          I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes
    in France. The idea is simple,but revolutionary-combining a residential home for the elderly
    with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together
    and share activities. In the afternoons,the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the
    children,and if a child is feeling sad or tired,there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle.
    There are trips out and birthday parties,too.
          The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because
    they get a lot more individual attention,and respond well because someone has time for
    them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because
    they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the
    children are around and they take more interest in their appearance,too.
         Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many
    reasons for this,including the breakdown of the extended family,working parents with no
    time to care for ageing relations,families that have moved away,and smaller flats with no
    room for grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without
    grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people
    who are lonely and feel useless,along with more and more families with young children
    who desperately need more support. It's a major problem in many societies.
         That's why intergenerational_programmes,designed to bring the old and the young
    together,are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful
    attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one
    obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another,perhaps
    reading with children who need extra attention.

         [1] I was walking in the park with a friend recently,and his cell phone rang,interrupting our
    conversation.There we were,walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day.But I became invisible,absent
    from the conversation.
         [2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you  feel
    absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear
    the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were,four friends going down the highway,unable

         I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking
    somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in
    touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was
    a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare
    trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
         I could see no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might
    find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.
         Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden
    from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed
    a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that
    there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber
    boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against
    the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and
    surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw
    the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.

    B. he didn't expect it to be taken up
    C. the man had his back with him
    D. the man did not seem to be moving

    B. the man didn't notice his coming
    C. he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself down
    D. it was not safe to be close to the box
    5. What do you suppose happened to the man in the call box?
    A. He slept.                              
    B. He was too fat to move around.
    C. He was lost in his important phone call.    
    D. He had most probably been killed.

         I asked Jackie a lot of questions. I asked if she became close to her patients. She said, "Some I do,
    especially if I have become their close friends and they tell me things they wouldn't tell anyone else. I've
    found it harder for the patient's family to accept what's happening. In most cases, the dying person has
    accepted the truth."
         I asked her how she could do this work for so long. She said,"I have taken care of 3,000people over
    37years. I consider dying to be a very important part of life. I feel good because I can make these people's
    journey easier."
          Jackie was the mother I have never had. My own mother, Helen, was taken away from me right after

         But at the hospice (临终安养院), nurse Jackie gave me hope, love and encouragement. She listened to
    all my stories, and I listened to hers. It was a comfort. The nurses had told my family that death was
    coming near. As time went on, I became the star patient at the hospice, because I didn't go according to
    plans. My kidneys started working again and could function without dialysis (透析). It was a mystery to
    my doctors. My friends said It was a miracle. But I knew what actually cured me.
         The employees showed me off to other patients and being the ham I was, I enjoyed.

    阅读理解。
         I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's
    for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I'll never
    forget.
         I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from?
    Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock (货物) and the stock that people buy all
    the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they
    couldn't sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in
    specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced
    by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in"seconds? (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and
    they are sold very cheaply.
         When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around
    three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
          When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual,
    came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for
    protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a
    battlefield! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
         Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted.
    Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl (爬行) through people's legs and get
    hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
         Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first
    served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my
    temper (脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were
    happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
         In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what
    they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
         You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and
    went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of
    the sale.
    1. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.
    B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
    C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people's legs.
    D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
    2. In the author's opinion, why were Graham's happy to make their expensive store into"Battlefield?
    A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
    B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
    C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
    D. They wanted to make more money by having sales.
    3. The expression "crashed out" means _______.
    A. chatted with her friends
    B. slept soundly
    C. broke down
    D. dined out
    4. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The Best Bargain.
    B. Hunting for a job.
    C. Sale Fever.
    D. A Pleasant Fortnight.

         "I swear, I didn't steal anything!" I shouted over the alarm. Obviously the security guard didn't believe me
    because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand.
         "Do you have a receipt for this?" he asked doubtfully, putting any new back-to-school outfit (全套设备)
    onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance.
         "Of course I do," I replied, fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket. Elsie and Monica, my two best friends,
    stood beside me. They were laughing their heads off!
         I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt, but it had disappeared. "Let me look again," I said nervously.
    Then I looked again, and again, and again! My face was getting butter by the minute, and my heart was beating
    like a racehorse.
         Finally, I looked back at the guard and whispered, "It's not here." The guard picked up my clothes and said,
    "You'll have to come with me, Miss."
         When he opened the office door, I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk. It was the manager. Then I
    had an idea.
         "May I say something?" I asked. "I can prove I didn't steal this thing." "Then I explained all about the
    cashier (出纳员). She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister."
    "We'll just see about that," the manager said and went off to find her. Ten minutes later, I was free!
         It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something! Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very
    morning for taking my new hair clips.
         Had she really taken them? I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without
    proof, and I haven't. At last something good came out of my terrible experience.
    1. Why didn't the security guard believe the author?
    [     ]
    A. Because she looked nervous at that time.
    B. Because she had no money in her wallet.
    C. Because she didn't have a receipt for the outfit.
    D. Because her face turned red after being caught.
    2. That the author's two friends laughed their heads off showed _____.
    [     ]
    A. they didn't believe the author
    B. they laughed at the author who stole things.
    C. they expected the author to be caught.
    D. they played a trick on the author.
    3. We can infer the author was very _____ from the underlined part in Paragraph 4.
    [     ]
    A. careful
    B. nervous
    C. frightened
    D. excited
    4. Who proved that the author hadn't stolen anything?
    [     ]
    A. The manager.
    B. The cashier.
    C. The author's friends
    D. The security guard.
    5. From her experience, the author learned that _____.
    [     ]
    A. you should believe in yourself in face of difficulty
    B. it is a terrible thing to be suspected by friends
    C. you should ask for a receipt for whatever you buy
    D. you should not doubt others if you can't prove it
