James Charles is the owner of Kiplin's Automotive Group in Charlotte，North Carolina.For about two months，he has been encouraging people sleeping in their cars to use the company's parking lot as a safe place to sleep at night.
Charles was first encouraged to do something helpful after his team tried to take back a woman's car back in January.
"The gentleman who was taking back the car said， 'we can't take the car：there's
somebody living in the car，""Charles told WBTV.
Then he tried to get the woman into a homeless shelter（收容所）.But he was shocked to find that every shelter in the city was full.Although he paid for her to stay in a hotel for a few nights，he knew that there were other people suffering from the same thing .
Charles made a Facebook post："We would like to provide a safe place for those going through this tough time.We can't put everyone in a hotel，but we can get you a safe place for the night.
Since more and more people have shared his post，people have donated（捐赠） hats，scarves，food，and even an easy-to-move toilet for the parking lot.Not only that，but about 20 different people have helped Charles with his offer by parking their cars overnight at the lot.

3．New Zealand's government recently announced it will help pay for poorer families to replace their old cars with cleaner hybrid（混合动力的）or electric vehicles.The government said it plans to spend ﹩357 million on the test program.
The move is part of a wider plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Greenhouse gases are believed to cause warming temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere.New Zealand plans to provide aid for businesses to reduce emissions and have buses that run on environmentally safe fuel by 2035.The government also plans to provide food-waste collection for most homes by 2030.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem said in a statement， "We've all seen the recent reports on sea level rise and its influence right here in New Zealand.We cannot leave the issue of climate change until it's too late to fix." The plan is a step toward New Zealand's stated goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Reaching net-zero emissions means not creating more carbon in the atmosphere than oceans and forests can remove.Ardern said that reducing dependence on traditional fuels would help protect families from extreme price increases.The plan also sets a goal of reducing total car travel by 20 percent over the next 13 years.The programs will be paid for from a ﹩2.8 billion climate emergency response fund.
Officials said that over time，money collected from polluters would pay for the programs rather than taxes from families.Some critics of the plan say it continued to be less restrictive on New Zealand's huge agriculture industry.Agriculture creates more than half of the nation's total greenhouse gas emissions.But the industry is also important to the economy as the nation's biggest export earner.
David Seymour is the leader of New Zealand's ACT political party.He said that some of the announced programs are proven to be ineffective and have been tried and failed overseas.Seymour added that people should be able to choose how they reduce emissions through the market-basedd emissions trading plan.
（1）Which of the following is NOT New Zealand planning to do？
A．Buy cars for poor families.
B．Offer assistance to business.
C．Use environmentally safe fuels.
D．Spend money on the test program.
（2）What does Jacinda Ardem suggest doing about the climate change？
A．Setting aside the problem.
B．Realizing the stated goal.
C．Addressing the issue early.
D．Decreasing dependence on traditional fuels.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A．New Zealand aims to control carbon emissions.
B．The move has a goal of reducing the use of buses.
C．Achieving net-zero emissions means creating no carbon.
D．Agriculture makes less importance in the nation's economy.
（4）What is David Seymour's attitude towards the program？
A．Negative.
B．Objective.
C．Favorable.
D．Unconcerned.组卷：2引用：4难度：0.5
