My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrcetary-General of the United Nations (UN).

Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along.

1.Alex lent Emma the book, Markings,__________.

A．to show his friendliness to her

B．to show his interest in reading

C．to tell her about the importance of UN

D．to let her write her name and address inside

2.How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?

【解析】

試題分析：Alex借書(shū)給Emma表示自己的善良和樂(lè)于助人，但她很驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的名字竟然在這本書(shū)里面….

1.推理題。根據(jù)第一段5,6行Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her.說(shuō)明他把這本書(shū)借給她是為了表示自己的善良和樂(lè)于助人。故A正確。

2.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段1,2行But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting.說(shuō)明她很驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的名字竟然在這本書(shū)里面。故D正確。

3.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第三行.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends.中的at a concert back in Montreal,說(shuō)明A正確。

4.推理題。根據(jù)文章最后兩行When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along.

可知Alex的這個(gè)朋友是是最早拿到這本書(shū)的人。故D正確。

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36  needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37  , so the next day I got ready to go.

I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38  , and helped Alex and   39  of the volunteers. There were only three  40  at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41  just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42  , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43  asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44  those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45  I cannot alone  46  every single cause in the world!

I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47  , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48  . I realized that   49  I wasn’t pushy（強(qiáng)求的）, it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50  .

I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51  I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52  . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53  .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54  , and I became a successful fundraiser.

At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55  how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
