第一节
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Americans spend their free time in various ways.
America is a country of sports — of hunting, fishing and swimming, and of team sports like baseball and football.Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television.They also like to play in community orchestras (管弦乐队), make their own films or recordings, go camping, visit museums,attend lectures, travel, garden, read, and join in hundreds of other activities.The people also enjoy building things for their homes, sewing their own clothes, even making their own photographs.They do these things for fun as well as for economy.
But as much as Americans enjoy their free time, the country is at the same time a “self-improvement” country.More than 25 million adults continue their education, chiefly by going to school in the evening, during their own free time, at their own expense.Added to the time spent on personal activities, Americans a1so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities.Many hospitals, schools, libraries, museums, parks, community centers, and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities, often without any pay.Why do they do it?
There are several answers.The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself.
When the country was first founded in 1776, it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live.They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom.There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government.People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities, rather than give the government more control.
Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid, to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community.It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work; or they are learning from the experience.
No matter what the reason is, hundreds of thousands of so-called leisure hours are put into hard, unpaid work on one or another community need.

What is your most memorable(难忘的) Thanksgiving? For me, it was on the eve of the day.
The church had the names of ten families with more children and less pay planned to receive food baskets. As we packed the boxes in the fellowship hall, these families were excited over the food they were taking home. It would be the best meal many hadn’t enjoyed for months. As they were picking up their boxes happily, another family arrived. Father, mother and three children got off an old pickup truck and came inside the hall. This was a new family, not on our list. They had just heard there was food being given by a church.
I explained that we did not have enough for an extra family. And as I tried to make them sure that I would do what I could, an amazing thing happened. Without a word, a woman put down the box she was carrying and quickly found an empty box to place beside it. She began moving items from her box to share. Soon others followed her lead, and these poor people made an eleventh box for the new family.
