He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. Af friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”

Success and kindness

The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

On September 22, 1986, Jay Brunkella, a police-officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicago, was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly af terwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran (老警官) of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.

Dad-This poem came directly from my heart. I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how much lost I’d be without you-Laura. P.S.: Hey, let’s be careful out there.

Titled “The Ultimate Cop”, Laura’s poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad.” It was about a police-officer’s daughter who sees on the night time news that her father has been shot. Part of poem: “Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me cry? Oh, God, I need my Daddy, please don’t let him die.”

Ken Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes,”he said.“I’d get through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping. She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. “I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t finish it.”

Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I don’t want to be out there without it.” he said, “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.”

1.Laura wrote the poem ______.

A.in memory of her father who was shot in the drug arrest

B.to show her great sorrow in losing her father

D.to tell officer Ken Knapcik how much she loved him

2.All the officers cried because ______

C.the poem was so sad that they couldn’t hold back their tears

D.they thought of their dangerous life

3.Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in his pocket ______.

A.to treasure her daughter’s love and to value his own life   B.to keep it from missing

C.because he can’t go out without it     D.to mourn over the death of officer Jay Brunkella

     Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard
about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very
expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from
Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They
thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.
They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give
them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of
the East In-dia Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next
few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could af-ford to buy it. At the
same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk
without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted
like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because
she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea
with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Brit-ons (British
people) drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought
of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three
or four o'clock stopped her getting" a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new
meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
1. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C. The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D. It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
2. This passage mainly discusses _______.
A. the history of tea drinking in Britain
B. how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C. how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D. how tea-time was born
3. Tea became a popular drink in Britain ______.
A. in eighteenth century
B. in sixteenth century
C. in seventeenth century
D. in the late seventeenth century
4. We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the
     influence of _________.
A. a famous French lady
B. the ancient Chinese
C. the upper social class
D. people in Holland
