1.The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition - and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "Thank you" and she died.
  I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more - she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for", he said at the end . And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel - this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
  And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

6.Don"t believe all of the stereotypes (模式化管理) you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population. For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cul-tures(especially at athletic events), many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite. Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming. Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸張)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like. Therefore, tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
  Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name. However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated. If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.
  However, some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform. or a suit. It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview. Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and tie. Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera, theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events. Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religious event. If you rely on the stereotypes, you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation

The underlined sentence probably means_____.

A．Some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true
B．You should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans
C．None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed
D．None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed

7.
The passage is probably written for______.

A．businessmen
B．visitors to America
C．American students
D．American film-makers

8.
The second paragraph suggests that______.

A．most Americans are polite
B．people who are polite are welcome
C．casual clothing makes others uncomfortable
D．American students are impolite to their teachers

9.
We can learn from the passage that______.

A．American films are mostly poor comedies
B．it is good manners to wear blue jeans to a wedding
C．Americans usually wear formal clothes in a theater
D．to dress formally makes others feel you are not easy to get on with

11.Organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over ordinary food, according to a major study.
  Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said consumers were paying higher prices for organic food because of its imagined health benefits, creating a global organic market worth an estimated $48 billion in 2007.
  A systematic review of 162 scientific papers published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years, however, found there was no significant difference.
  "A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally (通常) produced foodstuffs, but these have nothing to do with public health, " said Alan Dangour, one of the report"s authors.
  "Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority . "
  The results of research, which was commissioned by the British government"s Food Standards Agency, were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
  Sales of organic food have fallen in some markets, including Britain, as a slowdown in economic growth has led consumers to cut back on purchases.
  The Soil Association said that growth in sales of organic products in Britain slowed to just 1.7percent, well below the average annual growth rate of 26 percent over the last decade.

Why does organic food cost more than conventionally produced food?

A．Because people think they are much healthier.
B．Because they are more delicious.
C．Because people prefer organic food.
D．Because they sell better.

21.Should struggling students be banned from clubs and sports?
  Getting a bad grade in Rockingham, Vt. could get you kicked off the team! School officials there are considering new guidelines that would prevent students with bad grades from participating in extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs. The proposal would affect students in eighth grade and below.
  School board member Mike says the policy would motivate students to work harder in school. He drafted a letter to coaches, parents, and after-school program leaders to encourage them to allow only kids who are meeting certain academic standards into their program.
  Not everyone gives such policy an A+. Some people argue that no student should be excluded from after-school activities. They say taking part in extracurricular activities can help kids do better in class by improving their participation and concentration skills. They say a 2009 study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that time spent in extracurricular physical activities does not take away from students" ability to do well in the classroom . In fact, it may even help boost girls" academic performance.
  Students themselves have different opinions.
  SCHOOL COMES FIRST
  Why not require good grades to participate in those activities?
  Kids need to understand that grades are important. School comes first, period. Getting good
grades help you with life, help you go to college, get a job, and so on. Banning underachieving students from extracurricular activities not only gives them motivation to get their grades up, but allows more time to study or get help from a tutor.
  DON" T BAN STUDENTS
  Every student should be able to participate in extracurricular activities, no matter what his or her grades are. Extracurricular activities can help kids concentrate more on doing homework. They can help kids develop mentally and physically.
  A school policy that tells kids with bad grades that they can"t be in sports or the school play is like judging a book by its cover. Every student is unique. A kid may have a learning disability, an attention issue, or a difficult time studying in his or her home environment. His or her teachers should find why the student is struggling. Together they should find out a solution that will keep the student in the activity.

Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "excluded"?

A．protected
B．approved
C．blamed
D．banned

22.
What"s the author"s attitude to the policy that prevents students with bad grades from participating in extracurricular activities?

A．supportive
B．critical
C．neutral
D．indifferent

23.
In the second paragraph "a 2009 study…"is used by the critics to______.

A．To indicate the author is against the policy.
B．To emphasize there is no need to ban the students with bad grades to take part in extracurricular activities.
C．To suggest girls can benefit from extracurricular activities.
D．To prove grades have nothing to do with extracurricular activities.

24.
Some don"t think the policy is reasonable for the following reasons EXCEPT______.

A．Every kid is unique.
B．Extracurricular activities will benefit students mentally and physically.
C．Grades will help students get a job.
D．One can learn more that can"t be learned in class.
