Rachel lived in a small town in America. She always wanted to help others when she was young. At the age of 5, she learned about an organization named Locks of Love. It uses hair donations to make wigs (假發(fā)) for children who have    1   their hair because of cancer or other illnesses. Rachel then asked her mother to cut her long hair and send    2   to the organization.
At 8, she learned that other children had no clean    3   in Africa, and she was shocked. When her school began    4   money to build wells (井) there, she asked her parents to    5  holding her birthday party. Also, she asked her friends each to donate $9 to the project in Africa    6   giving her birthday presents.
One year later, it was her    7   birthday on June 12. She made a    8   page on the Internet with a goal of $300. However, Rachel was able to raise only $200. This made her a little    9  .
Unluckily, Rachel was badly hurt in an accident    10   eight days. That was a terrible shock to her friends. They wanted to find some ways of showing    11   to her. They began donating on Rachel’s birthday page. Donations    12   her $300 goal quickly and kept rising.
When it was clear that she would    13   come back to herself（蘇醒）, her parents donated her organs (器官) to other children. They also donated her hair a    29   time to Locks of Love.
More    14   was being raised. The total donations soon reached $100,000, then $300,000. So far more than $850,000 has been raised from all over the world, including donations from the Africans who are moved (感動(dòng)) by the little American girl.

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.
An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others'. An unpunctual person is always saying unhappily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.
Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect (不尊重_) towards others. If a person is invited to
dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests (客人)
waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.
Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can't do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
小題1:The Chinese meaning of the word "punctual" in this passage is probably “      ”.                                                                      
A．聽話的B．守時(shí)的C．守紀(jì)律的D．能干的
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．An unpunctual person often has more time.
B．An unpunctual person has more work to do.
C．A punctual person often has a busy life.
D．A punctual person often does his work wonderfully.
小題3:When you are invited to dinner, you'd better arrive there        .
A．in a hurryB．a(chǎn)fter the host
C．a(chǎn)t the decided timeD．before other guests
小題4:From the passage, we learn that an unpunctual man usually          in the end.
A．saves time for others
B．leaves his family and friends
C．gets his chances and knowledge
D．loses his time and good name

Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. 
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(產(chǎn)品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design（設(shè)計(jì)）new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. 
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.
小題1:What’s Verity’s opinion about colours?
A．Colours help people choose products.
B．Different people prefer different colours.
C．Colours have influences on people in many ways.
D．People working in colour industry know little about colours.
小題2:What can you infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Colours influence people’s feelings and opinions.
B．People get ideas for new products from colours.
C．New products are popular because of colours.
D．Most companies prefer bright colours.
小題3:The underlined part “goes out of her way” probably means ______.
A．feels very pleased
B．makes a special effort
C．goes on in her own way
D．carries on very slowly
小題4: What’s the passage mainly about?
A．How people use colours.
B．How colours influence people.
C．What happens in a programme.
D．What makes a programme believable.
