Gao Wenqi, 49, owner of a restaurant in Xi'an, Shanxi, started to offer a new service on April 13, 2013: suspended meals (待用快餐). Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan,Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program.
You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled(殘疾人), the poor elderly or homeless children,can have it without paying.
This idea comes from the cafes (咖啡館) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra (額外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free.
“The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity(尊嚴(yán)),” said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program.
小題1:According to the passage, this program may possibly take place        .
A.in a restaurantB.a(chǎn)t a bus stationC.in a schoolD.on a train
小題2:The suspended meals are offered to     .
A.studentsB.workersC.people in needD.the rich
小題3:The underlined phrase “in advance” in the third paragraph means “_        _” in Chinese.
A.滯后B.預(yù)先C.優(yōu)先D.勝過
小題4:It's said that the idea of “suspended meals” comes from      .
A.ItalyB.the U.S.C.CanadaD.China
小題5:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Someone who is unable to pay can ask for the suspended meals.
B.The program is meaningful and it offers help with dignity.
C.Gao Wenqi's restaurant joined the program on April 13, 2013.
D.All customers must pay an extra meal at the restaurant.

LONDON (Reuters) — British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.
Leech, 35, named “Hero Milkman” by the National Dairymen’s Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering (遞送) milk as usual a year ago.

The willful blindness  in hockey toward concussions (頭部撞擊) has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking (身體攔截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey's greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country's children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.
The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger.  It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don't enjoy that environment.
For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(強(qiáng)制的) for all coaches,  including those teaching players in  the pre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more "touch" - without real bodychecking - from 9 t0 12. It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It's worth the try.
Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it's hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country's love of the game.
There are always changes in Canada's game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.
小題1:We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada____________.
A.is controlled strictly
B.is taken more seriously now
C.is caused by players' carelessness
D.is connected with players' interest
小題2:What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A.The safe ways of controlling the loss.
B.The steps of drawing special attention.
C.The possible results of changing the rules.
D.The methods of improving the environment.
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.
B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.
C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players' skills in the USA.
D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.
小題4:What is probably the best title' for this passage?
A.Which is more important?
B.How do we change the rules?
C.Why is hockey a dangerous game?
D.When should bodychecking be prevented?

If you want to travel with a partner, you may ask for one on the Internet. There are some tips about how to choose a right partner on the Internet:
Unluckily, you can’t ask a person if he has a good feeling. If you ask, everyone will tell you that they do! It is important that you have to get to know your travel partner to find out what kind of feeling he really has.
You can tell a lot about a person’s feeling by the words he uses. Ask him about his worst trip. Is he laughing about it now, or still unhappy? Does his worst trip sound like an adventure to you? If so, he doesn’t match you. Having a good feeling is important for having a good time.
Talk about the hotel you would like to stay in. See if you have the same habit of spending holidays. This is such a quick way to find a partner.
What’s more? Always keep in contact with(聯(lián)系) your travelling partner when travelling. Don’t simply hang out without telling them, and don’t let them do it to you, either.

Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961. Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but also many of them have lived there in space stations for some time.
The Soviet Union(前蘇聯(lián)) sent the first space station into space in 1971. This space station was called Salyut 1. Salyut 1 was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasn’t until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.
Living in space stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away.
小題1:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 2?
A.DiscoveredB.CheckedC.WatchedD.Fixed
小題2: What can we infer(推斷)from the passage?
A.Astronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space station.
B.The Soviet Union sent a total of 9 space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s.
C.Astronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks.
D.Space travel has quite a long history of more than 60 years.
小題3:What is the best title of this passage?
A.Exploring SpaceB.Space TravelC.Living in SpaceD.Space Stations
