Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising.
One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available."
1.Which is NOT TRUE about the operation?
A.It costs nothing. B.The right medical volunteers perform it.
C.The operation is easy. D.It takes many hours.
2.Smile Train is a charity which________.
A.provides food and medical care for poor children
B.raises money for all the doctors working in the UK.
C.offers free medical help to children with the facial defect
D.gives children without parents a new hope and a new beginning
3.The underlined word "abandoned" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A.given up B.dressed up C.called up D.brought up
4.What did the doctor from the UK think of his volunteer work?
A.Dangerous B.Surprising C.Relaxing D.Valuable
5.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.children with the facial defect are becoming more ashamed than before.
B.more doctors are trained to help children with the facial defect.
C.fewer baby boys with the facial defect are operated on than girls.

It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity(慈善) and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.
February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; …
While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日）. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card — to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.
1.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A.writing thank-you notes B.putting the phone away
C.taking the train back home D.raising money for charity
2.How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?
A.Shy and surprised. B.Pleased and relaxed.
C.Nervous and excited. D.Moved and encouraged.
3.The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A.photos B.family C.holidays D.community
4.What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A.Many thanks from her neighbors. B.More time to appreciate her own life.
C.More help from people around her. D.Happy moments to be with her friends.
5.The best title for the passage can be ________.
A.My Thank You Year B.An Amazing Trip
C.Happiness inside Us D.Important People in Our Life

There are millions of charities in the UK. In fact, you can hardly think of any good business that doesn’t have a charity linked (联系的) to it.
The British people are so generous with charities. A lot of people are quite prepared to donate money to charities, even when they are short of money themselves. There are many reasons why people give money to charities. Sometimes it’s a personal reason, say their parents died of cancer so they give money to cancer research, or of a religious reason. Many religions (宗教) encourage their followers to donate a part of their income (收入) to the poor. Many religious people feel it is their duty to help others as part of their faith (信仰). Still, other people just give donations because they have some spare money and they think it is a good thing to do.
Many people think it is necessary to give donations to charities because they wish to make the lives and situations of those in need better.
The British government has made it quite easy for people to give money to charity as you can pay through your payroll (工资单). So when you get your salary, you automatically (自动地) get some money taken out and give it to charity. Some people have some money taken out to give to charities, such as Save the Children Fund, thinking it is a good way to save children around the world.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The UK. B. The religion. C. A business. D. A charity.
2.According to Paragraph 2, the number of reasons why the British people are generous with charities is _______.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
3. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. charities in the UK
B. the history of the charities in the UK
C. the generous and kind people in the UK
D. the relationship between the British government and charities

Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called“The World Journey of Hope”. 5,000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.
