So, he and his wife,Oltita, went to Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, to get legal papers to move to Germany.However, when they arrived,they were surprised by what they saw.“Hundreds of streetchildren were living in a busy and dirty city of two and a half million people. Many of themwere using drugs. They all seemed lost. Most of them were under ten years old. Oltita hadtears in her eyes," Catalin said.Many of these streets children were orphans (孤儿)。

They had grown up in thegovernment orphanages, but had run away. They thought any place would be better than theorphanages. But the streets were cold and hard. The winters were freezing. The children had tosleep in warm sewers (下水道) under the ground. Many of the children even became involvedwith crime and violence (暴力).The Baciu's did not like the sight of so many pitiful children in Bucharest. They wantedto leave immediately and go to Germany. However, that night, Catalin and Oltita stayed with afriend in Buchares. "The friend we were staying with was working with street children. I wasdeeply touched by what he and his follows were trying to o...they were sacrificing (牺牲)their jobs and lives to save street children," Catalin said.After that visit, the Baciu's completely changed their life plan. Instead of moving toGermany, they began working with street children in Bucharest. They started by opening ahome called House of Hope, which provided a warm and loving place for children who neededto get away from the streets. Many hospitals and business workers called House of Hope whenthey found troubled kids. Everyone knew the House of Hope would help.4. Oltita had tears in her eyes because_______.A. she felt pity for the street childrenB. she almost lost her way in BucharestC. she didn't get legal papersD. she would leave Romania5.

Have you everbought something just because the salesman talked you into it?Many people are afraid to assert (坚持)themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of STANDUP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low. "There'salways a superior around--- a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better" But Albert andother scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer assertiveness training courses, A. T. for short. In the A. T . course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. course willhelp the timid person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive to share theneed.The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If your face ismore important than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers toproblems. However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out.8.

One thing the AT. course doesn't dois to________.A. share the need of peopleB. show people they have a right to be themselvesC. help people overcome fearD. help people to assert themselves even if others sufferDBefore a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. Butthereare two tests more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other isvery dangerous.The first of these is called the"tank test". A modern airliner must fly at very highaltitudes.Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure ofthe plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air pressesagainst the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like ahuge, giant foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the planewould explode in the sky. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a hugetank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever willbe when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damageinside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of theplane has cracked. This part will be made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in theair. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines are all shut off at once.He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off. The plane begins to fall like astone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he gets control of the plane again. These two testsareexamples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.12. The purpose of the tank test is to find out_______.A. how much air can be pumped into a planeB. how much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudesC. what would happen if the plane crashed in the waterD. if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure13. The test is carried out under water because______.A. the pressure of water is greater than airB. the first Comets crashed in the waterC. there is less damage when the explosion happens under waterD. this is the only way engineers can find out which part has cracked14. Why the second important test which the author refers to is most dangerous one isprobablythat_________.A. the metal structure of the plane is not very strongB. too much air may get into the planeC. the pilot may lose control ofthe planeD. the plane begins to fall like a stone15. This passage is mainly about______.A. the plane structureB. the importance of flying safelyC. the way of pumping air into the planeD. two important tests on airplanes第二节.七选五(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
