3) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose

the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.

The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills

cost a lot of money. In Afr ica, AIDS drugs may cost more than a

person makes in one year. At the same time, so me American

hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes,

didn't t hink this was fair, so he decided to do something about

it.

Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every

month, he sends AIDS drug s, which would've been thrown away,

to Africa. His act of kindness has not been notic ed much in his

home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people

in Afr ica send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they

need.

Lee was a nurse. He knows that drugs worth of millions of

dollars are thrown away. Fi ve years ago he learned he was sick

with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vac ation to Africa

and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to

begin s ending drugs to Africa.

Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone.

With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a

hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders

and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to

Africa, o nce a year, to see the people he's helping.

Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license . However, it is not likely he'll be taken to

court for his kindly efforts. People who hav e discovered his

actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25

million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent

him from helping.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

I don't have a strong village feeling. There is a little pub and

that is where most people go, although I tend to avoid it. The

village always wants to know what you are doing and if you don't

have too much contact with it in the pub, then they don't learn

too mu ch. I just keep them guessing. The new people want a

great community center. People who have just arrived in a village

always want to do something in it or to it. What exa ctly they are

going to have in this center I don't know. They keep talking about

"ameni ties" (公共设施). I suppose they mean a car-park and a big

smart room. The young village people d on't want this. When

their work is over they want to go off in their cars to the bright li

ghts of Ipswich. The new people are often just kidding

themselves that they are real vi llage people. They don't just want

to be accepted; they really want to take over the tra ditions. This

is why they have come to live in a village. They want to do things

"for th e village" and it is all very exhausting if you happen to be

an "old villager" and you ju st want to be left alone. What I cannot

understand is why a person who has got the wit (才智) to make

enough money to come and live comfortably in the country, and

have a c entrally-heated house and a car, should want to put on

entertainment in a hut (小屋). These people are just playing at

village life—kidding themselves that they are genuine country

folk. They wear us out. When their work is done they want to play

in the village and when our work is done we want to pl ay outside
