1 . Chen Xiao was a 26-year-old girl and she once worked at Air China. She volunteered as an English teacher in a mountain village this February.

The students didn’t welcome her at first and they showed little interest in English studies. They didn’t hand in their homework and even talked in class. Then, Chen chose four of the noisiest students as English monitors. Soon, her idea worked. By giving the four students more trust and responsibility (责任). Chen found they changed a lot. As time went by, more students began to accept her and took her as their friend.

Chen also tried her best to help her students get closer to their dreams. One of her students, Liao Jie wanted to become an air hostess (空姐) but she was poor in English. Knowing this, Chen encouraged Liao Jie to work hard and helped her with English. Later, Liao worked hard every day and her English improved a lot.

Chen was very glad of it. She said, “I’m excited that my students know that everything is possible and they can get closer to their dreams by working hard.”

6 . It’s always a good thing to have a hobby. For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community.

Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a conversation with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats.

“The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat. He said, ‘That would be great having such a warm hat in icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would you like?’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper.

Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7, 083 hats for students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the student’s favorite color before she begins the project.

What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money.

Along with making hats for the students that will keep them warm, Miss Patty also gets praise for being a trusted friend to the students.

1. What made Miss Patty decide to knit more hats?

A．A drive to Erie County.	B．A show of colorful hats.
C．A letter in the newspaper.	D．A conversation with a boy.

2. Why does Miss Patty knit so many hats in her spare time?

A．To practice her skill.	B．To better her business.
C．To make more friends.	D．To gift students for winter.

3. What makes Miss Patty’s act more moving?

A．She refuses others’ help.

B．She buys materials with her own money.

C．She works during holidays.

D．She knits hats of different colors for kids.

4. Which of the following best describes Miss Patty?

A．Humorous.

B．Honest.

请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题，并把答案写在答题卡对应题目的答题位置上。

A good lunch is necessary for students at school. However, in this country, some families find it hard to afford their kids’ lunches at school.

For that reason, a charity group (慈善组织) called Eat Up gives out free lunches to schools in poor areas. A set of free lunch includes a cheese sandwich and a cup of milk. It can offer enough energy to students and help them work better in class.

“It’s good that students come to school feeling safe. They don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from,” said Mr. Riley, a teacher from a school which gets free lunches. “And we know if they are well fed, they are going to have the energy levels to get through the school day and maximize (最大化) their learning.”

So far, over 3 million sandwiches have been given out in more than 720 schools around the country every week. Thousands of poor students benefit from them.

Eat Up plan to make lunch better by adding more fruits in the near future. They are teaming up with more organizations and companies now.
