It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back, but it was a _________which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving, and I was _________ with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We were standing behind the counter _________ hot food to whoever came in. Most of our _________ looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. _________ , they looked needy! Then, a man came in, who looked _________ but needy. He was well-dressed, in a(n) _________ suit. I wondered what he was doing there, and my jaw (下巴) dropped in _________ when he joined the line for _________ . The closer he came to my _________ station, the more I muttered (嘀咕) to my self. What was this man doing? I wanted to know. Surely he wasn’t going to take food _________ for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have _________ that the needs of the people who come here must be purely _________ : for food, shelter, clothing, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems. _________ what if his needs are emotional? What if he needs _________, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt I should _________ to the man — but I didn’t.
About a week later the shelter received a large _________ from an anonymous(匿名的) source. I couldn’t help but _________ if it came from that man.

Today’s modern life discourages people from taking time to prepare their own meals. Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining. It takes a little extra effort and time to cook your own food, but it’s a worthwhile pursuit(追求)that can benefit your health, wallet and family.
People across the country are waking up to the fact that the food offered by most fast food restaurants isn’t particularly healthy. While these restaurants have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus, it’s still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients(配料) and personal care.
Nutritionists who study what is called “the French paradox”--- meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of “unhealthy” ingredients such as butter---partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients. Taking time to eat at a leisurely pace also helps you get better nutrition and you are less likely to pack on the pounds.
Even a quick meal will usually cost at least five dollars per person at a restaurant. Compare this to the amount of pasta, vegetables or meat available for the same money at your home, and it quickly becomes apparent that the cost of eating out adds up.
Experimenting with new ingredients or foreign recipes will encourage children to try new foods and learn about dishes from around the world. Many couples also find that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience equal to dinner in a classy, low-lit restaurant. Make sure to spend meal times talking and sharing events from the day and you may find it’s a great way to get to know your family better.
1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Fast food does great harm to people.
B. More people prefer dining out today.
C. There’re different reasons for dining out.
D. Many people still approve of cooking at home.
2.The underlined phrase “ a far cry from” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “__________”.
A. different from B. absent from
C. equal to D. superior to
3.Why is “the French paradox” referred to in the passage?
A. To show the French diet is fairly delicious.
B. To illustrate the French have a healthy diet.
C. To stress the importance of using fresh food ingredients.
D. To prove the French diet makes people fat easily.
4. What advantage of cooking at home does the last paragraph talk about?
A. Strengthen family bonds.
B. Save your money up.
C. Expose you to foreign cultures.
D. Get children educated better.

Dear editor,
I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic. Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some advices.
For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For other, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, that can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is what the number of private cars should be put under the control. Meanwhile, buses should have its own special routes which cannot be using by other vehicles. Therefore, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.
I do hope my suggestions will be taken.
Yours,

Instagram is containing so many photos of food — now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's ‘Food for Life' campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers paid by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.
1.Instagram probably is ________.
A.a restaurant free of charge
B.a program used to share photos
C.a new marketing project
D.a campaign of “Food for Life”
2.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to ________.
A.create a new social media trend
B.raise the price of frozen food
C.attract more customers
D.reward the regular customers
3.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A.No Need to PayB.The Pop-up Diner
C.Food for LifeD.Pay by Picture

There have always been laws against copying other people’s ideas. However, when copying was only limited to copying something by hand, problems were solved easily. The solution was always the destruction or removal of the copy. Nowadays, the rise of the Internet has made the issue of intellectual property (知识产权) more complicated.
Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘贴) with a few clicks of a mouse. Many art forms such as writings, films, and music need new protection to ensure that people do not simply transfer them for free. Online illegal copying has been blamed for a huge reduction in the sales of many records because it is hard to convince people to buy something that they can get for free. Even the ideas behind traditional games, such as Scrabble, have been used without the owners’ permission.
Old laws have been struggling to keep up. While music companies have been successful in persuading courts that action should be taken against people who illegally download music, the law is difficult to carry out. Furthermore, intellectual property rights vary widely from country to country, so it’s up for debate which laws apply. Finally, there is the fact that many people simply do not see the act as theft(盗窃), since once the work has been digitized there is no clear physical object to steal in the first place.
All of these issues mean that companies involved with intellectual property — ideas or easily digitized information — are fighting desperately to get people to pay for the information they use, rather than paying for an object like a CD that they use. While the companies have sometimes been successful, the practical barriers to full protection seem insurmountable.
Finally, all that concerned parties can do is hope that their few successes scare off others and try to find new ways of making money.
1.Why do writings, films, and music need protection?
A. They are very expensive.
B. They are impossible to copy.
C. It is easy to make CDs, books, and movies.
D. They are easily able to be transferred when in digital form.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of carrying out intellectual property rights?
A. Laws are not the same in all countries.
B. People do not see copying information as theft.
C. It is very hard to catch people who are breaking the law.
D. Internet service providers do not want to cooperate with the police.
3.The underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A. extremely expensive B. impossible to overcome
C. against the law D. hard to prove
4.What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Music and films will be unnecessary in the future.
B. New laws are necessary but difficult to put into practice.
C. The Internet is likely to become more important in the future.
D. Laws are just a way for greedy companies to control their products.
