Compassion（同情）is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into action.An
experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the
elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness.But last
Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register（收
款机）with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his
cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he
would be like if fortune had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I
told him that I was sorry,but store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my
job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.If anything,he looked more pitiable."Charge it to me,"
was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft and safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.
I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the
 
5
biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me
compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take his credit card with him

D. He expected someone else to pay for the old man.

C. Pity is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
C
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy,warm,damp and thick.But if you had
been around 15,000 years ago,during the last ice age,would it have been the same?For more than 30 years,scientists
have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold,dry climates of the ice ages,
but until now,no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global
 
6
warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total
amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to future climate change?If it gets drier,
will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ?
Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by
understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately,getting into the Amazon rainforest
and collecting information are very difficult.To study past climate,scientists need to look at fossilized pollen,kept in
lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments（沉淀物）which requires
specialized equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths,or places to land helicopters and
aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers
completely unsampled（未取样）.So far,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and
none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
8. What does the underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Giving up B. Taking in
C. Wiping out D. Giving out
9. How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?
A. It'll get drier and continue to remove CO2 .
B. It'll remain steamy,warm,damp and thick.
C. It'll get warmer and then colder and drier.
D. There is no exact answer up to present.
10. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It's hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.
B. It's impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.
C. It's important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.
D. It's necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.
11. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Studies of the Rainforests.
B. Climates of the Amazon.
C. Secrets of the Ice Age.

D. Changes of the Rainforests.
D
Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer
periods of time,according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health
Sciences.The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the "5-second rule"—the belief about it being
fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less.Although people have long followed
the "5-second rule",until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.
The study,undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton,Professor of Microbiology at
Aston University,monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet, cement
floor to toast,pasta,biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds.The results showed that:
time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food,and the type of flooring the
food has been dropped on has an effect,with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to
transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. Professor Hilton
said,"Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria
are present on the floor at the time."
The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the “five-second rule”.The survey
showed that: 87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor,or already have done so.55%
of those that would,or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women.81% of the women who would eat food from
the floor would follow the "5-second rule".Professor Hilton added,"Our study showed that a surprisingly large
majority of people are happy to consume dropped food,with women the most likely to do so.But they are also more
likely to follow the "5-second rule",which our research has shown to be more than an old wives’ tale."
12. Which kind of food is not used in the study?
A. Toast bread B. Italian noodles
C. Chips D. Sticky candy
13. How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?
A. Puzzled B. Upset
C. Satisfied D. Astonished
14. According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?
 
8
A. Most men would follow the "5-second" rule.
B. People who would eat food dropped on the floor are in the minority.
C. Bacteria are easier to transfer from cement floors than carpeted surfaces.
D. Food dropped on the cement floor is less likely to be polluted than that on the carpet.
15. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.
B. The research may provide some scientific evidence to the "5-second rule".
C. The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.
D. People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.
