I looked forward to science class in my third grade not because I had any interest in the subject, but because having never had it before, I couldn’t have any idea what science truly was. What I did know about science was that all of my favorite things to read about were called science fiction.
When we were given our science textbooks, I remembered looking through the first few chapters while the teacher was explaining something, and seeing a lot of basic information like how trees breathe in carbon dioxide and out oxygen, and how mammals have hair or fur but reptiles don’t. But most of the first week was consumed with learning the schedule and reading.
During the second week, we finally had time for a science lesson. I got excited. Mr Brown, the science teacher, explained to us that air wasn’t just a gas; it was a lot of gases mixed together. He listed off all of the gases inside air, and then he explained how pollution happened when there were other things besides these gases. Then he asked how many of our parents smoked. My hand shot up. He explained how smoke put pollution into the air, and how the same process happened to your lungs when you smoked. To show this, he took a two-liter bottle and filled it full with cotton balls. He stuck a cigarette in the top of it, lit it and then he squeezed the bottle over and over again. He explained how the bottle was working like a lung, and all the cotton balls were lung tissue. We all watched as the cotton turned yellow.
21. The writer couldn’t wait to have science class because_____.
A. he was interested in the subject B. he wanted to know what it was really about
C. he liked Mr. Brown, the science teacher D. he was tired of reading and maths
22. For the writer in Grade Two, science was _____.
A. about how trees breathe in and out B. about how mammals have hair or fur
C. science fiction D. reptiles and air
23. The first thing the writer did when he got the science textbook was to_____.
A. put it aside and wait for the class eagerly
B. read it aloud while doing maths problems
C. exchange opinions with the science teacher
D. learn about some basic information
24. The experiment the science teacher did was to show the writer ____.
A. how pollution happened to the lungs B. that air wasn’t just a gas
C. how many of our parents smoked D. how the cotton turned yellow

More than 20 years ago, a little girl named Amy had leukemia(白血病)．Her family, knowing of Amy’s wish to visit the theme parks in Orlando，Florida, contacted respected hotelier(旅馆经营者)，Henri Landwirth,to ask for a free stay at one of his hotels．Then they could take Amy there to realize her dream．Landwirth gladly welcomed them to come and stay，but sadly，it took him too long to arrange the trip, and Amy died before her dream was realized．
As a result，Landwirth swore that never again would a seriously sick child go without realizing their dream．Landwirth himself knew what it was like for a child to bear sadness and suffering．Born in Belgium，Henri and his family were separated during World WarⅡ．By the end of the war，his parents had both been killed. Later on, Landwirth worked hard and developed a successful hotel industry career．
When Amy died，Landwirth immediately made great effort to develop a program to bring special families to central Florida，within 24 hours if needed，to help seriously sick children realize their dreams．He called the project Give Kids the World because that was what he wanted to accomplish—provide memorable，joyful experiences to sick children and their families at no cost to them．

MARCH 15 was a special day for almost everyone in the UK. At school, kids got to wear their own clothes instead of uniforms. In offices, people did lots of silly things, like crazy dances. In the streets, some people dressed up to sell cakes. And, strangest of all, everyone was wearing a red nose.
This day is called Red Nose Day. It is a huge charity event in the UK every other year. On this day, celebrities and public figures make appearances on comic TV shows broadcast by the BBC to show their support for the event. Many people wear a red plastic nose and do something funny to raise money. All the money they raise goes to help the poorest people in the UK and Africa.
But Britons don’t just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year; they do it all year round. Some fundraising organizations set up online websites, such as Caring Bridge and WePay, to raise money on line. Other nonprofit companies host events like a silent auction (拍卖) or community carnival(狂欢节)，to raise money by selling tickets.
Another way of contributing is by shopping in charity shops. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very goods prices. There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anyone who has things they don’t want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. Most items go back on sale at part of their regular price and the money that is made by selling them is used to help people in need to live better.
Now, “thrifting” has become a popular act of supporting charity in the UK. People can get things they won’t find in other shops anymore for a very good price and a good moral sense. They enjoy thrifting in the knowledge that their money helps a good cause.
29. The first two paragraphs are mainly about_______.
A. a fundraising organization B. a huge charity event
C. a famous charity shop D. a popular TV show
30. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. Red Nose Day is the most important charity event in the UK
B. famous people seldom help draw public attention to charity event
C. online donations are available in the UK nowadays
D. items selling in charity shops are cheap yet not clean
31. The underlined word “ thrifting” means ______.
A. selling tickets online B. setting up fundraising organizations
C. working in nonprofit companies D. shopping at charity shops
32. Which is probably the best title for this passage?
A. A Fundraising Event B. Charity Shops in the UK
C. Doing Charity in the UK D. Different Causes for Charity

D.
Folk medicine maintains the health of the body by using medicines taken from surrounding plants and herbs. Since materials for making a medicine to cure a sickness can be found everywhere, one can practice folk medicine in any place of the world.
The use of folk medicine goes all the way back to the time of the earliest man when both man and animals used plants and herbs to keep healthy. It is usually seen that an animal eat snakeroot after being bitted by a poisonous snake. Because animals seem to have this natural ability for knowing which plant and herbs will cure what sickness, man probably learned how to cure for himself by animal watching.
Man also learned other things from animals. He observed that wild animals, when sick, kept quiet and rest, getting well with the help of the medicine in plants and pure air.
He saw that an animal with a fever could often be found resting in a cool place, eating nothing, and often drinking water until the fever was gone.
Some believe that folk medicine deals with a lot of old wives’s tales which have something to do with the medical treatment of the body. Stories are told about the powers of certain vegetable material, which when hung around the neck, brings the wearer good health during the cold winter months. Such a story is simply a fairy tale. It should be separated from the discussion of folk medicine.
33. A long time ago, both man and animals _____.
A. knew naturally how to use folk medicine
B. kept healthy by the use of plants and herbs
C. made folk medicine mainly out of plants
D. learned from each other how to care for themselves
34. Sick animals were often seen_____.
A. being quiet and making little movement
B. lying on the ground making strange noise
C. resting in a secret place to avoid enemies
D. drinking more water than other animals
35. The phrase “old wives’ tales” in the 5th paragraph refers to_______.
A. old ladies’ special use of folk medicine B. old medical treatment of the body
C .those unscientific stories and tales D. stories about certain plants
