　　AOne day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door, found he had only one coin left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

　　You don’t owe me anything, she replied. Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. He said, “then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As he left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.

　　Years later the young woman became badly ill. When a doctor heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.

　　Dressed in his doctor’s gown(長外衣) he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

　　After a long struggle, the battle was won. He requested the office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention.

　　Forget clothes, it is coffee that travellers consider their packing essentials, according to a new study. While the French favor cheese with more than half (53 percent) putting a cheese cake into their suitcase, perhaps unsurprisingly 48 percent of British take tea bags with them during a holiday, to make a cup of tea on the way.

　　Researching on British, after tea bags, marmite(麥吉醬) was a popular item to pack with 14 percent of respondents taking the items overseas, along with 11 percent carrying chocolate, nine percent sugar and just 8 percent taking coffee.

　　A survey of travellers from 29 countries has revealed the top unexpected items each nationality takes abroad, ensuring that wherever they go they have a taste of home with them.

　　The study by Lowcostholidays surveyed 7,500 people from around the world ensuring that a minimum of 250 locals had been interviewed for each country. The study found that 56 percent of respondents from Japan packed Miso soup(味增湯) while 64 percent of Italians couldn't travel without coffee.

　　Perhaps fearing that food overseas might need seasoning（調味料）, ketchup（番茄醬） was the essential item for 38 percent of New Zealanders. Carrying a kitchen essential from home, Australians couldn't bear to be without vegemite（蔬菜醬） (41 percent packed it) while 55 % of South Koreans can be found carrying Kimchi（泡菜） and 39 percent of Chinese mainland travellers pack instant noodles.

　　Interestingly, those from the USA, Hong Kong and Belgium were more pre-occupied with packing essentials that related to first aid medicine. The study found 32 percent of Americans take toilet paper with them on their travels, and 60 percent of people from Hong Kong carry pocket paper with them.

　　Pigeons and pollution are both serious problems in cities around the world, but a group of engineers in London are hoping the birds can help them solve problems with air quality. A technology company has revealed it is dealing with air pollution---monitoring backpacks(監測背包) onto ten pigeons in London to monitor air pollution over the next three days.

　　On Monday, the Pigeons were set free from a roof in Brick Lane by Brian Woodhouse. For three days, Londoners will be able to get live updates of the pollution by giving their location to @PigeonAir. Data from three of the ten pigeons, called Coco, Julius and Norbert, will then be used to instantly reply, telling them about the level of pollution in their area. A live map is also being updated as the pigeons fly around, giving the levels of pollution in different areas of the capital.

　　“People don't care about air pollution,” said Pierre Duquesnoy, who had the original idea. “The Pigeon Air Patrol（巡邏）is a perfect example of raising awareness of a serious health and environmental issue.”

　　“Air pollution is a huge environmental health issue, killing 10,000 people every year in London alone,” said Romain Lacombe, chief office of the campaign. “Putting air sensors（監測器） on the back of pigeons helps to raise awareness of this problem and helps Londoners understand the impact of pollution in an accessible and immediate way.”

　　The pigeons used in the study are racing pigeons, which usually live four times longer than street pigeons because they're so well cared for. The pigeons even have their own doctor to check they're always in good health. The high-tech backpacks they wear to monitor pollution are tiny and light as a feather.

　　The campaign only runs for three days, after which the birds will be able to return to their normal life.

　　29. What is the attitude of Romain Lacombe to the Pigeon Air Patrol?

　　A. disappointed.

　　B. Positive.??

　　C. Negative.

　　D. unknown.

　　30. What can we learn about the campaign?

　　A.The campaign aims to protect wild birds.

　　B. The campaign is good for city safety.

　　C. The campaign can give londeners a weather forecast.

　　D. The campaign helps people raise the awareness of environment.

　　31. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. The high-tech backpacks are very heavy.

　　B. Air pollution only happened in London.

　　C. The pigeons used in the study are street pigeons.

　　D. Londoners can get immediate pollution data during the campaign.

　　32. How many pigeons can give instant data during the campaign?

　　A. 3

　　B. 7

　　C.10

　　D. 13
