When Lydia Nash appeared on the TV programme Who wants to be a millionaire(百萬富翁)? and was lucky enough to win £16,000, she decided to give all the money away. This is not surprising if she has been rich or famous, but Lydia is a 19-year-old student.
Lydia gave all the money to a charity which helps the children whose parents are dead. She had worked there as a volunteer for the past three years. She first visited orphanage(孤兒院)at the age of seventeen, and she felt very sad by what she saw.
Some of her friends at university thought that maybe she had made the wrong decision. Some people said she should have saved it to buy a house or to pay for her education. She said, “That really worried me. Students seem to live in an unreal world, where they always complain (抱怨)about being poor. But there’s a very big difference between our situation and people who have no money.”
With the help of the money Lydia gave them, the charity has just finished building “Rainbow House”, a new building that will house 50 children whose parents are dead.
If Lydia had won a million pounds and not only£16,000, would she still have given away all the money? She said,” Before going on the show I thought a lot about what it would be like to have a lot of money and I realized that I wouldn’t like it at all. And then, of course, as I had been to the orphanage and had seen all the work that needed to be done, I knew how useful that money could be. It was far more important for the charity than it could ever be for me. I think I got more enjoyment out of giving the money away than if I had kept it for myself.”
1.Is Lydia a student?
2.When did she first visit the orphanage?
3.What do her friends at university think she should do with the money?
4.Who is Rainbow House built for?
5.What kind of person is Lydia according to the passage? ( At least 2 points)

On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 1. around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to f 2. at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel(燃料) quickly.
After about 20 h 3. , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 4. about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 5. for the plane. Earhart called the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to keep in touch with her b 6. got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.
What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 7. the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was d 8. to see. So she got lost, soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived the plane crash, s 9. to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).
Till now, none of these i10. has been proved(證明). People still want to know about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”
