A
Everywhere I go, people are speaking on their cell telephones regardless of their surroundings (环境) . This happens when people are walking around a lake or through town, or even driving. I have even seen a person attempting to speak on her cell phone while ordering ice cream at Dairy Queen, thus speaking to two people at once.
As the over-spending of technology increases, people begin to take less joy in the simple pleasures of life—joys that don’t cost money—from observing clouds, playing with children to thinking or reading. And it is not just telephones that take the responsibility; too much value is placed on items (物品) from computers to cars. Many things are purchased (购买) merely(仅仅) to show off. Do you really need a cell phone that plays games, shows movies and takes pictures? No, cell phones should be purchased to use in urgent situations.You do not need to use your telephone when you are at someone else’s house or in a restaurant.
Technology and possessions (财产) do not bring joy. While some technology is necessary, it can get ridiculous(可笑的). Each possession just makes us want more, while simple pleasures can be enjoyed now and then.
Instead of spending our time buying a third television or looking into the newest cell phone models, we should be acting more productively to improve the world by volunteering, for example. Or, we should reconsider playing computer games or taking pictures on our cell phones and read a book or imagine what shapes the clouds are in the sky instead.
小题1:The author mentions cell phones at the beginning just to show _________.| A．they can be used on any occasion. | | B．people manage to speak to two at a time. | | C．they can put drivers in great danger. | | D．people are fond of personal items. |
小题2:People have less joy of simple life nowadays mainly because they _________.| A．focus on technology and their belongings. | | B．use cell phones in less urgent situations. | | C．buy private cars just to show off. | | D．place too much value on computers. |
小题3:We can infer that ________.| A．people have no time to play with their children. | | B．we can take pleasure in using cell phones at any time. | | C．people always desire more possessions. | | D．we depend on volunteers to develop the world. |

It’s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating one’s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor， the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach youngsters how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages（孤儿院）to help children without parents.
High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program， or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism（理想主义）students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.
In a like manner， throughout the year，fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country， a flood somewhere within their own， or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food， clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of ‘trick or treat’has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.
The motive to help those less fortunate comes from the poor origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden（受压迫的）became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.
American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad， which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.
小题1: Which of the following charitable activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?| A．Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people. | | B．Some students bring meals to old people who can’t go out easily. | | C．Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake. | | D．Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas. |
小题2: Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?| A．Because they want to participate in some social activities. | | B．Because they want to go to better universities. | | C．Because they can get higher scores at school. | | D．Because they can realize their dream sooner. |
小题3:The underlined word “destitute” in Paragraph 4 probably means .| A．lifeless | B． penniless | C．useless | D．valueless |
小题4: American charitable activities started because ___________.| A．Americans are always ready to share with others | | B．Americans are mostly kind | | C．poor immigrants needed help badly | | D．poor Americans couldn’t live on without help |
小题5: What’s the best title of the passage?| A．The Call from the Poor | B．Voluntary Work in the US | | C．Ways to help the Poor | D．American Volunteers Around the World |
