【題目】Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.

Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.

When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.

After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”

In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.

Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

【題目】Once upon a time, there was a mother who lived alone with her son. They worked very hard all year round 【1】 they still couldn’t live a comfortable life. They really looked forward to making their life better, but didn’t know how.

【題目】A recent study has shown that eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day could be good for your health. Scientists have found that a regular 2 ounces can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a heart attack or stroke（中風(fēng)）without any weight gain. But take care before you reach for a large bar. The effects are canceled out if more than 30 calories are taken into your body each day, the researchers warn.

It’s already known that a chemical called polyphenol（多酚）, found in chocolate, can help reduce blood pressure, and blood pressure lowered in this way can reduce the risk of death from a stroke by 8 percent and from a heart attack by 5 percent, scientists declare. And it can also reduce the risk or death in general by 4 percent.

A daily diet with a little chocolate has the same effect with some special diets designed to lower blood pressure, according to one researcher. “Although all the degree of the blood pressure reduction is small, the effects are quite obvious,” the researchers said.

However, Sara Stanner, a nutritionist at the British Heart Foundation, is quite cautious. “This study suggests that small quantities of small chocolate might have good effects on blood pressure. However, it is important to remember that chocolate is also high in fat and calories. So eating much is not good for your heart.” “Polyphenols are also found in fruits and vegetables, which can be taken in without the risks associated with overintake,” she added.

But the German study shows that the fat content does not cancel out the good effects—at least where small amounts are concerned.

【1】How is Paragraph 2 developed?

A. By making comparisons. B. By listing figures.

C. By analyzing causes. D. By giving examples.

【2】What health benefits does dark chocolate have?

A. It lowers blood pressure heavily.

B. It may prevent heart attacks in a way.

C. It’s useful for controlling one’s weight.

D. It helps people strengthen their body.

【3】What do Sara Stanner’s words suggest?

A. Eating chocolate has no health benefits.

B. Dark chocolate is not so nutritious as expected.

C. The findings of scientist’s study are not scientific.

D. Eating fruits and vegetables may be a better choice.

【4】What will be discussed in the following passage?

A. Some details of the German study.

B. Benefits of fruits and vegetables.

C. Harm of overeating dark chocolate.

D. The proper amount of dark chocolate taken in.
