Megan’s Library of Love Book Drive began in 2006, in memory of a student who passed away. The idea to send books to a school in 1 was created by Megan’s classmates at Cedar Groove-Belgium Middle School as a tribute to her.
The project formed out of the desire to honor memories of Megan, to help our community heal, and to make a 2 in the life of others. Students have many 3 of Megan, but the most vivid was her love for her family and the diligent help she gave to her classmates. They combined this with her 4 for learning and reading to create the Library of Love.
This project honors Megan’s special qualities. In the 5 of one of her classmates, “Megan was a good daughter, a good student and a good friend. We are all blessed to have been a 6 of Megan’s life.
Every February, on Megan’s birthday, fifth grades at Cedar Groove-Belgium Middle School 7 donations of newly purchased books and send them to a school in need. The “love books” are truly a 8 of love meant to 9 reading and learning. Students earn the money for postage by writing letters to local 10 . The fifth grades also have the 11 of labeling every book with a Library of Love sticker, sorting books in categories, and 12 all the books for shipping.
In the two years since the Library of Love 13 began, students have collected over 5,000 newly-purchased books to send to schools in need. In 2006, 3,149 books were sent to St. Bernard’s Parish to help to 14 their school library after Hurricane Katrina devastated the community. In 2007, 1,613 books were sent to Whited Mountain School in Alaska, which was 15 by a fire. Students look forward to sending the gift of reading to other schools in the future.

there waiting to be seen. After the treatment, I drove her to my apartment. I had to leave her in my apartment while I dashed off to take a final exam for a very important course I was taking. Upon my return, we decided Liz was in a good enough condition to sustain a trip back from my Northern Virginia apartment to her home in Maryland.
Although it was nearly midnight and we were both exhausted, we still decided to set off. Unfortunately, in a not particularly safe part of town, we heard my car make a strange noise, and then it was shaking violently as we drove along. Quickly, I stopped the car in the road and found a tire had blown out. Not knowing how to change a tire and feeling scared, I was trying out to figure out what to do next. Liz, weak from losing all that blood all day and weighing only about eighty pounds to begin with, came out and tried to help me. I had to scream at her to get back in the car and relax.
Within seconds, a taxi pulled up behind us. A huge man appeared and began walking toward us. I felt that the blood drained out of my face and I nearly fainted in fear.
“Got a flat tire, girls?” he asked. “Yes,” I answered in a trembling voice.
In no time at all, the man changed the tire for us and rushed off back to his taxi. He refused any payment and did not even tell me his name.

The deadliest Ebola(埃波拉病毒) outbreak in recorded history is happening right now. The outbreak is unprecedented(空前的) both in the number of people who have gotten sick and in the geographic scope. And so far it’s been a long battle that doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

Ebola is both rare and very deadly. Since the first outbreak in 1976, Ebola viruses have infected thousands of people and killed roughly killed 60 percent of them. Symptoms can come on quickly and kill fast.
The current outbreak started in Guinea sometime in late 2013 or early 2014. It has since spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia, including some capital cities. And one infected patient traveled on a plane to Nigeria, where he spread the disease to several others and then died. Cases have also popped up in various other countries throughout the world, including in Dallas and New York City in the United States.
The Ebola virus has now hit many countries, including Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal, and the United States. The virus, which starts off with flu-like symptoms and sometimes ends with bleeding, has infected about 6,500 people and killed more than 3,000 since this winter, according to the World Health Organization on September 30, 2014.
There are some social and political factors contributing to the current disaster. Because this is the first major Ebola outbreak in West Africa, many of the region’s health workers didn’t have experience or training in how to protect themselves or care for patients with this disease.
Journalist David Quammen put it well in a recent New York Times article, “Ebola is more dangerous to humans than perhaps any known virus on Earth, except rabies(狂犬病) and HIV. And it does its damage much faster than either.”
Hopefully, researchers are working to find drugs, including a recent $50 million push at the National Institutes of Health. And scientists are working on vaccines(疫苗), including looking into ones that might be able to help wild chimpanzees, which are also susceptible to the disease. The first human Ebola vaccine trial is scheduled to start in the spring of 2015. 31. According to the passage, which of the following about Ebola is true? A. The Ebola outbreak now is the biggest one in history. B. Ebola breaks out quickly but it is under control now. C. Ebola is deadly and common so it kills a lot of people. D. Ebola killed about 60 thousand people quickly in 1976. 32. The Ebola virus was brought to Nigeria by . A. a flying bird B. an infected passenger C. hot African weather D. a health organization 33. The symptoms of Ebola at the beginning are more like those of . A. flu B. rabies C. HIV/AIDS D. internal bleeding 34. The last paragraph mainly tells us that . A. it will be a huge waste when researchers spend lots of money finding a cure B. the vaccines can be effective to wild chimpanzees but not to the humans C. there will be an optimistic future in which we can defeat the disease D. we can use the vaccine to cure the patients completely in 2015’s spring 35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Ebola ---- The African Local Disaster B. Ebola ---- The Newly-Found Disease C. Ebola ---- A More Effective Vaccine D. Ebola ---- The Deadly Virus Outbreak

C
Finding a friend doesn’t seem like a difficult job. However, bad friends are easier to find than good friends these days. If you’re sitting there and wondering if you have a bad friend, let me define it for you.
A bad friend is someone whose jealousies and insecurities outweigh their love for someone. They night want to be a good friend but they’re too messed up in their own head to ever actually do it. They wonder if their friends are going out without them or if they’re being forgotten and left behind. People who are violently insecure don’t have what it takes to be the quality of a friend.
Bad friends are narcissistic(自恋的). They look for any opportunity to bring the conversation back to them. Worse, they might not even be aware that they’re doing it. In their mind, they might think they are the best friend ever, which is truly frightening.
Bad friends are quick-change. They’re by your side when you’re fun and you have something to give them but as soon as you’re going through a difficult time, they will become indifferent quickly.
They won’t bring you cold medicine. They won’t give you a ride to the doctor, everything they do is self-serving.
If you find a friend who has these same characteristics, send them to your bad friend list immediately. Your friends are supposed to be the solution to your problems, not the source.
I believe your twenties are a time when you need positive and helpful friends. In such a time, friendships aren’t easy to maintain like they once were in school. Now we actually have to put work into it, we have to make a conscious effort to keep the friendship going. You need to ask yourself, “Is this person worth it? Do they treat me like a fool or what?” If your have doubts, try to make them clear by considering the past experiences. Toxic(有毒的) friendships do nothing but drag you down. My point is that you have to take care of yourself and stop getting in touch with your bad friends. Only surround yourself with people who bring out the best qualities in you. It may sound cruel but it’s true,
36. The author believes that we can easily find a . A. close friend B. poor friend C. good friend D. bad friend 37. Bad friends give the author the following impressions EXCEPT being . A. outgoing B. insecure C. narcissistic D. self-centered 38. We can infer from the passage that a bad friend will when you have trouble. A. feel worried as you do B. try hard to help you out C. do nothing but leave you D. pay more attention to you 39. In the last paragraph, you are advised . A. not to treat your friends like fools B. not to keep a terrible friendship C. not to be a bad friend of others D. not to doubt but ask yourself 40. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us finding a friend is not an easy job for everyone. B. To help us know about bad friends and get rid of them. C. To encourage us to make more friends in school. D. To advise us not to treat our close friends badly.
