Anna wanted to take advantage of her love of art.So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids.Because these cards were all handmade,it would take her a long time to make a lot of them.So Anna had another idea.She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards.At first her friends were hesitant.Many said that they were not artistic and didn't know how to make cards.But once they saw the beautiful materials that Anna had in her workroom,they felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card. But the materials were expensive.To make money without spending money,Anna asked for and got donations of paper,glue,scissors and other things from nearby stores.She sold her cards for three dollars each in different art markets during the year.Anna raised more than $30,000 in her 10 years by making cards. 1.What was Anna?

Finger Snap(打响指) Snapping your thumb (and middle fingers over and over may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten.While in Latin America,snapping them means asking one to hurry up.But one thing you should remember is that,in many cultures,snapping fingers close to someone's face is considered to be an improper gesture. Fingers Crossed Crossing the index and middle fingers is considered as a sign of wishing for good luck or fortune.At other times,people cross their fingers before telling a lie,as it is believed to countervail (the bad things coming from the lie.So it is both a positive and negative symbol. ILY Sign ILY Sign 英语第2页（共8页） Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 This is always a nice hand gesture from American Sign Language.It combines the letters "I", “L”and“Y”to mean“I love you'”People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family,friends and all the other people they love. Counting with Fingers Finally,for the most useful signs-how to count the numbers from one to ten.Notice how English-speaking countries use both hands instead of one.So the next time you go to a market in the US,remember to use these signs to bargain. 5.On Mother's Day, can best show love to your mum instead of words.

They also found that how often people did voluntary work was important as well.Among those who once worked as volunteers,only 1.8 per cent of people usually doing voluntary work (more than 4 times a month)died,compared with 2.5 per cent of people occasionally doing voluntary work (once a month). A further study shows that the reason why people do voluntary work is also important.That is to say,people's purposes of doing voluntary work make a difference.The researchers pointed out that the more pity volunteers felt for the poor people,the more possibility they had of living longer. Those volunteers for personal benefits (had nearly the same length of life as the people who didn't do voluntary work at all. It may be a bad idea to encourage people to do voluntary work for personal benefits.Doing voluntary work is often encouraged in schools and organisations.Some say that it's okay to look for benefits for yourself.Others say that you will receive the health benefits through voluntary work.

D.To get personal benefits. 16.What's the best title for the text? A.Live longer:being forced to be a volunteer B.Live longer:being ordered to be a volunteer C.Live longer:being required to be a volunteer D.Live longer:being prepared to be a volunteer 第二节阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一 个多余的选项。 How do you greet your friends?17 Some may shake hands.Some would like to nod. 英语第5页（共8页） ◇ Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 Some people kiss to greet.But have you ever wondered how animals say hello to others?
