If you watch British television on March15，you might be surprised to see celebrities(名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around.But don't worry.They're not mad.It's all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.

Founded in1985by two British comedians，the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows.For example，UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction，which the band produced for the event.

Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year，but they do it all year round.One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops.These small shops sell clothes，books and household goods just like any other shop except that it's all secondhand.

There are nearly10,000charity shops in the UK.Their business model is simple：Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop，where they are checked for damage，cleaned and priced.The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.

The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant，but for shoppers who have less spending money，it has been a welcome option.Now，shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion.“You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them.”said Anne Marie，a19­year­old from the US.

So next time you spot a charity shop，why not go inside？Who knows，you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better，you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.

[2017·江西都昌一中二模]

It's9a．m.，the morning rush hour in Toronto.A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly.Several passers­by stop to help the man.One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits911，the emergency number.__1__Within ten minutes，the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and is sent to the hospital for life­saving treatment.

This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities.Over the years，cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies.__2__But none of this would be possible without the cooperation of car drivers who yield(让路)to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets.In fact，it's against the law for drivers not to yield.

To yield means to give away or，more specifically，to get out of the way.__3__As yet，China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield，whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles.__4__Drivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance's siren.

In Canada，failing to yield to an ambulance vehicle can result in a fine of$400­$2,000and reduction of three points off your license.That's for a first offense.__5__This punishment is severe because lives are in danger.

A．It has resulted in many lives being saved.

B．A second offense results in a bigger fine，the loss of your driver's license for two years and a possible jail sentence.

C．It saves lives and，who knows，someday it may save your own.

D．Three minutes later，sirens(警报)are heard in the distance as a police car，an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area.
