Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window.

This went on, day by day.
Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to get rid of the tramp. She added poison to the bread she was going to offer to the tramp! When she was placing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” she immediately threw the bread into fire and made another one.
As usual, the tramp came and pick up the bread. “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.
That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the women’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mum, it’s a miracle that I can come back home!

Munro was born in a farmer family in Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a lot of physical work a_________ a young girl.

The story Dear Life, for example, opens with a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.
B_________, she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.
Since she p_________her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h___________ as a talented writer.
“I’m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily(轻而易举地) at all, the “it” being whatever I’m trying to do,’ she said.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （12分）
PISA is not the same as pizza, although both words are pronounced the same by Chinese. Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors. PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?!
PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. It’s a test taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It tests students’ ability in math, reading and science. Last year’s results were just released and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one in the world. Yes, that’s right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!
Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And few others feel the stress of schoolwork like shanghai students.
That’s why the Shanghai education authority is encouraging students to step away from their books. From time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art, singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.
Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.
88. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?
89. What does PISA stand for?
90. How often is PISA taken?
91. What did the last year’s results show?
92. Why is the Shanghai education authority encouraging students to step away from their books?
93. Is it a good idea that schools are setting aside time and providing facilities for the students?Why or why not?
