三、阅读理解  

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend(趋势) in Urumqi.

　 “From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we

teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.

　 “I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

　 “That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”

However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus On the City has made a survey. Here are the results:

◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There’s no more room to give away clothes.

　　◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money.

　　◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.

　　◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).

　　“What’s worse,”one of the staff in a community added,“We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”

　　In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.

五、七选五

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly greeting that people in the United States use.  

1   It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" expects to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the other person isn’t fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine." isn't really an answer.  2 

Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example when someone asks "Do you

agree?", the other person may be thinking, "No, I don’t I think you are wrong," It isn't polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, "I am not so sure." 3

People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says "I’ve got to go now." or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as "Someone is at the door." or "Something is burning on the stove."  4  The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.

Whether they are greeting each other talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people

often don't say exactly what they are thinking.  5
