14、Millie was a very lonely girl without friends. She always longed (渴望) so much for love.
One morning Millie found two hungry and weak songbirds while walking in the forest near her house. She took them
home and put them in a small cage. After being looked after well with love, the two birds luckily grew strong little by
little. Every morning they said hello to Millie with a wonderful song. Millie felt great love for the birds.
One day, Millie left the door to the cage open carelessly. The larger and stronger one of the two birds flew out of the cage.
Millie was afraid that the bird would fly away, so as the bird flew close, she caught him wildly. Her heart felt glad of her
success in catching him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go limp (无力的). She opened her hand and watched the dying bird
in fear until it was dead. It was her desperate love that had killed him.
Millie noticed the other bird moving back and forth in the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to
fly into the clear and blue sky. Unwillingly (不情愿地), Millie lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air.
The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times around Millie.
Millie’s heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she actually wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily.
From time to time, the bird flew closer and landed on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest tune that Millie had ever
heard.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tight, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

15、There are millions of charities in the UK. In fact, you can hardly think of any good business that doesn’t have a
charity linked (联系的) toit.
The British people are so generous with charities. A lot of people are quite prepared to donate money to charities, even
when they are short of money themselves. There are many reasons why people give money to charities. Sometimes it’s a
personal reason, say their parents died of cancer so they give money to cancer research, or of a religious reason. Many
religions (宗教) encourage their followers to donate a part of their income (收入) to the poor. Many religious people feel
it is their duty to help others as part of their faith (信仰). Still, other people just give donations because they have some
spare money and they think it is a good thing to do.
Many people think it is necessary to give donations to charities because they wish to make the lives and situations of
those in need better.
The British government has made it quite easy for people to give money to charity as you can pay through your payroll
(工资单). So when you get your salary, you automatically (自动地) get some money taken out and give it to charity.
Some people have some money taken out to give to charities, such as Save the Children Fund, thinking it is a good way
to save children around the world.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．The UK. B．The religion. C．A business. D．A charity.

A．two B．three C．four D．five
3．The passage is mainly about ______.
A．charities in the UK
B．the history of the charities in the UK
C．the generous and kind people in the UK
D．the relationship between the British government and charities

17、China has ended its one-child policy(政策) in 2015. The government announced it would now allow all couples to
have two children. The one-child policy was a population control measure that was introduced in 1979. Policy makers
hoped to control the country’s population to avoid high rates of poverty(贫穷).
The new two-child policy should give a huge economic(经济) push for China and prevent China from becoming an
ageing society. China’s labor(劳动力) force peaked at 940 million in 2012. This fell to 930 million in 2014 and is expected
to fall by 29 million by 2020. Predictions are that there will be an average of 2.5 million extra newborns per year. This
will provide more workers and an extra $11.8 billion in annual GDP. The new policy will affect around 100 million
people.

In our daily life, we always come to the question “What is the real beauty” Different people have different ideas. Last
18、
night, I read a true story from the newspaper. It’s about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She lived alone, making a
living by picking things from rubbish heaps (垃圾堆). However, she took in more than ten homeless children and tried to
bring them up .Every day she worked from 6: to 8: In order to earn as much money as possible to raise
the children and to keep them in school, she even went to a local hospital to sell her blood(血) once a month. She got so
weak because of the loss of blood that she sometimes felt sick on her way home. When asked why she chose to take care
of so many children, she smiled and answered,“Oh, I love children and I like to live together with them because they
always bring me great happiness.” Though the old woman was poor, she was full of love and rich in the local
government and people in her city truly respected her. Maybe you can’t help thinking,“What makes that poor woman so
different?” It is nothing else but her inner (内部的) beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of money. So
the real beauty is the beauty in one’s heart, that is, the inner beauty!

19、Dear Xiaohua,
Glad to receive your letter. You asked me how to use a dictionary to learn English. Here are some of my thoughts.
Words in a dictionary are called entries. Each entry has five sections, such as pronunciation, part of speech, definition,
usage and word group. Of course, sometimes the same word has different parts of speech and definitions.
Using dictionaries can solve problems in vocabulary learning. When we meet a new word, with the help of a dictionary,
we can not only find out its pronunciation, but also know its meaning. A dictionary is of great benefit to English learning.
First of all, it can help us understand the meaning of words accurately. Secondly, it can enrich our knowledge and
exercise our thinking. Finally, it can help us learn to express our ideas.
I hope it's helpful to you.
Yours
Ann
