     A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to warm themselves
up during one particularly icy cold winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the
husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day.
Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his
laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one
letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.
     In the same time: In Houston, a woman had just returned from her husband's funeral(葬礼).
He was a minister of many years who had been "called home to glory" following a heart
attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon
reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've arrived!
     I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for
your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as

     Donna is 19 years old and loves animals, which is why I’m always happy to leave my dog with her
when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she
returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs.“She wasn’t being asked to hit them
because they didn’t behave well,” he said.
    "She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is boss." Donna
refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hurt an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an
important lesson, such as not to run into the road; or because you like hurting animals.
     Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don't know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I
saw a horse with a huge ulcer(溃疡) on its leg. "Surely this horse won't race?" I asked. I was very
surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.
     The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its
dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who'd bet on it. I know
people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.
     Oh, but it's tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn't the world be a boring place if we didn't occasionally
hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable
to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients, or to watch
public execution(执行死刑).
     Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an
important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just
saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our
respect.

1. Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because __________.

A. they misbehaved
B. their owner disliked them
C. people on the farm enjoy hurting them
D. it was a way to train them to obey people

2. What does the underlined word "punch" probably mean?

A. strike
B. stroke
C. punish
D. pump

3. What's the writer's purpose in telling the readers the story about the horse?

A. To explain the traditional horse race to readers.
B. To prove that the weak horse can't win in the race.
C. To show that animals are treated unfairly by humans.
D. To say that people care more for horses than horse racing.

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People no longer watch killing criminals in public.
B. The writer cannot accept anyone who hits the animals.
C. It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master.
D. The writer thinks it possible to change the traditions made by men.

5. What's the best title of the passage?

A. No one cares for animals nowadays.
B. Let's protect the endangered animals.
C. Show animals the respect they deserve.
D. The stories between animals and people.

     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 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

     I spent three months volunteering with Volunteer Bolivia(玻利维亚). It was sometimes
annoying, scary and difficult, but also life-changing, satisfying and amazing. Because I had
studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out, I had just one week of classes at
Volunteer Bolivia.
     Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and I felt immediately like one of their
daughters. We were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after
very well. I still had a lot of independence. The Volunteer Bolivia centre, with its cafe bar and
cultural talks, was a meeting place for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful people
from all over the world who were doing the same as me------giving something of themselves
to a country which needs so much.
     My job was in a caring centre for prisoners' children from the Cochabamba prisons and
from the very (恰好的)start I felt welcomed and needed. There I met some inspiring members
who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to
love them. Not only the work itself was very hard but at times it was emotionally demanding,
especially sending a group of two year olds back into the prison at the end of the day. Despite
all this, I learnt a lot through the experience and now I'm more aware of the problems faced
daily by many people in South America. The centre has very limited funding (资金)so they
depend heavily on the work of volunteers, and any time people give is very valuable to them.
     Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the people I worked with and I'm trying
to support them as much as possible. Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my
life and is an experience I will never forget.

1. We can infer that the official language of Bolivia is most probably _____ .

A. English
B. Spanish
C. French
D. Italian

2. Where did the author stay when she was in Bolivia?_____

A. In a hotel.

3. The author's job as a volunteer in Bolivia was to ._____

A. raise money for some prisons
B. meet volunteers from other countries
C. look after some prisoners' children
D. help the local people with their farm work

4. What did the author think of her work in Bolivia according to Paragraph 3?______

A. Challenging.
B. Relaxing.
C. Disappointing.
D. Boring.
