The whole world is helping tsunami (海啸) victims. Students in the U.S. are also taking part. A friend of mine suggested that we organize a relief effort for the victims. We are officers of the American Red Cross at Yale (I’m the chairperson). After sending a letter to the other members of the Red Cross, I received a large number of responses from students interested in helping.
We decided to organize a charity concert to raise money for tsunami-ravaged areas. All ticket earnings will go directly to our parent organization, the American Red Cross. Currently, we’re in the process of inviting Yale’s numerous song, dance, and chamber music groups to perform at the concert.
So far, we’ve had a great response from these groups and volunteers have continued to pour in with their ideas and feedback. When I checked my inbox this morning, I had 56 tsunami fundraiser-related emails waiting for me. Although, everyone is still on winter vacation and away from school, we have the Internet to link up Yalies from around the globe. We share ideas not on the latest video games, but on how best to provide help.
The Red Cross at Yale is not alone in its aid effort. Student organizations across campus are working hard to raise funds and provide help to those who need it.
Yale’s South Asian Society (SAS) and the Asian American Students Alliance (AASA), which is an umbrella organization for many other groups including the Sri Lankan Students Association, are organizing charity dinners.
The food will be donated(捐赠)by restaurants from around campus. Every last penny of the earnings will be donated to a non-profit organization providing aid to South Asia.
After some discussion with the SAS and AASA, our groups have decided to plan our two events together. Students can attend the benefit dinner then go to the charity concert. There is no doubt in my mind that both events will have a fantastic turnout.
What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A. A charity concert to help tsunami victims.
B. The efforts of the American Red Cross at Yale to help tsunami victims.
C. The worldwide efforts to help tsunami victims.
D. What the Americans do to help tsunami victims.
The author keeps in touch with Yalies to ______.
A. ask them to offer help B. inform them the latest news
C. ask them to join in the concert D. ask them to work for the Red Cross
What does “both events” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. SAS and AASA.
B. The Red Cross at Yale and the American Red Cross.
C. The benefit dinner and the charity concert.
D. Raising funds and providing help.
Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Students were taking an active part in the activity
B. The American Red Cross at Yale raised money for tsunami-ravaged areas by organizing a charity concert
C. Other organizations are working hard to raise funds and provide help to those who need it.
D. The tsunami happened in South America.

When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron (围裙)on her birthday.I wanted my own mom — 21 that apron I'd just given her, of course —to 22 me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked 23 as she waited breathlessly to hear about my 24 day at school.
Mom loved her family without question, but as an elementary-school teacher she had her own exciting days to 25 .She had hardly any extra time and 26 , and home-baked treats were rare in our house except 27 very special occasions.Since Mom didn't make cookies very often, the 28 of her baking were not always the same.Sometimes the cookies were browned a little more than planned or 29 together and other times the cookies weren't smooth. 30 , none of that bothered anyone in the family.All we 31 was swallowing whatever we were having for dinner that night so we could get to the cookies 32 us on the kitchen counter.
Now that I'm a mom myself, I can 33 all too well why my mother didn't always have the time to wear the apron.As was true with my mother, the list of things I need to do is often 34 than the day itself.But I also understand the desire to 35 the same yellow mixing bowl my mother used and make something special for my family every so often.Whatever I bake is met with approval, appreciation and good 36 by my husband and children.At some level, I believe they're 37 that I was thinking about them as I 38 the brown sugar into the butter or frosted the cake with their favorite kind of icing.They always know I love them.I 39 they know it a little better when I'm in a baking mood.
I'm sure my mother felt 40 the same way whenever she made cookies for us.Those cookies will always, in my mind, be the best treat.

“BANG” the door caused a reverberation.“Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father.With tears welling (涌出) up in my eyes,I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space:happy and harmonious.
But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the street,without a destination in my mind.My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets,until I had only streets to keep me company. When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself,“Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact,it was nothing.Perhaps,Dad was throwing some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except Father’s.
Dad was always 1ike this.Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself.After shouting at me,he never showed any mercy or regret. After an argument he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep and then tuck me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. With the key in hand,I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last,I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it is second to none.
