One of the best-loved American writers was William Sydney Porter, or O. Henry. From 1893 he lived with his family in a house in Austin, Texas, which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was saved from destruction and turned into a museum in1934. The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the American writer.
William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years. Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in the room is the original photograph over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895. The piano there goes back to the 1860s. His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.
Porter did not start his career as a successful writer. He worked at a farm, land office and bank. He also loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof of Porter’s love of language ——his dictionary. It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.
Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged（控告 ）with financial wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trail, he left the country secretly. But he returned because his wife was dying. After her death, he faced the trial and became a criminal（罪犯）. He served three and a half years in a prison in Ohio.
William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided him with time to write. By the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as O. Henry. Porter later moved to New York City and found great success there. He published over 180 stories in the last eight years of his life.
24. O. Henry’s house in Austin has been well kept up till now so that ________.
A. Americans can explore their history B. more visitors will be attracted to Austin
C. visitors can learn about O. Henry’s life B. it can show the way of life in the 1860s

A. It was hated by Porter’s daughter. B. It has a long history of about 160 years.
C. Porter’s wife gave music lessons on it. D. Porter usually created music on it.
26. How does the museum prove Porter was fond of language
A. With a dictionary he used. B. With the records they keep.
C. Using the books they w rate D. Using the photograph they keep.
27. Why did Porter escape from Austin
A. He didn’t want to lose his job. B. He didn’t want to make trouble.
C. He meant to save his wife’s life. D. He was charged with a crime.

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.
The research into friends hip shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends when at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just 4.
Forever Friends’ relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.
29. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook
A.4. B.12. C.18. D.22.
30. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.
A. how important making friends is B. that friendship is not easy to keep
C. how much has been done to keep friendship D. that friendship at school is important
31. The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.
A. make sense of B. lose contact with C. feel sorry for D. make up with
32. This passage is most probably taken from ________.
A. Facebook or Twitter B. an advertisement C. a textbook D. a newspaper
D
In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit（IC）card reader（读卡器）at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a flaw in the system that you cannot buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense. Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.
B. The clock times all through except when the bather pauses for soap.
C. If money runs out, there will be no water.
D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.
34. The underlined word “flaw” （Paragraph 3）most probably means ________.
A. perfection B. convenience C. fortune D. fault
35. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the new operation can solve the water crisis
B. the new operation can help raise students’ environmental awareness
C. a similar operation has been set in other universities
D. the university hasn’t saved a lot of water by using the new system
