On Sunday afternoon, I am reading my favorite book when the doorbell rang. It was a package delivering to Mum. After thanking the courier(快递员), I helped Mum carrying it in. Mum asked me to leave the work to Dad. But I decided to do it myself. Immediately, I opened the package, inside what there were some wooden boards, iron parts, and an instruction manual.

Had read the manual carefully, I began to work. With a screwdriver(螺丝刀), I fixed the frame first, and then put the boards on it piece by piece. After two hour of hard work, a lovely flower shelf appeared at front of my eyes. Mum and I were both pleased and we started putting the potted plants onto them.

When Dad came back, hearing it was I who had assembled the flower shelf, and he gave me a thumbs-up with a broadly smile. At that moment, my feeling of content and pride was beyond description.

9 . We’ve all had cases where we’ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or   speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption，who goes by “Dave”，recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.

In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown，so he put the return address as “Wayward Road，Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”.

When the officers opened the envelope，they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read，“Dear PD，I've been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect，Dave.”

Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent，or $3, in interest.

Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.

Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then，“Dave” could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently，guilt got the best of him，and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.

1. How much do we know about “Dave”？

A．He lives in Wayward Road，Anytown California.

B．His car probably came from Ohio at that time.

C．The police are trying to find out more about him.

D．“Dave” is of course the man’s real name indeed.

2. Why didn’t “Dave” pay for the parking ticket until recently?

A．He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years.

B．He didn’t find it until almost half a century later.

C．He didn’t pay for it just because of procrastination.

D．He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.

3. What drove “Dave” to pay for the parking ticket at last?

A．A strong sense of guilt.

B．Fear of being tracked by the police.

C．Worry about being fined more.

D．Sudden change of his financial situation.

4. Which of the following can be the best title?

A．Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a Story

B．Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio

C．Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown California

D．Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking Ticket

10 . In her 17 years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.

Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.

NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”

As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.

As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.

1. What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph?

A．Its main aim is to make money.	B．It offers people cheap supplies.
C．It takes in all homeless people.	D．It is a charity organization.

2. What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US?

A．Her parents’ constant suggestion.	B．The memory of her hard childhood.
C．Her experience of helping a hungry man.	D．Volunteers’ great influence on her.

3. Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter?

A．She held a grand party for many people.

B．She could receive many nice gifts there.

C．She got much personal satisfaction from it.

D．She saw helping others as part of her life.

4. Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat?

A．Caring.	B．Ambitious.
C．Humorous.	D．Demanding.
