1 . I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces. A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well. As she was looking，a little boy came to the Pokemon toys. He was dressed neatly，but his clothes were obviously old. He was with his father as well，and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father，his father shook his head and said，“No.”

The little girl had chosen her Barbie. However，she stopped and was watching them. Rather dejectedly，the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else. The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf，and ran over to the Pokemon toys. She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them. Then，much to the little girl's delight，the little boy and his father got in line behind me. After the toy was paid for and bagged，the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear. The cashier smiled and put the package under the counter.

I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier checked his purchases and said，“Congratulations，you are my hundredth customer today，and you win a prize！” With that，she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys，and he could only stare in surprise. It was exactly what he had wanted!

The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this. Then they walked out. As I walked back to my car，I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I'll never forget what she said to him. “Daddy，didn't Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy？” He said，“Of course they did，honey.” To which the little girl replied，“Well，I just did！”

I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store，in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.

2 . Jakarta, Indonesia (AP)—When a garbage collector came to Ghina Ghaliya’s house in the Indonesian capital and asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to access the Internet, it sparked (引发) an idea for a broader campaign to help students stuck at home by COVID-19.

“He said it does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,” said Ghaliya, a journalist at a national newspaper.

Shortly after COVID-19 hit Indonesia, Ghaliya and 11 other journalists in Jakarta organized a group to provide food and money for people in need. They stared hearing from parents who wanted their children to be able to study online but lacked a way to access the Internet.

Ghaliya and the other journalists decided to shift（转移）their focus to providing mobile phones for underprivileged students, many of whom were still not allowed to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July.

They announced their campaign through social media and the response was strong, with some people donating(捐赠)second-hand units and others giving cash. So far, nearly 300 phones have been distributed to Indonesian students around Jakarta as well as to remote regions like Papua, the country’s most eastern province.

Khaissyah Levi, 16, is a high school student in Depok, who attends online classes in the morning. His father Deny Sayuti had been lending his mobile phone to him for his studies, but that meant Sayuti could only do his work as a motorcycle taxi driver for part of the day, missing out on peak times like the morning rush hour.

Sayuti worte to Ghaliya’s group in August, and his family received a mobile phone a month later. Sayuti believes that his son can now do better with his online studies. “Now I see him more comfortable, and he can directly reach out to his friends and teacher,” Sayuti said.

1. Why did the garbage collector ask Ghaliya for a mobile phone?

A．To play online games.	B．To send a text message.
C．To call police for help.	D．To help his son study online.

2. Which is the closest in meaning to the word “underprivileged” in paragraph 4?

A．Dependent.	B．Desperate.
C．Unfortunate.	D．Unhealthy.

3. What information can we get from the fifth paragraph?

A．People reacted coldly to Ghaliya’s campaign.

B．Papua is a less developed district in Indonesia.

C．Ghaliya’s group advertised a mobile phone brand.

D．Social media was not accepted by the Indonesians.

4. What’s the importance of a mobile phone for Deny Sayuti?

A．He depends on it for online learning.

B．It helps him much in making a living.

C．He contacts his son at school with it.

D．It guides him when traveling abroad.

On my way to the bookstore, I noticed a group of people surrounded two anxious foreigners. I stopped and found that they were tourist from Canada who careless left a very important wallet in a taxi. I accompanied them to the nearest police station and under their help, we got in touch with the taxi company. We told a moment ago a driver had just turned in a wallet and then a policeman drive us to the company without delay. The two Canadians happily claimed their wallet, that contained their passports, flight tickets, some cash or credit cards. They expressed our thanks to me. I feel it is really a great pleasure to help the others.

5 . One minute, Peggy Lewis and her husband were watching the trees blow in the wind outside their home in Eureka, Kansas. Next, they were surrounded by broken glass from the house’s windows. The roof tore off. The walls fell down. After the 152-mph tornado (龙卷风) had passed, it took a team of neighbors to pull the couple out from the ruins and take them to the hospital.

When the couple returned to their home three days after that awful night, Lewis wanted one thing — her family Bible. Lewis bought the Bible 35 years ago, at the start of her marriage. She’d used it to hold her family’s old photos, newspaper obituaries (讣告) of loved ones, a handkerchief from her great-grandmother and so on.

