Suspended (待用的) Coffee

This story will warm you better than a coffee on a cold winter day.

One day, my friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, "Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended." They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend: "What are those 'suspended' coffees?" Instead of giving me the answer, he told me to wait and see.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees—three for themselves and four suspended. While I still wondered what the suspended coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view in front of the coffee house. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar(乞丐) came into the coffee house. He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple — people pay the coffee in advance(預(yù)先) for someone who can't afford it. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. Meanwhile, I understood suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

1.How many cups of coffee did the two young men order?

A．One. B．Four. C．Five. D．Seven.

2.Who ordered a suspended coffee ?

A．My friend. B．Two girls. C．Three lawyers. D．A poor man.

3.The tradition with the suspended coffee started in ______.

A．America B．Italy C． England D．Canada

4.The writer wants to tell us to ______.

A．pay for others B．enjoy the sunshine

C．help someone in need D．order more than before

Spread of Ebola

Ebola began in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The World Health Organization reported that more than 20,000 people might have been infected (感染). Thousands of children lost their parents because of the illness and millions more no longer attended school.

Ebola got worldwide attention when international medical workers in West Africa became infected and returned home for treatment. The spread of Ebola led to worldwide efforts to develop new medicine. The international community raised money and workers to deal with it. However, about 8,000 people have died from Ebola so far and doctors expect many more deaths.

Fear of flying

In early March, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. The plane carried 239 people. It was flying from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur. Nine months later, the plane remains lost though China has been searching from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean.

In July, Malaysia Airlines had another accident. A missile (導(dǎo)彈) hit Flight 17 as it flew over Ukraine. All 298 passengers and crew (全體工作人員) were killed.

A few days later, a TransAsia Airways plane crashed (墜毀) in bad weather in Taiwan, China. Forty-eight people were killed. The next day, July 24, there was another terrible plane crash. An Air Algerie flight crashed in northern Mali killing all 116 people on the plane.

The year ended with the crash of AirAsia Indonesia Flight 8501 into the Java Sea. All 162 passengers and crew are believed to have been killed.
