27、 In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.
She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint had fallen off. It was a room where sad patients are receiving their routine—patients limited themselves to chemo drips (点滴) for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at except those sad walls. Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she had pity on the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s doctor, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten the place up.
She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms.’” she said. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.
As it happens, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel the relief of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.
Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reaction that she created a non-profit organization, Rooms That Rock Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for an opening ceremony, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I’m gonna beat it.’”
【1】What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?
A.Her pity for cancer patients.
B.Her passion for room decoration.
C.The good relationship with Hufford.
D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.
【2】What result does Ballard’s efforts bring about?
A.More hospitals will be built.
B.Hufford cured more patients.
C.The cancer patients were feeling better.
D.Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good reputation.
【3】Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?
A.Rich and generous. B.Talented and energetic.
C.Loving and devoted. D.Ambitious and creative.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Battle Against Cancer B.Design for Hope
C.Donation for Patients D.Decoration in Hospital
28、 In May, 2010, Christine Jones saw an ad for a customer service job at a call center in Mobile, Alabama. A company, which handles calls for insurance companies (保险公司), needed people with professional phone skills. Jones filled out an online application and was asked for an interview.
A few days later, she arrived at the company in a blue business suit and waited with other applicants for the interview. Jones was among several candidates offered a position that very day by the company's human resource manager Wilson. All that remained was for Jones to fill out some paperwork and take a drug test, which was scheduled for a future date. When Jones realized she was not available that day, she privately told Wilson about the conflict, and Wilson replied that she could reschedule her test for another day.
But right before Jones turned to leave the office, Wilson raised a strange question: Did Jones have dreadlocks (骇人的长辫)? Jones, who is a black, was wearing a dread—very short ones. Wilson, who is white, explained the company couldn’t employ Jones 'with the dreadlocks', since they 'tend to get messy, although I'm not saying yours are, but you know what I'm talking about'. Although Jones would never communicate with callers face to face, the company had 'a policy', which stated that 'hairstyles should show a business image', and that 'excessive (过分的) styles and unusual colors' weren't allowed. Wilson asked Jones to choose whether to get rid of the dread or leave the job. Jones walked out, jobless.
In September, 2013, the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) accused the company on behalf of Jones in the District Court. It argued that the company's policy broke the state's law by discriminating (歧视) against a black job applicant because of her hairstyle, which is 'a manner of wearing a hair that is physiologically (生理上地) and culturally associated with people of African origin.'
But the company claimed that the issue wasn't Jones' race. It was simply about a hairstyle, which Jones, or any applicant, black or white, with dreads, could have changed if she wanted to land the job.
【1】What can we know according to the first two paragraphs?
A.The job Jones applied for mainly dealt with insurance.
B.Jones didn't prepare well for the job interview.
C.Wilson was in charge of the insurance company.
D.Jones rescheduled her test because she wasn’t free on that day.
【2】What does the underlined word 'messy' in Para.3 mean?
A.dirty B.straight C.loose. D.attractive.
【3】The passage shows that ______.
A.Wilson was accused of discriminating against a black applicant.
B.Jones' hairstyle suggested her African origin in physiology and culture.
C.Jones had no choice but to leave the company.
D.Jones went jobless because of her excessive hair color.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.A case of discrimination. B.Dreadlocks, a dread?
C.A black with dreadlocks. D.An argument on dreadlocks.

A few years ago, my mom went to the doctor to ask him about her neck, which had been a little bigger than usual． It turned out there was something t wrong with her lymph glands (淋巴结), and soon they scheduled Mom to have a biopsy (组织切片检查) on the seventh of September．

I’ve got a disease. Could you forgive me?” Finally, I just yelled, “ I hate you!” and ran into my room, crying． I sat on my bed thinking —Why do things always have to happen to me? Everyone gets diseases． Why couldn’t mom just go to hospital another day?
For the next couple of weeks 1 remained silently angry．Deep down I knew 1 shouldn't act that way, but I did anyway． Anyone could see how sad I was making my mom． I knew it wasn't her fault, but I had to have someone to blame．
