I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in the town of England.

As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat down beside us. He called the waiter over, saying, "Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall."

We heard his order with interest and saw that the waiter served him with one cup of coffee, but he paid for two.

When he left, the waiter put a piece of paper on the wall, saying "A cup of coffee". While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two but paid for three. This time also, the waiter did the same. It was something unusual for us, and I felt so curious about what was going on there.

After a few days, we had a chance to enter this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered and appeared homeless. He looked at the wall and said, "One cup of coffee from the wall."

The waiter served a cup of coffee to this man with respect. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all of this as the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the bin.

Now it was no surprise for us--the matter was very clear. The people of this town showed great respect for those who needed help.

Just think about what this man wanted. He didn't have to lose his face to ask for a free cup of coffee. Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee, he only looked at the wall, put an order, enjoyed his coffee and left.

It's a truly beautiful thing-probably the most beautiful wall anywhere in the world.

41. How many cups of coffee did the first man order?

A.None. B.One. C.Two. D.Three.

42. What did the waiter do after the homeless person drank his coffee?

A.He served him another cup pf coffee.

B.He threw a piece of paper from the wall.

C.He was amazed to watch the homeless person.

D.He asked the homeless person to pay for the coffee.

43. What does the word underlined"curious" mean in Paragraph 4?

A.兴奋的 B.恼火的 C.好奇的 D.无聊的

44. Why did people in the shop order more than one cup of coffee needed?

A.Because they were so rich people.

B.Because they ordered for the waiter.

C.Because they ordered for themselves next time.

D.Because they wanted to leave it to those who needed help.

45. What's the best title for the text?

A.The Person without Home.

B.The Coffee from the Wall.

C.The Waiter in the Coffee Shop.

D.The People in the Town.

   Looking for a new way to raise money for charity(慈善)? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don't give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity.

    How about organizing a car wash? Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why don't you and your classmates do the job? The money the car owners pay or having their cars washed will go towards your charity. When we did it, we had an amazing time!

You just need to find a suitable place, practice for a few hours with your friends first, and give it a try!

阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成图表中所缺的信息，并写在答题卡相应的位置。

If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unluckily, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you wanted to get from that experience.

As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do it with no thought at all and the experience will make your writing better. Just read for pleasure to begin with, not to learn. As you progress through his work, think about whether or not it is “easy” reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the article sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and sentences that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter (后者) situations are a chance to learn from the writer’s mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing”... He should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time you think of a wrong or improper word, stop to think about why it has this effect (影响). Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but enjoy it from the whole.

As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to get your writing improved. The key is not to make it boring. Choose writers you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.
