When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的三个选项（A、B和C）中，选出最佳选项。
What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler … and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10%.
Scientists in UK did the study on 448 students. The students were studying for different degrees at the University of East London. Only 25% of them entered the exam hall with water.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought water with them got better grades by 2% to10%.
Scientists also predicted the students’ scores according to their normal schoolwork. They wrote down their possible scores on paper before exams.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also reduce anxiety (焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances.
“Whatever the explanation is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) with water during exams,” one of the scientists said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. It may help you pass the exam!
