一、阅读理解。
阅读下列短 文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I always wondered what exactly happened on Sept 11, 2001. I wanted to know what caused the death of almost 3,000 people and the injuries of many others. Then I read the book called 102 Minutes.
New York Times reporters Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn wrote it. The two reporters interviewed many people who lived through it, watched many videos, studied people’s last phone calls and told the story of that horrible day.
With this book, I learned many things that I’d never heard about. The writers fully described the time from when the first plane hit the Twin Towers in New York until 102 minutes later when the towers fell down.
That morning, people in the towers went to work as usual. They had no idea what would happen later. After the terror attack happened, about five floors from the top, about 50 people were pressing their faces against the window, trying to get away the fire. Among them, a young man was standing on a window ledge as the fire came closer. Fear came into his eyes when he realized that jumping 80 floors was his only choice. Many people who were still in the building made the last phone calls to their loved ones. A construction manager and his co-workers kept trying to save and help others.
The whole book is full of such detailed and personal stories. They are people like us, but they showed courage and love in the horrible situation. It touched me. Meanwhile, I was shocked by what the terrorists had done. We should fight against them and keep peace. All in all, it’s really worth reading.

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Do you know something about Akuapem people? They live in eastern Ghana(加纳), where the sunshine hugs all the time. They are very friendly. Now let’s have a look at how the Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, for the host(主人) thinks that he visitor must have come from a very long trip and is in need of water. Then the host family greet the visitor by saying “Akwaaba”. More interestingly, if there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because the left hand is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
Next, the visitor is asked how his trip was and why he has come. While he conversation is going on, the wife and children, especially girls, are cooking food for the visitor. The visitor can choose the food. After the visitor has finished eating, the host and the visitor continue their conversation. Usually this is a short one since the visitor

is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food to take along. He is also accompanied (陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
No matter if he is a close or just a passer-by(过路人), this is always the way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
