            Claude and Louris are "giraffes (长颈鹿)". So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and
    women don't look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them "giraffes"?
            A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks (伸出) its neck out, can see places far away and has a large
    heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a "giraffe" can be a
    person who likes to "stick his or her neck out" for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a
    warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
             "The Giraffe Project (工程)" is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors (表彰) "giraffes" in the US
    and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members
    believe that a person shouldn't draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to "stick their neck out" and
    help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 "giraffes" that the group
    found and honored.
              Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future
    use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they
    should "stick their neck out" and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends' House, where they invite
    twelve homeless people to stay every night.
              Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes (犯罪)every day and their
    work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings
    together and even borrowed money to start an educational (教育的)center to teach young people in a poor part
    of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".
    1. Which of the following is true?
    [     ]
    A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes.
    B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.
    C."Giraffes" is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.
    D. A"giraffe" is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.
    2. "The Giraffe Project" is a group _____.
    [     ]
    A. of police officers
    B. which appeared ten years ago
    C. of ten-year-old children
    D. which takes care of children
    3. People call Claude and Hankins "giraffes" because they _____.
    [     ]
    A. do what is needed for a good world
    B. are not afraid of dangerous work
    C. found a home for some homeless people
    D. made money only for other people
    4. What does "The Giraffe Project" do?
    [     ]
    A. It tells people how to live a quiet life.
    B. It helps the homeless and teaches the young people.
    C. It tries to find 1,000 warm-hearted people in the US.
    D. It shows people what their duty is for a better world.
    5. The passage mainly tries to tell us _____.
    [     ]
    A. what giraffes are like
    B. what the Giraffe Project is
    C. why Claude, Louris, Hankins and Pearson are called "giraffes"
    D. what we should do for a better world
