8 . Harold Jones, a 100-year-old man, has been walking up to 40 circles every day in his garden since the beginning of 2020. At first, he just walked for exercise. Now, Jones, who uses a walker, is using his circles to help others.

With an early target of raising £1,000, which seemed a lot to Jones when he began, he soon collected more than that. He has raised over £43,000 for charity. The old man held on, and walked 41,550 circles around the back of his home.

Jones walks in all weather, but he does fewer circles in the rain. He does 20 circles after breakfast and then does 20 more circles after lunch.

He thanks his long years in the service for his fitness. “The training for the army set up the ability to suffer because we suffered a lot in the army. Determination and resilience (韧性)are something you’re taught in the army,” Jones said.

Jones was inspired by the efforts of Captain Sir Tom Moore who raised funds for the National Health Service during the pandemic. Moore, a 99-year-old, walked with the help of a walker in the garden, and raised an amazing £17 million.

Jones said that although he began walking just for exercise, he saw what Moore completed and that gave him the idea to raise funds for charity. Jones didn’t expect to walk a greater distance than the captain, but he did.

When Jones reached his early target, he just kept going. He had no idea how many people would respond to his efforts as when he reached £10,000, a friend doubled it.

Jones received a Points of Light award after the charity recommended him and Jones said that he was amazed by the recognition. But giving service to others plays the largest role in his faith and in his life. This was a well-deserved (值得的)honor for a remarkable man.

1. What does Jones think of his early army experience?

A．It has brought him great honor.	B．It has changed his life completely.
C．It has benefited his life in old age.	D．It has enabled him to make good friends.

2. What made Jones start to do charity?

A．His concern for the elderly.	B．Tom Moore’s suggestion.
C．His competitive character.	D．Another old soldier’s behavior.

3. Which may be Jones’ favorite thing to do?

A．Doing good for others.	B．Trying to get recognition.
C．Taking physical exercise.	D．Leading people to serve others.

4. Which words can best describe Jones?

A．Inspiring and brave.	B．Curious and honest.
C．Determined and caring.	D．Patient and proud.

9 . For the first 19 months of her life, Helen Keller was like other pretty happy babies in every way. Then in 1882, a sudden illness destroyed her sight and hearing. Because she could not hear what other people were saying, the child could not learn to speak. For the following 5 years, she lived in a world of darkness, without sounds or words and her parents could do nothing but let her be.

The person who changed Helen’s world was her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who entered her life. Miss Sullivan had accepted a job, which seemed impossible. She had agreed to teach a blind child who had never learned to act like a human being, because no one had ever been able to guide her in any way. No one could control Helen. She acted like a young animal, rushing wildly around, throwing things, and hitting anyone whom she could reach. Who could believe that such a child could be taught?

But Anne Sullivan was a very special kind of teacher. She had been blind during part of her own childhood and had learned to read Braille, a system of writing that uses raised dots which can be felt by the finger of a blind person. She had learned to see again after several operations, but she had never forgotten the experience of being blind.

Miss Sullivan understood Helen. She loved her and believed she could teach her.

Anne Sullivan could not teach Helen Keller to speak until some other important things had been learned. The little girl had to learn to control her actions and feelings. She had to learn that she could not always do what she wished to do. She had always been able to get what she wished by using force. The teacher had to change such habits without breaking the child’s spirit.

Miss Sullivan’s battle began. Sometimes, there was real fighting between the wild child and the strong young teacher. At last, however, the battle was won by Miss Sullivan, who had succeeded in showing Helen that she loved her and wanted to help her. The child and her teacher became friends. They continued to be friends until the teacher’s death, 50 years later.

The day on which Helen finally accepted Miss Sullivan as her friend and teacher was a great day in Helen’s life. After that the teacher could begin to teach the child language.

1. Helen became blind and deaf after ________.

A．an unexpected accident	B．a football match
C．a sudden disease	D．fighting with her teacher

2. Sullivan probably passed away in ________.

A．1917

B．1932

C．1937

D．1939

3. To begin with, she taught Helen ________.

C．to copy some letters	D．to make different sounds

4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Sullivan learned the Braille when she was blind as a child.

B．Blind as Sullivan was, he accepted the challenge to teach Helen.

C．At first Sullivan and Helen often fought each other.

D．Sullivan died when she was fifty years old.

THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE

ACT 1, SCENE3

Narrator: Two rich brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million­pound bank note a man could live a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. They see a poor young man walking outside their house. It is Henry Adams.

Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?

Henry: Who? Me, sir?

Roderick: Yes, you.

Servant: (opening a door) Good morning, sir. Would you please come in?

(Henry enters the house.)

Roderick: How do you do, Mr...er...?

Henry: Adams. Henry Adams.

Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr. Adams.

Henry: Thank you.

Roderick: You’re an American?

Henry: That’s right, from San Francisco.

Roderick: May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plans are?

Henry: Well, I can’t say that I have any plans. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident.

Oliver: How is that possible?

Henry: Well, I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing, and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. The next morning I was spotted by a ship.

Oliver: And it was the ship that brought you to England.

Henry: Yes. I went to the American consulate to seek help, but...Anyway, I didn’t dare to try again. (The brothers smile at each other.)

Roderick: Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.

Henry: I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.

Roderick: Tell us, what sort of work did you do in America?

Henry: I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me work here?

Roderick: Patience. If you don’t mind, may I ask you how much money you have?

Henry: Well, to be honest, I have none.

Oliver: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!

Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. Now if you’ll excuse me, I ought to be on my way.

Roderick: Please don’t go. You mustn’t think we don’t care about you, Oliver, give him the letter.

Oliver: Yer, I was about to go get the letter.

Wait！(getting it from a desk and giving it to Henry) The letter.

Henry: (taking it carefully) For me?

Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it.) Oh, no, you’d better not open it. You can’t open it until two o’clock.

Henry: Oh, this is silly.

Roderick: Not silly. There’s money in it.

Henry: Oh, no. I don’t want your charity. I just want a job that earns an honest income.

Roderick: We know you’re hard­working. That’s why we’ve given you the letter. (to the servant) Show Mr. Adams out.

Henry: Well, why don’t you explain what this is all about?

Roderick: You’ll soon know. In exactly an hour and a half.

Servant: This way, sir.

Roderick: Not until 2 o’clock. Promise?

Henry: Promise. Goodbye.
