2.In the late 1920s my mother ran away from home to marry my father.Marriage,if not running away,was expected of 17-year-old girls.By the time she was 20,she had 2 children and was pregnant with a third.5 children later,I was born.And this is how I came to know my mother:she seemed a large,soft,loving-eyed woman who was rarely impatient in our home.Her quick,violent temper was on view only a few times a year,when she battled with the white landlord who had the misfortune to suggest to her that her children did not need to go to school.She made all the clothes we wore,even my brothers' overalls.She made all the towels and sheets we used. She spent the summers canning vegetables and fruits.She spent the winter evenings making quilts enough to cover all our beds.During the "working" day,she labored beside-not behind-my father in the fields.Her day began before sunup,and did not end until late at night.There was never a moment for her to sit down,undisturbed,to unravel her own private thoughts;never a time free from interruption-by work or the noisy inquiries of her many children.And yet,it is to my mother-and all our mothers who were not famous-that I went in search of the secret of what has fed that muzzled and often mutilated,but vibrant,creative spirit that the black woman has inherited,and that pops out in wild and unlikly places to this day. 问题：The white landlord angered the narrator's mother by ( )
A.telling her not to let her children go to school
B.fighting with her
C.driving her children out of school
D.being rich
3.New measurements taken from sleeping people explain,at least in part,why dreams tend to have such bizarre but vivid storylines.The findings deal a blow to the Freudian interpretation of dreams but leave open the possibility that some useful personal meaning can be extracted from them.The main purpose of dreams,however,the authors of the new study believe,is to test whether the brain has had enough sleep and,if so,to wake it up.The new results show that in sleep,the frontal lobes of the brain are shut down.In the absence of activity in these lobes,which integrate other information and make sense of the outside world,the sleeping brain's images are driven by its emotional centers.The content of these dreams may be vivid and gripping but lacks coherence.The new results are consistent with the theory that memories are consolidated during sleep.From the pattern of activity that was recorded,"it seems that memories already in the system are being read out and filed in terms of their emotional salience,with is an extremely interesting idea,"said Dr.J.Allan Hobson of Harvard Medical School.The new measurements were made by applying the technique known as PET scanning to sleeping subjects.The biologists focused on the two forms of sleep,known as slow-wave sleep and REM sleep.REM sleep,so named because of the rapid eyeball movements that occur then,takes palce about four times during the night and is the phase from which the most vivid dreams are recalled. 问题：According to the passage,all of the following are ture except that ( )
A.the technique,PET scanning,leads researchers to focus on two forms of sleep

C.in REM sleep,rapid eyeball movements occur

6.Everyone who eats in Carman's Country Kitchen in South Philadelphia knows that if you need a job,a place to stay or a friendly ear on a blue day,you come to Carman Luntzel.The six-foot,46 year-old powerhouse not only cooks,she also acts as her restaurant's discussion leader and matchmaker.When breakfast regular Stephen Sacavitch wasn't meeting women,she put his picture on a bulletin board,with the words:"Girls.Nice guy.Give him a break."Last September a coffeepot left on a red-hot burner nearly destroyed the restaurant.Luntzel didn't have insurance.But bad news has a way of turning good at Carman's.Bereft at the thought of no more buttermilk pancakes or homemade pear pie-and no more Carman dishing out advice and help-her customers pitched in.They boarded up her windows,removed debris and primed and painted her scorched walls.It wasn't just the regulars.A guy on a motorcycle dropped off some cash.A woman from a nearby restaurant scoured charred dishes and stuck two $50 bills in Luntzel's pocket as she left.Just three weeks after the blaze,Luntzel was serving breakfast again."It was incredible,"she says."There's a sense about Carman that is just can-do,"says regular Kevin Vaughan."It's infectious." 问题：What was infectious about the restaurant?
