　　The story all began with a simple announcement from the church wall one Sunday morning. LaSalle Street Church’s pastor, Laura Truax，told his 320 regular members that the church had recently received a large $ 1. 6 million profit in a real estate deal (房 地产交易） and that she would set aside that amount by 10 percent to divide among her parishioners (教区居民).Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for someone, and someone could be the parishioners themselves. The money came with no conditions attached; parishioners did not have to provide proof of money spent. It just came with the hope that the money would be used for good.

　　LaSalle’s congregation (集会）is racially and financially diverse; More than 60 percent of members have advanced degrees while about a third live a paycheck-to-paycheck life. Truax had no idea how her experiment would work. She only hoped that it would make her parishioners a part of the giving process and engage them in the church and in their community. So far, her idea seems to be paying off.

　　Checks from LaSalle Street Church have been used to fund everything from swall international projects---including a school in the Himalayas, a health clinic in and an irrigation project in Tanzania---to help local families and friends in trouble. One congregant is helping to fund a skateboarding park in Amman, Jordaa, where he lived for many years. Another is using her money to start a scholarship foundation for local kids. Another has used her money to buy winter clothing for the kids at her daughter's school.

　　"1 hoped that they would recognize the power they had to bless others and change somebody's life, "Truax told Yahoo News. “I hoped that they would see their connection between their little piece and the bigger thing the church was called to

　　【阅读理解】科普知识类

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.

　　Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察）to others—and was seen as appealing.

　　A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)—which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.

　　1. What do we know from the research?

　　A. If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.

　　B. The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.

　　C. Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.

　　D. People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.

　　2. Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids？

　　A. They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.

　　B. They can prevent heart disease and cancer.

　　C. They can prevent age-related diseases.

　　D. They can keep you in good health.

　　3. Which of the statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. We've already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.

　　B. We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.

　　C. The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.

　　D. Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic

　　4. We can infer from the passage that _____.

　　A. skin's redness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractive

　　B. carotenoids have the same effect as lycopene

　　C. it is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colour

　　D. both beta-carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface

　　5. Which can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Eating fruit and vegetables does good.

　　B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids.

　　C. How to become attractive？　

　　D. Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good.

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.

　　It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.

　　When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.

　　Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.
