One day, an official whose job was to guard the vault came out of the vault in a hurry. When he saw Zhang, he looked nervous. Zhang stopped him and asked him what happened. “Nothing,” said the official, but he didn’t dare to look up. Zhang thought the official might steal the money, so he asked people to search the official. They found a coin in the official’s headband (头带). Zhang asked him how much more money he had stolen. The official said he didn’t steal anything else. Zhang ordered the guards to beat him. The official didn’t give in. He said, “I only stole a coin.

Alice Hamilton, 17 I’m going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths (小路) in the mountains with my friend Mary Clinton. It’s going to be fantastic—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It’ll be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time. Jason Moore, 18 This summer, I’m going to volunteer for the Special House Program. They build good and low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do, so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses. Trish Anderson, 16 I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I’m going to help kids choose and read books that they like.

B During the Song Dynasty (960-1279) there was an official named Zhang Guaiya. He worked in the town of Chongyang, in today’s Hubei. At that time, stealing (偷盗) happened everywhere—even in the town’s vault (金库). One day, an official whose job was to guard the vault came out of the vault in a hurry. When he saw Zhang, he looked nervous. Zhang stopped him and asked him what happened. “Nothing,” said the official, but he didn’t dare to look up. Zhang thought the official might steal the money, so he asked people to search the official. They found a coin in the official’s headband (头带). Zhang asked him how much more money he had stolen. The official said he didn’t steal anything else. Zhang ordered the guards to beat him. The official didn’t give in. He said, “I only stole a coin. You can’t kill me just because of that!” Zhang was very angry and said, “You should guard the vault but you steal money from it. If you steal a coin every day, you can steal one thousand coins in a thousand days.” “Constant dropping wears away a stone.” The saying tells us that small things over time can make a big difference. On the one hand, it tells us not to do small bad things. On the other hand, it tells us to hold on to our goals and never give up. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. Zhang stopped the official because ________.

I got there ten minutes earlier. So I ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window, watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled across the road. Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard. But it was too late. The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly. People ran to the boy. He was hurt and lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance (救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital. At 6:30 p.m. the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver.I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 p.m. After that I went home. The next day, the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was at the police station now. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. Why did the writer go to the coffee shop?
