• 2．I look forward to my half hour train ride to work every morning.I can look out of the window as it twists and turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun casting its strong lighting on the floor of the train car.I sometimes get lost in thought while following the light.But the reason I love this ride is that it's a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block.
     For almost a year now I have been riding this train as I head into the office where I work as a reporter for a local magazine.I am one of 13 journalists who help report community news in areas that are often forgotten.And for me，that means covering areas like the one I grew up in.
     Last week，as I was on the way to my office，I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis.I searched addresses on the city's southwest side，a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down，I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007.Then I set out to visit the city block，and that's when I met 3-year-old Harmony.
     Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother，Marquita.I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past，but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block，who were really friendly to each other.However，people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other.Marquita has lived on this block her entire life，and Harmony has for most of her short life as well.But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one obviously different than the one Harmony will grow to know.
     In the end，they smiled at my camera.And then I got back on the train and headed' back to the office to tell their stories.

• 3．As you walk around the UK in March，you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil（水仙花） on their coats.The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country's best-known charities：the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
     The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way.It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations.Founded in 1948，it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
     The charity was named after Marie Curie，a renowned scientist.She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity.Unfortunately，over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934.Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields.Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy（化學(xué)療法），the charity shared the name of Marie Curie.
     The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK，which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter.Because of this，the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.
     Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity，but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it.The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of ￡1.
     The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March，when the"Great Daffodil Appeal"kicks off.But that doesn't mean you can only wear them in March.People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
  
  （1）What does it mean when the British wear a daffodil on their coats？

  
  A．They support a charity.
  B．They are recovering from cancer.
  C．They've been helped by a charity.
  D．They've been diagnosed with cancer.
  （2）What does the underlined word"renowned"in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Beautiful.
  B．Modest.
  C．Famous.
  D．Humorous.
  （3）Why was the charity named after Marie Curie？

  
  A．Because patients required that.
  B．Because it was launched by her.
  C．Because she greatly supported it.
  D．Because it could show respect for her.
  （4）What can we learn about the daffodil from the text？

  
  A．It can be used as medicine.
  B．It's thought to stand for hope.
  C．It's widely worn worldwide.

     One New Year's morning，as we came down to breakfast，with very shiny faces and spendy aprons（圍裙），we surprisingly found father alone in the dining room.
     "Happy New Year.Papa!Where is Mother？" we cried.
     "A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home.so your mother went to see and ah，here she is."
     As Papa spoke，in came Mamma，looking very cold，rather sad，and very much excited.Not far away from here，lies a poor woman with a little newborn baby.Six children are hud-dled（擠在一起）into one bed to keep from freezing for they have no fire.There is nothing to eat over there，and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving on this bitterly cold day. "My little girls，will you givc them your breakfast，as a New Year's gift？"
     We sat silent a minute and looked at the nice，hot porridge（粥），creamy milk，and good bread and butter；for we were brought up like English children，and never drank tea or coffee，or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.
     "I wish we'd eaten it up，" thought I for I was rather a selfish child，and very hungry.
     "May I go and help carry it to the poor，little children？" asked Beth，who had the tende-rest heart that ever beat under a spendy apron.
     "I can carry that little pot，" said little May，proudly giving the thing she loved best.
     "And I shall take all the porridge，" I burst in，heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
     "You shall put on your things and help me，and when we come back，we'll get something to eat，" said Mother，beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.
  
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
     We were soon ready and set out.
                                             
     As we made our way back home，I felt a sense of warmth in my heart.
