“Make-A-Wish” is one of the world’s most well-known charities (慈善机构). It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun. It started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Tommy Austin and Ron Cox, two police officers, made his wish come true. They gave Christopher a tour of the city in a police helicopter (直升飞机) and made a real police uniform (制服) for him.
There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:
I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.
I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favourite actors, singers or players.
I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.
I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.
Let’s hope more wishes will come true in the future. People who work in the charity always try for the best. Almost 25,000 volunteers help, work or give money. Will you be one of them?
34. “Make-A-Wish” is a charity to help ________ .
A. sick children B. serious officers C. famous actors D. popular singers
35. What did the two officers do for Christopher?
A. They gave him a computer. B. They gave him a tour of the city.
C. They took him to a concert. D. They took him to the police station.
36. Which kind of wish does Christopher have?
A. I wish to go. B. I wish to meet. C. I wish to have. D. I wish to be.
37. The purpose of the last paragraph is to ________.
A. explain what “Make-A-Wish” is
B. introduce different kinds of children’s wishes
C. ask more people to join the charity
D. tell us how Christopher’s wish came true

When Robert was about two years old, he was trying to take a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. However, when he got the bottle, he carelessly dropped it off. Suddenly the kitchen floor became sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him directly or punishing (惩罚) him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge puddle (水坑) of milk. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” He did as his mother suggested.
After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess (一团糟) like this, you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk.
His mother then said, “You know, you failed when you carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard, fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy finally learned that if he carry the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a big success (成功)! What a wonderful lesson! Robert learned that mistakes were just chances for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually learn something valuable from it.
38. What happened when Robert tried to take the milk?
A. He fell down to the ground with the milk. B. He dropped off the bottle of milk.
C. He could hold the milk bottle easily. D. He used the milk to wash the floor.
39. What did his mother do when she saw the mess?
A. Shouting at him in a loud voice. B. Punishing him for making the mess.
C. Asking him to clean the milk at once. D. Advising him to play in the milk.
40. What would Robert probably do with the milk bottle next time?
A. He may still drop it off on the ground.
B. He may carry the bottle at the top near the lip.
C. He may carry a big milk bottle with one hand.
D. He may ask her mother for help directly.
41. Which proverb (谚语) can best describe the lesson for Robert?
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Still waters run deep.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Easier said than done.
D
If someone finds a wallet with lots of money, is he/she likely (可能的) to return it?
A team from the US and Switzerland did an experiment (实验) in forty countries around the world. The scientists took over 17,000 “lost” wallets to different places, such as hotels, post offices and banks. Then they waited to see if the workers in these places tried to call the owner of the wallet.
The wallets were a little special. Most of the wallets had no money, some were as much money as $13. Each wallet had three cards with the information of the owner.
The scientists thought returning a lost wallet was about being honest. They wanted to know how people would act if no one was watching them. Before the experiment started, the scientists hoped that the wallets with money in them would be less likely to be returned. But in fact, it was not true. 51% of the people who found a wallet with money in it tried to contact the owner.
In the US, the UK, and Poland, the scientists decided to have a “big money” test. Some wallets had money worth about $100. In those countries, 46% of wallets with no money were returned, and 61% of those with $13 were returned. And 72% of wallets with nearly $100 were returned.
The scientists don’t know clearly why people are more likely to return a wallet with more money in it. But the act of returning a lost wallet shows a person’s good character (品质). It easily builds a good and close relationship among people.
42. Why did scientists do the experiment?
A. To learn how people make money. B. To test how honest people are.
C. To study how important kindness is. D. To see how people help others.
43. The underlined word “contact” in Paragraph 4 may mean “________”.
A. call somebody B. get on well with
C. take care of D. make a difference to
44. In which part of a magazine can you probably read this passage?
A. Art. B. Sports. C. Science. D. History.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s important for people to return lost wallets.
B. Good character helps people live a rich life.
C. Being honest can help people build good relationships.
D. People are more likely to return wallets with more money in them.

