On a cold Sunday morning, I went to Game Stopa video game retailer (零售商), to cancel the game Id booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldnt walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her sons Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee (雇员) wasnt willing to help. She gave me about $100 in cash and her credit card.I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocket her cash? She couldnt know I wasnt a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much?I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her cardit was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. “This is what my sons been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel！” she said. She gave me $10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away.She had no idea how much of a difference even $10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being gifted something amazing.1What can we infer from Paragraph 1?AThe author canceled the video game for saving money.BThe author worked so hard that there was no time for games.CThe author was unwilling to help and kept a distance from the woman.DThe woman requested the author to purchase a Kinect for her sons birthday.2What can we know about the woman?AShe gave the author $10 for the video game.BShe chose the author because he was handsome.CShe might not know exactly how much the video game would cost.DShe didnt buy the video game by herself because of her laziness.3Which of the following words can best describe the author?AKind and honest.BBrave and curious.CHumorous and wise.DDetermined and energetic.BFor most of us, it seems that money makes the world go around. But it is not true for Mark Boyle, who has turned his life into an experiment and promised to live without any form of money.The British economics graduate was inspired by Gandhis call to be the change you want to see in the world. After six years working as the manager of a company, he decided to carry out a brave plan.“I was discussing the worlds problems with a friend one night, and we were trying to work out which one to devote our lives to，” he said. “Then it hit me because at the root of it all was money, so I decided to see if it was possible to do without money.”Mark sold his houseboat to prepare himself for his new life. And he got a caravan (大篷车) through an advertisement. The caravan was taken to the farm where he was to volunteer three days a week in return for space to live and grow his own vegetables.Although it hasnt always been easy, and there have been many challenges, 18 months later, Mark is still living this way.“The first few months were hard，” he admitted. “If you think about how annoying it is when you just move your house or change a job, imagine changing everything at once. But after several months, it became very easy.”Marks remarkable journey is recorded in his new book, The Moneyless Man, which explains that human society is fairer, happier and more secure when relationships are not influenced by money.4Why did Mark try to live without money?ABecause he got bored with his job and wanted to start a new kind of life.BBecause he was in need of money and wanted to sell his houseboat.CBecause he was inspired by Gandhis call to make a change in his life.DBecause he found it difficult to make money to pay off his debts.5What kind of idea does Mark Boyle put forward in his new book?AIt is money that makes the world go around.BGrowing vegetables on a farm is better than working as a manager in a company.CLife without money is tough, so one had better earn as much as possible.DIf peoples relationships are not influenced by money, human society may become fairer, happier and more secure.6Whats the main idea of the passage?AMark Boyle experimented to live without money.BMark Boyle was so poor that he had to live without money.CMark Boyles new life on a farm made him hate money.DMark Boyle was willing to live on the farm forever.7Whats the authors attitude towards Mark Boyle?ACritical.
