Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Many well-known people come to help those who are in trouble. And this was the case for basketball player Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究員) find a medical cure. Fund-raising, or charity, is an act of goodwill(好意) towards others.
Charities in the West have more ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a rich woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten(筋疲力盡的) horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. She turns on the television, and sees a picture of a wide–eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with a request (請求) for money to help the child. The tickets for the charity shows often cost her a lot of money, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.
Edna, a little old lady, looks after a second-hand shop—a charity shop. Any profit (收益) it has made goes to a cancer(癌癥) charity. Now that she doesn’t have to work, she has lots of time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue (美德) that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish writer Henry Drummond.

| D．when you look back sometimes, you need stand out |
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】B
【小題5】A
解析【小題1】細節題。結合Yao Ming. He hosted a television show in Shanghai and raised US $ 300,000 to help researchers (研究員) find a medical cure可知答案。
【小題2】推斷題。Ruth確實繁忙但并沒有流露出feel tired 之意，尋讀“The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind…” 和 “She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick.” 等句可看出她并沒有因為很多人讓她捐錢而生氣，因此B項、C項均排除。D項沒有提到。關于Edna,文中講到她已退休，有足夠的閑暇時間提供免費服務，因此A項正確。
【小題3】細節題。結合倒數第二段可知答案。
【小題4】細節題。結合It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals 可知答案
【小題5】語義推測題，選D。劃線部分本意是“當你回顧你的生活時，往往是你幫助了別人的那些時刻或情景會在你的記憶中清晰地顯現（stand out）。” 因此選A。

Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children don’t get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and it’s time for homework.
The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids’ lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.
Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.
Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.
Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids’ lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.
( ) 8. Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to .
A. math classes B. language school B. sport club D. piano lessons
( ) 9. Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom?
A. Because they are very tired. B. Because they know a lot of things.
C. Because they are under too much pressure. D. Because they can’t plan things for themselves.
( ) 10. From the passage, we know children take part in after-school activities because .
A. they have interest in them B. their teachers tell them to do so
C. their parents push them to do so D. they see other children doing these things
( ) 11. The writer probably thinks that parents should .
A. compare their children with others B. plan their children’s lives for them
C. take their children to different classes
D. give children time and let them do things by themselves
