In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 36 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars. 37 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 38 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 39 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 40 , my friend drove his car into the innermost 41 , which had a sign “carpool only”. I 42 what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 43 I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing. 44 ?” said he.
“Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I 45 .
My friend couldn’t help 46 and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 47 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 48 that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he 49 “carpool” the next day. “ 50 ,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was 51 again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled” 52 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor 53 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun, 54 the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really 55 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.

Wu You, a 14–year–old Chinese Australian, used her diary to record what she had experienced in Guangzhou during this year’s Spring Festival travel period.
She, like tens of thousands of passengers stranded (滞留) at the Guangzhou Railway Station, had a Spring Festival she could never forget. But different from most people, she put down what she saw and heard in her diary, which was published in Australia.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Wu You’s grandfather and parents are professional painters, and she started to write diaries with pictures when she was only ten years old. She never expected to become famous because of her diary describing her life in Guangzhou.
“We originally planned to stay for half a month in Guangzhou when we arrived in January,” said Huang Qin, Wu’s mother. But the snowstorm caused the breakdown of traffic and kept the family there. “This is her first Spring Festival in China and probably the most special one,” said Huang. “We watched TV news programs every day and prayed for the snowstorm to be over soon so that stranded passengers could go home as soon as possible.”
Then Wu You started writing diaries about the snowstorm and the stranded passengers, along with the traditional customs in Guangzhou as well as local attractions such as the flower fair.
“In her diary she just wrote down what she heard and saw every day, and with her pencil she added some illustration to every diary. When we went back to Australia, people saw the diaries and asked to publish them on a local newspaper,” said Huang, “because they thought the diaries are very heart – warming.” All of Wu You’s diaries were written in English, and translated into Chinese by her mother. Through her diary, the girl shows her care to the Chinese people. In one diary, she wrote, “I really hope the warmth from people’s love can melt the cold snow and ice.”
72. Wu You wrote diaries during her stay in Guangzhou because she _______ .
A. has the habit of keeping a diary B. wished to make her name known
C. needed a means to kill time D. experienced so many interesting things
73. We can infer from the story that Wu You _____ during the Spring Festival.
A. did nothing besides watching TV and writing diaries
B. helped clear away the snow and ice
C. helped other stranded passengers in difficulty
D. had activities to get a taste of the local culture
74. The underlined word “illustration” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. photos B. drawings C. translations D. tips
75. Her diary is believed worth publishing mainly because it tells about the ______.
A. wonderful places in Guangzhou covered in ice and snow
B. interesting ways of locals observing the Spring Festival
C. severe disaster caused by the snowstorm
D. moving stories of the passengers being helped
The men"s race was won by Kenyan, Martin Lel, who finished the race in just two hours and five minutes, a personal best time for him. Irina Mikitenko was the winner of the women"s race and this was astonishingly only her second race at marathon distance!
There was also a group of 24 runners who have competed in every single one of the 28 London marathons. Jeff Aston is one of them and at 60 years old, he finished in just over three and a half hours.
A lot of the
non-competitive runners take part in the marathon to raise mon
ey for charity. Jeff estimates he has raised about ￡25,000 (350,000 RMB) over the 28 years he has been running.Jane Tomlinson is a well-known name in the UK. She raised millions for charity doing long cycle rides, marathons and triathlons while struggling against terminal cancer, a battle she sadly lost last year. In honor of Jane, her husband and daughter took part in the marathon. They managed to raise ￡20,000 (280,000 RMB) for a charity set up in Jane"s name.
Another astonishing one was blind runner Dave Heeley completing the marathon. As if that wasn"t enough, this was his seventh marathon in seven days, as he took part in a special challenge which took him to seven countries.

Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crimes. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”
In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.
“The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “It‘s been good to be on this trip. But what’s also important is what we do when it’s finished. That’s what counts.” “I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12. “It’s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”
The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.
46. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.
B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.
C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.
D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation.
47. In Compton-Rock’s opinion, the Bushwick kids _________.
A. have fewer challenges than those in any other district
B. are living much better a life than people in Africa
C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others
D. should be kept out of schools in this part of the city
48. Compared with Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _________.
A. may have bigger challenges B. receive no care from the government
C. are much more independent D. are able to lead the family
49. According to the passage, “Journey for Change” can be best seen as the saying “_________”.
A. God helps those who help themselves B. saying and doing are two things
C. one stone kills two birds D. a friend in need is a friend indeed
50. From the passage we know that _________.
A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time.
C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto
D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto

The smell of old, dusty books reminds me of my father. A greedy(贪婪的) 36 , he had many books, most of which went unread.
He owned books on 37 from medicine to history and to several sets of encyclopedias (百科全书). When I enter one of his 38 bookshops where he used to buy books, such as Powell"s, I am 39 back to a time when the two of us were 40 . I saw him standing by a bookshelf, 41 through a medical magazine, or opening his wallet to pay for yet 42 book, knowing well that Mom would 43 him on "waste money on books and you will never 44 !" I can not hold back my smiling at his mixed feelings, and the impressive memories always strike me even today.
Walking past rows and rows of books in our study, I remember 45 , after the cancer struck, he came less and less and read fewer and fewer books. They became just part of the 46 , collecting only dust and 47.
Near the end, perhaps knowing he would never get to read them all, he gave almost all of the books away, 48 only a few. He treated them with an almost holy (神圣的) respect, 49 any crease (皱褶) or damage would destroy them totally. 50 was the man who would pay little attention to a huge
coffee mark on a book, replaced by one who would burst into terrible 51 even at a small crease.I have read a few now after he died, and each time it 52 a hurt in my heart. But I suppose it is a kind of quest (追求), because if I can take on his eagerness for 53, his cheerful smile for happiness, and his willingness to help others, then like a match in the darkness, I will bring a little light into the world. And if that light 54 others, maybe it will spread far and wide, 55 up the heavens. I think he"d like that.
