Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty, and a stench (惡臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百萬富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意義的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
【小題1】The neighbor called the police because ______.

A．the old man kept begging money from them every day
B．there was something dangerous in the old man’s house
C．the old man wouldn’t buy tickets for the train
D．they couldn’t bear the smell from the old man’s house
【小題2】When the old man knew he was a millionaire, he ______.
A．remained calmB．became excited
C．felt worriedD．became nervous
【小題3】What lesson do we learn from the story?
A．Make great plans for your life.
B．Keep on doing what you like.
C．Do something that is good to society.
D．Depend on yourself rather than others.

 Do you know the open-air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably -not. Not many  Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.

     Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) that helps homeless people get  back on their feet by becoming tour guides.

     Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours" take people off the beaten track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.

     When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network "The Sock Mob" gave Henri hope. "Not everyone just looked down on me," he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.

     An innovative(創(chuàng)新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.

     According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self-confidence and developing self-pride.

     Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to "have a bit of confidence". He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at the time, he was "seen to be unable to read or write", and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of "student" is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts（被遺棄者）

     Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players-men and women-who are, or have been, living in the streets.  It gives them a chance to become football heroes.

1.The underlined part "take people off the beaten track" means "take people to______.”

A. famous galleries                          B. traditional sights

C. unusual places                            D. public benches

2.How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?

A. By training them to be guides

B. By offering them different courses.

C. By keeping in contact with them.

D. By asking more students to help them.

3.At the age of 12, Steve _______ .

A. wasn't treated as a normal student

B. had much confidence in himself

C. didn't want to study at school

D. left school because of depression

4.The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people _______.

A. become football stars                     B. improve life skills

C. gain self-confidence                      D. find proper jobs

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Confidence Back Now.                    B. London Tour.

C. The Popular Homeless.                    D. Football Heroes.

The “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs --- the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:

women are helped more than men;

men help more than women;

attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.

Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.

         According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:

“Shifting of responsibility” --- the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.

“Fear of making a mistake” --- situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.

“Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”

Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow.”

Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety. These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”

60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

         A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.

         B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.

         C. Religious people are more likely to look on.

         D. Criminals are more likely to harm women.

61. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?

         A. Sex.               B. Nationality.                    C. Profession.                     D. Setting.

62. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?

         A. A man is more likely to help than a woman.

         B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.

         C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.

         D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.

63. The author wrote this article _______.

         A. to explain why bystanders behave as they do

         B. to urge people to stand out when in need

         C. to criticize the selfishness of bystanders

         D. to analyze the weakness of human nature
