Did you watch the closing ceremony（閉幕式）of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games? Then do you still remember the eight-minute performance at the Bird's Nest（鳥巢）by people from London? Of course，the famous British football star David Beckham was there，but there was also a wonderful voice heard at the ceremony．The voice was from Leona Lewis，6ne of the hottest pop singers in the United Kingdom．

Leona was born in 1985．She wrote her first song when she was only twelve．Since then she's won several singing contests．She studied singing，dancing and acting，and found she was interested in writing songs very much．

In the year 2006，Leona took part in the famous British talent show and became the winner．Her first single broke the world record when it was downloaded 50000 times in 30 minutes．Her first album was a huge success．Bleeding Love，a song on the album，was one of the best songs of 2007!

From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom，James Crum lived in his own world．He was a student with few words．

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday，we started the Christmas collection of money for the poor people in our school．“Christmas is a season of giving，” I told my students．“By contributing（捐獻(xiàn)）to our Christmas collection，you will help to buy food，clothes and toys for the poor people．We will start the collection tomorrow．”

When I called for the contributions the next day，I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except James Crum．The boy walked slowly to my desk．Carefully，he dropped some money into the small box．

“I don't need milk for lunch，” he said in a low voice．For a moment，just a moment，he smiled．Then he turned and walked back to his desk．

That night，after school，I took our contributions to the head teacher．And I told him the story．“I may be wrong，but I believe James might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him，” I said．

“Yes，” the head teacher nodded．“We must do something to help him．Look．Here is a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection．”

To my surprise，James Crum and his family were the top names on the list．

2．What did they collect during the Christmas season?

A．Money．           B．Clothes．          C．Toys．

3．Why did James say，he did not need milk for lunch that day?

A．Because he did not like milk．

B．Because he had no money for milk after his contribution．

C．13ecause he had given his milk to his classmate．

4．The teacher thought James _________ after his contribution．

A．was poor                B．was a fool          C．hoped to get along with others

5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
