W: OK, great. The next meeting isn’t for another two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.

【题目】For many years, our next-door neighbor's house was a terrible mess. It would be impossible to describe the awful smells of her house. The health department came and shut down an illegal puppy mill (幼犬繁育场) in the house a few years ago.

The house was sold for a rather high price because of the good location of the neighborhood. My husband and I looked into the house at that time and were upset by the scene: black mold (霉菌) growing on the walls; cigarette ends all over the floor; the wall between the garage and the living room completely destroyed by water damage. We couldn't spend more than one second in the house before running away.

We thought that it would be a teardown, but the new owners set about cleaning the inside. They worked for months making it safe and livable. After everything was clean and tidy, the owners decided to resell the house for a higher price.

Yesterday while I was out in my yard, a potential (潜在的) buyer pulled up and asked me what I could tell her about the history of the house. I just said that I didn't know anything.

What is my ethical obligation (道德义务) in this situation? It's possible that they have removed all the awful smells, dangerous mold and that the house is safe and livable. But it's also possible that they have just structurally fixed the house and that some unsafe mold will take root in the future. I wouldn't personally live there knowing what I know. But really, it's none of my business, and given the choice, I wouldn't talk to anyone about what I know. While it feels like a lie not to answer a direct question, I also feel that it's not my place to potentially ruin the seller's business deal. If I am asked again, what should I say?

1What can be learned about the author's neighborhood?

A. It's nice. B. It's noisy.

C. It's wealthy. D. It's crowded.

2Why did the new owners give the house a thorough cleaning?

A. To move into it.

B. To please the neighbors.

C. To get it ready for resale.

D. To make it match the surrounding area.

3How did the author feel after saying she knew nothing about the house's history?

A. Sad. B. Troubled. C. Relaxed. D. Proud.

4Why does the author write the text?

A. To offer help. B. To ask for advice.

C. To make a complaint. D. To give an explanation.

【题目】A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking.

“Some nights I’m up until I am making pies, or even later if we’re braising () beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.

Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity (慈善).

“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小物件),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities (社区) to cook and make healthy eating choices.

The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 (10,600 yuan) to the charity.

Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.

Without formal (正规的) training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.

1How is Lanster’s life different from other teenagers’ lives?

A. He stays up late to finish homework.

B. He plays baseball every day after school.

C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.

D. He holds dinner parties to collect money for charity.

2After each dinner party, Lanster and Moran ______.

A. receive thank-you cards from the guests

B. cover the food costs with the money they have collected

C. ask their guests to donate money to charity

D. visit the poor children at Common Threads

3Which of the following about Lanster and Moran is TRUE?

A. They received formal cooking training before starting their dinner parties.

B. They hate going to school and trying to do something different.

C. They’ve made up their minds to become professional chefs.

D. Their way of giving to charity is different from others.

4Which of the following words best describe Lanster and Moran?

A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and optimistic.

C. Outgoing and patient. D. Confident and cautious.
