Two weeks ago, a 5 year old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank(存钱罐)onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News.“Nobody messes around with her piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes long, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I'm taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money.“I'm going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn't get milk—her mom doesn't have milk money but I do.”
Sunshine's words melted Jackie's heart. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk. It costs $0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine's class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine didn't see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends.“ She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about,” said Jackie. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
24.Why did Sunshine empty out her piggy bank
A.She wanted to play with the coins.
B.She needed to train her counting skills.
C.She intended to pay for her friend's milk.
D.She hoped to show off her savings in class.
25.How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine's words
A.Touched. B.Curious.
C.Proud. D.Relieved.
26.In Jackie's eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Two heads are better than one.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
27.What is the best title for this passage
A.Jackie's Piggy Bank B.Small Coins, Big Deeds
C.A Moved Grandmother D.The Piggy Bank and Milk
C
Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture (捕捉) and preserve it, which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.
Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them. So sure are we that we'll get around to them one day.
The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic (评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveller who realised that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin's eyes, there's just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.
Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts. ”
Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “Changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will not make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”
28.According to Paragraph 2, what do people tend to do when taking pictures
A.Forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot.
B.Find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures.
C.Find a good way to keep things in their minds.
D.Have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology.
29.According to Ruskin, what should travellers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful
A.To speak it out openly. B.To photograph it instantly.
C.To purchase it immediately. D.To paint it directly.
30.From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ________.
A.considerate and determined B.active and adventurous
C.creative and thoughtful D.sensitive and ambitious
31.What does the underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph mean
A.Appreciated. B.Criticised.
C.Favoured. D.Ignored.
D
Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if those weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job to wait tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki's son Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over the world,” says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. “They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone.”
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas' main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight It has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full time job to wait tables.“Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure,” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know to say people need help now.”
32.From the passage, what do we know about Christopher Thomas
A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B.He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C.He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
33.What was the purpose of
A.To help diabetics communicate with each other.
B.To help volunteers find jobs.
C.To amuse diabetics.
D.To share Rockstar's resources.
34.What can we learn about Fight It
A.It helps the diabetics with financial difficulties.
B.It organizes parties for volunteers once a year.
C.It offers less expensive medicines to diabetics.
D.It owns a well known medical website.
35.What can we know about Thomas in the last paragraph
A.He works full time in a diabetes charity.
B.He employs 22 people for his website.
C.He helps diabetics in his own way.
D.Thomas tries to find a cure for diabetes.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighbourhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”, turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself,and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939,a collector,Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world-famous.

参考范文:
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with pleasure,Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
