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(捐赠物). 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(资助) 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.

1.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

2.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

3.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.

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

A. What to Buy at Charity Shops.

B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.

D. The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.

There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US.

In 1978, 50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licences. In 2008, according to the US Transportation Department, it was just 30%. The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978, when 11,989,000 had licences. In 2010, it was 9, 932,441, or 4.1% of American drivers.

In the UK, 683,273 teenagers have driving licences—just 1.85% of total licence holders, according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.

But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states, which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving.

In recent years, the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever. Car use began falling in 2007, when average petrol prices almost doubled to $ 4.12 a gallon, and the economy became worse.

But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and America remains a country on wheels. It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world.

“Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America. You have to take into consideration some places don’t have access to public transportation. Cars are the only way some people can get around,” says Kristin Nevels. This makes driving necessary in some rural states, where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.

1.The underlined word “declining” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.

A. rising B. dropping

C. improving D. holding

2.In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because of .

A. traffic jams B. harder tests

C. expensive petrol D. worst economy

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin Nevels .

A. doubts the popularity of the car use in the future

B. thinks American people cannot live without Cars

C. holds a confident attitude to the cars’ future in America

D. believes America should build up its public transportation

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A. The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.

B. A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.

C. The US has very developed bus transportation systems.

D. Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.

I have just arrived in a country where I don’t know the language, where I have no family roots and where I find myself all alone. It may sound frightening. But let me tell you a little secret: it is not.

When you travel abroad by yourself for whatever reason—exchange program, internship, volunteering, or simply as a tourist—a new and fascinating world will open up for you. A world you would have never been able to see if you had just stayed at home.

People from a different country are not aliens. They are simply people like you who happened to be born in another region. They have pretty much the same wishes and worries as people from your own country.

I know that you see a lot of news on TV saying terrible things people do all the time. Your family may have spent a great deal of time telling you not to trust strangers. However, when you travel alone you will realize that people are just as good as you. Everyone is just leading their lives, working, studying and having a good time with their friends. Most people will be happy to help you and get to know you.

Maybe in the past when you would need months to travel from one place to another, traveling could be expensive. Nowadays, the world is just so connected that it is perfectly possible to find cheap flights, accommodation for all budgets and cheap and quality food.

You will get lost, but it’s fine! I can’t even count how many times I didn’t know where I was going or how to find the right direction. Everything looks great on Google maps, but sometimes your phone will die or your data will end. Just calm down. Go to a store or stop someone in the street and ask! Or simply walk around and be curious.

1.Why does the author write about his own experience in Paragraph 1?

A. To encourage people to travel. B. To tell the benefits of traveling.

C. To show it is hard to travel alone. D. To introduce the topic of the passage.

2.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that______.

A. the reasons why the author goes abroad

B. traveling abroad can open up our eyes

C. most people go abroad simply for volunteering

D. traveling abroad is better than traveling at home

3.The underlined word “aliens” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to people who ______.

A. don’t like you B. are not good looking

C. are different from you D. have the same wishes as you

4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. The terrible foreign news on TV is not true.

B. There’s no need to worry too much about traveling alone.

C. People in foreign countries live a different life.

D. It is dangerous to trust strangers when traveling alone.
