(Question)
For children with cancer ,the facts of life include the facts of death. There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up.Yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight.And sometimes, they win.It may take years.It certainly takes support from  parents and doctors. Unfortunately, many parents can't deal with their child's illness.And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like these, the Children's Cancer Foundation can help. We are a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists, parents of children with cancer and concerned persons  .All of us are volunteers (offer one's help  without payment).We're with the children every day, listening to, and encouraging them. We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding (providing money) has brought better equipment to the wards (large rooms of a hospital), and paid for special flats  where the children can recover. We want to do even more.But to do it, we need your help. It will be money well spent.One who looks at our past achievements should prove that. To the children, your contribution  will also be a show of support.A sign that you're behind them is just the sort of news that a six-year-old chlid with cancer needs to hear. The Children's Cancer Foundation   _  . A) has set up many hospitals. B) is made up of many  volunteers  including doctors, nurses, psychologists and so on. C) hasn't done anything for the the children with cancer. D) can't help the children with cancer in many ways.

(Question)
It is surprising that eating three meals a day--breakfast,lunch and dinner-has been a custom  only since 1890. Before this time,people only had two meals a day--breakfast and dinner. In the 16th century,breakfast was only to break one's fast . But 200 years later it had become a large meal,not just for family,but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became,instead,a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal. Dinner,however,went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a.m. Years later,it had moved to the early afternoon,then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap  between breakfast and dinner. The passage is mostly concerned with   _  . A) what people eat for breakfast B) what people eat for dinner C) the history of the three meals D) the history of supper
(Answer)
C


(Question)
Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, "Versed". "I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout. "For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising." Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed." "This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don't feel as if it's better." The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD. "Versed", published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May. What can we learn about "Versed"? A) It consists of three parts. B) It is mainly about the American army. C) It is a book published two decades ago D) It partly concerns the poet's own life.
