I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.

The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐贈物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.

Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.

The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（資助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.

The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______.

   A. its convenient location

   B. its great variety of goods

   C. its spirit of goodwill

   D. its nice shopping environment

The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____.

   A. sell cheap products

   B. deal with unwanted things

   C. raise money for patients

   D. help a foreign country

Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?

   A. The operating costs are very low.

   B. The staff are usually well paid.

   C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.

   D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.

Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

   A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.

   B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

   C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.

   D. The Public's Concern about Charity Shops.

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries.For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate (慶祝) each year，while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)害) or even a wonder.

There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months，but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year.Britain is one such country，for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems.Within hours of the first snowfall，however light，roads are locked，trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic.Normal communications are affected as well，telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual.Almost within hours，there are also certain shortages (短缺)—bread，vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops，but mainly because people are frightened，and go out to store up these commodities (goods)，“Just for fear that something bad should happen”．

Why then does snow have this effect？After all the Swiss，Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems.It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation.We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice.To keep the roads clear，for example，requires snow­ploughs and machines to spread salt.The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snowploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year，and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals，education or helping the old.

51．According to the writer，Britain is a country________.

A．which has regular snow

B．which is not well prepared for snow

C．for which snow is a catastrophe

D．for which snow is a wonder

52．After a few hours’snowing there are often shortages of food because________.

A．shops have closed down

B．people buy as much as they can

C．farmers cannot produce any more

D．people eat more vegetables in winter

53．The main reason that the British do not buy snow­ploughs is that________.

A．spreading salt is good enough

B．old people need more money

C．snowploughs are not used often

D．the hospital is more important

54．The words “two extremes” in the second paragraph refer to the countries________.

A．which have lots of snow most of the year and those which hardly ever have any snow

B．which either have heavy snow or light snow

C．to which snow either causes problems or no problems

D．which either have snowploughs or no snowploughs

55．It is a wonder to see snow in________.

In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It is common for people
to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend, or attend a wedding or birthday

flowers to his mother to express his gratitude for her. He owing his entire life to his mother’s kind

Most shops in Britain open at 9:00 am, and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. Small shops usually close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week—usually Thursday and/or Friday—some large food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.

Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.

Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.

Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.

When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排隊(duì)).
