A篇（限時：12分鐘）
A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising.
The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift — $ 7,000, a legacy (遺產) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million — they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on (喜歡) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’ t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy — a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community (社區) and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’ s story.

B篇（限時：10分鐘）
When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully，we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me，“ Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didn’ t even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投資) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．
But it is a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, was expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.
No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.
1．Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?
A. She was tired of Indian tea.
B. She had a son working in China.
C. She believed it had a curing effect.
D. She was fond of Chinese products.
2．What does the author mean by “it’ s a twoway street” in Paragraph 10?
A. China and India have different traffic rules.
B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.
C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.
D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.
3．What do we know about the Indian IT industry?
A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.
B. It is seeking further development in China.
C. It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion.
D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.
4．In the text the author expresses________.
A. his concern for his mother’ s health
B. his support for drinking Chinese green tea
C. his surprise at China’ s recent development
D. his wonder at the growth of India’ s IT industry
[B篇答案詳解]：文章主要講述了一個印度人對中國的印象：中國的發展令他驚訝不已。另外，中國和印度相互合作，實現了雙贏。
1. [解析] 根據第五段最後一句話可知答案。[答案] C
2.[解析] 結合上下文可知，這句話的意思是“中國和印度互惠互利，共同發展”。[答案] D
3. [解析] 由第十段可知，B項正確。[答案] B
4. [解析] 綜觀全文可知，作者對中國的發展變化驚訝不已。因此C項正確。[答案] C
