Whenever we hear about “the homeless,”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the
36
is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a
37
country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making
38
for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first
39
one long hot summer when most Germans were
40
on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,
41
a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t
42
. “What these people also need is warmth and
43
,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t
44
to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita
45
there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always
46
to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon
47
all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to
48
donations. Today, over thirty companies
49
donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help
to
50
them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer
51
new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no
52
for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t
53
money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets
54
,she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a
55
in the world.

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper--a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in
Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
56. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
A. It's small in size.
B. It's hidden in trees.
C. It's covered with wax.
D. It's hard to recognize.
57. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A bee.
B. A bird.
C. A honey seeker.
D. A beekeeper.
58. The honey guide is special in the way ______.
A. it gets its food
B. it goes to church
C. it sings in the forest
D. it reaches into bees' nests
59. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Wild Bees
B. Wax and Honey
C. Beekeeping in Africa
D. Honey-Lover's Helper

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast (對(duì)比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue,clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
60. Who is the author?
A. A cameraman.
B. .A film director.
C. A crowd-scene actor.
D. A workman for scene setting.
61. What made the author feel cold?
A. The heavy snowfall.
B. The man-made scene.
C. The low temperature.
D. The film being shown.
62. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. A new scene would be filmed.
B. More stars would act in the film.
C. The author would leave the studio.
D. The next scene would be prepared.
C
Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契約)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(傾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust .We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
63. Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A. He was lonely on the road.
B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long.
D. He came across too many traffic lights.
64. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A. Stopping still.
B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars.
D. Checking out for traffic police.
65. The event made the author strongly believe that _______.
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary
B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers
D. a society needs mutual trust
66. Why was the author proud of himself?
A. He kept his promise.
B. He held back his anger.
C. He followed his inclination.
D. He made a right decision.
D
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star", or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
