A
Five weeks ago I had total hip replacement surgery (髋关节置换手术). In Canada, we have a great healthcare system. That means we get our new hips for free.
My hip had been hurting me for years before I went to the doctor. Of course, it was free. She referred me to a surgeon, but the earliest appointment was in 10 months. That is what being free gets you. Ten months later, after some free X-rays, the surgeon told me I needed surgery, which was about an 18-month wait, for some senior citizens had been on the operation list. Another 18 months! I dragged myself out of the surgeon’s office.
Walking through the hospital, I thought about the situation. As the breadwinner of a large family, I couldn’t wait that long, so I had to get to the front line. I was fully aware of what a Canadian should be like (Canadians are usually considered gentle and ca-ring), but this time I really needed to fight for myself. At that very moment, in the shop window of the hospital, I saw a sign which read, “Volunteers Needed.” Suddenly, an idea occurred to me—I would get the job. Fortunately, they signed me up immediately because the average age of the volunteers at the shop was 75. They were desperate for some young blood.
Every Friday morning, I was at the shop. While seeing the hospital staff, I’d casually be asked, What do you do? Then ld tell them, Well, lm getting my hip replaced—in 18 months. It’s going to be so great when the pain stops. Soon, all the staff got to know me. Naturally, in my next appointment, the surgeon recognized me. Moments later, I had a surgery date just weeks away.
I had to say it was actually my volunteering that got me to the front of the line. And I’m not ashamed of it, for I intend to stick with the volunteering. Also, even when I cheated the system, I did it in a way that benefits society.
1、What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．She felt rather disappointed.
B．She couldn’t walk because of the pain.
C．She was too scared to have the surgery.
D．She didn’t believe what the surgeon said.
2、Why did the writer decide to be a volunteer?
A．To donate blood to the hospital.
B．To get her new hip free of charge.
C．To receive some tiny gifts from others.
D．To approach the doctor for early surgery.
3、What did the author think of her cheat?
A．It was a shame.
B．It was a pride.
C．It was beneficial.
D．It was a fair deal.
4、Which can be the best title for the text?
A．How I Got My New Hip
B．The Doctor Who Saved My Life
C．How to Be a Volunteer in Hospital
D．The Problem of Canada’s Healthcare System

B
Flying High
Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational non-profit-making organization. His message for kids: “The only thing that separates you from scientists is determination, hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.
The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents’ bookstore. One customer, a professional pilot, asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pilot. “I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough; but the next day he took me to the cockpit (驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like that I was hooked.”
To follow his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator (模拟) video game. Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world. He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components. He took off with no weather radar, no de-icing system, and just $30 in his pocket. “I like to do things people say I can’t do.”
After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空), aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers. Kids attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.
“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he notes. Perhaps Irving’s most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he said, “Everyone told me I was too young, that I didn’t have enough experience, strength, or knowledge. They told me it would take forever and I’d never come home. Well ... guess what?”
1、According to Irving, what is the most important in achieving success?
A．Meeting people who provide unexpected help.
B．Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.
C．Having something specific that you want to accomplish.
D．Developing communication with different organizations.
2、What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that ______.
A．he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer
B．he was doubtful about his own abilities
C．he knew his efforts would be rewarded
D．he realized immediately how lucky he was
3、What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3?
A．He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.
B．He was finally given enough money to keep going.
C．He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.
D．He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.
4、Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because ______.
A．he hoped to become a public figure
B．he expected to start a business in other fields
C．he saw there was great interest in what he was doing
D．he thought he could teach more than flight schools could
