阅读理解My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday because he never has any money.

“How did you manage it, John” I asked. “I thought you were going to stay for two weeks,”

“It was easy,” John answered. “I got a job.”

“A job!” I exclaimed. “What did you do？”

“I gave English lessons to a grocer,” John answered. “His name is Luigi. We have become great friends.”

“But you’re not a teacher,” I said.

“I told Luigi I couldn’t teach,” John explained. “But he insisted on having conversation lessons. He wanted to practice his English. He has a lot of American customers, so it is important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a little pocket money.”

“Did your pupil learn much English？” I asked.

“I don’t know,” John said. “But I learned a lot of Italian!”

out to be prosecuted for obscenity. He left England in 1919, and after three years' residence in Italy, left for America, settling in Mexico until the progress of his disease drove him in 1921 back to Italy where his last years were spent. His sensitive spirit was again shocked by further prosecutions for obscenity over the publication in Florence of Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1928.

While literary scholars will always be divided over Lawrence's worth as a writer (personally, I have always regarded Sons and Lovers as one of the best books I have ever read), there can be little doubt as to the influence Lawrence had on the younger writers and intellectuals of the 1920s. He challenged them by his attempt to interpret human emotion on a deeper level of consciousness than did his contemporaries. Such an approach provoked either sharp criticism or a near idolatrous respect.

T. S. Eliot regarded Lawrence as "a writer who had to write often badly in order to write sometimes well". His descriptive passages are often superb, but he had little humor, and this occasionally produced unintentionally comic effects. His burning idealism -- not eroticism -- glows through all his work and the larger proportion of his novels has an enduring strength.

What is the reaction of critics toward D.H. Lawrence's works of art？

A．Unanimous.

B．Varied.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Divided.

. It tells the story of men and women who in the course of the major events of the last 150 years have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters. The organization was established in 1863 and was based on the idea by a Swiss businessman called Henry Durant. He had witnessed the heavy casualties of the battle of Solferino in Italy four years earlier, in which 40,000 people were killed, wounded or missing. He had seen the lack of medical services in the great suffering of many of the wounded who simply died from lack of care.

The International Red Cross or Red Crescent exists to help the victims of conflicts and disasters regardless of their nationalities. The symbol of the organization was originally just a red cross. It has no religious significance. The founders of the movement adopted it as a tribute to Switzerland. However, during the rest of the Turkish war, the Turks felt that the cross could be seen as a fence to the Muslim soldiers and the second symbol, the red crescent, was adopted for use by national organizations in the Islamic world. Both are now official symbols.

The museum was built in memory of those

A．who died in wars.

B．who worked to help victims.

C．who lost their families in disasters.

D．who fought in wars.
