（A）

Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.

Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was

just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.

When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.

After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”

In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.

Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the

American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies. 1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was _____. A. honest C. talented

B. caring D. modest

2. After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _____.

A. joined the army and fought bravely B. went to Europe for further study

C. continued to work as a teacher D. did a lot to help soldiers 3. Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _____. A. excited and grateful C. shy and nervous

（B）

Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say.

Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones. While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy, the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said, “Whatever the reason is, actively working on friendships in

B. proud and joyful D. sad and sorry

the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite (必备条件) to happiness.” Dr. Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed (询问) more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. In other words, they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends, according to the study, which was carried out for the National Lottery (彩票).

For women, this meant having 33 friends; for men, the number was 49. Dr. Tunney said, “People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships. Interestingly, the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners, however, have a different opinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time.

1. What’s the best title for this passage?

A. The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends. B. Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy.

C. Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly. D. Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different.

2. Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?

A. People with few friends are sure to be unhappy. B. Our friends can make us happy.

C. Happiness may come from a good marriage life. D. We may become happier if we have more friends. 3. According to the passage, lottery winners ________. A. enjoy making new friends B. make new friends easily C. like staying with old friends D. have no time to make friends

七、读后续写

Alex Dryuba, 31, who runs his own IT firm, recently moved to New York with his family due to work. For nearly three weeks, Alex and his

wife, Kelly, were busy cleaning and decorating the new home to make it cozy for the kids. They have three cute children: two-year-old Anne, six-year-old Vicky, and Isabelle, 11. Anne often sits on the windowsill (窗台) of her sixth floor bedroom, where she likes to play with her toys. There is a variety of toys and dolls for the little girl. The window, overlooking Mosholu Avenue in Riverdale, was never open and her mom Kelly thought that Anne was too small to work the latch (插销). However, Alex insisted that when things settled down, they should notify the homeowner that they needed window guards and safety bars to protect Anne and Vicky.

One rainy evening, Anne accompanied by Isabelle was playing with her toys in her bedroom as usual, while their mother busied herself with doing the housework. Anne and Isabelle shared the small bedroom, where Anne’s name is painted in rainbow colors on the wall. After a while, Isabelle wanted to listen to the rain — so she opened the window. Minutes later, Isabelle felt a bit hungry and left the room for a moment to get a slice of pizza from the dining table, leaving Anne alone. Instantly, she heard a thundering sound and the cries of her younger sister coming from five floors below.

Isabelle turned pale and realized something went wrong. She rushed into the bedroom, looked out of the window and saw Anne was on the awning (雨篷) over the entrance to the building. Her heart sank and she

felt so scared that she screamed. Hearing her daughter’s screams from a room away, Kelly ran into Anne’s room and was too shocked to speak. “It’s all my fault, Mom. I shouldn’t have opened that window,” Isabelle cried hard. It felt like a nightmare but Kelly managed to keep calm. “We need to go downstairs to get Anne down from the awning, the sooner the better!” 注意：

七、读后续写：

Kelly rushed down to the sidewalk but couldn’t reach her crying daughter. Then an idea struck her. She hurried upstairs and knocked on the door of the neighbor on the second floor, with Isabelle following closely behind. Hearing what had happened, the neighbor let them in and joined the rescue. From the window opened next to the awning they were able to reach out and carefully pull the crying girl inside. Kelly held Anne in her arms tightly and examined if she was hurt. She was pretty shocked

to find that Anne only had a bruise on her right arm.

“She’s the luckiest kid in the world,” said the neighbor. She had miraculously survived a five-story fall and landed on an awning outside the building. No broken bones, no other serious injuries. Kelly and Isabelle were both glad that the little girl was alive and alright. They extended sincere gratitude to the neighbor and hurriedly sent Anne to hospital for a further examination. After that, Kelly called the landlord for safety bars to prevent the tragedy from occurring again.
