5．Letters to the Editor Nurses' strike
Sir，I have worked in the public sector for more than 30 years and know that the idea that nurses will be "driven out" of the health service by the 1 per cent pay offer is poppycock（胡说） （news，Mar 8）.What attracts and keeps people working in these areas is public service and，as the Queen said in her message，a "selfless devotion to duty".
Tim Kerin
London E7 Doorstep heroes
Sir，I can understand why so many people now like to have their milk delivered （"Pint-sized heroes are back on doorstep"，Mar 8）but don't know why it has to be at such antisocial hours.I have often been woken up by the loud noise of Milk & More delivering to one of my neighbours in the early hours，and one day last week it was even at 1：50 a.m. ，which made me sleepless the following hours.
Helen Hinde
Ruislip，Middx Wine of the weak
Sir，Jane MacQuitty excelled（突出） herself in her wine column this week （"Red wine for lightweights：the best 12% and under bottles"，Weekend，Mar 6）.The eight bottles on offer were flavoured as follows：forest-fruited，meaty，mocha，beetrooty，tobacco leaf，lemony and samphire.The star flavours（调味） in a Reisling from Chile were fat and lime pickle（酸菜味）.Of the eight bottles of wine only one was described as "grapey".

6．Do you know what "zero" means？Have you ever even stopped to think much about this concept （概念）？It's an easy one to take for granted.Of course，everyone can understand the concept of nothing，or having nothing.
But did you know that some animals can understand zero as well？Experiments with monkeys and birds have proven that they can master this concept.But now，the understanding of zero has been found in a most unlikely candidate （候选人）：bees.
According to a recently published study in the journal Science，Australian and French researchers worked together to conduct experiments to prove that bees are the first insects to "understand that zero belongs at the lower end of a sequence （序列） of numbers"，according to a report by Science Daily.
Scarlett Howard，a researcher at RMIT University in Melbourne，trained bees to choose from several cards with different numbers of shapes printed on them.Correctly choosing the card with the fewest shapes earned them a reward of sugar water.For example，the bees learned to choose three elements when presented with three VS four；or two elements when presented with two VS three.And then these bees were presented a challenge- a card that was entirely blank and that they had never seen before.But 64 percent of the time，they chose to fly toward the blank card instead of the card that had shapes on it.This suggests that the insects understand that zero stands for something less than two or three，according to Science magazine.
Associate Professor Adrian Dyer，also from RMIT University，said the number zero was the basis of modern mathematical and technological progress.
He told Science Daily that the findings have opened a door to new understandings of how different brains understand zero. "If bees can understand zero with a brain of less than a million neurons （神经元） [compared with the 86，000 million neurons of a human brain]，it suggests there are simple and efficient （有效的） ways to teach artificial （人工的） intelligence new tricks ."
（1）Why did the writer ask two questions in Para.1？
A．To expect an exact answer.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To show the concept of "zero".
D．To inspire scientists to study.
（2）What did the Australian and French researchers recently find？
A．Most insects can recognize different shapes.
B．Bees can understand the meaning of zero.
C．Bees are better at numbers than monkeys and birds.
D．Most insects can be trained to understand numbers.
（3）How did Scarlett Howard prove bees had the concept of zero？
A．By giving examples.
B．By designing cards.
C．By showing numbers.
D．By doing experiments.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.6 -
7．My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future.I was in the classroom，but I wasn't there to learn to write，read or even speak.When it was my turn to read，I wanted to hide.I was 13 years old，but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher，Mr.Creech，who knew I couldn't read.In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up.I felt so embarrassed.But at the same time，it made me realize that I needed to change the situation.I was determined it wouldn't happen again.Later that day，Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read.From then on，I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old，one day，I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family.On my way from the airport，I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink.I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. "Do I know you？" he asked. "Yes，sir，you do know me，" I answered excitedly. "My name is Anthony Hamilton.You taught me English." The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
"I'm so glad I had a chance to see you，" I said. "And Mr.Creech，I have great news to share." I told him I had learned to read.But that wasn't all.I had become a published author and an active speaker. "The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom，please encourage him to read as well，" I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name：dyslexia （诵读困难）.But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
（1）Why did the author want to hide？
A．Because he couldn't read at all.
B．Because he felt sorry for himself.
C．Because he hated being laughed at.
D．Because he didn't have a ticket.
（2）Which of the following could best describe Mr.Creech？
A．Emotional and dedicated.
B．Demanding and enthusiastic.
C．Considerate and dutiful.
D．Friendly and ambitious.
（3）Why couldn't the author read before meeting Mr.Creech？
A．Because his reading age was not long enough.
B．Because he didn't have inner driving force（力量） to learn to read.
C．Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D．Because his parents didn't teach him how to read.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？
A．Mr.Creech taught two Anthony Hamiltons.
B．Dyslexia made the author unable to read.
C．The author had become an active speaker.
D．The author was grateful to Mr.Creech.组卷：6引用：2难度：0.6
