In the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a vet hospital in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turned out, the experience I got at the hospital taught me the opposite: my future was not in vet medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.
The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we often had people come in who could just only pay for the most basic treatments. This Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection (感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest the animal shelter(庇护所) was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.
I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but it was only seen on TV or in movies. The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant (犹豫) to help someone who is in need, I remember that woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow.
1.Why did the writer work at the vet hospital?
A.He thought he would work there in the future.
B.He wanted to get some skills of treating animals.
C.He wanted to get some money for his schooling.
D.He wanted to get some experience for his future work.
2.What is the most important according to the writer?
A.How to be a kind person who helps others.
B.The practical experience of the vet job.
C.How to deal with the owners of pets.
D.The knowledge of vet medicine.
3.What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue”?
A.Out of order. B.All of a sudden . C.Now and then. D.First of all.
4.________ made the writer have the courage to help someone in need.
A.The officer B.The boy C.The woman D.The father

Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s(兽医诊所). There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped(香肠形)body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though.“No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper.“Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked(舔)his face. Her tail wagged(摇摆)around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
“She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white colour—he was blind.

I went to a volunteer orientation(志愿者活动情况介绍会) at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital in California several days ago.
Before I went there, I thought it was just a meeting for us to learn some basic information on how to do volunteer work. To my surprise, this meeting lasted for four hours! It told us in detail how to be a good volunteer at hospital.
For example, Graham, the director, told us to keep eye contact while offering help and never wait to be asked but offer help first. She also told us to bend down(弯下腰) to listen while patients are talking to show that we’re willing to hear. We should lead them to ask others for help if we can’t answer their questions and never say: it is not my business.
For the whole meeting, Miss Graham taught us how to satisfy patients through our words, body language and manners. It impressed me a lot. Americans pay so much attention to serving people with a professional attitude(专业的态度).
I suddenly realized why many people feel foreigners are really nice and friendly. They have been trained to do so since they were young. They always ask themselves: How do people feel toward my service? How can I improve to let them feel better? I really like this kind of culture.
1.According to the first two paragraphs, we learn the following about the volunteer orientation EXCEPT ____.
A. it was held in a hospital
B. it lasted for four hours
C. it told people how to be a good volunteer at hospital
D. it talked about the kinds of volunteer work there are
2.As a volunteer at hospital, you should ____.
A. always wait to be asked
B. bend down to listen when being asked
C. show them that you know everything
D. leave them alone if you can’t help
3.The last paragraph mainly talks about ____.
A. what the whole meeting was about
B. why the meeting was successful
C. cultural differences between China and the US
D. what the writer learned from the meeting
4. What does the writer think of such culture in the US?
A. She feels that it is great.
B. She doesn’t like it.
C. She feels that it is hard to understand.

Cabin hospitals save more lives
Feng Bangli, from Wuhan, Hubei, began to have a fever at the end of January and suspected that he had been infected with the virus. He tried several times to be admitted to a hospital but failed. He finally gave up and stayed at home, taking drugs given by doctors.
“At that time, too many patients were waiting to see doctors at every hospital, and it was not possible for me to get a bed,” said Feng. Days later, with the community staff’s help, Feng tested positive for COVID-19 and was sent to a makeshift hospital (临时医院) for treatment.
“Without such makeshift hospitals, many COVID-19 patients like me may never have found a bed,” said Feng.
Like Feng, over 12,000 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan received treatment and care at 15 makeshift hospitals. These hospitals were mainly used to receive patients with mild symptoms (轻症).
“Building makeshift hospitals was a key decision made in such an important moment when Wuhan was facing a formidable task of epidemic (疫情) control, and it has played an important role in both prevention and treatment of the disease,” he said.
“Makeshift hospitals have greatly eased pressure and made it possible to treat and isolate people in need,” said Xu Junmei, vice-president of Wuchang makeshift hospital.
Makeshift hospitals have now been copied in other countries. Eight makeshift hospitals are being built in Tehran, Iran, to fight against the virus. The one changed from the Iran Mall, the largest shopping mall in the country, is expected to have a total of 3,000 beds, according to People’s Daily.
On March 29, New York changed a grassy meadow in Central Park into a makeshift hospital, where it will provide 68 hospital beds.
“Considering the ways we can increase hospital capacity right now is very important,” says Dr Andrew Ibrahim, a surgeon at the University of Michigan told Architecture. “If hospitals can’t receive more patients, new facilities need to be built up.”
1.What does the writer want to tell us by using Feng Bangli’s example?
A.COVID-19 has infected a large number of people in a very short time.
B.Hospitals should always be prepared for any unexpected situations.
C.The COVID-19 outbreak happened suddenly without the slightest warning.
D.Makeshift hospitals have played an important role in the fight against COVID-19.
2.What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.new B.basic C.tough D.strange
3.What did Dr Andrew Ibrahim think of Tehran’s and New York’s new makeshift hospitals?
A.They wasted resources. B.They were greatly helpful.
C.They were not practical. D.They would not be as useful as China’s.
4.What is the main purpose of the article?
A.To praise China’s quick response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
B.To call on other countries to copy China’s method of fighting the virus.
C.To show the value of building makeshift hospitals to fight COVID-19.
D.To compare the measures different countries have taken to deal with COVID-19.

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t ________ like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.
On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he ________ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with ________.
A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day.

The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution(贡献)the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get ________ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.
