There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用)coffee”. There,you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one,so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee.

    Now,this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (寫導勢 的) than us. On the other hand,some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also,how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隱藏) the money and give out (分發(fā)) the food?

    This is really a trust issue. In fact,it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.

But all in all,hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.

1. In Italy, “ suspended coffee” is a charity activity.

   A. new   B. modern

   C. traditional   D. ancient

2. Who can enjoy suspended coffee in the country?

   A. Every person. B. The rich.

   C. The old. D. The poor.

3. For suspended fast food,which of the following do people worry about?

 ①Some are just out for a free lunch.

 ② Some people don't pay for the meals.

 ③ The restaurant owners don't give out the food.

 ④There will be more and more homeless people.

    A. ①②   B. ①③

   C. ①③④   D. ①②③④

4. What does “trust issue” refer to (指的是) ？

   A. Eating habit. B. Honesty problem.

   C. Big decision. D. Clever idea.

5. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

   A. We shouldn’t believe the beggar.

   B. We have to make sure who are homeless.

   C. We can trust those enough to do the right thing.

   D. What is “suspended fast food”.

  導讀本文以意大利傳統(tǒng)的“待用咖啡”和在中國悄然興起的 “待用快餐”這兩種慈善活動為事例，分析了我們是否應相信那些需要幫助的人。

詳析

1. C細節(jié)理解題。由第一段首句“There is an old Italian tradition called ‘ suspended coffee’可知，“待用咖啡” 這項活動是意大利傳統(tǒng)的慈善活動。

2. D推理判斷題。由第一段最后—句“This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee. ”可知，那些沒錢的人就可 以通過這項活動品嘗咖啡。句中no-money people與D 選項的the poor是同一類人。

3. B細節(jié)理解題。細讀第二段On the other hand...后面的分析可知，人們參與“待用快餐”活動，主要擔心兩件 事:一是擔心有人占小便宜騙吃一頓飯，另一個擔心就 是老板會不會按照約定發(fā)放食物。故選B.

4. B詞義猜測題。畫線短語下文中，分析了“待用快餐”這項慈善活動會有兩種效果，一個就是實實在在地幫助 了那些有困難的人們，另一個結(jié)果就是有些人借此騙 吃騙喝、不勞而獲。這一段分析的是誠信問題。故 trust issue應理解為“誠信問題”，選B.

5. C推理判斷題。本文作者從正反兩個方面分析了活動的利和弊，最后提出了自己的主張，那就是“要相信他們， 把好事做下去”。

障礙句分析

They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch.

他們不知道帶走飯菜的這些人是真的很需要幫助，還是只為了找一份免費的午餐

這是一個復合句。

if意為“是否”，作連詞，連接的是賓 語從句。賓語從句中，taking the meals是分詞短語作后置定 語，修飾people ,意為“拿走快餐的人們”。

They stay indoors most of their time. They watch TV,play computer games and,in some cases (情況) ， even do their homework.
