B One morning a boy of twelve was standing at the foot of the stairway up to tile S. S. Panama. Suddenly he saw a small fire at one end of that ship. It was a good thing that he did, because there was nobody else around, and in no time, the small fire grew dangerously big. Seeing the small fire, the boy shouted at the top of his voice.

Panama was one of the six ships in the port, where there were lots of old buildings, shops and houses nearby. The S. S. Panama was carrying oil, paint and paper from ports in the Far East. The fire burned lots of paper, which was why it spread very quickly. The end of the ship was now- black with smoke, but thanks to the boy, the fire did not reach the paint or the oil. The boy was also lucky, because his father was pleased rather than angry with him. The fire spread very quickly because lots of ()had been burned.
A. oil
B. paint
C. paper
D. paper, oil and paint

D A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车). They came to a log cabin(小棚屋). The mall shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the young woman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close. "Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we’ll be good friends." The new mother with the smiling face went to’ work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied(整理) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy’s mattress(床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night. Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes. Maybe, if she hadn’t come to the cabin, he wouldn’t have lived to be a man. When Abe’s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm, Sarah took Abe’s part against his father. Abe would rather read than eat, and when his father told him to stop, Sarah said, "Let the boy read." In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem. For the last time she had taken Abe’s part against his father. For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read. More than twenty years later, when Abe, who had then become famous, was going to make a speech in a nearby town, Sarah went there just to watch him. In the crowd she tried to make herself small, but he saw her and, in front of everybody, got out of his carriage and went over and put his arms around her and kissed her. Yes, that was her Abe. "He loved me truly," she said later. If Sarah hadn’t come to the cabin, ().
Abe’s father wouldn’t have told him not to go to school
B. Abe wouldn’t have helped his father on the farm
C. Abe wouldn’t have had so much time to read
D. Abe’s father wouldn’t have told him to stop reading

That cake was the only one we sold all day.After closing, Johnny and I sat discussing things with my daughter, who had been out from serving. "An interesting thing happened just before noon," she said. "The owner of the bakery next door came in and ordered a cake of ours. She wanted to compare it with hers."

A. the baker and her helper
B. the customers expected
C. the son and the daughter
