It was Molly's job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
     One morning,  in addition to his usual lunch bag,  Molly handed him a second paper bag.This one was worn and held together with staples (书钉). 
     "Why two bags?" her father asked."The other is something else,  " Molly answered."What's in it?""Just 
some stuff (东西). Take it with you."
     Not wanting to discuss the matter,  he put both sacks into his briefcase,  kissed Molly and rushed off.
At midday he opened Molly's bag and took out the contents:two hair ribbons (丝带),  three small stones,  a plastic dinosaur,  a tiny sea shell,  a small doll,  and 13 pennies...The busy father smiled,  finished 
eating,  and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket,  Molly's stuff included.
     That evening,  Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper."Where's my bag?""What bag?""The one I gave you this morning.""I left it at the office,  my dear.""I forgot to put this note in it,  " she said."And,  
besides,  Daddy,  the things in the sack are the things I really like.I thought you might like to play with them.You didn't lose the bag,  did you,  Daddy?""Oh,  no,  " he said,  lying."I just forgot to bring it home.I'll 
bring it tomorrow."While Molly hugged her father's neck,  he unfolded the note that read,  "I love you,  
Daddy." Molly had given him her treasures-all that a 7yearold held dear.
     Love was in a paper bag,  and he missed it-not only missed it,  but had thrown it in the wastebasket.
So he went back to the office.Just ahead of the night janitor (看门人),  he picked up the bag from the wastebasket.He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully.The bag didn't look so good,  but the 
stuff was all there and that's what counted.
     After dinner,  he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack.It took a long time to tell.
     Everything had a story or a memory.
     "Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life." he thought.We should all remember that it's not the destination that counts in life,  but the journey.That journey with the people we love is all that really matters.It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.

  It was a bad time for me. I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily (不整洁地）• Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail (扶手）to lean against.

  That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. ‘Wow” 1 thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied, “You look like you，ve had a tough day.” i thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

  A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Veiy random!

  Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

That´s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others 一 if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

Money Matters   

Parents should help their children understand money.  36   So you may start talking about money when your child shows and interest in buying things, candy or toys , for example.

1. The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).  37  When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (复杂的) ways of using money .

2. Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.  38   If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money , explain, “you have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “ You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

3.  39     

Begin at the grocery store（杂货店）.Pick out two similar brands of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品)， for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money .  40   If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

B. The value of money

C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest     

D. Permit the child to choose between them

E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you

F. Tell your child why he can ---or cannot---have certain things

G. Wise decisions

Give me six hours to cut down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

—Abraham Lincoln

A great quote(语录), isn’t it?   16   When they have a project, many people just work on it directly with little or no preparation. However, those who are clever prepare things well in advance and finish the job in less time and with less stress.   17    Here are three ways that preparation can help you:

   18    Few things waste your time more than working on the wrong project. The time saved from not doing the wrong project far outweighs(比......重要) the time spent on researching it.

   19    Those with no preparation will use the first method they can think of. It is possible for you to find other methods to do things better and faster. A good way is by watching how the best people in your field work. Then find out a method that suits your style and situation.

Preparation makes you ready when a chance comes. Keep building your skills and knowledge even when there is no project.    20    

There is a danger : You could be over-prepared. Even worse, some people use preparation as an excuse not to take action. Don’t do it.

A. Preparation helps you decide if something is worth doing.

B. Find out the most suitable method of your own.

C. Preparation helps you find the most efficient way to do things.

D. Good preparation can make the difference between being productive and just being tired.

E. As Seneca said, “ Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

F. One way is to take a good look at the person talking.

G. It’s the opposite of what many people do.

Some deep thought in us know that when _28   a small mistake has been made, your  29   will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is  30  .

　　I remember a doctor friend,  31  me about a man who came to him with 32  illnesses: headache, insomnia (失眠), stomachaches and so on. No physical   33  could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “ 34   you tell me what’s on your conscience , I can’t help you.”

　　After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he   35  all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was  36 . His father had died , so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an   37  and enclosing (附寄) a  38  . In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box. As the letter disappeared, the man   39  into tears. “Thank you, doctor,” he said, “I think I’m all right now.” And he  40  .

Last Saturday, mom and I went to buy a down jacket for my grandpa. When we got to a big store, we saw down jackets of vary colours and styles. There were so many of them that it

spent us quite a while to decide which one to buy. Finally, under the help of the shop assistant,

he selected a black thick jacket for grandpa. Immediately, we returned back home to show it

to my grandpa. Seeing it, he was very happy and couldn’t wait to put on. But we were annoying

to find something was wrong with the zipper. Hurriedly, I took it back to the store and explained the shop assistant the problem .To my satisfaction, she is very kind and helped me choose another one patiently. Stand in front of the mirror, my grandpa looked at himself in the new coat, smiling contently. How delighted I was! 

A group of homeless children in the Indian capital of New Delhi publish a newspaper telling about their own lives. It is called Balaknama, which means “children’s voice”.

The newspaper is written and edited by children up to 19 years old. About 10,000 people read it. The children write about poverty, child labor, underage marriages and drugs. When reports arrive, they sit down to select the story, and fights usually break out. They argue: this story will have more effect than that story. So there’re a lot of debates before the final selection goes to print.

The newspaper has 70 reporters in several states and 14 in the capital. All of the reporters, editors and managers are homeless children. Many of their parents are jobless and cannot read or write. The children now earn money, and many of them attend classes online.

The newpaper is published every month. It has eight pages. In 2002, when it began operations, the newspaper was published four times a year. It has changed the lives of many of the children who publish it, and hopes to improve the lives of thousands of others.

Non-governmental organizations and charity groups support the newspaper. Sanjay Gupta leads a group that helps the children and gives money to the newspaper. “They feel very encouraged when people appreciate them. When they talk to the officials and before the media, they gradually build up their self-confidence. I think Balaknama is a powerful tool for them. The newspaper costs about three cents. That is lower than the price of a small cup of tea in India. But the low cost gives the children hope that they will someday have a home and a job.”

5. What can we learn about reports in Balaknama?

A. They often cause disagreement.         

B. They all come from the capital.

C. They are chosen by managers directly.   

D. They are about the lives of children in India.

6. Which of the following about Balaknama is TRUE?

A. It is published every three months.      

B. It is designed for readers under 19.

C. It is operated by homeless children.     

D. It aims to help more children receive an education.

7. What can we learn from Sanjay Gupta’s words?

A. Balaknama helps children become confident.          

B. People usually read Balaknama while drinking tea.

C. The government should help Balaknama financially.  

D. The price of Balaknama is too low to support the children.

I put my sunglasses on and took a deep breath. With her hand held   41in mine, we started walking down the street to her first day of school. I knew that she would be crying; she always cries when she is anxious about new   42  .

As we walked, she asked, “What if   43   talks to me?”

“I know that your   44   will talk to you. She’ll help you find your seat and she’ll even __45   you all to each other. And you already know two friends in the class from preschool. They are   46  too, I bet.”

She   47  and started to play with her backpack strap. It’s the backpack that we spent 20 minutes   48   up the night before. And the same one she slipped her small animal puppy into _ 49   she thought I wasn’t looking this morning.

“What if I get shy and can’t talk to anyone”

“You might feel shy at first,” I said to her, “  50   give yourself a little time and you’ll realize that you are having fun and feeling more   51 .”

She looked up at me and smiled, as we waited at a stop sign. “I’m   52   but really excited.”

“What are you most excited for?”

“  53  .”

I laughed because this was the same girl who weeks before told me she was   __54__from running one block down the street and needed to rest and drink water to   __55  .

As we turned the corner, her face dropped. The massive group of students gathered everywhere overwhelmed her and her face   56   fell as the tears swelled up in her eyes.

“You can do this, sweetie. Everyone has a place to queue up in   57  ; let’s go find yours.”

