There's a great article in TheNewYorkTimes this week about the tradition of buying a coffee for a stranger at the same time that you buy your own. They call it caffè_sospeso,_the name for the “suspended (暂留的) coffee” in its birthplace. In some cafes, folks in need may claim a suspended coffee and drink it without cost.

No doubt the free coffee will be welcomed by people who love coffee but for one reason or another don't have the money to buy one. But I also like the opportunity it offers customers to become philanthropists (慈善家). Every time they order a coffee, they can give one to somebody in need.

This is a tradition that began some 100 years ago in Naples, Italy. In Naples, as reported by TheNewYorkTimes, people love this kind of giving：

“To me, the philosophy of the suspended coffee is that you are happy today, and you give a coffee to the world, as a present.” — Luigi Solito

“It's a simple act of generosity: an act in which donors and recipients (接受者) never meet each other. The donor doesn't show off and the recipient doesn't have to show gratitude.” — Laura Cozzolino

“Coffee consumption started earlier than the unification (统一) of Italy by more than 200 years, so the traditions around it are very ancient. In Naples, coffee is a world in itself, both culturally and socially.” — Andrea Illy

The practice of buying suspended coffees has grown in popularity — with websites popping up and hundreds of cafes from Canada to Brazil to Hungary to the US offering the service.

1．Who are suspended coffees intended for? A．Cafe goers.

B．People who can't afford a coffee. C．Philanthropists.

D．Coffee lovers who live in Naples.

2．How can someone get a suspended coffee? A．He can ask for one in any cafe. B．He can apply for one on websites.

C．He can buy one in a cafe offering the service.

D．He can drink one in a cafe that has prepaid coffees.

3．The underlined words in Paragraph 1 are words of ________． A．French B．Old English

C．Italian D．American English

Stephen Hawking knew what he wanted to do by the time he was eight years old. His parents lived in London where his father was undertaking research into medicine. He did not want to follow his father as his parents hoped. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did physics instead. Stephen was interested in studying the universe.

But when he was 21, he was told that he had ALS — an incurable nerve disease, which affects walking, speaking, breathing, swallowing, etc. The doctors predicted that he had only a few years to live. “The doctors' grim (残忍的) prognosis (预测) made me determined to get the most from a life I had previously taken for granted and life was no longer boring for me，” Hawking says today, speaking from his wheelchair through a computerized voice synthesizer.

He didn't die. Instead, as his physical condition worsened, Hawking's reputation in scientific circles grew. Hawking himself acknowledges his disease as being a crucial factor in focusing his attention on what turned out to be his real strength: theoretical research.

In 1988, Stephen Hawking published a book called ABriefHistoryofTime: FromtheBigBangtoBlackHoles. The book tries to explain many of Hawking's physical and mathematical ideas and calculations without using maths. The book became a best seller and his later books, BlackHolesandBabyUniversesandOtherEssays and most recently in 2001, TheUniverseinaNutshell. Of the three, the first one was made into a film in 1991.

Hawking says, “You have to be positive if you're to get much sympathy or help. Nowadays, muscle power is obsolete. What we need is mind power — and disabled people are as good at that as anyone else.”

4．What career did Hawking's parents wish him to take up?

A．Studying physics. B．Studying the universe. C．Studying medicine. D．Studying mathematics.

5．Which book of Stephen Hawking's was made into a movie? A．TheUniverseinaNutshell.

B．BlackHolesandBabyUniversesandOtherEssays. C．TheGrandDesign. D．ABriefHistoryofTime.

6．From the second paragraph, we can learn before his condition was diagnosed, Hawking ________． A．held an active attitude towards life B．was very bored with life

C．had always been valuing time

D．was interested in everything around

7．According to Hawking, his disease ________． A．stopped him making greater achievements

B．stopped him outweighing other famous scientists C．caused him to focus all his attention on the research D．caused him to lose the hope of life

It was September 5, 2009. Lexi Youngberg, then 16, was on vacation in Spring Lake, Michigan. She was

riding on a small boat with her friends, Robby and Kaitlin, when a motorboat crashed into them. The sound was so loud that other boaters heard it over the roar (轰鸣声) of their engines. The teen boy who had been driving the motorboat stepped on the gas by mistake. Kaitlin, 23, had only small cuts, but Robby, 15, had been badly cut by the propeller (螺旋桨). And Lexi was floating facedown in the water. When one boater swam to Lexi, she was breathing. However, she was unconscious. She had a deep cut on her head. And the lower part of her left leg, just below the knee, was gone. A doctor rode up in another boat and tried to save Robby, but it was too late.

For Lexi, the good news is that she survived while the bad news is that she lost one of her legs forever. When Lexi looked at her swollen leg, she felt hopeless. But as time passed, Lexi began to feel stronger. She was grateful that her life had been spared, and she decided to make the most of it. At the end of November 2009, Lexi met with Dr. John Hardy, who was an expert at making artificial legs. She hoped he would help her get back to doing the things she loved.

Three years after the accident, Lexi moved on with her life. In spring 2011, she joined a soccer team in her school. That fall, she started college. Lexi is thankful that she can still do the things she loves. One day, she wants to be a physical therapist (理疗师) and work with those with disabilities. But first she plans to compete in the Paralympics. Whatever Lexi decides to do, one thing is certain: Nothing is going to get in her way.

Archery (箭术) is one of the oldest sports that are still being practiced today. The bow and arrow dates as far back as the Old Stone Age, and is the most widely used weapon (武器) in human history.

While there is recorded evidence of archery competitions taking place in China more than 3，000 years ago,

the modern sport of archery most likely originated in England during the 14th century. Then the sport began to develop fast and there were a few different styles of shooting, some of which developed into what we see today in the sport of archery.

There was clout shooting, in which arrows were held high into the air with the purpose of hitting a target which was laid flat, not vertical. The aim was to land the arrow as close to the target as possible. This variety of shooting is still practiced today, often with traditional bows.

“Roving marks”， another style, saw players shooting at a target, only to shoot at a new target from the location of the previous target. It is said that this is the oldest form of competitive archery, and was practiced by Henry Ⅷ. Finally, there was butt (靶垛) shooting, in which butts held targets, which the players would shoot at. This is the ancestor of modern-day Olympic target shooting.

Archery was a part of the second Olympic Games, which was held in 1900. It was dropped after 1920, however, because rules varied too much between nations. Archery was brought back into the Olympics in 1972. This was after enough nations had formed archery governing bodies affiliated (隶属) with the Fédération Internationale de Tir l'Arc, which was founded in Paris in 1931, to standardize rules for international competitions.

From its early history to modern times, archery has always been a competitive sport. Surely, many years from now archery will continue to be a popular sport reaching across age gaps and national borders, uniting archery lovers from all over the world.

12．According to the text, archery ________． A．was already very common in the Old Stone Age B．could be seen around Europe in the 14th century

C．was recorded as a sport in China over 3，000 years ago D．disappeared from the Olympics after 1920 because of war

13．The underlined word “originated” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”． A．started B．settled C．changed D．continued

14．What can we learn about clout shooting? A．It can not be seen nowadays any more. B．It is the oldest form of competitive archery. C．Arrows have to land on the centre of a target. D．Players should shoot at a target that lies down. 15．What would be the best title for the text? A．A brief history of competitive archery B．Archery at the Olympic Games C．Different styles of archery D．How to do archery
