Spread of Ebola

Ebola began in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The World Health Organization reported that more than 20,000 people might have been infected (感染). Thousands of children lost their parents because of the illness and millions more no longer attended school.

Ebola got worldwide attention when international medical workers in West Africa became infected and returned home for treatment. The spread of Ebola led to worldwide efforts to develop new medicine. The international community raised money and workers to deal with it. However, about 8,000 people have died from Ebola so far and doctors expect many more deaths.

Fear of flying

In early March, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. The plane carried 239 people. It was flying from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur. Nine months later, the plane remains lost though China has been searching from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean.

In July, Malaysia Airlines had another accident. A missile (导弹) hit Flight 17 as it flew over Ukraine. All 298 passengers and crew (全体工作人员) were killed.

A few days later, a TransAsia Airways plane crashed (坠毁) in bad weather in Taiwan, China. Forty-eight people were killed. The next day, July 24, there was another terrible plane crash. An Air Algerie flight crashed in northern Mali killing all 116 people on the plane.

Suspended (待用的) Coffee

This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.

One day, my friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, "Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended." They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend: "What are those 'suspended' coffees?" Instead of giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I still wondered what the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view in front of the coffee house. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar(乞丐) came into the coffee house. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple — people pay the coffee in advance(预先) for someone who can't afford it. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. Meanwhile, I understood suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

1.How many cups of coffee did the two young men order?

A．One. B．Four. C．Five. D．Seven.

2.Who ordered a suspended coffee ?

A．My friend. B．Two girls. C．Three lawyers. D．A poor man.

3.The tradition with the suspended coffee started in ______.

A．America B．Italy C． England D．Canada

4.The writer wants to tell us to ______.

A．pay for others B．enjoy the sunshine

C．help someone in need D．order more than before

The Lake

The day when Robert was born was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be married to me. My little boy and I had to part, only getting to see each other every ________ weekend.

One day, I decided to go fishing with my son, who was about 5 years old, at a nearby lake. We arrived at the lake early. Getting out of the car, we brought out all of the fishing equipment and our life jackets and the cooler that had our tasty lunch in it. I could just ________ the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end. We both went out onto the dock（船坞）and I thought, “Do I put his life jacket on first or load the boat first?” I saw him skipping rocks on the water, so I decided to load the boat first.

I was just finishing up when I heard the splash. I turned and looked quickly expecting to see Robert ________ standing there, but I did not see him anywhere. I jumped into the water to save my son immediately. I searched and searched but found him nowhere. I came up for a breath hoping to see him above water, now wondering how I could find him in the murky（浑浊的）water. I finally decided to go all the way to the bottom and ________ around, not coming up until I found him.

Finally, there on the bottom he was, his arms wrapped around the wooden pole that holds up the dock. I brought him to the ________ and put him on the bank. While both of us were coughing and spitting out water, I just hugged him and was ________ that I had found him in time.

When things finally calmed down, I asked one simple question, “Robert, why were you ________ onto that pole on the bottom of the lake?” He looked at me with the most innocent and loving eyes and simply replied, “I was waiting for you, Daddy. I knew you would come to ________ me.”

I thought that I could not be any ________ or any madder at the same time and I just told him, “I sure do love you, sweetheart.” He replied, “I love you too, Dad.”

There is no amount of money or cars or jobs or any material thing that could replace being loved and ________ someone so much. I am lucky to have the ability to love on such a high level, and the ability to forgive on the same level.
