26-year-old Luke Cameron

decided to do at least one good deed

(善事) a day, for 365 days after a good family friend died in October,

2013—and he made it!

He said: “Maura was like a mother to me. She was the most

amazing and inspirational (鼓舞人心的) woman I've ever met. When

a neighbour needed food, she gave her last potato. When a friend

needed money, she gave her last pound. She gave her whole life helping others around her and at her funeral（葬礼）over 4,000 people queued for 3 hours to get in and show their respects. ”

Luke performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people and followed it up by giving coins to a woman who did not have enough to feed a parking meter. Though most of his kind acts have been welcomed, Luke says there have been a few embarrassing situations. For example, when he bought a sausage roll for a homeless man, but the man happened to be a vegetarian who didn't eat meat or fish.

To try to encourage others to perform good deeds, Luke has created a deck of cards(一副牌). They're called "Cards for Kindness" and each card suggests a simple act of kindness -- things like giving a stranger a hug or making peace with an enemy. All the money he collects from giving out the cards is donated to a charity--the British Heart Foundation.

Luke's generosity didn't go unnoticed-- to reward (奖赏) the young man as he was near the end of his journey, Domino's Pizza awarded him a year's supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted youngster used the gift to hold special pizza days for charity.

And that is not all -- since starting his challenge, Luke also entered a competition run by Utility Aid to win the job of National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager. That's also known as The Nicest Job in Britain. His Good Deed challenge made the organizers think that he was the right man for the job. So, for the whole of 2015, Luke will be paid to travel the UK and assist 45 different charities.

Luke has also decided to continue his challenge for another year and says the experiment has completely changed his life. He said: “I think I have healed myself by helping others. I've gone from working part time in a shop to now the National Philanthropy Manager where I am making my life's work abo ut helping others and I've raised thousands for charity.”

69. Luke started to perform his good deed ________ .

C) He gave coins to a woman who did not have enough to feed a parking meter.

D) He did all of the above.

72. Luke created "Cards for Kindness" mainly because he wanted to ________.

A) get more money for himself

B) encourage others to perform good deeds

C) help Domino's Pizza

D) raise money for a charity

73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? ________

A) Luke thinks that his Good Deed challenge has completely changed his life.

B) The organizers of Utility Aid thought that Luke was the right man for the job of National

Philanthropy Manager.

C) Sometimes Luke meets some embarrassing situations like giving a sausage roll to a

vegetarian.

D) After Luke had done a year of good deeds, Domino's Pizza awarded him a year's supply

of free pizza.

74. From the Last Paragraph, we may get to know that ________.

B) Luke has decided to give up his challenge because it hardly changed his life

C) Luke is making his life's work about helping others and he has set up thousands of

charities

the novel and what the author is saying about them.

What's more, novels are made up of language. 80 use language in a special way to make their novels work. They may use metaphors (比喻), invent symbols, or show different characters' personalities through their speech styles.

How many people travel every year? Perhaps the moment

you are reading this story, more than 100 airplanes will have taken

off all over the world. Today, with more c 81 transport

and smarter planning tools, travelling is becoming simpler than

ever. It won’t be too long before ma ny new changes of travel will be available. Here are some trends we can expect in the next ten years!

Travel planning in your hand

With the help of technology, making plans for your trip is in your hand! Your phones are becoming even smarter. You can a 82 simple things like flight times and numbers to your phone calendar and set a reminder (提醒). If you want to find local food or a museum, just turn on an app. Isn’t that advanced (先进的)? For example, Google Cardboard is a cheap virtual reality device (虚拟现实装置) that is used with your smartphone. It makes you feel like you’re r 83 there. If you want to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the device will lead you to the tower and show you the way to get in.

Airports make a difference

The picture of a chaotic(混乱的) airport is d 84 . Maybe we won’t see it any longer. Future airport designs aim to focus on a local feel. Travelers will be greeted by local artworks as they wait for their luggage. They will also provide local street food in waiting areas.

Now we have some good e 85 . Travelers can enjoy a mini-jungle inside Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The library in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol also gives travelers a unique experience. How should other airports show their local features in the future?

The rise of experience hotels

In the future, travelers may not always stay in normal rooms. They have started to find some i 86 places to make their travel experiences more colorful. Can you imagine swinging into a treehouse by a zipline (滑索)? You can find o 87 in Laos(老挝). How about sleeping in a Trojan Horse? Just go to Belgium. Travelers will look for more fun experiences from their accommodation (住宿) in coming years.

more than 30 patients to understand how ALS affected Hawking.

He lost 15 pounds (6.8 kg) for the role and grew long fingernails

after learning this was Hawking’s habit.

Upon winning the Best Actor award, Redmayne also won the audiences’ hearts. His emotions were on full display as he walked up to the stage, before announcing, “I'm fully sure that I am a lucky, lucky man. This Oscar belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS.”

The humble (谦虚的) actor had a message for Stephen Hawking: “Thank you for reminding me of the power of love and the will to live every second of your life as fully as possible.”
