It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends’ marriage celebrations - flower-filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party？” More often than not, they were thrown away. Law was confident she could find a better use for them.

By August, she had a plan:convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience through being a volunteer in non­profit institutions in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most. “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldn’t possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.

In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. Laëtitia Thélème is a volunteer for Les Petits Fières, an organization that aims to help the elderly who don’t have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is ‘flowers before bread’,” says Thélème. “We don’t focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps us do that. It’s amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”

In the beginning, most of Floranthropie’s donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organization’s Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.

1.What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie?

A.The warm atmosphere of weddings. B.The loneliness of seniors.

C.The persuasion of other friends. D.The waste of flowers.

2.How did the woman feel about Christine Law’s flowers?

A.She was moved. B.She was surprised.

C.She was worried. D.She was excited.

3.What can we infer about Floranthropie from Laëtitia Thélème’s words?

A.It should focus on primary care.

B.It is doing something of great importance.

C.It is benefiting more than the elderly.

D.It should cooperate with more non­profit institutions.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Volunteer Your Time B.Don’t Throw Flowers Away

C.Brighten Seniors’ Lives with Flowers D.Special Delivery Makes Your Day

Our class joined in a meaningful activity during the winter vacation. First, we went to visit the old lady who lived all alone. Some chatted with her while others help do a thorough cleaning for us. When the work was done, the house looked real neat and tidy. Then we went to the sport center, where all equipment needed polished. We set out to work at once. At no time everything was dust-free. Having done all this, we saw a pleasant community than before. Tiring as we were, we felt happy as all of our work was paid off.

After a Blockbuster store in Australia closes on March 31, the American city of Bend, Oregon will have the only one left on Earth.

For years, Blockbuster was a big name in the video rental business. The company had thousands of stores in the United States and around the world. But Blockbuster began to lose money during the 2000s. By 2014, all company-owned stores had closed. Since then, locally owned Blockbusters have closed, one by one.

Operating the last Blockbuster Video on Earth is not easy. The computer system uses old disks that only the store’s general manager knows how to use. The video rentals are recorded on a kind of aging tape. The tape cannot be replaced because Radio Shack, another once famous store, went out of business.

Sandi Harding has worked at the Blockbuster in Bend for over 15 years and is the store’s general manager. She says “stubbornness” is part of the reason the store is still open. “We did everything we could to cut costs and keep ourselves relevant,” she said.

Zeke Kamm lives in Bend. He is making a documentary about the store with his friend. He notes that many people who rented videos over the years want to share memories of their experiences Kamm explained how Blockbuste were once an important part of small town in America. The Blockbuster was the only place that was open past nine at night, and a lot of them stayed open much later.

Recently, Harding has noticed that more children are coming to the store, brought in by their parents who like remembering the past. Jerry Gilless and his wife, Elizabeth, on a trip to Oregon, recently brought their two children, aged 3 and 5, to the store in Bend. They watched with a smile as their children walked from row to row, looking at movies. “How could we not stop? It’s the last one,” said Gilless. “They need to see that not everything’s on the iPad.”

1.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The popularity of the video rental business. B.The special computer system of the last store.

C.The value of the last Blockbuster on Earth. D.The difficulties of running the last Blockbuster.

2.Why is the Blockbuster store in Bend still open?

A.It has a long history in all Blockbuster stores. B.Its employees try their best to keep it running

C.Its general manager is very stubborn woman. D.It is a place where people can watch old movies.

3.What is the documentary of Zeke Kamm probably about?

A.People’s experiences of sharing their own memories.

B.Zeke Kamm’s work with his friend in the Blockbuster.

C.People’s memories of renting videos in the Blockbuster.

D.Blockbusters’important role in a small town of America.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A.Oregon Will Have the Last Blockbuster on Earth B.Different Opinions About the Last Blockbuster

C.People Are Interested in the Last Blockbuster D.A Documentary About the Last Blockbuster
