When a rather dirty,poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins,do you hurry on,not knowing what to do,or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly,most of the world's great religions (宗教) order us to be openhearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suf?fered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give anything to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable,but actually make a good living from begging. Giving things to. beggars only encourages this sort of evil (惡行) .Secondly,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer,wine or drugs. Thirdly,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor,but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and selfdependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government and ask for help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion. There are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations,and even if the money is wasted,that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

When we were seniors,we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown,and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends,that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor,and I was going for business on a football scholar?ship. Kyle was valedictorian (致告別辭的人) of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd (書呆子) .He had to prepare a speech for gradu?ation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived ― I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him！

Boy,sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So,I smacked (拍打) him on the back and said, "Hey,big guy,you'll be great！"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech,he cleared his throat,and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents,your teachers,your siblings (兄弟姐妹) ，maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." .

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. " Thankfully,I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeaka?ble."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome,popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate (對(duì).... 估計(jì)不足) the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

(   ) 6. What does the underlined phrase "filled out" in the passage really mean?

   C. I realized the meaning of the friendship between us at that moment.

Expensive：The cost of finding love is,on average,two inner circle friends,scientists have found.

Ever found yourself dumped (度棄的) by a friend embarking (著手，開始做) on a romance? Don't worry,you're probably not the only one. For according to Oxford University scientists,every time we start a relationship we jettison (拋棄，丟棄) two of our closest friends.

Most of us simply don't have enough time for intimate (密切的) friendships with more than four or five people,their research shows.

And a new love interest leads to two friends being pushed out of the inner circle.

Professor Robin Dunbar,one of Britain's leading experts in evolutionary biology,ex?plained："If you go into a romantic relationship it actually costs you two friends in that inner core of relationships."

"Instead of having the typical five friends,they only have four in that inner circle. And bearing in mind that one of those is the new person that has come into your life,it means you have to give up two others."

Men tend to have four or five intimate friends,women five or six,he said.

However,men were just as likely to jettison friends at the start of a new romantic attach?ment (情感) as women,found the study of those aged 18 to 60.

"Your attention is so wholly focused on the romantic partners,you just don't get to see the other folks you had a lot to do with before”，the professor told the British Science Festival in Birmingham. " Those relationships start to deteriorate."

But it's not just romance that can push out close friends,he explained. Children or buying a dog can have the same effect.

"You can only have five slots (位置) for deeply intense and meaningful relations. Those in?dividuals don't have to be human. They can be your dog or your favourite chrysanthemum (菊花) plant. They can be people in an entirely fictional world,they can be soap opera characters. They can be God or they can be saints."

(   ) 5. Which of these behaviors can't we jettison our cldse friends?

   A. Giving a birth to a baby. B. Planting some flowers.

   C. Raising a puppy. D. Living the normal life.

(   ) 6. What does the underlined sentence really mean?

   A. Men,as well as women,are likely to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

   B. Men but not women are likely to push out close friends at very beginning of a new romance.

   C. Women don't do like man to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

   D. Both men and women are not likely to behave the same.

(   ) 7. According to the context,guess the meaning of the underlined word "deteriorate".

   A. Grow worse. B. Become better. C. Go upward. D. Turn down.

(   ) 8. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

   A. Only with humans can one maintain deeply intense and meaningful relations.

   B. Dogs and planting some chrysanthemum can't make one push out close friends.

   C. Limited slots for deep relations and easy to be occupied.

   D. The more slots you have,the more intense and meaningful relations you get.

"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right ," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audi?ence for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion,it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (讓人愉快) ，Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said ' Nonsense,Mollie,dear,you'll be a writer. ' So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood in?evitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with butter?cup meadows and strawberry fields―sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said, "I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village black?smith at work. And that's important,because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them,as it did for us."

(   ) 5. What does Mollie Hunter's opinion about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

(   ) 6. In Mollie Hunter's viewpoint,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.

(   ) 7. In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that modern children are

   A. more intelligent   B. better informed

   C. less eager to learn   D. less interested in reality

(   ) 8. What's the writer's purpose in writing this text?

   A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.

   B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

   C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.

   D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.
