Twelve years ago, a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco, California, visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo. In one area of the rainforest, he watched a bird flying through the trees. The beautiful sight left quite an impression on him. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that trees had been cut down in the area he visited.

To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs(狐猴).

Lee Ann Laraway has polio (小兒麻痹癥) and is not able to move very much. Most things are out of reach for her. Jeannie, a Labrador retriever, acts as her arms and legs. Jeannie understands 72 or more different commands. On a shopping trip, she can get money for Lee Ann at the bank or candies at the store. She can pay the cashier (收銀員) and get change back. Jeannie brings things to Lee Ann and puts them in her lap.
Jeannie was trained at a place called Canine Companions for Independence, located on twelve acres of land in Santa Rosa (California). The land was donated (捐贈) by the cartoonist Charles Shultz. “We train four different types of dogs here,” said Ken Kirsh, a dog trainer there. “Hearing dogs, service dogs, skilled companion dogs, and facility dogs.”
Trainers work with Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers for hours a day, but not every dog is good enough to be a working dog.
The work is a serious business. Hearing dogs warn their owners of sounds like ringing telephones and doorbells. Other dogs work with disabled patients like eight-year-old Noah Habib who communicates with a special computer. He likes it when people come to ask him about his dog. His father says, “People are really interested in the dog and will come over and ask to pet her and play with her, and ask about what she does, and these are people that normally might not approach us and want to talk to Noah.”
When Lee Ann Laraway comes home with Jeannie and her goods, Jeannie helps her open the door. “You can train a dog to do a lot of things.” said Lee Ann.
小題1:According to this passage, we can know that Jeannie is Lee Ann’s        .
A．servantB．daughterC．dogD．mother
小題2:Jeannie can help Lee Ann do all the following things EXCEPT___________.
A．go to the bank to get money
B．pay for what Lee Ann buys in the shop
C．bring things home
D．do some cooking at home
小題3:People want to talk to Noah mainly because         .
A．he is good at training dogs
B．he is not only honest but also lovely
C．they want to play with his dog
D．they want to ask him for help
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Dogs are helpful to peopleB．Four kinds of dogs
C．Jeannie, a very clever dogD．How to train working dogs
小題5:What kind of dogs are not trained in the center?
A．Dogs that warn their owners of sounds like doorbells.
B．Dogs that help their blind owners cross over a road.
C．Dogs that open the door for their owners.
D．Dogs that work with children who have polio.

Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns. Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”. But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed. “Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid,” Fujiyama says. “And I had a second chance.”
During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance.
Today, his organization, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need.
He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. “When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up,” he says. “I knew I had to keep fighting.” He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. “She’s dynamite,.” He says. “When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything.” Since 2006, the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.
Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organization. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full time to coordinate（協(xié)調）the group’s building efforts on the ground.
Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them didn’t have access to clean water or health care, and they didn’t have a school. Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”. The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.
小題1: At the beginning of his organization, ________.
A．Fujiyama was supported by many friendsB．things didn’t go on smoothly
C．Fujiyama had little idea of HondurasD．many famous people joined in
小題2: We can infer that Fujiyama is a _______ man.
A．diligentB．meanC．sympatheticD．cheerful
小題3: The underlined word “siblings’ ” can be replaced by __________.
A．brothers’B．brother and sister’sC．friends’D．couple’s
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Help the people in need
B．Students lend a hand in America
C．Fujiyama helps build “Sunshine Village”
D．Fujiyama gives poor people in Honduras a second chance
