All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an) 41 fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull 42 a panhandler,
make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, ―Oh, 43 ? here’s lunch.‖
We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44 back in the opposite direction for home. 45 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was 46 and didn’t know quite how to behave.

But you know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!‖
I don’t know if the kids 52 the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53 or insignificant to really effective change. 54 in that moment, I recognized the 55 of Mother Teresa’s words: ―We cannot do great things – only small things with great love.‖

A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票)at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the £25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The theft happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to ―help‖, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been stolen. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: \million for him--- a lottery win. Please meet me.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the residents of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the residents become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants(居民). Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.
60.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection? A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.
61.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .
A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists’ customs C. over - crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic 62.It can be inferred from the text that ________ .
A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction
C. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities
63.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ . A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life
C
It’s enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during their working
lives, research has showed. You won’t be surprised to learn women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone--- who only chat for an average of three years.
Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls, 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women. But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations. More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as ling on a personal call(10 minutes) as on a business one.
Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll(民意调查) found. However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say “Someone’s at the door.”Other excuses include “I’m cooking.”and “I need to go to the toilet.”
Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speaker to the caller. One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did not mind calls up to midnight. Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they knew they should ring but never got round to doing so.
Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, “As a nation, we love to chat on the phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime.” 64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime. B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls. D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman.
65. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says “Sorry, someone’s at the door.”, he or she probably means
“_________”.
A. I am going to the toilet. B. I want to stop chatting C. I am too tired to talk any longer.
D. I must go to open the door for someone. 66. From the text, we know that_______.
A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call C. most people never ring the people in their address books D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled
67. What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that _______. A. it’s no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone B. people in many countries love to chat on the phone C. people insist on often phoning their family and friends
D. the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpected

When a 20-pound turkey emerged from the kitchen at a weekend dress rehearsal(排演)for Thanksgiving dinner, about two dozen Chinese immigrants pulled out their digital cameras and took pictures. ―Wah!‖ exclaimed several.
―It’s cooked so well,‖ said Wilson Goh. ―Under the light, it’s very pretty.‖
Sponsored(赞助)by the Chinese American Etiquette(礼节) Association, the event addressed the typical American holiday’s traditions, which often baffle new immigrants.
―The great thing is that immigrants come and adopt these holidays and traditions and also change them,‖ said Noah Pickus , a professor of ethics and public policy at Duke University who studies American identity. ―That is part of how they become American, and it gives new energy to us.‖
Jane Leu, director of Upwardly Global, a San Francisco organization that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers, sees special relevance(关联) for immigrants in Thanksgiving.
―Most don’t know that it is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America and living to tell the tale.‖ Leu said. ―My sense is that you have to be in the U.S. for a long time before you feel that getting up at 7 a.m. on a day off to put in the turkey and bake up some pies has any meaning.‖ Many immigrants do adopt the holiday after they arrive in the United States, but in their own ways. Cherie M. Querol Moreno, 52, of Daly City, will serve lumpia (spring rolls) and coconut and pineapple fruit salad this Thanksgiving to honor her native Philippines. And she’ll serve succotash and corn to represent the contributions of Native Americans. Moreno says she used to serve turkey, but there’s always too much. She will instead serve chicken this year.
―The spirit of the holiday lives in each wave of settlers that arrives and enriches this country with their culture and traditions,‖ said Moreno, who immigrated in 1980. ―I didn’t want to imitate the first Thanksgiving; I wanted to make the occasion meaningful to us.‖
68. The Chinese American Etiquette Association is most probably an organization which______.
A. helps new immigrants from China to get to know about American culture and customs
B. just teaches new immigrants from China to get to know about the holiday ——Thanksgiving C. helps Chinese immigrant professionals rebuild their careers D. studies American identity. 69. From the passage, we can infer that______.
A. the two dozen Chinese immigrants took pictures excitedly B. people usually get up late on a day off
