A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.
Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee(难民). When he was three years old，his village was burnt in the war. He was separated(分开) from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20，000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia's Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.
When he was 16，Kher went to the United States. While he was in college he started a program to help the refugees. Now，he owns a coffee company( 公司)called 734，which is a part of his program. The company has helped more than 200，000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said，“I know the difficulties and pains they face every day. You see kids die of hunger. You see kids die of illnesses. You see kids run away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home，but die on the way. ”
Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And，as Kher explains，the money helps refugees to help themselves. For example，a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net( 网)for a refugee. They can fish for themselves.
Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington D. C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it. The coffee tastes delicious，so it's a win win on both sides.

B. his village was burnt in the war
C. he had to move to the US
D. he lost his home in an earthquake

A. making fishing nets

C. starting a program

(　　)3. We can infer from this passage that________.
A. Kher only sells his coffee online
B. you're helping the refugees when enjoying 734 coffee
C. the coffee from Megan Murphy's store tastes bad
D. Megan Murphy is one of the refugees in Gambella
(　　)4. The writer wrote the passage to________.

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
( )1. What activity is less popular these days than before
A. Reading a book. B. Listening to the radio.
C. Watching TV. D. Surfing the Internet.
( )2. We can learn from the second paragraph that ________．
A. reading can improve your memory
B. reading can make you interesting and attractive
C. reading can make you smarter
D. reading can reduce stress
( )3. The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to ________．
A. the books they are reading
B. the directions on a medicine bottle
C. the good reading skills
D. the words a doctor tells a sick person
( )4. Some people disagree to read books because they think ________．
A. walking in the city also needs reading skills
B. driving along the road is dangerous
C. reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D. reading books just wastes their time
( )5. The best title of the passage can be ________．
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves
B. How We Improve Reading Skills
