As one of Hollywood’s all-time greatest actress, Audrey Hepburn is famous all over the world. When Hepburn died in 1993, the world mourned the loss of a great beauty, a great actress and a great humanitarian.
Born in Belgium on 4th May 1929, Hepburn dreamed of becoming a
successful ballet dancer. She had also been a model before she entered the film industry.

She insisted that Hepburn was the perfect girl to play the lead role in Gigi, a play based on her novel. That event marked the beginning of Hepburn’s successful career.
Shortly after, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of a young princess in the Hollywood film Roman Holiday. It was a big success and earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. She also won a Tony Award for the play Ondine.

Throughout her acting years, she acted in only one TV series, Gardens of the world with Audrey Hepburn. By showing us the beauty of nature, Hepburn wanted to remind us that we should protect the environment.

When I was a foreign teacher in China，every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China．One day the topic mined to saying “I love you”．I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers，nor had their mothers said it to them．“Does your mom love you?” “Of course，”they answered．
“How do you know?” was my logical question．They responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning．I was strummed. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you”．”Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough，so I repeated these queries in clauses over time．Gradually，I began to get different responses．Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms．
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl．When she came home from university，her mother met her at the door and hugged（擁抱）her．This had never happened before，but her mom said，“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself．I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you．”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot．While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment，it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning，even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love．
小題1:The foreign teacher _________．
A．comes from AmericaB．is a young woman
C．is expressive enoughD．knows much about China
小題2:Chinese people prefer to show love by __________．
A．saying “I love you”B．cooking
C．getting good grades D．doing something helpful

A．She is meeting her daughter at the dour．
B．She loves her daughter and misses her．
C．She is glad that she has more time to herself．
D．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter．
小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Say “I love you” more to your family．
B．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people．
C．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others．
D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings．

When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早產(chǎn)) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.
But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.”
小題1: Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because        .
A．they don’t have enough money
B．they would rather save cancer patients
C．doctors don’t care if the babies die
D．it makes more sense to have a bigger baby
小題2:The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because        .
A．oxygen machine are expensive
B．the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital

小題3:From the story we know that saving a cancer patient        .
A．is easier than saving a babyB．is harder than saving a baby
C．is cheaper than saving a baby D．is more common than saving a baby
小題4:The main idea of the article is        .
A．doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients
B．doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high
C．having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago
D．Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills
