A. Read the passage and choose the right answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的
答案)：（共 6分）
Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. 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 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” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “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 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
and educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and
Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.
( ) 62. 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 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.

A. of police officers B. which appeared ten years ago
