【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第一段中During the holiday, there are parades (游行) and lots of green. You can see people in green clothes, and you can even see green buildings可知，在Saint Patrick’s Day，我們可以看到游行、穿著綠色衣服的人們和綠色的建筑物。短文里沒有出現(xiàn)的是A選項，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中People jump over the fire.可知，在Red Wednesday in Iran，人們從火上跳過去。故應(yīng)選C。

【題目】 Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass them by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money.

To solve the problem , another giving plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless people.

Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems（酗酒和吸毒）. But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality（犯罪） to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive（積極的） plans can help create local understanding and sympathy（同情心） instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.

Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.

The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.

【題目】Roy is in the third grade, but he cannot read or write. He makes loud sounds from his chair and waves his hands around his head all the time. He cannot listen for more than two minutes at a time. Sometimes, he hits the other children. Sometimes, he also hits his teacher.

Roy has autism (孤獨癥). His brain cannot organize and manage information clearly. He does not understand the world or the people around him.

The headmaster says that the other children lose too much learning time when Roy is in their classroom. She thinks Roy can get a better education at a special program nearby. There, teachers know how to take care of students with autism.

But Roy’s parents do not want him to go there. In fact, a law was made in 1988. It says that students with disabilities can be in normal classes. This gives them the same chances for success as everyone else.

His family used to live in Chicago. Roy went to normal classes there. Some special teachers helped Roy study. “He was part of the school,” his mother told reporters. “He also learned to hold hands with some of the children in his class.”
