Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).

Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.

1.How long is the history of the Forbidden City?

A. About 600 years. B. More than 600 years.

C. 1,420 years. D. Over 10,000 years.

2.We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol for ____ of the emperor.

Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社區(qū)服務(wù)）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.

The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.

I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward（尷尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

1.How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?

A. By train B. By car. C. By bus. C. By taxi.

2.Why did the writer get angry?

A. Because a boy held the writer’s hands. B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.

C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground. D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.

3.The boy acted differently from others because _______.

A. he was sick B. his parents didn’t like him

C. he was nervous and fearful D. he always lived with teachers

4.The underlined word “abandoned” most probably means “_______”.

A. hurt B. left C. sold D. forgotten

5.From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.

A. helped so many people in the world B. played with the lonely boy after lunch

C. learned the meaning of community service D. wasn’t good at answering the questions about community service.

1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.C 【解析】試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了作者通過參加社區(qū)服務(wù)理解了社區(qū)服務(wù)的意義：和孤獨(dú)的孩子玩耍也許不會產(chǎn)生作用，但是這種行為去能為孩子點亮心靈，使他們知道他們也有人愛。 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.

Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories.
