     It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to
support the Red Cross"s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving
in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures
brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and
people like her."
     The Princess concluded, with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every
opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
     But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which
refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the
press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)".
     The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I"m
trying to do is help."
     Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To
make m atters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess"s trip had been approved by
the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the
British government"s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the
government.
     To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess"s
views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards"
a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation
or misunderstanding."  
     For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity
to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience
had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems.
1. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________.
A. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims 
B. to clarify the British government"s stand on landmines
C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there
D. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines
2. What did Diana mean when she said "... putting a face to those figures brought  the reality home to
     me" (Line 5, Para. 1)?
A. She just couldn"t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.
B. Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.    
C. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.
D. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.
3.What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?
A. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
B. It had caused embarrassment to the British government.
C. It had greatly promoted her popularity.
D. It had affected her relations with the British government.
4. How did Diana respond to the criticisms?

     I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important

     People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly
up and down America"s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And
at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn"t forget that there are hard moments in the
life of a teenager too.
     I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman"s funeral. I didn"t expect the event to affect me.
Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.
     The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: "I want to share a few values that
Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truly attack her, what would Nana say? "oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!" That was Nana. "
     "She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful
businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support
for my grandpa"s career," he said, with a voice now trembling, "That was Nana"s way."
     Through a low sob, he continued, "Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you"d have to hear
about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off."
     Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, "Nana taught me courage. She put
up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was
Nana"s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner."
     There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the
first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven"t learned to be controlled.
When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and best friend, his honest
voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony. He
exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the
patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of
life and death.
     All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say
good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and
the pain never really goes away.
1. In the first paragraph, the writer gave some examples to________ .

3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The boy "s speech moved no one present at the funeral except the writer
B. The boy"s being good at expressing himself enabled him to draw everyone"s attention

D. The writer didn"t expect the event would affect him

     When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
     One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely
shattered mobile home, a depressed expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years
old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching  (紧握)  at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the
camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.
     The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing
interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my
children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our
refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three- year-old Meghan.
     " We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing," I said."We"ll share what we have with
them."
     I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.
Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
     While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of
their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games.
     "I"ll help you find something for the little girl when I"m done with this," I said.
     The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box
with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her
chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy"s flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
     "Oh, Honey," I said."You don"t have to give Lucy. You love her so much."
     Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with held-back tears. ""Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.
Maybe she"ll make that other little girl happy, too."
     Swallowing hard, I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the
lesson she had just taught me. For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their cast-offs away. True
generosity is giving that which you value most.
     Honest benevolence  (善行)  is a three-year-old offering a valuable, though shabby, doll to a little girl
she doesn"t know with the hope that it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. I, who had
wanted to teach, had been taught.
     The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He
hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy.
     A slow smile spread across Brett"s face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some
of his prized Matchbox cars.
     Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan"s gesture meant.
Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.
Taking the cue from my little one, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the
new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did.
     It"s easy to give that which we don"t want any more, but harder to let go of things we cherish, isn"t it?
However, the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart..
1. Why does the author give a detailed description of a particular picture in the Sunday newspaper?
A. To create an atmosphere of fear and depression brought by the tornado.
B. To appeal to unconcerned people to donate for the poor families.
C. To show the helplessness and hopelessness of the family mentioned in the paper.
D. To stress what touched her and made her decide to help the hopeless family.
2. Why did Brad and Brett also donate their favorite things finally?
A. They were encouraged to donate some valuable things by the mother.
B. Meghan"s decision inspired them to donate their favorite things.
C. They also wanted to show generosity by giving away their valuable things.
D. Meghan"s gesture reminded them to replace their favorite things with new ones.
3. By " swallowing hard", the writer means that   _   _ .
A. she was deeply puzzled by what the little girl did
B. she had trouble persuading Meghan not to give away Lucy
C. she was greatly moved by Meghan"s unexpected decision
D. she was uncertain what consequences Meghan"s action would bring about
4. It is suggested in the sentence "the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart" that ______.
A. sincere donation means offering help to others whole-heartedly
B. true giving means giving others what you treasure most
C. true generosity means helping others at the cost of your own benefit
D. honest benevolence means devoting yourself to the career of donation
5. What"s the best title for this passage?
A. The Greatest Love                  
B. A Beautiful Heart
C. True Generosity                    
D. A Precious Gift
