Crossroads International
1．How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network．We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them．We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena （福利院） in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa． 71
2．Who do we help?
72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task．Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock．
3． 73
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated． 74 Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis．
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions ●Householders
●Transport Companies ●Offices
●Other Charities
75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping．
| A．One resource that we are always in need of is people． |
| B．So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource． |
| C．What can I do? |
| D．The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets． |
F．All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．
G．Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （货运）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

Going back to school is a very exciting event for my two boys. It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday.
My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.
For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.
For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.
Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.
The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.
At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.
56．The author’s children are ________ to go to school.
A. eager B. afraid C. unwilling D. surprised
57．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.
A. fantasy B. dream world C. prison D. terrible situation
58．Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.
A. the terrible education system B. security problems and poverty
C. parents’ distrust in schools D. the government’s inability
59．As a parent, the author ________.
A. is unable to afford his kids’ schooling B. is unwilling to send his kids to school
C. hopes his kids have a happy school life D. complains school education costs too much
They’re WILD animals
By Ernst-Ulrich Franzen
March 11, 2010 (3) Comments
The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.

Don’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?
2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AM
It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.
3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AM
Alcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?
60．In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.
A. the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the danger
B. she didn’t know the bear was a wild animal
C. she was somehow influenced by cartoon characters
D. she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear
61．TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.
A. may have been drunk B. may be a little stupid
C. was addicted to wine D. fed wine to the bear
62．tk421 means a drunk person ________.
A. should be forbidden to enter the zoo B. usually gets himself into trouble
C. is often fond of making up stories D. usually likes to show himself off
63．What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets?
A. Kind. B. Illegal. C. Loving. D. Stupid.
In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.
And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.
Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.
As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.
“Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”
A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.
The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies(喜剧).
64．Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?
A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.
B. People are richer with the development of economy.
C. More comedies are made than serious films.
D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.
65．Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.
A. she tried to escape reality B. she was a crazy movie fan
C. she was fond of Disneyland D. she wanted to please her kids
66．According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?
A.17.5% B. $1.7 billion C. $60 D. $25 million
67．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes
B. following the order of time
C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion
D. making comparison of ideas
Summer is a busy time for travel. For years, people have wondered whether they are safe from viruses when they travel in small, enclosed areas. They worry about close contact with others who may be sick.
The current spread of a swine flu(猪流感) virus has added to these concerns. Recently, the World Health Organization raised its warning about the new H1N1 virus to its highest level. W.H.O. Director-General Margaret Chan declared the sickness a pandemic–a disease that has spread to many nations. Given this information, many people want to know how safe it is to travel?
The answers people are getting may seem conflicting. For example, a W.H.O. statement urged nations not to close their borders or limit trade and travel. Director-General Chan said cases are generally not that serious for most people. Still, W.H.O. officials continue to report new cases across the world.
In the past, the W.H.O. and experts noted guidance for disease spread on airplanes. The experts said you could get infected only if you sit within two rows of someone who is sick. That would be a distance of up to three meters from the sick person. And this was true only if you sat there for more than eight hours.
But a travel-health expert says this guidance may not be helpful for swine flu. He suggests steps that could help prevent getting swine flu on an airplane. His advice includes keeping the airflow over your seat on the “low” position. The doctor says you should point the equipment so the flow of air is just in front of your face.
Doctors say anyone with pain, swelling(肿胀) or red skin on a leg during or after a long trip may have a blood clot(凝块). Anyone with such signs should see a doctor as soon as possible. The condition many times can be treated with drugs that thin the blood and stop the clot from moving through the body.
68．The underlined word “conflicting” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. in disagreement B. not true C. the same D. unbelievable
69．According to Director-General Chan, the swine flu is ________.
A. a disease spread on airplanes B. a very dangerous disease
C. a disease requiring limit travel D. a widely spread disease
70．Which of the following is the travel-health expert’s opinion on traveling in an airplane?
A. It’s safe to sit within two rows of a sick person.
B. It’s helpful to keep air flowing right before your face.
C. It’s important for a passenger to stay in a plane within 8 hours.
D. It’s certain that a passenger will have a blood clot after a long flight.
71．What would be the best title for the text?
A. Stop Traveling in Case of Swine Flu B. Experts’ Arguments Over Swine Flu
C. Prevention of Swine Flu on the Trip D. No News Is the Best News
Michael Lewis writes about the inner strategies of sports to fans’ delight, and yet describes the personalities and worlds of his real-life characters with such depth that nonfans will enjoy his writing just as much. He looked successfully at baseball management with Moneyball. Now The Blind Side examines the increasing value placed on the left tackle(左后卫)position in football, the high pressure world of college football recruiting(招收队员), and in particular, the life of one promising young left tackle, Mike Oher.
Oher’s story’s attractive. The big boy was silent to the point that many people thought he was mentally disabled. Then, in a lucky break, Oher and a friend are admitted to a very white, private high school, far across town from their own poor African-American neighborhood. Oher is unbelievably far behind academically, but he’s taken under the wing of Sean Tuohy, one of the school’s coaches, a wealthy man whose family Oher eventually joins. Before long, though Oher almost completely lacks football experience, he leads him to new athletic heights and brings on a fierce competition from eager college coaches.
Lewis’s book brings on many interesting questions: How did a kid like Oher get so lost in the college recruiting system at first? How far should the system bend to meet the needs of a few student athletes? Are the Tuohys the most selfless, or are they using Oher themselves? If so, does it matter, if it benefits him? And what should we think of the college recruiting system that comes after him? These are just a few subjects raised by this highly readable book.
No fan of football should pass on this good one, but even if your interest in sports is only mild, consider tracking down the works of Michael Lewis.
72．Michael Lewis is ________.
A. a football player B. a high school student C. a book writer D. a football coach
73．People thought Oher was mentally disabled because ________.
A. he was too tall and heavy B. he seldom spoke with others
C. he was too academically poor D. he was an African-American
74．The third paragraph is intended to ________.
A. explore deep meanings of the book B. tell how hard it is to understand the story
C. question the poor quality of the book D. show what a hot topic the book becomes
75．Which of the following would be the best title?
A. The Blind Side: Progress of a Game B. Michael Lewis: Thinker of Real Life
C. Where Is College Recruiting System Going? D. Where Are the African-Americans Going?
