A
Some rich and beautiful ladies were sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying their picnic. When they were washing their hands and feet in the clean water, they saw their reflections(倒影).
Seeing their reflections in the water, they started to praise their own beauty. One of them said, “How beautiful my hands are!”
Another woman said her hands were even more beautiful. A third one said the same things. Soon, an argument broke out among them.
They saw an old woman passing by. She was walking with the help of a stick and her clothes were dirty.
Seeing her, one lady suggested asking the old woman about whose hands were the most beautiful. They all agreed. When the old woman came near, they showed her their hands and asked, “Who has the most beautiful hands?”
The old woman said, “I am hungry and thirsty. Give me something to eat and then I will answer you.”
They refused and asked her to go away.

After the old woman felt a little better, she went back to those rich ladies. Pointing to that poor woman, she said, “She has the most beautiful hands.”

下面文章中有五处(第5—9题)需要添加小标题。从方框中所给的A—F六个选项中选出符合各段意思的标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
Cell phones are no longer tools just for communicating with someone. While a smartphone can be a valuable learning tool, the exposure (曝光) it gives you can be overwhelming (令人不知所措的) and at times, dangerous as well. Make sure that you follow these rules for proper usage of the device.
5.__B__
Often, dinner time is the only time that the family gets to spend together. Because of this, that meal time should be regarded as family time. So there should be no phone use.
6.__C__

7.__A__
Taking pictures and videos are part of having a phone. But you need to know about taking the right kind of pictures. This means that you must be careful about taking photos of yourself, your family, and friends. You also need to keep other people's privacy in mind while taking photos.
8.__F__
You must learn to keep your number private and not give it to strangers (this should become part of a wider understanding of social safety and the importance of protecting all of your personal data).
9.__D__
