When I was reading a post about taking someon...

When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的) for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 20 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.

1.How did the author get the tickets?

A.By visiting a website by chance. B.By using some Cokes to get them.

C.By getting a code at the bottom of a bottle. D.By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.

2.How many tickets did the author and his friends use?

A.About 22. B.About 32. C.About 52. D.About 365.

3.Which of the following best describe the author ?

A.Lucky and caring. B.Creative and careful.

C.Responsible and cheerful. D.Thankful and generous.

4.Which of the following proverb can best explain the main idea of this article？

A.The roses in their hands, the flavor in mine.

B.Good luck favors those who are always ready.

C.Actions speak louder than words.

D.God helps those who help themselves.

Earlier this year, artist　 Malik was about to post a　 selfie (自拍照）from the Brooklyn Bridge when he had the second thought. He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world.

Malik thought that the social media (媒体）had become impersonal and he wanted to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Therefore, the Reading Project was born. He began leaving piles of his books in famous New York City locations with a card containing simple instructions put inside each one: take a book, read it and share your thoughts with the artist by email.

The piles of books themselves can be seen as works of art, and so is the process (过程）of sharing. Unlike many of the things we share today, he likes to keep the project off social media. To keep the project pure (纯的），he doesn’t even turn around as he walks away once he has left a pile of books. When he has left them behind, he prefers email to be the only way that he learns what happens to them. The project has now taken him — and his books — all over the world, including London.

“I hope people pick them up and I also hope they read them and let me know their feelings on them. And even if they don't let me know, I just hope they will read the books，” Malik said.

He has received thousands of messages from people in more than 30 countries all over the world. For Malik, kooks are meaningless and lifeless if they gather dust(灰尘）on a shelf and are never read again. He intends to carry on with the project for some time，with a plan to visit Brazil and then decides whether he will continue it or not.

Most of all, lie loves the connection the books give him with strangers across the world， which is something that oilier posts could never achieve,

1.What hit Malik when he intended to post a　 selfie?

A.His selfie being not very attractive for a long time.

B.That social media made people close to each other.

C.His thoughts that it should be shared with more people.

D.That a new way could be used to connect with the world,

2.Why does Malik prefer others to connect with him by email?

A.He isn’t good at talking with people face to face.

B.It is a quick way to know what happens.

C.He doesn't want to be troubles by social media.

D.He thinks people needn’t know the process of sharing.

3.What can we infer about Malik's project from the text?

A.It won’t last long for a lack of books.

B.It was first started on Brooklyn Bridge.

C.It has improved the relation among strangers.

D.It has proved to be helpful to connect with others.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A.Read Books Offered by Malik

B.Connecting with Strangers by Sharing Books

C.Change the Relationship with Strangers

D.Make Meaningless Books Meaningful
