Dear Tom,
I’ve received your letter and thanks for your concern.

_______________________________________________________Yours, Li Hua                                       

   Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money.

    This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.

    One Sunday morning, the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation. “Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”

A．the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
     The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

There are three steps to being friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

36. Sally wants to tell students the ways to ____.

   A. find friends         B. plant trees       C. get happy       D. keep fit

37. What makes good friends? A good friend should ______.

   A. be lovely and cool                     B. be kind and patient

   C. have lots of money                     D. have good looks

38. According to the text, you can _____ your friend after a fight.

   A. buy a present for                      B. never say a word to

   C. have dinner with                      D. write a letter to

39. What is the best title of the text?

   A. Teenagers and friendship                B. The good friends around you

   C. The trouble of growing up               D. The care and keeping of friends

    It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room.  I  could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his  own. I  remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间）when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff's. He won’t mind.”

    It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween Us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could or should know  everything about him.

    It turned out that getting Jeff  permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it ” Then his vcce softened, “Mum，I won't be living  at home again—you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no  door closed here— they had all opened up again.

    As John and I  were  cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew  was gone forever.I looked at the room and ,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,seifish .Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of indepenence ,to disappear behind the door,It was time for letting go to happen again.

24. Which of the following  is TRUE  according to the passage?

A. John was  moving to live with his brother.

B. John was eager  to get a room of his own.

Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．   

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．

The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special.” said marketing director Margaret Jobling．

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．

28．Instagram probably is______．

A．a restaurant free of charge           B．a campaign of “Food for Life’’

C．a program used to share photos       D．a new marketing project

29．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?

A．Confused    B．Unconcerned    C．Opposed   D．Interested

30．“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．

A．raise the price of frozen food          B．attract more customers

C．create a new social media trend        D．reward the regular customers

31．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A．Pay by Picture    B．The Pop-up Diner  C．No Need to Pay       D．Food for Life

Rick Garcia is going to play outside with his friends. He is taking out his reliever inhaler (缓解物吸入器) and taking two puffs (吸). Five minutes later, he’s on the field with his friends, running after a soccer ball. Rick has asthma (哮喘), but he knows how to control it.

Asthma is a lung disease. A person with asthma may cough or suffer from shortness of breath. Asthma can begin at any age. Childhood asthma, often beginning when a child is younger than 10 years old, is one of the most common childhood diseases. Doctors report that the number of young people with asthma is increasing. It is the number one cause of absence from school. If parents have asthma, their children are more likely to develop the disease. Children in homes where an adult smokes are more at risk.

It is important to find out the triggers for asthma. As we know, dust, pollen, or animals often make people suffer from asthma. Once a child learns the triggers, he can help prevent future attacks. About half of all children outgrow asthma and then asthma attacks stop when they are teenagers. However, many people live with the disease into adulthood.

 Children often take control drugs once or twice a day to help prevent asthma attacks, if a child begins to have an asthma attack, a quick-relief drug is also necessary. This is often an inhaler. School-aged children usually carry their inhalers with them. This medication works quickly and children begin to breathe more easily in a few minutes. If a child has a serious asthma attack, he may need full-time care at a hospital or a doctor’s office.

    Missus Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars． It seemed to her a very large amount of money． For a day or two， she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices． Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones． She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys． Her daughter Mag should have another dress． And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children． The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement．

    On the day she planned to go shopping with the money， she ate a light meal﹣no!

    Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned， and preparing herself to go shopping， she forgot to eat at all？

    When she arrived at the large department store， she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance． A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price． A young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings． She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry， and started to feel the soft， expensive items． Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely． Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face． She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly， "Well， I will buy this pair．"

    Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies' rest area． She had let herself be controlled by some machine﹣like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility． How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag． Next， she went to the shoe department， where she tried on a pair of new boots． Her foot and ankle looked lovely． She could not believe that they were a part of herself．
