The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it
usually means “one who offers his or her services”．Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay．
Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means．She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta．The following is her story．
“I watched a video about her．I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that, after I graduated from a high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work．So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks．”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people．I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch．I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up．I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them．To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much．It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world．”
56．Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A．She liked to work with Mother Teresa．
B．She had already had some experience．
C．She was asked to do so by Teresa.
D．She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example．

A．after she met Mother Teresa
B．after she finished high school
C．when she was touring Calcutta
D．when she was working in a hospital
58．What is Tracy’s “new idea” of being a volunteer?
A．Going abroad to help the sick．
B．Working in Mother Teresa’s home．
C．Doing simple things to help the poor．
D．Improving oneself through helping others．
59．What is the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Volunteer B．Voluntary Life in India
C．A Different Meaning of Volunteer D．Inspiration from Mother Teresa
Hey, Mr．and Ms．Unluckiness and Unhappiness! Terrorism, the war, the economic crisis and unemployment are at your door．Are you afraid of them? Well, don’t be! America is a happy land．The Smiley Face icon proves this in towns all over the country．
The tallest structure—the steel water tower—is often painted bright yellow, in a circle containing a pair of black dots for eyes and an upturned（朝上的）line for a mouth: the unforgettable smile．Most towns decorated their spheroid (or cylindrical) water storage tanks in the 1970s, when Smiley was still conceptually fresh．As a "safe" counterculture symbol, with absolutely no bite, the Smile Face water tower was a low cost way to radiate sunny greetings to travelers and locals．Calumet City, Illinois claims to have been the first, when 8-year old resident Kim Fornero sent a letter to the city council in late 1972 suggesting a smile face would be more fun to look at than a plain old water tower．
In the 1980s, with the paint on the water tower fading, residents of Calumet City decided to make the face their own．They repainted the tower, and a Happy Cook Restaurant and Smiley Face Inn appeared on the highway outside the town, ready to make you smile! Local businessmen printed the Smiley icon on their business cards, and displayed Smiley Face souvenirs in shop windows．
By the late 1990s, the survival of the Smiley Face water tower was assured．It didn’t matter why the face had been painted there—it was now a part of history．In May 2009, the town again celebrated its Smiley Face water tower as a symbol of hope for a better tomorrow．
60．The author mainly wants to tell readers that the symbol asks them to_________
A．greet people politely B．deal with their problems
C．enjoy themselves D．forget the past
61．The underlined word “icon ” in the first paragraph probably means________.
A．beautiful picture B．building C．image D．valuable painting
62．Why did Calumet residents accept the tower happily?
A．It set a good example to them.
B．It made them work harder.
C．They wanted to think it for supplying water.
D．They wanted to make the Smiley Face their own.
63．From the text we learn that the Smiley Face water tower________
A．was based on a painter’s inspiration
B．is a symbol of the prosperity of the town
C．is meant to give people hope for a better future
D．was created in 1972 by the city council, just for fun
All over my garden I’ve planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower．A close friend came for a visit the other day．I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom．I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away．
That girl friend of nine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn’t pick a single rose．I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn’t make a living out of them．Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said．With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut．Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy such a charming smile?
My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people．
64．The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because________.
A．she can make money out of them B．her friends like them
C．she enjoys the roses very much D．the roses sell well
65．The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ _______”.
A．given off B．lost C．destroyed D．thrown away
66．Why did the writer’s close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
A．Because the roses were not beautiful.
B．Because she loved the roses very much.
C．Because she did not like this kind of roses.
D．Because the writer did not want to give her any.
67．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Pity of People to the Roses
B．The Smiling Face of the Earth
C．A Lovely Rose Garden
D．A Lover of Flowers
