A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play the character of Ronald McDonald for the McDonald's Corporation.
One day each month，we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(細菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a halfopened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”
I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dad's arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say goodbye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”
At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lose your job！”
“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy's mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy's life.
Billy's mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don't care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”
For the record, McDonald's Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.

| A．weak | B．serious | C．interesting | D．exciting |
| A．was unwilling to do so | B．was glad to do so |
| C．hesitated to do so | D．hurried to do so |

B
A powerful earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale shook Haiti on Tuesday, causing several buildings to collapse in the Western hemisphere's poorest nation and leading to an unknown number of fatalities（死亡）, officials and witnesses said.
The earthquake was centered just 10 miles southwest of the crowded and impoverished（貧困的）capital of Port-au-Prince（太子港）.Making matters worse, the earthquake was relatively shallow, at a depth of five miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said Shallow earthquakes can cause more damage.
“I think it's really a huge catastrophe,” Haiti's ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Alcide Joseph, told Cable News Network.
An Associated Press（美聯社）videographer saw the ruins of a hospital in Petionville, near Port-au-Prince. Reuters（路透社）news agency said several buildings had crumbled in the capital and that there were dead and injured trapped in the rubble.
At least 1.8 million people live within the area where the earthquake had its highest intensity, John Bellini, a geophysicist at the USGS, told The Wall Street Journal. “With a strong and shallow earthquake like this in such a populated area, it could really cause substantial damage.” he said.
“The quake was the most powerful to hit Haiti since at least 1770. This isn't normally an earthquake-prone（地震頻發）area.” Mr. Bellini added.
Within minutes of the original quake, two aftershocks rolled through the area, measuring 5.9 and 5.5 on the Richter scale.
60. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. tell people some disasters are very dangerous.
B. introduce some common sense of natural disasters.
C. appeal to readers for help, love and support.
D. present some information of Haiti’s earthquake this year.
61.What can we learn from John Bellini’s words?
A. The earthquake which took place in Port-au-Prince was strong and shallow.
B. Thanks to the shallow earthquake, it did little damage to Port-au-Prince.
C. Earthquakes occur frequently in the area of Port-au-Prince,capital of Haiti.
D. At least 1770 people lost their lives in the earthquake.
62. The underlined word catastrophe is closest in meaning to __________.
A. problem B. disaster C. phenomenon D. news
63. How many earthquakes of Haiti are mentioned in this article?
A. None. B. One C. Two. D. At least three.
