英语试题 04-29
Washington is home to lots of trees, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves (炉子) too. But what if you lived there and couldn’t cut wood or couldn’t afford to pay someone to do it? Luckily, Shane McDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, 21, are happy to give a hand. The three men cut truckloads of wood (数货车木头) and then give it to those in need.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted (发帖子) on Facebook: “If you are in need of firewood and cannot afford it, please message me personally! If you know someone who burns wood, and they’re living in a cold house this holiday season, please help me and my boys make sure no one goes cold in our neighbourhood.”
The response (反响) was quick. One man offered to give a wood-burning stove. Others raced over to add wood for the McDaniels. Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four-year-old daughter depend on a wood-burning stove as their only way of heat, so it was a great help to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays. “To get that much wood brought me to tears,” she told msn.com. “So much pressure and worry is off my shoulders. I couldn’t be more thankful.”
4. Why does the McDaniels cut wood?
A. To sell it for money. B. To build up their bodies.
C. To help those in need. D. To post on Facebook.
5. What can we learn from Shane’s post on Facebook?
A. He wants to spread his help. B. Wood is expensive in Washington.
C. He advertises his wood for sale. D. Wood is necessary in a holiday season.
6. What does Ticer think of the firewood from the McDaniels?
A. It has much smoke. B. It brings her pressure.
C. It makes her worried. D. It makes her thankful.
