There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular（土话）—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane（车道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan （about US $700）.
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（摆脱贫困）projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.
B．The increasing awareness of environmental protection.
C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.
D．The lifestyle of green collars.
小题2:Green collars will     after work.
A．prefer to be left alone
B．have fun with old friends
C．think nothing about work and more
D．do a lot of extra work at home
小题3:What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A．Appreciative.B．Doubtful.C．Negative.D．Neutral.
小题4:The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are        .
A．in heavy polluted areas B．in faraway places
C．in a poor state of educationD．in unfavourable conditions

I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What is a good person?
At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about thirty—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.
So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up some toy, and his father said to him, “No, no－give him your favorite toy.”
And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”
And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.
What do you think happened?
After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face radiant (喜气洋洋). “Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”
I think I have got the answer to the question.
小题1:From the passage, we can learn that in Mexico ________.
A．begging is looked down upon
B．begging is considered as a normal part of life
C．visitors all over the world treat beggars kindly
D．few people are living a poor life
小题2:The sentence “can I do that again?” showed that the boy ________.
A．got pleasure by helping the little beggar
B．wanted to please his father
C．began to like the little beggar
D．wanted to be the little beggar’s friend
小题3:According to the writer, being a good person means ________.
A．having the courage to correct his/her mistakes
B．being friendly to beggars
C．being ready to give
D．being able to teach children to tell right from wrong

This young student has great talent. He should be  41  every help and encouragement in his career as an artist. He has a hopeful future if he will work and stick to it.”
Rossetti could see that the old man was  42  moved.“Who is this fine young   artist？” he asked.“Your son？” “No,” said the old man sadly.“It was I  43  painted the pictures forty years ago.  44  I had heard your praise then！For you see, I got discouraged and 45  drawing—too soon.”
