Last Thursday,Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis.The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception,they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.

The idea came from the bridegroom's father,Ted,who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization.For the past few years,the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who have suffered from natural disasters and lost their housing.He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.

Then he told his son,who was surprised by the suggestion,but soon won over.When he told that to the bride,she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Türkiye there is a real culture of sharing with people in need.They love to share their food,their table and everything they have.So,they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients (接受者).

On Tuesday evening,the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with greater good.“It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,”Michael said.“Hopefully,this will also give a start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”

Jamil Jan Kochai,the author of99 Nights in Logar,searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung——the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier.On Saturday night,the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.

The writer was born in a refugee camp (難民營) for Afghans in Peshawar,Pakistan,and his family moved to California when he was just a year old.At home,they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi,so by the time he reached first grade,he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English.Then came Mrs Lung,who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.

The two got to work,meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school.At the end of the school year,Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.

Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai's father got a job in another city and the boy moved on,with a new love of reading and writing.When he grew older,Kochai's parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her.But despite his efforts,he failed to track her down.

“I didn't know her first name.She was always just Mrs Lung to me,so when I called places to ask about her,they couldn't find any records of her,”Kochai said.

Then,while promoting his first novel,he wrote an essay forLiterary Hubmagazine,touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life.Lung's doctor happened to read it,and told the now-retired educator about that.

Lung's husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai's reading event on Saturday in Davis,California and suggested he drive his wife there.

“I had no idea they were going to be there,”Kochai said.“It was just like a sweet dream.Mrs Lung was sitting in the front row.She was just the same Mrs Lung.Just as sweet,kind and warm as ever.”

Kochai and Lung hugged,and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.

D.He had limited information about her.

6.How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs Lung at his reading event?

When international aid is given,steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended.The way to achieve this may not be simple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid.Here however rises the problem of costs and time.Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster,it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.A common proverb says,“Give me a fish and I eat for a day;teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”If we follow this wise saying,it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example,a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.Even a small country is able to help less developed nations.Sometimes what is taken for granted,like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school,could be useful for countries which are looking for solutions to solve common problems.It does not cost much to share such simple things.Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site.They can then take their knowledge back to their homeland and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves.Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses.Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned,there is also the build-up of friendships to consider.Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies.However,in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

8.How is paragraph 2 developed?

A.By making analyses. B.By stating processes.

C.By giving examples. D.By making contrasts.

9.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A.Providing food is vital.

B.Learning to fish is helpful.

C.Looking after others is important.

D.Teaching techniques is vital.

10.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?

A.A medical team.

B.Financial support.

C.A water plant.

D.An exchange program.

11.What can we infer about international aid from the text?

A.It is facing difficulties.

B.It is unnecessary during normal times.

C.It should be given in the form of materials.

D.It has gained support by developed countries.

Zhang Ying,23,could have been a news host after four years studying broadcasting and talk show hosting at the university.So could Du Xintong.Instead of just becoming talking heads on TV,they decided to use their knowledge to help millions of children with speech disorders to find their own voices.They co-founded Voice Changer,which offers language rehabilitation (復(fù)原) for teenagers in China through online and in-person service platforms.

According to Zhang,each child needs to finish at least one three-month course,which consists of three 40-minute sessions a week.The length of the overall training program is dependent on each child's condition upon their evaluation.

“When we are teaching in-person courses,the parents cannot accompany their children.The children may feel a bit nervous in a strange environment,but they soon get used to it and start to enjoy the training,”she says.

They also launched a mini-program on WeChat that provides online services for families of children with speech disorders——parents can upload their child's information and recordings to the self-testing tool and get a report.As well as online speech therapy (治療),there are also online courses for parents,including guidance for speech therapy at home.

“We insist that parents should accompany their children when taking online courses as they need to play the role of both teaching assistants and deskmates,”she says.

There are only 10,000 speech therapists in China,many of whom are not full-time.Unlike common volunteer work,to be a speech therapist volunteer,complex training is required before services can be offered.

“Speech therapy is a complex subject which requires knowledge,including training in education,psychology,linguistics and so on,”Zhang says,adding that their team has developed a training system for the volunteers to grow into professional speech therapists.They prefer to employ college students majoring in related subjects,such as broadcasting,linguistics,Chinese languages and literature or special education.

12.What is Zhang Ying's occupation now?

A.A news host. B.A speech therapist.

C.A psychologist. D.A college student.

13.What can we learn about Voice Changer's programs?

A.Each lasts three months.

B.They are intended for teens.

C.Parents'company is a must.

D.They vary from person to person.

14.What are parents required to do in online courses?

A.Help their children learn better.

B.Have some knowledge of psychology.

C.Leave their children alone without interrupting.

D.Upload their children's information to a therapist.

15.Why are there limited speech therapists in China?

A.Speech therapy is a new industry.

B.Being a speech therapist is demanding.

C.Students majoring in related subjects are few.

D.People don't want to take it as a full-time job.

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

When I was a kid,my godparents,Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances,brought me a fourmonth-old puppy.She was half German shepherd,half collie.As her pink tongue tickled(撓癢)my face with wet licks,it was love at first hug.

My family named the puppy Dusty.Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids,no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.

Dusty was our dog,not“my”dog.We soon realized that she had much patience.My baby sister often transformed Dusty's warm fur into a nap-time pillow,falling asleep on the rug.Like a protective mother,Dusty waited without moving until my sister woke.

Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard,too.Monday through Friday,she'd walk us kids two blocks to St.Patrick's Parochial,looking at both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street.We'd wave goodbye as we entered the door,knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.

Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family,one incident stands out far and above all others.Late one night,Dusty rushed to my parents' bedroom.She barked and barked.When she got no response,Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers'bedroom and barked again and again.When she failed to fully wake us,she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents'room.Finally,she got Mom's attention.

“What are you doing,Dusty?”Mom snapped,still halfway in dreamland.Dusty persisted.Finally my mother gave in.“Okay,what is it?”

Dusty whined(哀鳴)and rushed out of Mom's room.Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself,my mother followed Dusty to the front door.

When Mom opened the door to let her out,Dusty tore across the street,not stopping to do her business as my mother had assumed.Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

Paragraph 1:

The house across the street,where my best friend Marianne lived,was on fire.

Paragraph 2:

However,my mother refused to take all the credit(贊揚).
