A

Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ”　　When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possession—a “superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage her—and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun—kids just being kids! ”　　From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”　　Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.

The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “ I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child,” explains Amy.

When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, “ If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewing,” she says.

21.What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital?

A. Her daughter’s serious illness.

B. The cries of children in pain.

C. The tiredness from sewing the cape.

D. The illness of children in her daughter’s room.

22.What purpose did Amy have when she began making Comfort Capes for sick children?

A. To make them feel warm.

B. To find friends for her daughter.

C. To make them happy and fearless.

D. To raise the awareness of children’s illness.

23.According to the passage, we can get that the author’s attitude toward Amy’s behaviour is _________.

A. indifferent B. neutral C. negative D. supportive

24. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes B. How to Treat the Sick Children

C. A strong Mom Who Helps Others D. Amy: a Considerate Woman

B

Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.

One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.

Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.

School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.

Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.

25.When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.

A. financial situation is the first to consider

B. students are unwilling to leave their home

C. students will become homesick

D. students are eager to attend their ideal university

26.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Students can be independent at college.

B. A long distance will make students upset.

C. The location of the college is a main factor.

D. The climate must be taken into consideration.

27.What does the underlined part “ people person” in the passage mean?

A. A person of great capacity. B. A very particular person.

C. A very sociable person. D. A person of great importance.

28.Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?

A. The location of a college. B. The examination result.

C. School size. D. The coming challenges.
