We’ll share what we have with them.”I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I advised the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much ­loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson.

The series, about China’s anti-corruption (反贪) campaign, has attracted millions of viewers across the country. Some have compared it to the American political drama, House of Cards, which has a huge Chinese following.In the Name of the People describes the internal power struggle of the Chinese Communist Party in the fictional city of Jingzhou, featuring stories about Chinese politics that are often talked about but never seen on mainstream television.Viewers have been lapping it up. “This TV drama feels so real. It really cheers people up,”one viewer wrote on social media network Weibo. “I shed tears after watching this drama. This is the tumor of corruption that has been harming the people,” said another Weibo commenter. What makes In the Name of the People remarkable is not just how frankly it describes the ugly side of Chinese politics, but that it also has the blessing of the country’s powerful top prosecutors’ office (最高检察机关).More than a decade ago, anti-corruption dramas suddenly disappeared from Chinese television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping took power in 2012 and launched a sweeping campaign against graft (受贿), anti-corruption got back in vogue. In the Name of the People is thus the latest piece, publicizing the government’s victory in its anti-corruption campaign. At least it does a decent job in entertaining viewers. The author said he aimed to show that corruptofficials were not all “monsters” and were real people, but at the end of the day, the good people always win. “We all badly need heroes, upright law-enforcing heroes like Hou Liangping,”he said.26．In paragraph 1, the description of the opening scene is used to _____.A. make a comparisonB. show the style of this dramaC. draw reader’s attentionD. make a conclusion27．In the Name of the People and House of Cards have something in common because _____.A. they both have a large group of followersB. they are both played on mainstream televisionC. they both touch political and economic areasD. they are both supported by the government28．The purpose of this text is to _____.A. show different opinions on In the Name of the PeopleB. analyze government’s policy of anti-corruptionC. compare In the Name of the People with House of CardsD. introduce the latest TV series In the Name of the People29．What would be the best title for the text?A. China Won Victory in Anti-corruption CampaignB. China embraces TV Corruption DramaC. How Do TV Series Attract Viewers?D. Why Are Corruption Dramas Popular?Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective# dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle.“The detective has a martial (军事的) arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily,” a Plano police spokesperson said.The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. “I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something stupid,” Harvey said. “But when he asked fo r help, I thought, well, there won’t be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action —while he was still recording the video—as did Sample.“Harvey caught hold of the suspect’s arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐)on,” said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50.“I’ve been on the w rong side of the law several times in my life,” Harvey told WFAA. “It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive.”After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house —Hoffman’s treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. “It could have turned real ugly,” Sample told KFOR. com. “He handled himself like a real professional.”30．What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?A. He was not on duty.B. He couldn’t control the suspect.C. He needed witnesses to support him.D. He wanted to push the thief into the car. 31．Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?A. To follow the fashionB. To record the cop’s violence.C. To keep track of the criminal.D.
