【題目】In many African countries, the care of orphans has been mainly led by foreign donor organizations. However, Sister Florence has changed all that. Using her own resources, Sister Florence is leading the work of raising orphans from different backgrounds. Sister Florence Wanjala’s biggest motivation to start the orphan program was when she saw a little boy whose parents had died. The boy was living with a cruel grandparent and he would visit the grave of his mother, crying for support. Sister Wanjala wanted to give a helping hand and give him hope. From that time, she started feeling the call to help a larger number of orphans.

She opened an office with a few friends and coordinated (協(xié)調(diào))a program to help the orphans. All the registrations were done in the office and the program so far has 8000 children. Sister Wanjala said, “My dream is to help the orphan to live a holistic (完整)life and be a good Kenyan citizen to help this country. Many people think that the way to support orphans is to put them in an institution. Others support them up to the age of eighteen, but here, we do it very differently.” For Sister Wanjala, putting a child in an institution is normally her last choice . She prefers the orphans to live in a foster home.

She said, “I’m so encouraged and happy to see the orphans succeeding. When they come first or second in class, it shows how the program has helped them, and that’s encouraging to me as I continue to coordinate the program.” Through her charity work, more than 1000 orphans have been able to find a home. Sister Wanjala, as a mother, takes care of her own family.

1What inspired Sister Wanjala to start the orphan program

A. Her preference for kids.

B. Her own similar experience.

C. A sad story about an orphan.

D. Her successful charity work.

2Sister Wanjala opened an office mainly to ______.

A. set up as many institutions as possible for orphans

B. start a program to offer orphans a foster family

C. provide school education for those orphans

D. raise more money for the homeless kids

3What does the underlined sentence probably mean

A. She didn’t want orphans to live in an institution.

B. She preferred to put orphans into an institution.

C. She had no choice but to put orphans in institutions.

D. She sent orphans into an institution in the end.

4What can we learn from the text

C. Sister Wanjala was too busy to care for her own family.

D. Sister Wanjala was not alone in helping orphans.

【題目】Things to Start Doing for Yourself

Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year:

Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now but also accept who you want to be. 1

Start facing your problems head-on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. 2 With your problems, take baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, which add up to yards and miles in the long run.

3 Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest a- bout what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest about every aspect of your life because you are the person you can forever count on.

Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4 Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5 It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.

Start cheering for other people’s victories. Notice what you like about others and tell them. Be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings (賜福) openly.

A. Forgiveness is the medicine.

B. Mistakes are the stepping stones of progress.

C. They are the ones who make you feel more alive.

D. Start being honest with yourself about everything.

E. Problems will not disappear unless you take action.

F. It doesn’t mean you’re out of trouble.

G. You are in competition with yourself.

【題目】Staring lovingly at your reflection in the mirror gets old, especially if it's not a magical one that tells you you're the fairest of them all. But what if all that time you already spend in front of a mirror could actually make you the most beautiful person in the land? Many smart mirrors already make this promise, but HiMirror is the first one you can actually buy, and it costs $ 189. The secret comes in the form of a camera that takes pictures of your natural appearance to analyze your complexion (面色), before offering you tips on how to get better skin. I tried it out recently and was impressed by how many things it could do.

The 5. 5-pound mirror houses a 14-inch LCD screen and has a camera sitting in the middle of a ring flash, which helps light your face for better images. HiMirror takes a picture of your face every day to analyze your wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles and red spots. The idea is to track how your skin changes over time, and flag your so-called problems so you can take early measures to improve upon your skin and achieve your beauty goals. HiMirror pairs with an IOS or Android app so you can track your complexion on the go.

In addition, HiMirror will play tutorial videos on proper skin-care techniques, stream music from Spotify and show you the weather forecast and UV index for the day. You can also tell it the types of beauty products you use, so it can determine whether they've been effective in treating your target areas. Adding a product to what the company calls your "Beauty Box" simply requires holding up its bar code to the camera and scanning it. It's not clear yet how many brands and products this feature supports, but most big brands are recognized.

1How does HiMirror work?

A. By making you the most beautiful person in the world.

B. By introducing some specialists to give you some help.

C. By recommending the types of beauty products to you.

D. By taking photos of your face to analyze your complexion

2HiMirror tracks complexion with the help of____ .

A. a "Beauty Box" B. music from Spotify

C. the weather forecast D. an IOS Or Android app

3The last paragraph is mainly to tell us

A. how to use HiMirror properly B. other functions HiMirror has

C. when HiMirror goes on the market D. the inspiration of designing HiMirror

4What can be the best title for the text7

A. A magic mirror to make you beautiful

B. Some tips about using a smart mirror

C. A magic mirror to go on the market

D. Some reactions of using a smart mirror
