Four years ago, 55-year-old Billy Ray Harris was homeless. He lived on a street corner in Kansas City, holding out a cup and asking passers-by for money. But then, one day, his life changed.

On February 9th, a kindhearted woman named Sarah Darling passed Billy Ray. She reached into her purse, took out all the coins she had and dropped them into his cup. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.

Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy her $4000 diamond ring with all her change until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. To their surprise, the homeless man was not only in the same place, he also returned the ring at once. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.

But this was just the beginning of their story. Sarah and her husband, Bill, became friends with Billy Ray. Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just three months, Billy received over $200,000. That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all—Thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 16 years.

All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing—returning something that did not belong to him.

1.Why did Sarah give her ring to Billy?

A. Because she wanted to help Billy. B. Because it was Billy’s ring.

C. Because she did it by mistake. D. Because she wanted to test Billy.

2.The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”.

A. setting up a special page B. receiving money

C. living with a generous person D. returning the diamond ring

3.Where can you probably find this article?

A. In a history book. B. In a magazine.

C. In a guide book. D. In an ad.

If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland. The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.

They’re not for everyone. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles(堆)of rocks. Sometimes the view(风景) looks like pictures of the moon.

But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the ways to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colors, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. In the spring there is also green in the hills. In the summer and winter the hills are more purple.

On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a bed.

Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk in the clean and cool air, and enjoy the quiet beauty and the views.

根据文章内容,回答下列问题。

1.Are there many people living on the Hebrides Islands?

2.How is the weather on the Hebrides in the summer?

3.What can you see from the hills when you are on the Hebrides?

4.Where do visitors stay for the night on the Hebrides?

5.According to the passage, what can we do on the Hebrides?
