I want to draw a flower for my mum," seven-year-old Mia asked the nurse softly. She was sitting in the waiting room of Green Tree Hospital, with a colouring book in her lap. "I'm so sorry, dear," the nurse replied with a sad smile. "We don't have pink ones left. How about a brown one instead?" Mia's face fell immediately. She looked at the half-drawn flower on the page and felt tears welling up in her eyes. This was a common scene in the hospital's children's waiting room. The hospital prepared colouring materials to cheer up young patients, but crayons were always in short supply. Since crayons might spread germs among kids, they had to be thrown away after one use. With dozens of young patients coming every day, the hospital couldn't afford to buy new crayons constantly. Mia had been going to the hospital since she was two because of a chronic illness. Colouring was the only thing that could take her mind off the pain of injections and examinations. She knew exactly how terrible it felt to be refused a favourite crayon. "I wish every kid here could have all the colours they want," she whispered to herself. 1. What did Mia want to draw with a pink crayon? A. A butterfly B. A flower C. A cat D. A sun 2. Why did the nurse refuse to give Mia a pink crayon? A. Because Mia was not allowed to use crayons B. Because the pink crayons had been used up C. Because pink crayons were bad for kids' health D. Because the nurse didn't like Mia's request 3. Why were crayons always in short supply in the hospital? A. Because kids took crayons home without permission B. Because crayons were very expensive and the hospital had no money C. Because used crayons had to be thrown away to avoid spreading germs D. Because the hospital didn't care about young patients' needs 4. What was the only thing that could help Mia forget her pain? A. Reading storybooks B. Playing with toys C. Talking to the nurse D. Colouring pictures 5. What did Mia wish for after being refused the pink crayon? A. She wished she could leave the hospital soon B. She wished the nurse could be nicer to her C. She wished every kid could have their favourite crayons D. She wished her mum could bring her more crayons B Mia told her parents about her wish, and they decided to help her. Her original plan was to collect 300 boxes of crayons for the hospital. But when she counted her pocket money, she found it was only enough to buy 30 boxes. What's worse, her illness made it impossible for her to do outdoor chores to earn extra money. Mia didn't give up, though. With the help of her family and classmates, she started a small campaign. They made posters and put them up in the community and her school. The posters said: "Donate your unused crayons to bring colours to sick kids!" Mia also gave a short speech in her class, telling everyone about the situation of young patients in the hospital. To everyone's surprise, the campaign was a huge success. Local residents brought boxes of crayons to Mia's home. A stationery store even donated 500 boxes of brand-new crayons. Word of Mia's kindness spread online, and people from other cities sent crayons to the hospital by post. So far, Mia has collected more than 2,000 boxes of crayons. Now, the waiting room of Green Tree Hospital is full of colours. Every young patient can pick their favourite crayons to draw pictures. The walls are decorated with their works - bright suns, lovely animals and beautiful flowers. "Mia has brought not only crayons but also happiness to the hospital," said the head nurse. 6.

What did the head nurse think of Mia's action? A. It brought colours and happiness to the hospital B. It was a waste of time and money C. It was not helpful at all for the patients D. It made the waiting room messy C It was a sunny afternoon in my hometown, Yushu. I was having an art class in the primary school. Suddenly, the desk began to shake violently. Books and pencils fell off the table. The teacher shouted, "Earthquake! Get out quickly!" We ran out of the classroom as fast as we could. When we turned back, we saw the teaching building collapse in front of our eyes. I stood there, frozen with fear, unable to move. Just then, a young woman ran to me and pulled me to a safe place. She was wearing a nurse's uniform, and her face was covered with dust. She smiled at me and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. You're safe now." Later, I learned that she was a volunteer nurse from another city. In the following days, I saw her and many other volunteers working day and night. They saved people from the ruins, gave first-aid to the injured and brought food to the homeless. Their kindness left a deep impression on me. I made a promise to myself that day: when I grow up, I will be a nurse too, to help people in need. After I graduated from nursing school, I worked hard in the hospital. Every time I see a patient in pain, I think of that volunteer nurse. Her smile gives me the strength to keep going. 11. What was the writer doing when the earthquake happened? A.

To become a nurse D. To become a doctor D One year, a big flood hit a small town nearby. The local hospital was short of nurses, so it called for help from other hospitals. Without hesitation, I signed up for the volunteer team. I packed my bags and left for the town the next day. The situation in the town was much worse than I had imagined. There were too many injured people, and the medical supplies were running out. I worked 16 hours a day, hardly having time to eat or sleep. One night, when I was checking a patient's temperature, I heard a familiar voice. "Excuse me, can you give me a glass of water?" I looked up and saw an old woman. She was the volunteer nurse who had saved me during the Yushu earthquake! I was so excited that I couldn't say a word. She recognized me too, and her eyes filled with tears. She told me that she had been volunteering in disaster areas all these years. "I just want to pass on the kindness I received," she said. Her words made me realize that kindness is like a circle - it goes from one person to another and never stops. Now, whenever I have a chance, I go to disaster areas to help people. I hope that one day, the people I help will also pass on this circle of kindness to others. 16. Why did the writer go to the small town as a volunteer? A. Because she wanted to travel to the town B.
