Giving life and hope
Orphans(孤儿)whose parents died of AIDS in Henan Province have been given new hope．Last week the provincial government answered the children's cries by promising 60 million yuan to improve schools，orphanages(孤儿院)and living conditions．But without the efforts of Dr．Gao Yaojie，these cries may never have been heard．
“I’m a doctor and it’s my duty to cure diseases and save lives，”said the 77-year-old grandmother．Gao was named one of the 2003 People of Year on February 20 by CCTV after millions of people took part in an online poll. But in 1996，when she started to promote AIDS awareness，using money from her own pocket，her actions were widely misunderstood．
“Although some of the children were born with born with HIV，90 percent of them were not infected(被感染)，”Gao said．“But people still reject(排斥)them．Many orphans change their names after finding a foster family(领养家庭)．”
The horror of Henan's AIDS problem became known in 1996．Frequent and unsafe blood-selling by poor farmers in the late 1980s and early 1990s had caused HIV to spread through dirty needles and infected blood use．As a doctor，Gao believed she should help：over the last eight years she has visited over 1000 AIDS and HIV patients and published thousands of pamphlets on AIDS awareness．With her help，hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found foster families．
“It's a disaster for the whole nation，not only for those innocent(无辜的)patients and their families，”she explained．Gao is delighted that so many childless families offer to foster orphans．But there is still much that can be done to support these children．“I hope that warm-hearted high school students will also reach out and offer a helping hand，”she said．

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is:“This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

III . 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
Happiness is associated with smiling . But do we always smile when we are happy?
During the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, Spanish researchers were surprised to see that these medal winners didn’t smile very much. In fact, throughout the different medal ceremonies, they only smiled about 10 percent of the time. But during the brief moment when the gold medal was put around their neck, the medal winners grinned (露齿笑) about 70% of the time.
The researchers interviewed winners they had watched to find out how they felt. All the winners interviewed said that they felt intensely happy throughout the ceremony.
Though they were profoundly happy , they didn’t smile a great deal .The researchers concluded that smiling was not the automatic expression of happiness. The fact that the gold medal winners smiled much more when they were actually being given their medals could be explained because, according to the Spanish researchers, smiling was a form of communication between individuals. The happy athletes were smiling at the people who were giving them gold medals.
Perhaps we can support the findings of Spanish researchers by making some observations of our own behaviors. When we are all alone, for example, do we smile at ourselves when we are happy? Probably not very often. If someone greets us with a friendly smile, do we respond with a smile? Yes , we probably do. When a friend gives us a beautiful present, will we show our appreciation with a smile? Yes , of course . But if we are sitting alone watching television, do we smile at a commentator (讲解员) who smiles at us?
56. How much of the time did the gold medal winners smile during the medal ceremonies?
A.10% B.70% C.22% D.92%
57. According to the passage , when did the athletes smile quite a lot ?
A. Throughout the medal ceremony.
B. When they were informed of their success
C. When the gold medal was put around their neck
D. When their national flag was raised
58. According to the passage, on which of the following occasions would we most probably Not smile?
A. When we are sitting alone watching TV
B. When someone greets us with a friendly smile.
C. When a friend gives us a beautiful present.
D. When we feel intensely happy
59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The gold medal winners were too nervous that they would hardly smile at the medal ceremonies
B. People will always smile automatically when they feel happy
C. Smiling is a way of communication

Giving an unwanted gift you received to someone else (regifting) is not considered as unacceptable
as in the past. Many Americans begin to regift and they think that regifting is okay most of the time. But
what should you avoid when regifting?
First of all, a gift card hidden in a gift box can easily get passed along in error. Therefore, take the
card out of the old packaging, buy a new one and take a little extra time to make the packaging look
fresh and attractive.
Secondly, people like to believe the gifts they receive are chosen with thought and consideration. If
you tell someone that the necklace you are giving is the one your aunt gave you last year, what you are
really saying is that you are giving them something you think is ugly or useless.
Thirdly, there is a big difference between regifting an unused gift and one that you have used just for
a short time and decided you no longer want. Remember, a regift is a new thing. A hand-me-down is an
item you've used and offer to someone else when you decide you no longer use it.
Most importantly, avoid giving a regift to friends who originally gave the gift to you. If the regift is
given, you risk getting caught for giving it away to the person who gave it to you.
In a word, regifting is a wonderful way to save money and when it is done with thought, we can
achieve the goal of why we are giving a gift to someone in the first place - because we want them to have
something they will enjoy.
1. You are advised to give a new packaging to a gift mainly because .
A. Americans like something new and attractive
B. it shows that the card has never been used
C. you can avoid giving the gift receiver wrong things.
D. it shows that the gift is chosen with thought
2. The worst thing happens when you .
A. regift a hand-me-down item
B. regift what you don't like
C. regift something wrapped in the original packaging
D. regift to the person who gave it to you
3. The main purpose of the writer is to tell us .
A. it's common to regift in America
B. the things we should avoid when regifting
C. regifting can cause mistakes
D. what are the proper things to regift
4. We can conclude from the text that the key to regifting is to .
A. do it with thought
B. pay attention to what you say
C. save as much money as possible
D. make the regift look new and attractive
