Jean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent her a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David's door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was only a ten-year-old boy named Jim!

When looking at Western Europe，we don’t usually think about poverty—but in fact，some people in modern—day Britain are so hard up that they can’t afford to buy food．

Back in 2008,the financial crisis caused a lot of unemployment．Then there were the cuts to the welfare system in 2013 which added to the problem—and many British people fell into debt．It’s estimated that 500，000 people in the UK have turned to food banks，just to get by．

Steph Hagen，who works in a Nottingham food bank，says,“People do not go to a food bank because it's an open door．It’s a case where they go to it because they need to．With our food bank—we are an independent one．and we have limited stocks—everyone who comes through our door has no income．”

There are checks to make sure nobody is abusing the system．If a doctor or a social worker thinks someone needs to use a food bank—even for a short time—they can give them vouchers(凭证)．Then the people in need take them along to the food bank and they get handouts for three days．

Churches and individual donors provide most of the food in the banks．But some businesses might help out too．

And what sort of food is offered in food banks? Hagen says,“Basically，we’ve got porridge．We do occasionally get fresh produce but it’s very rare，especially in the winter months．It’s like tinned fruit，tinned ready meals．We have to give out‘no-cooking’food parcels because people can’t afford the gas and electricity”．

Community spirit has a lot to do with food banks．Volunteers say they are a great meeting place for people who are lonely and depressed．And when facing a crisis，some beneficiaries might need to feed not only their belly—but also their soul．

24．According to the text，the food bank is a place_____．

A．which is funded by the government

B．where people can get food randomly

C．which helps poor people live through crisis

D．where there is enough food supplies

25．What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Systems． B．Doctors． C．Social workers． D．Vouchers．

26．Why do food banks mainly offer“no-cooking”food?

A．Poor people have no money for gas and electricity．

B．The volunteers hate to supply cooked food．

C．Food banks can’t afford cooked food．

D．This kind of food is easy to store．

27．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Community spirit can cure those who are depressed．

B．Food banks benefit poor people mind and body．

C．People can have great fun in food banks．

D. Volunteers tend to feel lonely and depressed in food banks．
