Article: A senior United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children s welfare. A. H. M. Farook, UNICEF's operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China "can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily." China's child population makes up one-filth of the world's total. "The reason behind the tremendous achievement is China's long tradition of caring for children home at home and in society." he said. "What's more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need." The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children's Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing. The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a "Share the Sunshine" party, as a prelude to celebrations to mark the Children's Day. The Beijing children s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China, was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children. A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends about 400 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese worker earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year. Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development foundation (CYDF), said people from all walks of life had contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children. She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling. By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms. Three "Hope Stars" also attended the party. They were model teenagers... Question: We can infer from the text that_. - Only the rich donate money to help poor children continue schooling. - All the children in the poverty-stricken regions of China are too poor to go to school. - CYDF has helped millions of dropouts go on with their schooling - With the help of UNICEF officials, there are no more dropouts in China.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Autumn means different things to different people. "It all depends on your personality," said British naturalist Richard Mabey. "Personality shapes your view of the season," he said. "You may see it as a fading-away,a packing-up ,or as a time of packing in another sense--the exciting gathering of resources before a long journey." If this is true,perhaps it tells us a little about,for instance,Thomas Hood,the 19th Century English poet. About November,he wrote: No warmth,no cheerfulness,no healthful ease No shade,no shine,no butterflies,no bees November! On the other hand,another English poet John Keats,already sensing he was seriously ill,was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language,To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it. According to Richard Mabey,Keats has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down,but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example,just at the moment that Keats's "gathering swallows" ( in To Autumn)are departing for Africa,millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland,Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists,before falling,the leaves transfer their chlorophyll and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe keeping over winter. What remains is the natural antioxidants in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids ,and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn,the bright-red anthocyanin .High colour is not a signal of deterioration and decline,but of detox ability and good health. A century after Keats,the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: "Suppose we saw ourselves burning-like maples in a golden autumn. And that we could break up like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll. Wouldn't our attitude towards death be different?" Question: From Thomas Hood's poem,we may infer that _ . - he suffered a lot from cold November - he missed the shining summer days very much - he had a negative attitude towards autumn - he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much
(A).
he had a negative attitude towards autumn

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: When I was young, I lived on my mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees and when it was cold, we had a nice warm wooden house. As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother used to go out to work during the daytime and come back in the evening. There were six young colts in the field besides me; they were older than I; some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I used to run with them, and had great fun; we used to gallop all together in the field. Sometimes we had rather play rough, for others would frequently bite, kick as well as gallop. One day, when there was a good deal of kicking, my mother came to me and said, "I expect you to pay attention to what I am going to say. The colts who live here are very good colts, but they are cart horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners. You have been well-bred and well-born. I hope you will grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways. I hope you do your work with a good will, lift your feet up well when you move quickly, and never bite or kick." I have never forgotten my mother's advice. I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master gave us good food; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all fond of him. When my mother saw him at the gate, she would neigh with joy. He would pat and touch her and say, "Well, Pet, how is your little Darkie?" Then he would give me a piece of bread and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. _ There was a plowboy, Dick, who sometimes came into our field to pick blackberries. When he had eaten all he wanted, he would throw stones and sticks at us. We did not much mind him, for we could gallop off; but sometimes a stone would hurt us. One day he was at this game. Our master saw what was going on, so he jumped and caught Dick by the arm,... Question: According to passage, Daniel is probably _ . - a wise horse - a kind feeder - the master's son - a new plowboy
(A).
a kind feeder
