I bring Kitty home four years ago. My neighbor Mrs. Brown fell in love with her immediate she saw her. She was such lovely cat, after all. Kitty also seemed to like Mrs. Brown. Two years ago, however, Mrs. Brown got cancer. Having been treating in hospital, she decided to receive treatment at home. Since my husband and I were busy in our work, we seldom went to see her. Three months ago, Mrs. Brown died. To our surprised, her husband came to thank to us for keeping Kitty one day. He said in the past several months, Kitty went to accompany his wife every day before my husband and I went to work. With she around, his wife felt so warm and wasn’t in so much pain. I never knew that. That Kitty did was really heart-warming.
Two days ago I was woken up at 1 am. My roommate stood at the door (she was returning from a club) along with a huge middle-aged man with long hair. “Please let him in,” she told me, “He has been locked out of his apartment.” She had seen him, cold and shivering (it had snowed the previous night) and immediately asked him to sleep at our place. He was a law student in his fifties who had been doing his homework at the Laundromat (自助洗衣店) when he found he had left his keys in his house.
I have never had a strange man sleep in my house before. My roommate and I are both less than 5 feet and we have been asked not to speak to strangers since we were kids. Not to mention that we’re in a new city that we have lived in for less than a month. He accepted our kindness with hesitation and as soon as dawn broke he left.
The next day he came to our house, saying he owed us big time for not being frozen out in the cold. He left us a beautiful card saying—“Thank you so much. Your actions are so sincere.”
Later he cooked us a wonderful simple “thank you” dinner over which he told us about his life (a coach, a guide, a law student). He told us how he was completely touched by our concern for a total stranger. I learnt a lot that evening. As he talked about how once he brought a homeless man in to eat Christmas dinner with his family, I was deeply touched.
My roommate taught me a huge lesson: Let go of your fear; always leave the door of compassion (同情) open and you can never go wrong.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 36 What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 37 Together , you and your teen can work out a time—table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 38 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
39 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 40 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A. A parent’s attitude will affect their teen’s emotions.
B. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.
C. They will only make the situation worse.

When I was 10，once my parents were away on business，but I had to stay at home alone for a day. I got up early in the morning，thinking about different activity I could do. The first idea was that I could play computer games all through the day without blamed by my mother. Minutes later，I said to me，“Why don't I do something meaningful？” So I planned to cook the meal for my parents. I tried to recall how my mother usually did in the kitchen and arrange everything on my own. With a whole day's effort，I finally made it. I felt it very happy when I saw my parents eating the meal cheerful. They couldn't help say that their son had grown up.
|网1] How to Care for Your Ears?
Ears not only let us hear, but they also paly a role in maintaining our balance, which is vital to our ability to function in daily life. Yet, we ignore them. We can’t even see our ears, except in a mirror. We take it for granted what they do for us day in and day out—until we notice something worng, such as when an earache strikes or when we start having to ask people to repeat what they say. 36 .
◆Clean your ear with a washcloth—covered finger only.
Never put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs (药签). 37 .
◆Leave earwax(耳垢) alone.
Wax is your ear’s way of eliminating （消除）anything foreign that gets into the ear canal. 38 If you find you have too much earwax, use a few drops of earwax remover（去除剂）in the canal. After a few minutes, wash the ear with warm water.
◆Avoid noisy places.
Rock concerts and construction sites are just a few places that frequently have noise levels that can damage
hearing.Any place where you have to shout to be heard should be avoided.
◆ 39 .
Be careful not to play MP3 too loud, especially if using earphone.
◆Be careful with illness and medications.
Respiratory illnesses should be treated to avoid their spread to the ears.Certain medications can damage hearing, so follow the directions carefully before taking them.
See your doctor if you suffer from sudden hearing loss or hear noises in your head. 40 .
A．Most people don’t need to clean wax out of their ears.
B．In such case, go to see a doctor as soon as possible.
C．These can be symptoms of a serious illness which needs to be treated.
D．This article will show you how to care for your ears.
E．Turn the volume down.
F．Avoid using earphones while listening to MP3.
G．Your ear canal is very narrow, and a swab can damage it.
Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.
I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗杀)of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively sprit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It’s also a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you’ll find yourself creating vivid mental images---matching the music that you are listening to.

