閱讀理解。

Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (腎臟) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam — became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.

“(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”

During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.

“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.

Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.

“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.

Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.

Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.

Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.

“FedEx Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”

The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.

Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.

1. We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.

A. was a healthy boy

B. was popular at an early age

C. sang the song with his sister

D. worked in his father’s company

2. Opening Hearts is a book that _____.

A. is a best seller

B. is about Sam’s sister

C. was published when Sam was 13

D. was written by Sam and his mother

3. What is FedEx Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?

A. Doubtful. B. Surprised.

C. Approving. D. Uninterested.

4. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?

A. Optimistic and warm-hearted.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Unusual and confident.

D. Friendly and brave.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation(責(zé)任). 1.

We say this to one another with great pride. 2. We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 3. Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest. This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. But how did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet it lacks joy and delight?

4. Sunday is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good, time to sing songs, give thanks, and walk. It is time to be refreshed as we stop our work, our chores and our important projects.

Sunday is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilty when we take time to rest. 5. Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are deep in our cultural memory.

A. We also miss the quiet that gives us wisdom.

B. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

C. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere, “I am so busy.”

D. We work through day and night, feeling rather exhausted.

E. But the Sunday has proven its wisdom over the ages.

F. The reason is simple: we have forgotten the Sunday.

G. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.

Dear Sir,

I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host family for the British students. Locating in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, our large fully-equipped apartment meets all their needs. Apart from the conveniently public transportation, our own car can also take them to some nearby places of interests. With fluent English and an outgoing personality, I’m sure I will have no difficulty communicate with them. Above all, we host two British students last year, through that we’ve gained lots of experience. In addition, my mother’s expert cooking can guarantee for them a wonderful chance of taste delicious Chinese food.

I would greatly appreciate if I could have the chance to host them and make friends with them.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
