One day，Kerry promised marriage to Alice．Surprised and pleased by the offer，the girl was not sure whether she would spend her future as a wife or a painter．After a moment she replied as follows,“Each of us must paint a picture．If yours is superior to mine．you can make me your wife．If not，please drop the question．”Then it was decided to give it the following day．
The next morning，Alice hung her picture on the gate．It showed a bunch of flowers and won high praise(赞扬)from everyone who passed by．In fact，a crowd collected in front of her masterpiece and fixed their eyes on it．
Several hours passed．Then Kerry was seen coming along to the gate with what appeared to be a beautiful leather suitcase in his hand．When he finally stopped before Alice, the girl artist blushed like a rose and agreed to marry him without any hesitation(犹豫)．Why?
Answer the questions：
小题1:What are Kerry and Alice?
__________________________________________.
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined part“superior to”?
____________________________________________________
小题3:Did Kerry agree to Alice’s suggestion?
_____________________________________________________
小题4:Why did Alice’s picture win high praise?
____________________________________________________
小题5:What do you think the“leather suitcase’’ really was?
________________________________________________________________
答案
小题1:They were teachers of Art at Cambridge University.
小题2:It means “better than”.
小题3:Yes，he did.
小题4:It was true to nature
小题5:It was a painting drawn by Kerry.
解析
试题分析：文章讲述Kerry and Alice两人都是英国的艺术家，同在剑桥大学教绘画，绘画造诣上有得一拼，但没想到Kerry他向Alice她求婚。Alice提出比拼画艺来决定答应与否，结果Kerry的画比Alice更逼真，从而赢得了美人归的故事。
小题1:根据文章第一段第一句Kerry and Alice were both artists in Britain．及第二句They taught drawing and painting at Cambridge University进行信息加工即可得答案。
小题2:根据上下文意思，Kerry向Alice求婚，Alice要求各自画幅画，“如果你的超过我，就嫁给你，如果没有超过的话，就放弃。”从而可以推断出superior to是better than 之意。
小题3:根据倒数第三段最后一行Then it was decided to give it the following day可推断出Kerry同意Alice的看法。
小题4:从倒数第二段a crowd collected in front of her masterpiece and fixed their eyes on it可以得知Alice画的花活灵活现，很逼真。
小题5: the “leather suitcase”实际上是Kerry 画的画。从下文内容可知，Alice看到Kerry 的画后立刻同意嫁给他，由此可见Kerry的这幅画一定更为逼真。

It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.
I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.
It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.

“Do you like my dress?" A little girl asked a passing stranger. "My mommy made it just for me." She said with tears in her eyes. "Well, I think it"s very pretty. So tell me , little one, why are you 1 ?" With a quiver(颤动) in her voice the little girl answered，"After Mommy made me this dress, she had to 2 ."

Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my 16 so that I would have her kisses for every booboo (错误) that made me cry."

It fained harder and harder, and the 11 little butterflies flew to the white lily and said, “Good Lily, will you 12 your bud（花蕾）a little so we may fly in out of the rain?” The lily answered, “The white butterfly may 13 , because he is like me , but the red and yellow ones must stay outside in the storm..” Then the little white butterfly said, “If you won’t 14 my red and yellow brothers, I’ll stay out in the rain with them. We would rather be 15 than be separated.”
