When Lydia Nash appeared on the TV programme Who wants to be a millionaire? and was fortunate enough to win £16,000,she decided to give all the money away. This wouldn't have been surprising if she had been rich or famous,but Lydia is a 19-year-old student.
Lydia gave all the money to a charity which helps orphans in Thailand. ul first visited the orphanage when I was seventeen,and I felt very depressed by what I saw. When I got back to England I felt angry — looking around all I could see were people who were obsessed with money. That persuaded me to return to Thailand the following year."
After she donated the money some of her friends thought that she had made the wrong decision. “Some people said I should have saved it for a deposit,” Lydia said. aStudents always complain about being poor. But there's an enormous difference between us and people who have absolutely no money."
With the help of the money Lydia gave them,the charity has just finished building “Rainbow House”，a new facility that will house 50 young children.
If Lydia had won a million pounds and not only £16,000,would she still have given away all the money? She said, “Before going on the show I thought a lot about what it would be like to have a lot of money and I realized that I wouldn't like it at all. And as I had been to the orphanage and had seen all the work that needed to be done,I knew how useful that money could be. I definitely think I got more enjoyment from giving the money away than if I had kept it for myself."
1. Why were people surprised at Lydia's donation?
A. She is an orphan.
B. She isn’t very famous.
C. She is young and not very wealthy.
D. She donated a large amount of money.
2. The underlined words “obsessed with” in Paragraph 2
probably mean.

Previous studies have shown that people with disease(老年痴呆) who are fluent in two languages exhibit symptoms of the condition four or five years later than people who are(只用一种语言的) .However,it has been difficult to explain the effects of knowing multiple languages.
To resolve the issue,Thomas Bak of the Universi of Edinburgh,UK turned to the study,which has tracked about l,l00 people bom in 1936 in and around Edinburgh.

You've probably heard about the -dangers of smoking. The good news is that fewer teens smoke today than at any time since the 1990s. But here's the bad news. Every day,nearly 4,000 kids in the U.S. try a cigarette for the first time. And every day,1,000 kids become regular smokers. Almost all teen smokers plan to quit within five years. But more than 60 percent are still smoking 7 to 9 years later.
Most people hope every teen in the world stays away from cigarettes,but not the people who work for- tobacco companies. Before people knew that cigarettes were dangerous,tobacco companies openly marketed their products to teens. In the early 1900s,some cigarette packs included collectible baseball cards. In the 1940s and 1950s,tobacco advertisements often featured actors and actresses. That ended in 1964,when the U.S. government released the results of a major scientific study on the effects of smoking on health. New laws banned cigarette advertising on TV and radio.
Advertising isn't the only way tobacco companies have tried to market their products. Candy-flavor^
cigarettes were once common. They contained tone (有毒的) chemicals and were as dangerous and addictive as regular cigarettes. Studies showed that these products were especially popular among teen smokers. And many teens mistakenly believed that these sweet cigarettes were safer than unflavored cigarettes. In 2009,flavored cigarettes were banned in the U.S..
By now,maybe you,ve noticed a pattern: Each time new laws are passed to protect teens,tobacco companies come up with new methods. Many states have approved high taxes on cigarettes; and prices have been increased to reduce smoking. To deal with this,tobacco companies give discounts to convenience stores so they can charge less for cigarettes.
The fact is that tobacco companies need you to become addicted to a deadly habit. Without new smokers,they will eventually go out of business. But you can at least make sure of one thing: They won't get you.
5. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .
A. smoking is still a problem among teenagers
B. the number of teen smokers has increased greatly
C. there are more teen smokers in the U.S. than other countries
D. the U.S. government has paid more attention to teen smokers
6. Which of the following is the correct order according to the text?
a. Flavored cigarettes were banned in the U.S..
b. Some cigarette packs contained collectible baseball cards.
c. New laws banned cigarette advertising on TV and radio.
d. Tobacco advertisements often featured actors and actresses.
A. a-d-c-b B. b-a-c-d C. b-d-c-a D. a-b-d-c
7. Compared with regular cigarettes,candy-flavored cigarettes were.
A. cheaper for teens
B. much more addictive
C. more popular among actors
D. as harmful as regular cigarettes
8. The text is most probably taken from .
A. a geography textbook B. a newspaper report
