【題目】 In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(積極的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.

The small village suffered a natural disaster(災(zāi)難)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (優(yōu)先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. People in cities don’t live positively

B. People in that village live a very poor life.

C. The people in that small village are hopeful about the future.

D. The writer didn’t want to do volunteer work there.

【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most likely refer to?

A. Especially excited.B. Badly ill.

C. very crowded.D. seriously scared.

【3】What can be the most important in the eyes of the people there?

A. Family values.B. Physical health.

C. Good living condition.D. Children’s education
