There are millions of charities in the UK. In fact, you can hardly think of any good business that doesn’t have a charity linked (联络的) to it.
The British people are so generous with charities. A lot of people are quite prepared to donate money to charities, even when they are short of money themselves. There are many reasons why people give money to charities. Sometimes it’s a personal reason, say their parents died of cancer so they give money to cancer research, or of a religious reason. Many religions (宗教) encourage their followers to donate a part of their income (收入) to the poor. Many religious people feel it is their duty to help others as part of their faith (崇奉). Still, other people just give donations because they have some spare money and they think it is a good thing to do.
Many people think it is necessary to give donations to charities because they wish to make the lives and situations of those in need better.
The British government has made it quite easy for people to give money to charity as you can pay through your payroll (工资单). So when you get your salary, you automatically (自动地) get some money taken out and give it to charity. Some people have some money taken out to give to charities, such as Save the Children Fund, thinking it is a good way to save children around the world.
28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The UK. B. The religion. C. A business. D. A charity.
29. According to Paragraph 2, the number of reasons why the British people are generous with charities is _______.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
30. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. charities in the UK
B. the history of the charities in the UK
C. the generous and kind people in the UK
D. the relationship between the British government and charities

While many women are busy with planning their bridal showers (新娘送礼会), a baby shower usually comes as a complete surprise. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕的) woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.
The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Predicting the date of a baby’s birth isn’t always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone’s home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.
Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (挂号) a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren’t repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom only needed 15.
At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.
31. The underlined word “Predicting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. 恭喜 B. 猜测 C. 错失 D. 记住
32. Who was only invited to a baby shower traditionally?
A. Men. B. Children. C. Women. D. Pregnant women.
33. Why does a mother-to-be register a wish list of things?
A. To prevent others from buying the repeat items.
B. To remind herself to buy some items for the party.
C. To remember to buy the necessary things for her friends.
D. To invite friends or family members to the baby shower.
34. What can friends and family members do at a baby shower?
A. Play games. B. Get some money and gifts.
C. Feed the baby. D. Register a wish list of things.
35. According to the passage, we know that ______.
A. the baby shower only happens at home
B. the baby shower never takes place after the baby is born
C. people have baby showers instead of bridal showers now

“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.
Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!”
But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”
After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan’s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!
He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. “Rover wishes me to come away, I see,” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.
What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover.
Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.
The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (山崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all—Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.
“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons’ home.
“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother’s arms.
“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand—just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl.’ And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that.”
Some years later, Rover came to Maggie’s home with a little note, in which was written— “Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”
36. Which word can best describe Maggie?
A. Funny. B. Helpful. C. Creative. D. Silly.

B. Rover felt sad about Mrs. Western’s death
C. Rover lived with Old Dan until his master died
D. Maggie became Rover’s master at once after she was saved

C. One person’s pleasure may be another’s pain.
D. People often forget what is really important in our lives.