The Bible wasn’t where she’d last seen it, on top of an old dresser in her bedroom. Then two volunteers showed up to help the couple dig out. After an hour of searching, one volunteer found the Bible while cleaning through the little stones. It had flown approximately ten feet from that unlucky dresser. Surprisingly, while many books inside the house had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact (完好的), even though it had sat in the rain for days. A few of the Bible’s treasures did go missing. But ever so slowly, they began reappearing in Lewis’s life. Days after the Bible was found, volunteers discovered one of the newspaper obituaries outside the house. Two weeks later, a neighbor found another piece of newspaper sticking to her fence. “It was such a shock,” said Lewis.

Lewis and her family are living at a friend’s house until they get back on their feet. But the Bible already has its well-deserved place of honor, on Lewis’s borrowed dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of extremely bad weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.

1. Why was the Bible so valuable to Lewis?

A．It’s a book published 35 years ago.

B．It’s a witness of her family’s history.

C．It’s the wedding gift from her husband.

D．It’s the first thing she bought for her family.

2. How were the Bible and its treasures found?

A．Volunteers found them outside the house.

B．Lewis found them when cleaning up the ruins.

C．They were found when floating near the old dresser.

D．Lewis’ neighbor and some volunteers discovered them.

3. What does the underlined sentence “this one actually lived it” in the last paragraph mean?

A．This book was of high quality.

B．This book survived the tornado.

C．This book was worthy of being read.

D．This book told the stories about tornado.

4. In which part of a magazine can you find the article?

A．History and art.	B．Financial observation.
C．Everyday wonders.	D．Science and technology.

9 . When I was younger, I was addicted to reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter. From fairy-tales to thrillers, non-fiction to plays, I enjoyed reading any literature that I could get my hands on.

However, while there are many books for younger children,once you reach your mid-teens the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple and not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn’t quite understand.

This lack of choice eventually led me to read less and less.When I was in secondary school,the only books I read were ones we were assigned in English class,and I was never very enthusiastic about my teacher’s choices.I thought too much discussion of symbolism and themes ruined the book.Maybe the sky being blue didn’t represent anything;maybe it was just a description!

Fortunately, I realized quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module in my first year. I started out, thinking I wouldn’t enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year.However,I soon realized that at a university level,the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say!And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the subtle aspects of the plot:yes,even the symbolism and themes.

I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X’s autobiography and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad,I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and reading in cafes. I’m so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.

1. What does the author intend to say in Paragraph 1?

A．She used to stay up late at night.	B．She read very fast as a young girl.
C．She loved reading very much in her childhood.	D．She once bought many different kinds of books.

2. Why did the author read less when she was a teenager?

A．She was really tired of reading books.	B．She was too busy with her schoolwork.
C．She had no right to choose books herself.	D．She found very few suitable books to read.

3. What made the author start reading for pleasure again?

A．Her reading experiences at university.	B．Her professor of French literature.
C．A special bookstore abroad.	D．A book by Malcolm X.

4. What’s the text mainly about?

A．The importance of discussing a book’s theme.	B．The process of the author picking up reading.
C．The ways to form good reading habits.	D．The author’s desire to read widely.

10 . One day, I took my daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a(n) _______ man in the hotel business. We sat down to _______ in an open air cafe.

Suddenly our conversation was interrupted (中断) by a man. I’m a TV show host. I thought he wanted to _______ my controversial (有争议的) TV shows with me. He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s _______. The doctors said if she was _______ in the UK, she would probably _______. But it isn’t _______ for me to do that, so can you please help me?” After we talked for a few _______, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me _______, “what’s wrong with you? Your face changed.” I told him. JoJo was very sorry for the man. Later we ________ the cafe and went to our own destination (目的地).

All weekend I thought about James and his ________. I even considered doing a special TV show to ________ money for them.

On Monday morning I was at the office, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. Actually JoJo is so ________ with his hotel business that I ________ imagined he had time to come and see me here. “Please, call that man and ________ him I’ll pay all the money for his daughter’s treatment,” JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t ________ enough to have a child. I want to ________ this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James ________.
