I went to a volunteer orientation（志愿者活动情况介绍会） at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital in California several days ago.
Before I went there, I thought it was just a meeting for us to learn some basic information on how to do volunteer work. To my surprise, this meeting lasted for four hours! It told us in detail how to be a good volunteer at hospital.
For example, Graham, the director, told us to keep eye contact while offering help and never wait to be asked but offer help first. She also told us to bend down（弯下腰） to listen while patients are talking to show that we’re willing to hear. We should lead them to ask others for help if we can’t answer their questions and never say: it is not my business.
For the whole meeting, Miss Graham taught us how to satisfy patients through our words, body language and manners. It impressed me a lot. Americans pay so much attention to serving people with a professional attitude（专业的态度）.
I suddenly realized why many people feel foreigners are really nice and friendly. They have been trained to do so since they were young. They always ask themselves: How do people feel toward my service? How can I improve to let them feel better? I really like this kind of culture.According to the first two paragraphs, we learn the following about the volunteer orientation EXCEPT ____.
| A．it was held in a hospital |
| B．it lasted for four hours |
| C．it told people how to be a good volunteer at hospital |
| D．it talked about the kinds of volunteer work there are |

| B．why the meeting was successful |
| C．cultural differences between China and the US |
| D．what the writer learned from the meeting |
What does the writer think of such culture in the US?

| B．She doesn’t like it. |
| C．She feels that it is hard to understand. |
| D．She thinks only the US has this kind of culture. |
London used to be “foggy”--- the “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was caused by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. It didn’t allow people to born coal in any British city. A few years later, the air became much cleaner.
Today many Chinese cities face the same problem with air pollution that London faced sixty years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of pollution comes from big factories, rather than from the coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were suddenly closed, it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite expensive. However, the air in many cities will become cleaner, as the government and ordinary people pay more and more attention to protecting the environment. Where was the pollution from in London over sixty years ago?
| A．The pollution came from factories. |
| B．The pollution was from coal that people burnt in their houses. |
| C．The pollution was from too much traffic on the roads. |
| D．The pollution was from factories and coal that people burnt in their houses. |
How was the air in London after the government didn’t allow people to born coal in any British city?
| A．It was still foggy. | B．It was smog. |
| C．It was much cleaner. | D．It was stormy. |
What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
| A．In most of Chinese cities there is smog. |
| B．The reasons of smog in China. |
| C．The reasons of why it’s difficult for China to solve “smog”. |
| D．What did Chinese government do to solve “smog”. |
Which of the following is not true EXCEPT ____.
| A．people in London were allowed to born coal sixty years ago. |
| B．the air pollution in many Chinese cities is not serious. |
| C．smog in fact is a mixture of smoke and fog. |
| D．changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite easy and cheap. |

More than 30,000 empty bottles have been collected since December,” she said.
If something else, such as waste paper, is thrown into the machine, the machine will spit(吐) it out.“Supported by the government, the reverse vending machines will be introduced to colleges and universities soon,” Feng said.
The company is also considering covering more recycling materials, including used books and teaching materials.
“Long-term plans call for about 2,000 reverse vending machines to be place throughout the city in the next few years, including 80 at colleges and universities, shopping malls, communities and office buildings,” Feng said.
