Brian knew he had been drinking more and more, but he was convinced that he'd return to more moderate drinking when he wasn't so pressured at work, and that "a few too many drinks now and then" wasn't a major problem.

"My wife and father were on me to stop drinking, but you know how critical and protective family can be," said Brian. "So I blew them off."

It wasn't until his friend Jack spoke up that Brian started to think differently. "That really hit home, because I wouldn’t expect a friend to confront me with something that personal unless it was very important," said Brian. "Jack said he was really concerned about me. He pointed out that my personality changed after I had a few beers--that I became belligerent(寻衅的). For a normally easy-going guy, that was a dramatic change in behavior."

Jack could see that Brian's numerous drinking binges(放纵) were causing problems. Brian was frequently calling into work sick and falling behind in his work, and his marriage was seriously on the ropes. Brian was teetering(摇摇欲坠) on the edge of disaster. "I didn't want to see a good life and a good friendship ruined," said Jack, "so I approached Brian, shared my honest observations with him, and suggested that he seek help."

After a couple days of soul searching, though still reluctant, Brian took Jack's suggestion and was assessed by an addiction professional. The expert recommended that Brian check into a treatment center, and one day later Brian did so.

Many people fear taking the path that Jack took. Speaking up to a friend who may have a problem with alcohol or other drugs can be a tricky undertaking.

Yet it's true that a concerned friend can do a lot. Most people don't recognize they have a substance abuse problem and most don't seek help for a problem until someone close to them intervenes(干预).

1.What happened to Brian according to the passage?

A. He suffered from an illness called alcohol addiction.

B. He changed so much that he was deserted by his family.

C. He became morally corrupted drinking too much all day.

D. He drank a little more than normal to escape the pressure.

2.What does “that” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

A. Brian’s drinking binges. B. Jack’s talk with Brian.

C. Wife and father’s intervention. D. Brian’s different thoughts.

3. Brian could accept Jack’s suggestions mainly because ____________.

A. he found his friend was very critical and protective

B. Jack’s suggestions were professional and persuasive

C. Jack and Brian’s family had different opinions

D. he knew his friend wouldn’t easily intervene his personal affair

4. Brian’s alcohol abuse brought him many problems EXCEPT ____________.

A. his refusal to listen to his family B. his bad temper and aggressiveness

C. his failure to do his work well D. his marriage problems

5. The writer narrates Brian’s story in order to ____________.

A. tell us the bad results of alcohol addiction

B. warn us not to fall into the habit of drinking

C. show friends have real power to intervene

D. prove a friend in need is a friend indeed

（湖南省长沙市一中2010届高三第九次月考C篇）

Group of British charities has teamed up with British film actor Bill Nighy and producer Richard Curtis to campaign for what they call a "new deal between banks and society." They want to put a 0.05 percent tax on financial transactions between banks that don't involve the public in order to raise money for social services and to fight poverty and climate change. The run on the British bank Northern Rock in September 2007 marked the beginning of the world banking crisis in Britain. In the end, the British and other governments spent hundreds of millions of dollars bailing out troubled financial institutions.

Now a group of charities and celebrities has launched a campaign to get some of the money back. They call it the Robin Hood Tax after the legendary English folk hero who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Max Lawsom is with the humanitarian advocacy group Oxfam. "Basically, trillions of dollars change hands every day between the banks. What we're saying is we could take a tiny slice of that, 0.05 percent, which could raise hundreds of billions of dollars to help for poverty in rich countries, jobs in the U.S., jobs in the UK, but also for poverty in Africa as a result of people dying because of the economic crisis," Lawson said.

That's what real-life bankers are saying, too. Brian Mairs is the spokesman for the British banking association. "It's not something that would work in the real world," he says, "Certainly not at the moment when we still have disputed trade agreements. We're indeed having cross border wars. The idea of there being a single tax which is imposed ( 强加)across the world is simply unbelievable. "Organizers say they want G20 countries to participate, and they're starting an online grassroots movement to pressure world leaders. It's on Twitter and Facebook.

"You've had thousands of people sign up to support the Robin Hood Tax and talk about it on Twitter. Interestingly, they've now started tweeting （鸟叫） to their politicians," Jonathan Tench, Oxfam's parliamentary officer said. Supporters can become "merry men and women" by putting a green mask on their online photo, or printing one to wear. If online reaction is any indicator, people are largely in favor. Some British banks are posting record profits and giving large bonuses to executives. Observers say that's causing public outrage（愤怒） against bankers that could boost the campaign. Campaigners even projected their message on the side of the Bank of England. It was one way they say to show bankers that the writing is on the wall.

66. From the passage we can see the purpose of putting a 0 .05 percent tax on financial transactions between banks that don’t involve the public is ________ .

A. to deposit more money in banks to fight the crisis

B. to withdraw more money from banks to solve the problem

C. to collect some money during the transactions by taxing a bit higher

D. to rob the banks of their money

67. Why do they call the campaign “ the Robin Hood Tax” ?

A. Because Robin Hood is a millionaire.

B. Because Robin Hood robbed the rich to help the poor.

C. Because it was Robin Hood that made the law of taxation.

D. Because Robin Hood is a banker.

68. What does the sentence “"It's not something that would work in the real world," in the third paragraph imply?

A. Brian Mairs thinks it difficult to carry out the campaign for the moment.

B. Brian Mairs is strongly against the campaign for the moment.

C. Brian Mairs speaks highly of the campaign for the moment.

D. Brian Mairs appeals to other businesses to join in in future.

69. If the idea mentioned in this passage comes true, what do you think the public opinion will be?

A. Neutral(中立的) B. Supportive C. Disagreeable D. Objective

70. If zhe problem of global poverty is to be settled, ___________.

A. more taxes on banks is the only solution

B. American and British support comes first

C. international co-operation and support are essential

D. the public should force the leaders to take actions

In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to those who have lived with us these years. In fact, we do not have to 　 31　 a special time to thank the ones 　 32　 to us. If you have 　 33　 anything about giving thanks, it should be this: 　 34　 it now! Saying thanks is such a(n) 　 35　 way to add happiness to the 　 36　 .

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’s world, but also brightens yours. If you are feeling 　 37　 or unloved, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine that you 　 38　 .

Of course, sometimes you cannot express gratitude 　 39　 . In that case, do not fall into 　 40 — speak up the first time you have a 　 41　 .

Once a young man, whose name was Mark Brian, was sent to a 　 42　 of India. The villagers, he had been told before, did not have a 　 43　 for “thank you”. But on arriving there, Mark Brian found that those villagers expressed their 　 44　 in other ways. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to 　45　 every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with the 　 46　 or more kindness. They did express their thanks.

I 　 47　 if we had no words in our 　 48　 for thank you”, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? And would we be more responsive (回应的), more 　 49　 and more caring?

Thankfulness can be transferred (传递) among people all around us—including ourselves, 　 50　 no one ever misunderstands a thankful heart.
