6.Shaving all of your hair off isn't an easy thing to do.
But it's just what several dozen Americans choose to do each year to support friends and family with cancer who often don't have a choice but to go bald because of the effects of treatment.This year the popular Bald is Beautiful fundraiser(募捐)was held in New Hampshire on March 13.
Some say going bald is the least they can do for friends with cancer.
"I don't think hair decides who we are,but it's certainly something we're very protective of",said Rebecca Pratt,a nurse at Cheshire Medical Center in New Hampshire.
Pratt,is no stranger to a"shiny dome(圓頂)",as she calls it.She first went bald as a part of the fundraiser team at the hospital six years ago.At the time,her hair was down to the middle of her back,she said.
The team called"Andrea's Angels"was formed in honor of Cheshire Medical Center employee Andrea Smith,who died of cancer.
Last year,Bald is Beautiful events in the area raised about﹩40,000.The money goes toward basic requirements for cancer patients,including painkillers,gas money and groceries.It helps to reduce some of the financial burdens that come with illness.
Pratt said the act of shaving it all off can be emotional,but it's always worth it.
"It's intimidating in the very beginning to think of losing all your hair,"she said.But she added that any anxiety she might have about shaving her head is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to deal with.

解答 32-35 BDAB
32題答案:B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第五段的She first went bald as a part of the fundraiser team at the hospital six years ago.為了成為資金募集者團隊的一份子,六年前她第一次把頭發(fā)剃光.可知本題答案為B選項.
33題答案:D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段的The money goes toward basic requirements for cancer patients,including painkillers,gas money and groceries.錢用于癌癥患者的基本需求,包括止痛藥、汽油錢以及食品.可知本題答案為D選項.
34題答案:A考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章最后一段的最后一句But she added that any anxiety she might have about shaving her head is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to deal with.但是她又補充到剃光頭可能帶來的任何焦慮與癌癥病人所要應(yīng)付的比起來什么都不是.可知前面劃線單詞的意思是"焦慮的;惶恐的",故只有A選項與之含義最近.
35題答案:B考查主旨大意,本文主要講的是一個為癌癥患者募集資金而剃光頭的募集行動.故本題答案為B選項.
