Alan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners. One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi. "Excuse me, sir," he said, very politely, "but could you tell me the time?" The man, who was very well - dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "but could you please tell me what time it is?" This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, "Why wouldn't you tell me the time, sir?" The man turned towards him and said, "Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say 'That's all right.' You may then say 'It's a beautiful day,' to which I may reply 'Yes, I like these sunny winter days.' Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite young man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good - looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?" Alan shook his head. "No, sir, I'm sorry, I don't. Everything you have said seems very natural to me." "Exactly," the man said, "and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch." And with these words he hurried away. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?

What did the man mean by the underlined part "Put yourself in my shoes"?

What kind of a man was Alan Chang in the man's opinion?

Have you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S. Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. According to the first paragraph, the pawpaw _______.

A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S. At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska. Once American found the pawpaw mainly ________.

The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S. president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president, was also a fan of the fruit. He planted pawpaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw. American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about _______.

The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment—low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from. The fruit requires a very special environment—_______.

Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers have organized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer. What have the farmers organized “pawpaw festivals” in some states?

A class with hundreds or even thousands of students might sound like a teacher's worst nightmare. But a big idea in higher education these days is Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCS. Some universities offer free, non-credit MOOCS available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology started its first MOOC in 2012. The school plans to offer many free, non-credit courses through a project called MITX. Many Chinese universities are beginning to offer free MOOCS now, too. Nowadays, MOOCS almost cover every topic, like computer science, technology, mechanics, languages, etc. Generally speaking, there are no formal education requirements for these free online courses. Students watch short videos. Then, they take informal, ungraded quizzes after the videos each week for certain weeks. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to keep students engaged and them thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what was covered. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want. Students receive homework. They can join online groups to exchange questions and answer questions about the courses. The teachers hold virtual office hours to answer questions that the students have posted. They also present their own questions and observations. Some supporters claimed that there are things that we can do better in the online format. We can certainly deliver high-quality education to many students at a much lower cost. Which of the following sentence is true?

Do the students watch short videos if they follow MOOCS?

What can they do in online groups?

What do the teachers hold to answer student's questions?

Through the article, the author wants to tell us that _______.

One day a bookseller(书商)let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to see the doctor,” said his wife. “No,” he said. “I’ll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I’ll ask him about my foot. If I go to see him, I’ll have to pay him.” On the next day the doctor came into the shop for some books. When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it. “You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put something on it,” said the doctor. He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. “Buy this and put it on the foot before you very go to bed every night,” he said. “Thank you,” said the bookseller. “And now, sir, here are your books.” “How much?” said the doctor. “Two pounds.” “Good,” said the doctor. “I shall not have to pay you anything.” “Why?” asked the bookseller. “I told you about your foot. I want two pounds for that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. But when I go to their houses, I want two pounds. And I came here, didn’t I?” What happened to the bookseller one day?
