sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it “was too crowded” “I cant go to Sunday School,” she sobbed to the pastor （牧师） as he walked bySeeing her shabby appearance, the pastor guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School classThe child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship JesusSome years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangementsAs her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dumpInside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, “This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School”For two years she had saved for this offering of loveWhen the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would doCarrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotionA newspaper learned of the story and

Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trainedHave a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses

pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts （炸面包圈）, and becoming friends with regular customersI wasnt expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy （含乳脂的）, or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfectionI couldnt seem to please anyoneOne rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upsetHe said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few yearsI knew exactly how he feltBefore he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffeeHe was surprised, since he hadnt ordered anything but coffeeI had given him his favorite type of doughnut“Its on me,” I told him“Have a nice day”He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rainThe next day, it was still rainingI spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their ordersI was completely wet and freezing coldWorse, no one was tipping that dayEvery time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressedIn the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the windowHe handed me a pink rose and a noteHe said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the worldWith a friendly wave, he drove awayI ran to the back of the shop and read the noteIt read:Christine,Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterdayIt is so nice to meet someone whos indeed nicePlease dont change your ways! Have a great day! HankAfter that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindnessThen I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”50Why wasnt the writer happy with her job at first?AThe customers didnt tip her enough BIt was difficult to make iced coffee perfectCEverybody had an enormous order DThe job didnt turn out as she had expected51The man came to the coffee shop to _Abuy his favorite doughnut Bcomplain to the authorCbuy a cup of iced coffee Dget out of the rain52The man felt thankful for the writer because _Ashe was indeed kind to him in a time of need Bshe knew exactly how the man feltCshe offered him coffee and food for free Dshe comforted him by sharing his pain53What can we learn from the passage?ADont count your eggs until they are hatchedBIf you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your pathCThe quality of your life is the quality of your relationshipsDA man is happy so long as he chooses to be happyCAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.54. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.55. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.56. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experience D. used the same language57. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by .A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsDNASAs Mars detector (探测器), Opportunity, succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet. Opportunity landed on Mars in January. Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.This discovery was chosen by Science, one of the worlds leading magazines, as the most important scientific achievement of 2004 last Friday.“This little, wheeled, one-armed box went around another planet and has done something no human has ever managed,” according to Science. “It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed.” “Although we still cant say that life could have existed in this environment, it is now certain that there was water on Mars,” said Steve Squyres, one of the scientists working on the Mars mission. The evidence comes from pictures and chemical readings taken by Opportunity. It includes marks on rocks like those caused by flowing water on Earth and salty chemicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds. Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on Mars. But it is still unknown whether the water on Mars was like an ocean or just ice.While Opportunity has not found any signs of life, the presence of water means life is possible. “In everything we know about life on Earth, there is no example without liquid water,” Squyres said. “So water is important for the search for life on Mars.”Researchers agree that a future mission (任务) should bring back physical samples (样品). But some scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth. “The problem here is how to get the samples back,” Squyres replied. “I think it is our responsibility to limit any risk.”58. _ prove that water existed on Mars.A. The physical samples with salty chemicals B. The marks on rocks and salty chemicalsC. Scientific achievements of 2004 D. Creatures from Mars59. Which of the following is TURE according to the text?A. It is now certain that there was water on Mars.B. The water on Mars was like an ocean.C. Evidence of life on Mars has been found.D. Search for life on Mars is a great risk to humans.60. How did scientists draw the conclusion that there was water on Mars?A. The worlds leading magazine has announced the fact.B. Scientists have take
