(give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “For the first time I feel respected”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is even 6. (hard) today. That’s why I want to help them.” They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer 7. some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them 8. a look of surprise.
“I know the 9. (active) can’t help much, but it’s meant 10. (show) our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group.

Nowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non?specific but stable change. For many people, the high?tech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.
In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.
However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast?growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?
The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don' t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.
How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable to drought, poor soil and crop viruses.
1.The passage mainly talks about________.
A. the world's food problem
B. the development in biotech
C. the genetically modified foods
D. the way to solve food shortages
2.According to the passage, GM foods________.
A. will replace naturally grown foods
B. are far better than naturally grown foods
C. may help to solve the problem of poor nutrition
D. can cause serious trouble in developing countries
3.The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.” in Paragraph 2 probably means that________.
A. GM foods are available everywhere
B. the technology in producing GM foods is advanced
C. genetic technology may have uncontrollable powers
D. genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets
4.What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Cautious.
C. Disapproving. D. Unbelievable.

The UN weather agency warned on Tuesday there was a good chance of an "El Nino" climate phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean this year, bringing droughts（干旱） and heavy rainfall to the rest of the world.
The World Meteorological (气象的) Organization (WMO) said its modeling suggested a "fairly large potential for an El Nino, most likely by the end of the second quarter of 2016".
The El Nino phenomenon occurs every two to seven years, when the trade winds that circulate surface water in the tropical (熟带的) Pacific start to weaken.
WMO pointed out Tuesday that since last December, trade winds had weakened and there had been a significant warming of the waters below the surface in the central Pacific.
“While there is no guarantee this situation will lead to an El Nino event, the longer the trade winds remain weakened, and subsurface temperatures stay significantly warmer than average, the higher chances are," it said.
Two thirds of climate models predicted that the phenomenon would begin sometime between June and August, with one-fifth suggesting it could start as early as May, and the remaining predicting no El Nino this year, it said.
It is often followed by a return swing of La Nina, which is characterized by unusually cool ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific.
"El Nino has an important warming effect on global average temperatures," Jarraud cautioned, stressing that combined with warming from greenhouse gases such events had "the potential to cause a sharp rise in global average temperature".
1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that -'
A. a weather agency warned an "El Nino" would appear on Tuesday
B. WMO showed an El Nino would probably happen by June in 2016
C. an El Nino would bring heavy rainfall to the Pacific Ocean
D. The phenomenon of El Nino happens every seven years
2.What does the underlined phrase "this situation" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cool ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific.
B. A significant warming of the waters below the surface in the central Pacific.
C. Trade winds that circulate surface water in the Pacific.
D. Heavy rainfall in different areas all over the world.
3.According to the text, what might be the percentage of no "El Nino" this year?
A.13%. B.20%. C.67%. D.87%.

Forty years ago, Finland was a small country with mediocre（普通）public schools. Today, Finland is still small but no one calls Finland’s public schools mediocre any more.
In 2000, the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA. Finland has stayed near the top ever since, while the U.S. scores around the middle.
Pasi Sahlberg, an official with Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland’s success, and what states like Washington can learn from it.
Sahlberg’s message, although he is too polite to put it so bluntly（坦率）: Stop testing so much, trust teachers more; give less homework; shorten the school day.
On Tuesday, in a room filled with teachers, principals, professors, school-board members and policy makers, Sahlberg joked about the Finns’ reputation（名声） for being a quiet, humble people. “When Finland hit the top of the PISA,” he said, “the biggest disbelievers were Finns.”
More seriously, Finland never set out to create the world’s top school system. Instead, he said, the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student’s success didn’t depend on family background.
“Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools, rather than on competition. Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores,” he said, “Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals. Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland, and design their own tests. There are no national tests, except one at the end of high school.”
That’s just the start. Along with a shorter school day, Finnish students don’t even start school until they are 7 years old. Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework.
“But Finland,”he said,“succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U.S. and other countries. And those countries, ”he said, “can learn from Finland, too.”
1.What might be the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce a Finnish official.
B. To compare the education systems of Finland and the US.
C. To share the story of Finland’s success in education.
D. To ask the US to improve its education.
2.People first learned Finland’s success in education from_____.
A. its students’ performance in an international exam.
B. its international exchange programs.
C. lectures given by Pasi Sahlberg.
D. its small-sized public schools.
3.Which of the following can contribute to Finland’s success in education?
a. Giving students fewer tests.
b. Giving teachers more trust.
c. Evaluating students’ family backgrounds.
d. Creating the world’s top school system.
e. Starting school late.
A. a,b,c B. c,d,e C. a,b,e D. b,c,d
4.What Pasi Sahlerg said in Paragraph 7 suggested that ______.
A. children should start school as early as possible.
B. competition among teachers might be harmful to education.
C. the US education system is still the most advanced.
D. it’s necessary to set up a national curriculum.
