五、阅读理解
In 1997 , 12 year old American girl Caitlin and 14 year old Zimbabwean(津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools. They didn't know at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.
It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin's class was asked to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids chose countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic(异国风情的) and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe's worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin's first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favourite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin slowly revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash(废纸), Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin's family and helped him go to school.
It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin's arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin's parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
Today, Caitlin and Martin aren't only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage(鼓励)readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly change their lives.

c. Caitlin chose a penfriend from Zimbabwe.
d. Martin got his MBA from Duke University.

( )3. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. The Two Pen friends B. The Power of Writing
C. The Special School Task D. The Money in Letters
( )4. Where can we read such a passage
A. In a magazine. B. In an instruction. C. In a science book. D. In a report.

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she went to a different school or a different class. 1_____ You want to have new friends, but how do you make them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. 2______
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances(机会) to say hello to them, smile, and be friendly. 3______ Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you're at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. 4_____ Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you'll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
5_______ But when you see each other, you can share something you didn't have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!
