    Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. 
    As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. 
    At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. 
    “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her. 
    “Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work. 
    Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. 
    After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. 
    Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

    I once did a year of voluntary service in a residential home for people with learning disabilities. It was set in an English village deep in the countryside, quite different from my home in Sweden. One of my fellow volunteers, a girl from Tanzania, seemed a little unhappy, so I asked what the problem was. She told me she had a friend back home who had financial difficulties and maybe it was impossible for her to complete her university courses.
    So this friend of mine had sent all her money to Tanzania to support her friend! This meant that she didn't have much food to eat and no money to go anywhere outside the village.
    I was so touched and I felt I had to do something. So, during my next trip to one of the nearby towns I walked into a shop. I didn’t have much money left myself but I thought I'd buy her an extra box of chocolate we both liked and some rice. I started talking to the woman（also a volunteer）working in the shop and eventually told her about my friend.
    The woman looked at me, amazed. “Does she eat pasta?” she asked. “Yes,” I replied. She immediately started loading a bag with pasta, cookies, and other things until the bag was full. “Give her this for me. It’s my treat!’’ I couldn’t believe it but accepted with happiness. As I left the shop to go home with my unexpected bag of food, I asked the woman her name. “Just Gloria,” she said.
    Imagine my friend’s face when I arranged the gifts on my kitchen table and fetched her from her room to see! I had never seen her so happy! A few weeks later she found Gloria in the shop and thanked her in person.
    These two extraordinary women really showed me what true kindness and compassion（同情）are, and the impression will stay with me for the rest of my life!
    小题1:The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to    .
    A．the shop
    B．the writer's home
    C．the residential home
    D．a year of voluntary service
    小题2:Why did the girl from Tanzania seem a little unhappy?
    A．Because she had to stop her voluntary work.
    B．Because she had no money to buy food or other things.
    C．Because she had spent all her money on food and clothes.
    D．Because her friend in Tanzania maybe had to quit school for lack of money.
    小题3:Why did the writer help the girl from Tanzania?
    A．Because the writer was a volunteer.
    B．Because they lived in the same room.
    C．Because the writer was moved by her kind act.
    D．Because the writer didn’t wish she went hungry.
    小题4:From the text, we know that    .
    A．the writer was from England
    B．the writer was a university student from Tanzania
    C．Gloria was from Sweden and was very kind to the writer
    D．the writer volunteered to help people with learning disabilities

    In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.
    Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
    Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
    That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
    The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
    “My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
    Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.
    小题1:Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.
    A．most of her hair had fallen out
    B．she was receiving treatment for cancer
    C．she felt depressed and quit from school
    D．she was suffering from a pain in her back
    小题2:What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?
    A．It helps young patients record songs.
    B．It is supported by singers and patients.
    C．It aims to replace the medical treatment.
    D．It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.
    小题3:What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?
    A．Most children are naturally fond of music.
    B．He was brave enough to put up performance.
    C．The project has positive effect on young patients.
    D．Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.
    小题4:What is probably the best title for the passage?
    A．Purple Songs Can Fly
    B．Singing Can Improve Health
    C．A Shining Moment in Life
    D．A Kind Woman—Anita Kruse

    His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
    On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
    Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
    But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
    For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
    Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
    “Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
    As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
    小题1:When was Mandela arrested? 
    A．In 1963B．In 1990
    C．When he refused to be a chiefD．When he became the president
    小题2:Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _______.     
    A．winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
    B．Uniting South Africa
    C．organizing a government in South Africa
    D．controlling the spread of AIDS
    小题3:If Nelson Mandela hadn’t fought against racial discrimination, he_______. 
    A．could have been the president of South Africa
    B．could still have lived a happy life
    C．could have been in a difficult situation
    D．would have been an excellent boxer
    小题4:Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?
    A．struggle is his life
    B．sports make his fame
    C．fight for equal rights
    D．a great fighter against government.

    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke（补充） out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog (沼泽地).
