14.Recently,there have been many famous people (71)watering(water) themselves with buckets of ice water-what's all that about?That is called the"Ice Bucket Challenge",one of the hottest activities.
The activity was created by the ALS Association,an American charity organization,who are working to fight a disease (72)called(call) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).The disease ALS makes people's muscle become hard and (73)it is very hard for the patients to move.Stephen Hocking is one of the patients.According to the game rules of"Ice Bucket Challenge",participants have to pour a bucket of ice water over the head,and anybody(74)who  is invited to the challenge can either do the pouring in 24hours(75)or donate 100U.S.dollars,or do the both.
Like the epidemic(流行病),Ice bucket challenge,which is popular around the world very (76)quickly(quick),has made a growing number of famous persons worldwide,including Bill Gates,Christiano Ronaldo,and Lady Gaga and so on.The activity not only helps the sick people to get the money(77)to cure  (cure) their disease,but also makes more and more people aware(78)ofthe disease.Ice bucket challenge is(79)a  great success.Until now,a big sum of money (80)has been received(receive).We hope the patients become better.
12.Two years ago I fell off the steps of a bus while climbing down and twisted my ankle.What followed was the usual way that is common in the US.A few hours later I was treated and discharged.What was uncommon was that I received extra care while going to ER(emergency room) and while I was in the hospital.
People were kind to me,men and women alike.They wheeled me into a private room instead of making me wait in the crowded waiting room.Someone came and asked me if the temperature is OK.When I said I was cold,he brought me a blanket and some magazines,in case I got bored.The nurses stopped by,making pleasant chats with me.People always came to ask me if I was in too much pain and if I needed anything…
There were other people who were brought in while I was waiting.Patients groaning in pain were given the care they needed and then ignored.My injury was not the priority,so while I was not pushed to the front of the line,my several hours'stay in the hospital was made as pleasant as possible.Why would people do that?They gave others care,while I got kindness.
Like any other good looking,healthy,independent person,man or woman,it looks as if the world is nicer to rich people,and the world is nicer to attractive people.I'm not in the dating world.It's not about free drinks and gifts.It's about people being nice.
I'm grateful for any positive behavior because I know this is temporary.Eventually I will join the groups of the elderly,the weak and the seemingly unattractive.One thing I refuse to do is to make excuses for being attractive.I know it's temporary.I know it's the luck of the draw and I know that I'm just one of the many.Does it matter to my husband,my mother and my kids what I look like?No.And I wouldn't have it any other way.

21.What caused the author into deep thought?D
A.She was given less care in the hospital.
B.Patients were only given physical care in the hospital.
C.She didn't get treatment immediately in the hospital.
D.Other patients in the hospital didn't get the same kindness as her.
22.What can we know about the author?A
A.She is an attractive lady.
B.She shows great pity to old patients.
C.She doesn't like free drinks or gifts.
D.She was treated unequally in the hospital.
23.Which of the following does the author agree with?D
A.The hospital should treat attractive patients in preference to others.
B.The positive behavior that being attractive brings can last long.
C.Old patients should get much more care from the hospital.
D.Being attractive means nothing to the people truly important to you.

The Tour de France is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world.Established in 1903,it is considered to be the biggest test of endurance out of all sports.Lance Armstrong,an American cyclist,is the only rider to have won 7titles after surviving cancer.
