On the broad landing between Miss Havisham’s own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out,I saw a garden chair—a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind.It had been placed there since my last visit,and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room,and across the landing and round the other room,which,from that day on,became my regular job.

As we began to be more used to one another,Miss Havisham talked more to me,and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做學徒) to Joe,my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything,in the hope that she might offer some help.But,she did not; on the contrary,she seemed to prefer my being ignorant.Neither did she ever give me any money—or anything but my daily dinner—nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.

Estella was always about,and always let me in and out,but never told me I might kiss her again.Sometimes,she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes,she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes,she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes,she would tell me energetically that she hated me.Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper,or when we were alone,“Does she grow prettier and prettier,Pip?” And when I said yes,Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily.Also,when we played cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella’s moods,whatever they were.And sometimes,when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do,Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness,saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope,break their hearts and have no mercy!”

1.What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?

A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.

B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.

C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.

D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe,his sister’s husband.

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.

C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.

D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.

3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

A. Changeable. B. Sincere.

C. Warm?hearted. D. Indifferent.

4.Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because .

A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip

B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods

C. she thought Estella did something right

In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life - size bronze statue (雕像) of a dog. Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon signs flashing, it isn’t difficult to find. It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive—just look for the crowds.

Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.

Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time, though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors (商販). He became a familiar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.

1.Why is the statue not difficult to find?

A. It’s a famous scenic spot in Japan.

B. The station is the largest in Japan.

C. It’s larger than the other statues.

D. It’s a meeting place for the people.