The weather was very good that winter. Christmas Day was sunny and bright, so Jo and Laurie went into the garden and made a snowman for Beth. They put flowers and fresh fruit for her in its hand. Jo brought her downstairs to see it and Beth laughed at its funny face. She was much better but she was still very thin and weak. After that there were presents for everyone.
Later that morning Laurie came back. There was a mysterious (神秘的) smile on his face when he opened the parlor door.
“Here’s another Christmas present for the March family!” he said. He disappeared behind the door and a tall man walked into the room. It was Mr. March! Suddenly the parlor was full of confusion and noise.
“Be quiet! Remember Beth!” Mrs. March said. Beth was sleeping upstairs.
But it was too late. Beth was already at the door. She stopped, looked at the scene and then she ran straight into the arms of her father.
It was the happiest Christmas they could remember. After the guests left, the March family sat together around the fire.
Mr. March looked at the four young faces around him with satisfaction.
“It was a difficult year for my little girls, I know,” he said to them. “But you were very brave.” He took Meg’s hands in his.
“Meg, your white hands are now rough (粗糙的) and red with hard work. They were pretty before but they are prettier to me now. I’m proud of you.”
Then he looked at Jo.
“You were my noisy, wild boy!” he said. “But now I can see a good, strong woman with a tender heart in front of me. I’m very happy.”
“What about Beth?” asked Amy.
“Beth! Dear, good little Beth!” said Mr March. He looked at her small, thin body and held her tightly.
“We nearly lost her. Now I’m going to keep her safe forever.”
“I watched Amy today,” Mr. March said. “She is kinder and more helpful than she was. She thinks more about other people and less about herself. I am proud to have a daughter like her. I’m proud of all my wonderful little women!”

When Robert was about two years old, he was trying to take a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. However, when he got the bottle, he carelessly dropped it off. Suddenly the kitchen floor became sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him directly or punishing (惩罚) him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge puddle (水坑) of milk. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” He did as his mother suggested.
After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess (一团糟) like this, you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk.
His mother then said, “You know, you failed when you carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard, fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy finally learned that if he carry the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a big success (成功)! What a wonderful lesson! Robert learned that mistakes were just chances for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually learn something valuable from it.

If someone finds a wallet with lots of money, is he/she likely (可能的) to return it?
A team from the US and Switzerland did an experiment (实验) in forty countries around the world. The scientists took over 17,000 “lost” wallets to different places, such as hotels, post offices and banks. Then they waited to see if the workers in these places tried to call the owner of the wallet.
The wallets were a little special. Most of the wallets had no money, some were as much money as $13. Each wallet had three cards with the information of the owner.
The scientists thought returning a lost wallet was about being honest. They wanted to know how people would act if no one was watching them. Before the experiment started, the scientists hoped that the wallets with money in them would be less likely to be returned. But in fact, it was not true. 51% of the people who found a wallet with money in it tried to contact the owner.
In the US, the UK, and Poland, the scientists decided to have a “big money” test. Some wallets had money worth about $100. In those countries, 46% of wallets with no money were returned, and 61% of those with $13 were returned. And 72% of wallets with nearly $100 were returned.
The scientists don’t know clearly why people are more likely to return a wallet with more money in it. But the act of returning a lost wallet shows a person’s good character (品质). It easily builds a good and close relationship among people.
42. Why did scientists do the experiment?
A. To learn how people make money. B. To test how honest people are.
C. To study how important kindness is. D. To see how people help others.
43. The underlined word “contact” in Paragraph 4 may mean “________”.
A. call somebody B. get on well with
C. take care of D. make a difference to

B. Good character helps people live a rich life.
C. Being honest can help people build good relationships.
D. People are more likely to return wallets with more money in them.

Jo brought her downstairs to see it and Beth laughed at its funny face. She was much better but she was still very thin and weak. After that there were presents for everyone.
Later that morning Laurie came back. There was a mysterious (神秘的) smile on his face when he opened the parlor door.
“Here’s another Christmas present for the March family!” he said. He disappeared behind the door and a tall man walked into the room. It was Mr. March! Suddenly the parlor was full of confusion and noise.
“Be quiet! Remember Beth!” Mrs. March said. Beth was sleeping upstairs.
But it was too late. Beth was already at the door. She stopped, looked at the scene and then she ran straight into the arms of her father.
It was the happiest Christmas they could remember. After the guests left, the March family sat together around the fire.
Mr. March looked at the four young faces around him with satisfaction.
“It was a difficult year for my little girls, I know,” he said to them. “But you were very brave.” He took Meg’s hands in his.
“Meg, your white hands are now rough (粗糙的) and red with hard work. They were pretty before but they are prettier to me now. I’m proud of you.”
Then he looked at Jo.
“You were my noisy, wild boy!” he said. “But now I can see a good, strong woman with a tender heart in front of me. I’m very happy.”
“What about Beth?” asked Amy.
“Beth! Dear, good little Beth!” said Mr March. He looked at her small, thin body and held her tightly.
“We nearly lost her. Now I’m going to keep her safe forever.”
“I watched Amy today,” Mr. March said. “She is kinder and more helpful than she was. She thinks more about other people and less about herself. I am proud to have a daughter like her. I’m proud of all my wonderful little women!”
