Part II. Reading Comprehension. (30%)
Task 1
The word “generosity(慷慨)”has been devalued somewhat recently. A millionaire may g ive his friend a hou in the beautiful suburb. A rich could fly halfway round the world to meet his friends for his birthday party. In this ca, generosity is more an action of showing off than a sincere action of giving. And such showing off lacks the most important quality of real generosity: to offer kindness and love without expecting anything in return.
Real generosity, when you meet it, is simply so pleasant. And as a quality, it belongs equally to the rich and the poor. A traveler in a faraway place felt it when he shared bread, room, even bed
with a farmer’s family, who general principle(原则) is “A guest in the hou is God in the hou”.
三国杀陈群
appointAnother story is about a university student from Oxford. He did something out of his natural n of generosi ty when he learned that his roommate couldn’t afford an impossibly expensive textbook, a book which was very rare in cond-hand shops. Knowing that his roommate was far too proud to accept such a book as prent from him, the rich student bought a new copy for 35 pounds at Black
well’s bookshop. He dirtied it up a bit and tore off the paper cover, made a few dog-ears(卷页) and pencil marks against what he thought might be important parts, and wrote an invented name in the front. He even remembered to age the ink by putting it over fire. Then he went back, looking extremely proud of himlf and claiming(声称) to have got the book in a cond-hand bookshop. “Beaten them down two pounds!” To make his friend believe him, he showed a receipt(收据) for the money by buying himlf another book at the same place. Ten years later, the poorer student got to know the truth. Actually he was suspicious(怀疑的) at the very beginning, though he didn’t force his richer friend to tell the truth. He appreciated the invaluable generosity as well as the valuable book.
领导慰问简报Real generosity lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness, not its price or wrapping of the gift. It is one of the things which make us human(通人性的) and should be honored more than we do now.

Task 3
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Many Chine students who have already learnt English more than ten years are still unable
to speak English properly and fluently when they encounter (遇见) a foreigner. They have been
able to master the basic language structure and many other things grammatically, but a conversation
in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid other people might laugh at their mistakes or they think tho to whom they are speaking might not understand them.
It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, write beautiful and fluent English. This proves perfectly that they do have the ability to organize their ideas in English. The problem is that they do not have enough practice and confidence. Maybe they are afraid of speaking English openly.
The best way out, as a result, would be a bit more confidence and practice. No one would laugh at you even though you make some mistakes for they understand English is a foreign language to you. D on’t care too much about the small mistakes you may make in your conversation becau you can correct them easily if you practice enough. But you do have to take great care to make people understand what you are trying to say. If you keep practicing English all the time, you will surely find that talking with a native speaker is not at all difficult.
