三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共20分)
A
In Xuchang City, Henan, there is an old grandma named Cai Ruiyun. People call her Grandma Cai. Grandma Cai is 89 years old and runs a barbershop (理发店). She is good at cutting hair and can do it quickly. But she asks for only 2 yuan for giving others a haircut. It touches many people’s heart.
Grandma Cai opened her shop in 1986. In the shop, there is just a mirror, a 30-year-old chair and some other old things. Neighbours advise her to renovate the shop, but Grandma Cai doesn’t want to change. She hopes to keep it the same as before. In Cai’s heart, the shop is old, but it helps her remember a lot of good old days. Grandma Cai works hard in the shop. Every morning, she arrives at her shop at about seven, ready to serve others.
Although it is becoming more expensive to run the shop, Grandma Cai still asks for only 2 yuan for a haircut. And if someone is having a difficult time, she often offers to cut their hair for free.
Some people think 2 yuan is too little and want to pay her more, but Grandma Cai always says no. When people ask why she keeps the price so low, she smiles and says, “I don’t think about making money from this. I just want to do good things for others. I want to help people while I can.”

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself: Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president of the Students’ Union. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I’m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should be chosen.”
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the canteen. I offered him a polite “congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, er ... I’m just wondering if you would ... consider coming to work in my team,” he said nervously. “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, if you change your mind, we will meet tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being part of the election (选举) process would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to create a catchy (朗朗上口的) advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway without passing Jeff’s smiling face.
My next step was to find out which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add these activities to our school programmes.
With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.
An eighth grader said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as the president.”
Hearing these words, I found my heart filled with pride. I had wanted to become president of the Students’ Union to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his success. The feeling that I have made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!
( ) 34. Why did Jeff came to the writer in the canteen?
A. Because he wanted to congratulate the writer.
B. Because he wanted to ask the writer to join his team.
C. Because he wanted to have lunch with the writer.
D. Because he wanted the writer to be president of the Student’s Union.
( ) 35. Why did the writer want to join the Student’s Union?
A. He wanted to make changes to his school.
B. He liked the feeling of being president of the Student’s Union.
C. He wanted to beat Jeff in the election.
D. All of his friends wanted him to be president of the Student’s Union.
( ) 36. How did the students like their activities?
A. They were forced to attend.
B. They thought their ideas were useless.
C. They liked their activities a lot.
D. They wanted another person to be the president.
