At church we had a speaker . He talked about how churches in Africa built schools and houses for the poor people , but they needed more money to buy foods . The speaker said ,“ Can’t we all give away some money to help those poor people ?” We looked at each other and smiled for the first time in a week .
Mom reached into her purse and pulled out the envelope . She passed it to Darlene , Darlene gave it to me , and I put it into the offering .
When the offering was counted , the minister announced that it was a little over 500 dollars . The speaker was excited . He hadn’t expected such a large offering from our small church . He said ,＂ You must have some rich people in this church .” Suddenly it struck us ! We had given 420dollars of that “ little over 500 dollars .“

When I was a kid, the Easter (复活节) holidays in Australia were my favorite time of the year. As soon as they began in April, my family would head straight to the beach for a weekend of camping.
Unlike most of the world, Easter falls in autumn in Australia. This means that Easter is our last chance to enjoy the warm weather, swim in the ocean and sleep in the bush under the stars.
We’d pitch our tents(帐篷) on clear patches of grass and look out onto an almost empty beach. Often we were the only ones camping and the whole beach would be ours alone.
We used to spend all day outside – swimming, hiking and fishing. On Easter morning, my parents would wake up early and plan an Easter egg hunt for my three brothers and me. They would hide the eggs in the strangest places – in abandoned(废弃的) bird nests in the trees, under our tents and in every corner of the stones that surround(环绕着) the beach.
In Australia, instead of chocolate bunnies, we had chocolate bilbies (兔耳袋狸). Bilbies are Australian animals with long ears. Chocolate bilbies were the best treat to find and there was always one for each of us.
But sometimes, other animals found them first, and all we’d find were brightly colored wrappers(包装袋) with animal tooth marks.
After the hunt we would come back to the campsite with our bellies (肚子) full of chocolate. For us, Easter wasn’t about chocolate eggs or religious tradition. It was about being with our family in the great outdoors.
1.The writer loved Easter because ___________.
A. she enjoyed a great time out with her family
B. she could get up late during the holidays
C. she could eat eggs on that day
D. it was the most important holiday of the year
2.Which of the following is TRUE of Easter in Australia?
A. It falls in spring.
B. Many animals come out that day.
C. It’s different from that in other countries.
D. It’s about the rebirth of Jesus.
3.The writer usually had _________ during Easter holidays.
A. chocolate bunnies B. chocolate eggs
C. chocolate bilbies D. chocolate bars
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Holidays in Australia.
B. Easter celebrations in Australia.
C. The history of Australian Easter.
D. Australian traditions.

Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（职业的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
1.Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A．hard B．colourful C．easy D．rich
2.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________
A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
3.Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A．Because she thought they never said anything good.
B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
4.In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A．silent B．modest C．talkative D．trouble-making
5.Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?
A．My Unlucky Childhood B．A Storyteller’s Childhood
C．My Kind Grandmother D．More talking leads to success