We lined up with her classmates and just as she was about to hold onto my leg   __58  , her friend from preschool stood next to her. In a second, she   59  . As the teacher began to walk them all into the school, she was not   60  , not holding onto me, but smiling. I held my husband’s hand, feeling happy and proud.

43　 it into the hat．He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some _44．He put it back so that everyone

who passed  　45　 would see the new words．

  Soon the hat began to 　46　．There were a lot more people 　47　 money to the blind boy．That afternoon the man who had 　48　 the sign came to see how things were．The boy 　49　 his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said, “I just wrote the 　50　．I said what you said but in a different way.”

  What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I 　51　 see it．”

   Do you think the previous sign and the new one were 　52　the same thing? Of course both signs 　53　 people that the boy was blind．　54　  , the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat because of his blindness．The second sign told people that they were  　55　 enough and able to enjoy the 　56　 of the day , which the boy couldn’t.

  There are at least two 　57  we can learn from this simple story.

  The first is : Be 　58   for what you have．Someone else has 　59  . Help where you can.

  The second is : Be creative. Think 　60  .There is always a better way.

    If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you．We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.   36    So challenge the following limits:
    1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously．
    If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．  37    But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I'm not scared!”
    2．   38    
    Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this．Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on．Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．
    3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．
      39   A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders foryourself.     Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself．
    4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．
     Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers - try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they’re going to be．Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class．   40   
A. You should do it continuously．
B. Someone may hang up on you．
C. You don’t need to go to the gym．
D. Running in the gym may be a better choice．
E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself．
F. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop．
G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone．

In China, chain restaurants – especially the big multinational ones – are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”

Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.

In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.

Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.

I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.

4. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.

A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture

B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants

C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status

D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date

5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.

B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.

C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.

D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.

6. We can infer from the article that ______.

A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut

B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends

C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality

D. many Britons don’t like big corporations

7. What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?

A. adapted    B. contributed

A Samoan airline says that it is the world’s first carrier to charge passengers by their weight. Samoa Air, which opened in 2012, asks passengers to give their personal weight during booking, which is then charged according to the length of a flight. The customers will also be weighed just before they board the plane.

"It is believed that all people throughout the world are the same size," Samoa Air CEO Chris Langton said. "Airplanes always run on weight, not seats."

"There is no doubt in my mind that this is the concept of the future. This is the fairest way of your travelling with your family or yourself."

Though the airline introduced the plan last November, it caught people's attention last week when the carrier began international flights to neighboring American Samoa.

Almost at the same time, a Norwegian economist, Bharat Bhatta, published a report suggesting that airlines should charge obese passengers more.

The Pacific Islands contain some of the world’s most common countries for obesity, many ranking in the top 10, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Samoa is ranked number four, with 59.6 percent of the population considered obese, said the most recent WHO report.

According to Samoa Air's latest schedule, the airline charges up to $0.57 per kg for flights in Samoa and $1.03 per kg for its only international flight to American Samoa, around 250 miles.

Children under 12 are charged 75 percent of the adult rate, with fares also based on weight. Any overweight baggage is calculated at the same rate as the passenger's personal weight.

The plan could actually prove cheaper in some cases, such as for families travelling with small children, and Langton said customer reaction has mainly been "amazingly positive".

The idea of charging passengers by weight has been hotly discussed before, and in the US some airlines require those who do not fit into a seat comfortably to buy a second seat.

35. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to? 

   A. Airlines should charge passengers by flight length. 

   B. All people throughout the world are the same size. 

   C. It is unfair to weigh passengers at the airport. 

   D. Airplanes always run on weight, not seats.

36. In Bharat Bhatta’s eyes, Samoa Air's plan might be _______.

   A. funny            B. acceptable      C. strange        D. disappointing

37. A 100 kg adult flying to American Samoa would be charged _______.

   A. $57              B. $75               C. $103         D. $125

38. What does the text mainly tell us? 

   A. 59.6% of Samoans are considered obese.  

   B. Samoa Air introduces pay-by-weight pricing.

   C. Airlines should charge obese passengers more.

   D. Baggage must be calculated as passengers’ weight.