For most of the history, interpretation was mainly done consecutively, with speakers and interpreters making pauses to allow each other to speak. But after the appearance of radio technology, a new simultaneous(同时的) interpretation system was developed.
In the simultaneous mode, interpreters translate a speaker’s words while he speaks without pauses. On the surface, it all looks effortless, but behind the scenes, human interpreters work continuously to ensure every idea gets across as intended, and that is no easy task.
It takes about two years of training for already fluent bilingual professionals to expend their vocabulary and master the skills necessary to become conference interpreters. To get used to the unnatural task of speaking while they listen, students shadow the speakers and repeat their every word exactly as heard in the same language. In time, they begin to paraphrase what is said, making necessary adjustments as they go.Practicing in this way creates new neural pathways in the interpreters’ brain, and the constant effort of reformulation gradually becomes second nature. Interpreters are also skilled at keeping calm in the fact of chaos. Remember, they have no control over who is going to say what, of how expressive the speaker will sound. A curveball can be thrown at any time. Also, they often perform in front of thousands of people and in very thrilling settings. To conduct a task well, they carefully prepare for an assignment, building glossaries in advance, reading eagerly about the subject matter, and reviewing previous talks on the topic. Finally, interpreters work in pairs. While one colleague is busy translating incoming speeches in real time, the other gives by locating documents, looking up words, and tracking down related information. Because simultaneous interpretation requires intense concentration, every 30 minutes, the pair switches roles. Success is heavily dependent on skillful collaboration.
Language is complex, and when abstract concepts get lost in translation, the consequences may be deadly. As Margaret Atwood famously noted, “War is what happens when language fails.” International conference interpreters of all people are aware of that and work diligently behind the scenes to make it never does.
29. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. How to Be an Effortless Speaker

B. Unexpected events may happen at any moment.
C. Interpreting is like throwing a ball.
D. The speaker sometimes cannot control the interpreter.

B. Because each of them works 30 minutes and then takes a break.

D. Because their success depends on looking for information.
Attitude with action is everything. That’s what I’ve 41 from a simple person at our office gym.

Yesterday, he called me to watch some specific exercises. 54 his interim(昨时的)period of one month was coming to a(n) 55 , he wanted me to learn them properly before he left us. we’ve 56 FitnessOne to appoint Bala as a 57 trainer and now we are waiting for their reply.
Bala could have taken his role as a trainer like our 58 guy since he stayed here only for a month. But he 59 to take it seriously and sincerely. His positive attitude along with his 60 gained our trust and support. I think this is his great achievement.

Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant（不相关的）. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years — but unless we meet the truant officer (学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成）“overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law — as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
28. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that_______.
A. work time is equal to rest times
B. many people have a day off on Mondays
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
29. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people __________.
A. fail to make full use of their time B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time D. welcome flexible working hours
30. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they ______.
A. need to acquire knowledge B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions D. have to observe the law
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Our life is governed by the law of time.
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
I recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.
“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.
“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”
“No, I’m not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet.
“So what brings you here?” He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”
“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”
He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.
“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors（肿瘤）are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.
He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”
The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.
24. The author was stopped by the police officer because ______.
A. he drove too fast B. he forgot to re-register
C. he was seriously ill D. he didn’t have a license
25. The author moved to Virginia probably because ______.

27. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was ______.

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.
The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, from hima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himavā and Himavanta.
In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （负责人）of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.
K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.
Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives（源出）from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.
The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.
Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.
24. How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
25.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me. They were also the best and worse years in my life. At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by yourself. However, my parents didn’t seem to think such. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time, I even felt my parents couldn’t understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home to college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to wherever need help.
