　　It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　“Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”

　　The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

　　“I will answer your question.”

　　Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:

　　 “When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.

　　 I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

　　 I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

　　I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.” 1. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos __________ at first.

　　 A. laughed at his foolishness     

　　B. wasn’t sure of the answer

　　 C. doubted his seriousness       

　　D. wasn’t interested at all 2. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?   A. He found it on the road and made it round.   B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present.   C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing.   D. He put the broken pieces together and made it. 3. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?   A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys.   B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t reach.   C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.   D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him. 4. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most probably means _____ .   A. symbol      

　　B. source     

　　C. light    

　　D. purpose 5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?   A. A Special Game in the Childhood

　　B. A Broken Piece of Mirror   C. Dr. Papaderos’ Experience

　　  D. The Meaning of Life

Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!

　　Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
