When I was 19, I became the first female photojournalist in the Gaza Strip（加沙地带）, Palestine. My work as a woman photographer was considered as a serious shame to local traditions. The man-ruled job made me feel unwelcome by all possible means. They made it clear that a woman must not do a man’s job. Photo agencies in Gaza refused to train me.

Three of my co-workers went as far as to drive me to an open air strike（空袭）area where explosions（爆炸）were the only thing I could hear. I only realized we weren’t there to document（记录）the event when the three of them got back into the armored（装甲）Jeep and drove away, waving and laughing, leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.

For a moment, I felt terrified, ashamed, and sorry for myself…

I started paying closer attention to women’s lives in Gaza. As a woman, I could go where my co-workers were forbidden to go. Beyond the obvious pain and suffering, there were healthy amounts of laughter and joy.

In front of a police station in Gaza City, an Israeli air strike destroyed the station and broke my nose. For a moment, all I saw was bright white. I thought I had either gone blind or I was in heaven. By the time I managed to open my eyes, I had documented this moment.

Mohammed Khader is a Palestinian worker who spent two decades in Israel. When he retired, he built a four-floor house. But his house was destroyed in this air strike. Nothing was left but a bathtub. Mohammed put the bathtub on the top of the ruins and started giving his kids a bubble bath every morning.

My work is not meant to hide the scars of war, but to show the full unseen stories of Gazans. As a Palestinian female photographer, the journey of struggle, survival and everyday life has inspired me to overcome the community taboo（禁忌）and see a different side of war and its aftermath. I became a witness with a choice: to run away or stand still.

24. The author was not welcome by her co-workers in the Gaza Strip because ________.

A. she hadn’t received the training offered by the photo agency

B. the local traditions didn’t allow a woman to do a man’s job

C. her co-workers were going to take part in the battle

D. she was terrified of explosions in the air strike area

25. During the air strike on the police station, what happened to the author?

A. Her nose was broken. B. She went blind.

C. She went to heaven. D. She felt dizzy for a long time.

26. The author used Mohammed Khader as an example to show __________.

A. there was pain as well as laughter during the war

B. how dangerous the surroundings were in Gaza

C. she could document common people’s lives at the war

D. how the war had influenced her life

27. From the passage, it can be inferred that the author _________.

A. wouldn’t like to reveal the cruel side of war

B. had to leave Gaza because of the community taboo

C. decided to document more unseen scenes in the war

D. was determined to run away from the war in Gaza

C

I use the public library weekly and on the shelf at this moment is The Child in Time, a novel about a three-year-old girl taken away by force and the disclosing of her parents’ marriage—guilt, anger, grief, loneliness. I’m a quarter of the way through this tidy novel but may return it to the library unfinished. Words are underlined in pencil by one of the previous readers who, I suspect, was trying to improve her vocabulary.

The underlined words have stopped my progress and not because of annoyance. As a poet, sometimes searching for the right words myself, I began to consider the author of these pencil strikes. She was female, near my age (early 60s), and thoughtful about the years lost on a no-good husband. Like the graceful (优雅的) pencil marks, she was controlled in every way—touch, voice, makeup, and clothes. Perhaps a nurse attracted to the novel’s theme? Or an inexperienced bookworm on her way to the morning shift by bus?

I gave her the details of a life story, but one fact remained: A reader had underlined words. In doing so, she had accepted the view that learning doesn’t end. She might have been a mail carrier(this is how I saw her by page 180), but she was not about to give up, now capped with gray hair.

There are thousands of words we don’t know, seen in print or heard in conversation. We can just let them go, and be none the worse because of it. But we can also give new words a try. The attempts are interesting.

I might finish the novel—it’s very good, after all. But as I read, I can’t help thinking of the previous reader—nurse or mail carrier. She turned the page and, through reading glasses as thick as mine, made marks on her self-improvement.

28. What do we know about the girl in the novel The Child in Time?

A. She was upset because of wearing thick glasses.

B. She was cheated at home by her parents.

C. She grew up in a family lacking love and care.

D. She loved to read novels at an early age.

29. How did the underlined words affect the author?

A. They have encouraged her to go on reading the novel.

B. They have made her annoyed and she’s stopped reading.

C. She is determined to be a graceful reader like the former one.

D. She began to imagine what the former reader is like.

30. What does the passage say about the author?

A. She’s in her 60’s and doesn’t have a good family life.

B. She has been i
