     Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their
shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one
of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years earlier both of the little girl's parents had died and there was
no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in
and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child's
life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a
child in a similar way.
     They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home just on the weekends
when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a
few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime.
     The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available,
Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her
doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way
she was meant to have a family.
     Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children-Rose, 16; Albert, 11; Joshua,
5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family. The County
family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and has received many awards for their efforts. Last
June, the family was even interviewed on the television show,"Adoption Stories".
     Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being
a mother of six is: "Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday Mom things,
that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege."
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How a couple first met at college.
B. Where you can adopt a child.
C. The benefits of adoption to the community.
D. How adoption created a happy family.
2. Why did Ellen and Bill first decide to adopt a child?
A. Because they had always loved students very much.
B. Because they saw the benefits of adoption for a child.
C. Because they were not able to have children of their own.
D. Because they want to receive awards for their community work.
3. Which of the children are related to each other by blood?
A. Rylee and Tyler.
B. Billy and Tyler.
C. Albert and Joshua.
D. Rose and Albert.
4. The last paragraph _____.
A. tells the reader how they can adopt a child
B. describes the things that make Ellen happy
C. says what Ellen does every day

     The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away
with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee, as the March girls
called their mother.
     The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with
the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to
show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
     The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is
very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited
and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩紅熱) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became
very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at
that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
     Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after
a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy
had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never
fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
     Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Mareches'. Jo went to New York and
became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home
the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn't live much longer to be
with her family, and in the springtime she died.
     News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be
married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and
soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
     And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love
and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.
1. The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs., March and their _____.
A. four daughters
B. five daughters

     When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in
my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have
friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn't let that happen.
     Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our
whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time
some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught
us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.
      Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out
of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw
names, Mr. Clark said,"You're all going."
     On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta,
but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based
on his classroom rules, The Essential 55.
      In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit
