It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I was triage nurse (分診護(hù)士) that day. I didn’t _36_many patients, so I was not happy about having to _37_ on Christmas. Just then, five bodies _38_at my desk: a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked _39_.“Yes,” the woman said weakly. But when they got to describe their problems, things got a little _40_. Two of the children had headaches, _41_ they weren’t holding their heads like headache sufferers _42_ do. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to _43_ it.
_44_ was wrong, but I didn’t say anything except that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She _45_ , “Take your time; it’s _46_ in here.”
Then I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No _47_–- they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The smallest one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the tree.
I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a _48_ family in the waiting room. The nurses, irritated about having to work on Christmas, suddenly felt _49_ for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into _50_, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. Only this time it was a Christmas emergency.
We were each entitled to a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we _51_ that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. From various departments, we _52_candies, crayons and other suitable items. As seriously as we met the physical _53_ of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and go beyond the _54_ , of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family walked to the door to _55_, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(煉銅廠),and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on, something happened inside him.

Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was “No”.

Paul then went to college to study the science of plants.Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.It would be a waste of his life to try to do it.Everyone knew that, he was told.Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.

Paul later got married and had some kids.But his dream would not die.And then one night he did what he could with what he had.As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense.Slowly rabbits appeared.Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.

Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

When Paul was a boy,______________.

       A.he had decided never to leave his hometown

       B.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

       C.no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution

       D.he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area

Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants?

       A.Because he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.

       B.Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young.

       C.Because he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.

       D.Because he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive.

What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to?

       A.That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.

       B.That his normal work and life would be greatly affected.

       C.That no one would like to join him in the efforts.

       D.That he had to keep everything he did secret.

The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because___________.

     A.they realized the importance of environmental protection

     B.What Paul was doing moved them

     C.Paul persuaded them to help him

     D.they had legal pressure

The message of the passage is that _____________.

       A.a(chǎn)ction speaks louder than words

       B.perseverance(持之以恒)will work wonders

       C.God helps those who help themselves

       D.many hands make light work

Over the past 20 years, AIDS and war have claimed the parents of 2.4 million Ugandan children.When Alexis Hefley first visited the country,, in 1993, she saw the children's sorrow, but the former Texas banker also spotted "a world of possibility".She watched as they danced for tourists to earn money, and she had a thought: If people in America could see them perform, they'd support them too.                   

The children's passion and talent inspired Hefley to work with the kids at an orphanage(孤兒院)in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, to organize a traveling dance troupe(團(tuán)).The goals: to give the problems in Uganda a human face, to raise awareness and to raise money.

The first tour touched down at six American cities in 1994.Today, the 22-member troupe, known as the Spirit of Uganda, travels across America every two years.The young performers bring their energy and joy to audiences across the U.S.a(chǎn)nd help support hundreds of Ugandan orphans back home.Among the young dancers, some earn scholarships to attend the U.S.colleges, and then return to their country to help rebuild it.

Photojournalist Douglas Menuez first photographed the troupe in 2006 -?a project that led to his new book, Transcendent Spirit, from which these images are drawn.At each performance, the dancers' faces show pure joy, quite an achievement given the hardships they've faced."They look to the future, not the past," explains Menuez."They embrace beauty and good in the world." As one dancer puts it, "People think we have lost our parents.We've had so many problems.But then they see us perform.They see our smiles.And they learn that life goes on."

What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?     

       A.How miserable Ugandan orphans' life is.       

       B.How the dance troupe was set up.

       C.How the young dancers earned money.        

       D.How the orphans lost their parents.|

What do we learn about the Spirit of Uganda?            

       A.It was started by a journalist.

       B.It travels across the U.S.a(chǎn)nnually.

       C.It consists of two dozen performers.

       D.Its dancers have chances to study in the U.S.

In the eyes of Menuez, the young performers are_____. 

       A.beautiful            B.talented    C.optimistic      D.humorous

What might be the most suitable title for the passage?      

       A.Ugandan orphans turn tragedy into dance         

       B.Transcendent Spirit: A close look at Uganda           

       C.AIDS and war are claiming people's lives                 

       D.Lots of people are helping Ugandan orphans
