Part Two Reading comprehension Passage One

Choose the best choice according to the passage.

While traveling around with a busy sightseeing schedule, tourists may suffer from different kind of illnesses. They may get too tired or have heat-stroke if the weather is too hot. They may get hurt in certain activities such as bungee jumping and mountain climbing. Some tourists may have skin problems caused by certain kinds of plants, insects, or from eating seafood. Other tourists may have stomach trouble if they are not acclimatized to local water and food. Air-sickness, car-sickness or sea-sickness is also a problem for some travelers.

Clearly, it is necessary to pack a small first-aid kit with you if you go traveling. The kit should contain necessary medicine, sun cream, insect spray and some bank-aid. In addition to that, loose-fitting clothing, long dresses, long trousers and long-sleeved shirt fastened at the end are needed when traveling long distances outdoors. Remember, some insects can bite through

clothing if it lies closely against the skin. And some insect-carried diseases can even be dangerous.

At all times, personal cleanliness is of the greatest importance. You should always wash our hands after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food. About 20-50 per cent of tourists suffer from diarrhea caused by infections of various kinds of bacteria or viruses.

If you are with some friends from abroad traveling in China, you can suggest some local herbal products. Many traditional Chinese methods have been proved to be very effective and safe in treating certain illnesses. What if your friends are reluctant to try them? Facts are the most convincing advertisement. As with Western medicine, some Chinese herbal treatments could have a satisfactory result without any danger or side effects. For instance, medicated oil is good for both headache and insect bites. It is also helpful for other sicknesses. Chinese herbal teas can soothe both an upset stomach and mild heat-stroke. Yunnan White Medicine Spray will greatly reduce the pain of a stiff neck or a broken leg. All these have been widely accepted in many other countries outside China.

So bring some Chinese herbal products along in your first-aid kit and introduce them to our friends from abroad when you travel around China with them. Your friends will not only appreciate your kindness, but also get to know the satisfying effects of Chinese medicine.

1. If a tourist stays out. in the sunshine for too long, he may suffer from D

Read the passage carefully and judge whether the following statements are true or false. Write T/F accordingly.

The Loving Heart Will Go On

Carmen’s mother Maria had just survived a serious heart attack. But her life was in constant danger without a heart transplant.

Both the mother and daughter knew that the chances were very small: finding a donor her that matched Maria’s blood type

and body size could take years. However, Carmen was determined to save her mother’s life. The young woman kept contacting hospitals all over the country. She also stuck a card to her car. It read, “If I’m in an accident, please make sure my heart is donated to my mother who is on the third floor of Central Hospital”.

Days stretched into weeks. Weeks stretched into months. By Christmas, Maria had trouble walking from one end of the room to the other. Carmen was in despair. She fell into a corner of the hospital and began to cry.

“Are you okay?” a man asked.

“No,” she said, looking up. “My mother is dying.” Carmen sobbed as she told the stranger her story. This middle-aged man with a gentle manner was named Frank. His wife, Cheryl, a tender and devoted mother of four lovely children, had been in hospital with a brain disease. Doctors expected her to return home within a week.

However, things didn’t turn out as expected. Cheryl went into a deep coma. Frank was told that there was only a million-to-one chance. Tow days later, it became clear that Cheryl would not make it though the night. This time, Carmen found Frank standing against a wall, crying. “She’s leaving us. She’ll never wake up again.”

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He knew that Cheryl had always wanted to donate something from herself. She had been very open about it and had checked “yes”on her driver’s license. Could her heart go to Carmen’s mother?

After reviewing the data, doctors informed Frank that his wife’s heart was by some miracle a perfect fit for Carmen’s mother. They were able to carry out the transplant.

That night, when Cheryl was declared dead, Frank knocked at Maria’s door. She was sitting on the bed praying for Frank’s family as she had been doing every day recently. Though Maria had never met Frank before, they both felt a strange bond as they hugged and cried. Carmen stood by crying in a low voice, “I can never pay you back.” Her voice was choked with tears.

On New Year’s Eve, Carmen stood by Frank’s family at Cheryl’s funeral, who were singing one of their favorite songs, “My heart will go on.” One day later, on New Year’s Day, Maria woke up with Cheryl’s heart. Yes, Cheryl’s loving heart would go on, for it was alive in another loving mother’s chest.

1. Carmen helped her mother survive a bad heart attack. ( F ) 2. Maria's life couldn't be saved unless she had her heart replaced. ( T )

3. It's easy to find a donor heart for Maria's case. ( F ) 4. Frank felt hopeless about his wife's illness from the very beginning. ( F )

5. Cheryl had a loving heart for all people as well as her own children. ( T )

6. After Cheryl died, doctors found her heart a perfect match for Maria. ( F )

Passage Three

Choose the best choice according to the passage.

When my brothers, sister, and I were little, we were a big responsibility for my parents. We were very active children, so my parents had to be alert at all times. We were not always well-behaved and frequently did things my mother disapproved of. We got dirty when playing outside and made a lot of noise when playing inside. On occasion, we got into arguments with the neighbors' children; I still remember putting dirty water on a

neighbor's blond hair because we were arguing about something. I got into a lot of trouble for that.

My brothers, sister, and I always laughed and joked with each other. I can still remember how we joked with our older brother when he first was able to grow a beard.

My sister, however, did get very angry on several occasions. We always let each other use our belongings, but we had to ask permission before taking them. One time，I borrowed my sister's white dress without asking and got juice on it. When she found out, she screamed at me angrily, telling me that I was unreliable and infantile.

Choose the best choice according to the passage.

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get home quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers route through Germany and Austria.

How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren,

a flashing light -- and like magic everyone was out of the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problem. An o1d ambulance was for sale. The red cross has been removed. But not the flashing light --- or the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring.

It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and the motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and felled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.

But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident -- lights flashing too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he had assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.50.

A. so he asked the garage to paint another one on. B. but he soon put up a new one.

C. but the siren and flashing light still worked.

D. because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more.
