到乌蒙山区的昭通;从甘肃中部的定西，到内蒙古边陲的阿尔山，看真贫、知真贫，真扶贫、扶真贫，成为“花的精力最多”的事;“扶贫先扶志”“扶贫必扶智”“实施精准扶贫”Unit 3 A taste of English humour. 阅读理解When Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the world wide web reading simply，“Join Me. Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.Its not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says，“They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, Im usually out on Friday so I go for one of the standard actsthe unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking, and say,“Ive bought you a coffee” and walk away. Its a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didnt know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didnt know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didnt. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say,“This is for you”, then you go. Its hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. Youve got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a 10 note down and said，“Thats for me and the next nine people.” So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them its an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.1.When Londoners see someone in trouble, they .A.often give a handB.stop and ask questionsC.pretend not to have seen itD.telephone the police2.According to the passage, members of Join Me often .A.put an advertisement on the worldwide webB.go out and make friends with strangersC.do an act of kindness every FridayD.buy coffees for the strangers3.The underlined expression in the third paragraph possibly means .A.finding something very difficultB.doing something without much effortC.making a few mistakesD.experimenting to get the right result4.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Hit-and-run KindnessB.History of Join MeC.Danny Wallace and Join MeD.Why not Join MeOne day the employees of a large company in St.Louis,Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said,“Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects.Everyone wondered:“Who is this person that was hindering my progress?Well, at least hes no longer here.” One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless.They stood over the coffin,shocked and in silence,as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.There was a mirror inside the coffin.Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.

Then consider sitting by the window the next time you eat out. The researchers measured and mapped 1 design of each restaurant and then used meal checks 2 （track） what diners ordered and how it related to where they sat.The results were telling: people sitting 3 （far） from the front door ate the fewest salads and 4 （be） 73 per cent more likely to order dessert. Those 5 （seat） at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it, 6 diners sitting at high-top bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts.The darker it is, the more “invisible” you might feel, the less easy 7 is to see how much youre eating and the less guilty you might feel. Seeing the sunlight, 8 （passer-by） or trees outside might make you more aware 9 how you look, might make you think about walking or might inspire you to choose a green salad.The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By 10 （eat） more slowly, the diner spends less time it takes for the brain to fell full.短文改错Childhood is a time when there are little duties. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved no matter when he may do. Its impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life. But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he had done wrong.When the young man starts to make their own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents. Therefore, he can no longer expect others to pay his food, his clothes, and his room. He has to work hard to live comfortable. If so, he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society.答案.阅读理解A语篇导读：文章简述了公益组织“Join Me”的成立，介绍了作者作为成员之一，每周五做一件善事的经历，最后说明了这一组织存在的意义。1.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段内容可知，伦敦人一般不和陌生人说话，遇到有困难的陌生人会装作没看见一样走开，故选C项。【答案】C2.【解析】细节理解题。由第三段第一句的内容可知，“Join Me”的成员每周五做一件善事，故选C项。【答案】C3.【解析】词义猜测题。联系第三段“trial and error”的上下文可知，作者一开始并不懂如何请陌生人喝咖啡，经过反复试验后才发现合适的方式，故选D项。【答案】D4.【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要围绕“Join Me”的成员每周五以做完就跑的方式行善事这一主题来展开，故选A项。【答案】AB语篇导读：是谁阻碍了你的发展?是谁挡住了你前进的脚步?是别人吗?本文告诉我们，真正阻碍你发展的恰恰是你自己。5.C写作意图题。从最后三段的排比句可知，命运掌握在自己手中，你只有改变自己才能改变命运，所以答案选C项。6.A事实细节题。人们看到的是镜子而非死去的同事。7.A逻辑推理题。从文章内容可推出,这次活动很可能是公司老板有意为员工设计的，主要目的在于告诉员工，真正阻碍自己成长和发展的不是别人,而是自己。所以前门上的字很可能是老板写的，而不是其他人。8.B逻辑推理题。文章告诉我们一个道理：真正阻碍你发展的恰恰是你自己。这一课将会让员工铭记在心，大大地影响他们。.语法填空【答案】1.the 2.to track 3.farthest/fu
