A nameless British millionaire is currently putting people to the test by handing out £1,000 to those he randomly meets in the street.All he'd ask is that they'd do something positive with the cash.The reactions are varied,from the surprised to the suspicious to the simply delighted.He has given away close to £100,000 to people he has met around the world.He hands those that he chooses a card explaining his project and allows them 48 hours to get in touch.
“Mr.Lucky” is from London,in his late thirties and appears wearing rolled-up jeans and with a camera around his neck.Working for an insurance company abroad,he earned his fortune and resigned last year after having realized he had more money than he knew what to do with.
“I once booked myself a flight into space;I thought I'd fulfill my childhood dream.Then I told my friends and when the conversation changed to what they would do if they had that amount of money,I felt embarrassed.Their ideas were much more generous,interesting and responsible than mine,” said Mr.Lucky.After canceling his space flight and struggling to choose a worthy cause for his cash,he decided to set up the WeAreLucky project.“I didn't want to just pass on my luck;I also wanted to share the responsibility.I decided to give away £1,000 every day.I'd asked the receivers to fill in a brief questionnaire to explain their intentions in using the money.”
But is handing over the responsibility to others really a responsible thing to do? How does he know the money will be used properly? “I'm not going to judge or start checking up on them.Sometimes what we need to do is just believing others,” he said with nearly child?like enthusiasm.
1.How do people feel when offered £1,000 by “Mr.Lucky”?
A.Shocked. B.Cheerful.
C.Embarrassed. D.Stressful.
2.How did Mr.Lucky get so much money?
A.Flying into space.
B.Giving out some questionnaires to people.
C.Setting up a web site.
D.Working in an insurance company.
3.Which conclusion can be drawn from the third paragraph?
A.What Mr.Lucky dreamed in his teens is to fly into space.
B.What Mr.Lucky wants to do is to pass on his fortune.
C.Why Mr.Lucky decided to set up the WeAreLucky.
D.Why Mr.Lucky changed the way he spent money.
4.Why did Mr.Lucky hand out his money?

Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.
Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.
Three years later, Roussel’s grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员), but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.
That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指挥家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel's navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel's manuscript to the conductor.
1.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. Roussel gave up his naval career.
b. Roussel was adopted by his aunt.
c. Roussel read through the family music collection.
d. Roussel had his first performance as a composer in Cherbourg.
A. c, b, d, a B. b. c, d, aC. b, c, a. dD. c, b, a, d
2.What ______ did played the most important part in Roussel's final success.
A. his mother B. the husband of his aunt
C. his navy friend D. Edouard Colonne
3.We can infer from the article that______.
A. Roussel's aunt adopted him after his grandfather died.
B. Roussel read through the family music collection in his grandfather's.
C. Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
D. If Roussel hadn't joined the navy, he might not have achieved so much.
4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A clever musician B. A white lie
