20.Last Thursday,Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis.The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception,they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.
The idea came from the bridegroom's father,Ted,who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization.For the past few years,the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters.He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son,who was surprised by the suggestion,but soon won over.When he told that to the bride,she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need.They love to share their food,their table and everything they have.And afterwards she was quite amazed about it.So,they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).
On Tuesday evening,the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good."It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,"Michael said."Hopefully,this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."
21.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?B
A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.
 B.To escape the damaging earthquake.
C.To support the organization.
D.To help distribute free daily meals.
22.How did the couple celebrate their wedding?C
A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.
B.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.
C.They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.
D.They took photos with the grateful victims.
23.What does the underlined word"approached"in Paragraph 2mean?A
A.consulted with     
B.moved towards       
C.came across        
D.took in
24.We can know from the text thatD.
A.Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him
B.Ted was a representative of the organization
C.Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard it
D.Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern Turkey.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.

I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring(誘惑)in the people I love.Stop hurting me,please.

Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

8.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour:walking cautiously to the woods,then running back to the house.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I leaned in to spy on him,I saw the most amazing sight.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion,lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God,Himself,was weeping with pride.
21.Why did the author follow her son?D
A.Because there might be danger.
B.Because her son was doing a good deed.
C.Because she intended to help.
D.Because she was curious.

MOOCs add to a tradition of what is known as distance learning.For years,many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online.MOOCs are available in subjects like comlmter science,engineering or mechanics.Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities(人文學(xué)科)be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada.He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs.Scott Anderson says,"There are pails that will be tine,insofar as mostly when students listen to a lecture.there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it."Mr.Anderson says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers.He says two ways to deal with this are.by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St.John Fisher College in New York.She says online education has some weaknesses for her subjects.
She says,"What's lost in online education is face-to-face interaction.And that old-fashioned approuch is not going to be replaced very quickly by computer-aided instrnction."Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments,blogs and discussion groups.But she believes that hybrid courses work best.She describes hybrids as mixing face-to-face course elements with computer-aided teaching and writing proiects.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown.He sees good value in online education.He noted a strong sense of communitv in an online ciyrse he once took.He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
71.MOOCs are more popular in the world becauseD.
