III. 阅读理解

A.

We walke d in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise. Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said: “Very dirty floors.”

“Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said,” But aren’t you working late?”

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I washed until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.

After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said: “Thank you.”

Outside, Mum told me:”Dagmar is fine. No fever.”

In recent years many flower shops have appeared. It is common now for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visit a sick friend, or attend a wedding or birthday party. Fresh flowers are also indispensable for other ceremonial occasions.

The Beijing Flower Trade Center at Liangmaqiao is the largest wholesale fresh flower market in the capital, with a daily volume of between 150,000 and 160,000 blossoms. Ninety percent of the city's 500 flower shops obtain their stock there. According to He Xiaotang, manager of the Trade Center’s marketing department, in the past sales volume between National Day (October 1) and October 20 accounted for 20 percent of yearly sales because young people usually had their weddings during this time. Now winter has become the peak season, lasting from Christmas Day until Spring Festival, including New Year's Day and Valentine's Day. The proportion of flower sales to individuals keeps increasing.

A decade ago indoor decorations were mainly window papercuts and silk flowers.

Tension and anxiety are obstacles to effective learning. The ability to relax is just as important to success in school as the ability to read.

Anyone can learn to rid himself or herself of tension by resting the body, breathing deeply, and relaxing for three or four minutes before a test.

Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City—dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have the time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that，what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium(奇缺的，十分需要的). Tall buildings blot out the sun．Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

Welcome everyone, I am glad that you can come to Pingyao County, where there is the oldest Confucius temple. It was opened to the public Monday after a one-year renovation project. I hope you can appreciate the spot indeed. First, I will show the main building of the temple, its the most interesting spot here. Second, we can walk around to see the other area of the spot. Finally, I will tell the history of the temple. The main building of the temple was built in 1163, in the Yuan Dynasty , and has a history of more than 840 years. Compared with other famous Confucius temples nationwide, it was built 248 years earlier than that in Beijing, and 317 years earlier than that in Qufu City, Confucius's home in east China's Shandong Province. The temple in Qufu was added to the list of the World Cultural Heritages in 1995. The Pingyao Confucius Temple has China's largest statue collection of Confucius and famous ancient Confucian scholars. Covering a total area of 40,000 square meters, the temple has 112 buildings in 16 categories. that is the history of the temple. Please visit as you like. If you have any questions, you can ask me.
