If there is one person who has left a deep impression on me, it's my my teacher, Mrs. Pathak, who was my class teacher for three years. In my childhood, how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her. One moment she could be hard-working and strict, another moment kind and patient.
She always encouraged us to tell the truth. For example, if one had not done the homework, he need not lie. She allowed us to make mistakes, saying we couldn’t be perfect all the time, but we should try.
Another thing she taught me was punctually. She set a good example with her own actions. She was always on time, so we students tried our best to be on time.
She surprised us with her sense of humor. Her classroom teaching was always humorous. After class, she talked to us and told us jokes.
We really felt free to ask questions and Mrs Pathak would give the answers. If she did not know—there had some occasions—she would say so. We all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever came up with the answers was praised and given the prize. Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs. Pathak just wanted to encourage us to explore and find answers by ourselves.
According to the passage, which of the following words is NOT for describing Mrs. Pathak?
A. Hard-working. B. Humorous C.careless.
The underlined word “punctually “ in the third paragraph probably means _______
A. being on time B. being honest C.being patient
According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A. Mrs. Pathak often asked us to tell jokes in class.
B. Mrs. Pathak thought telling the truth was good.
C. Mrs. Pathak was always angry in the classroom.
In the writer’s opinion, why didn’t Mrs. Pathak give the answers to the questions sometimes?
A. Because she wanted the students to find out the answers by themselves.
B. Because she didn’t like answering the questions.
C. Because she didn’t know the answers to all the questions.
How did the students feel when they asked Mrs. Pathak questions?

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, because I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh，no， I want to take you to lunch at Smith's,” or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would he very nice.”

(AD 78-139)	It was invented. Zhang Heng was born in Nanyang in the eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, there were many earthquakes every year. People thought they were from ghosts. Zhang Heng, however, didn’t believe it. He tried to find ways to study earthquakes for many years and in 132 he invented the first seismometer in the world.
It was used. But at first, people didn’t believe it and all laughed at him. In February, 138, Zhang heng’s seismometer told there was an earthquake in the west of Luoyang. After four days, three earthquakes really happened in Luoyang area. It was believed to be useful from then on. However, it was lost 1700 years ago.
It was reproduced. Scientists have been trying to reproduce one like that. In 2012, the latest reproduced seismometer was successfully listed in Shanghai museum. It was reported to have been a little helpful during the earthquakes in Tangshan, Yunnan and Sichuan. It is hoped to be improved better soon and be able to predict coming earthquakes one day.
