traffic bother you?how can you get used to 4 much noise?”you see,there were also rows and rows of shops and bars playing loud music day and night and my apartment was above a really loud and noisy 5.but i found it all fascinating.if i were ever short of cash and couldnt afford 6 (do) anything much,which in those days was usually the case,i could always go outside and take 7 look around.you see,there were always a great number of tourists visiting the shops,so i could always find someone 8 (interest) to talk with.and joe,the owner of the bar below me,could always give me a little money

library in athens had an eight-book checkout limit.but there were exceptions.and young john wood was one of them.in order not to prevent his hungry reading habit,the library increased his limit to 12 and john went on his merry way,gobbling up books the way most children do candy.its little wonder that today this successful social businessman likes nothing more than an airplane flight.it offers the ideal chance for a good read.mr.wood gets lots of flying reading time these days as the founder of room to read,a nonprofit program that has spent the past decade building childrens libraries and promoting literacy and education in some of the worlds poorest regions.despite his love for books,there is nothing bookish about wood.as a distance runner with a fondness for the outdoors,wood was on a self-guided trek (长途艰苦旅行)across nepal in 1998 when his future changed from the more usual path he had forged as a microsoft marketing executive.on the first day of the 21-day trek,wood had a chance to meet with a local education official.as they chatted at a teahouse,the official gave him an invitation to visit a local school.off they went the next morning.while wood was touched by the lack of the schools resources,he was positively heartbroken by what passed for its library: the ragged collection of used books was kept under lock and key,so precious to the school were its contents.the headmaster looked at wood and asked loud,“perhaps,sir,you will someday come back with books.”come back he did.first with his father,woody,and nearly 1,000 pounds of books.and then he came back as the founder of a nonprofit program to provide books,schools,and libraries in nepal.“the hardest thing is that there are 50 more countries that need room to read,” says wood.room to read,which opened its 10,000th library earlier this year,raises all of its funds from private donors and foundations.woods technology background has made his work particularly appealing to the philanthropists (慈善家).earlier this year tim koogle,yahoos founding ceo and now president of his own foundation,joined wood on a trek in nepal to celebrate room to reads 10-year anniversary.wood sees education as the path out of poverty,but he understands that it isnt a quick solution.“education is such a long-term one,” he says.“part of the problem with the aid world is that its so focused on the short term.no one gets out of poverty on foreign aid.its always education.”1.why was wood allowed to borrow 12 books from the local library?()a.because he used to bring candy to the librarian.b.because the librarian didnt discourage him from reading.c.because it was a rule for a businessman to borrow 12 books.d.because he liked to eat books like candy.2.the students in the school wood visited in nepal .a.had no interest in the books in the libraryb.looked after their library books carefullyc.werent free to read books in the libraryd.had an urgent need for textbooks in class3.the attitude of mr.koogle towards room to read was . a.negativeb.indifferentc.neutrald.supportive4.from what wood said,we know wood .a.considered education to be most importantb.couldnt wait to see the effect of his aidc.treated foreign aid as a solution to povertyd.planned to spend another 10 years helping.完形填空(2015青海平安一中高三第三次模拟)when i first met alexander he said to me in russian:“nalei umye chai”=“pour me some tea”.i got
