My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s  16   now but it wasn’t that time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I  17  a rest before catching the train, so I bought a   18  and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long   19  to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   20  a place and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the   21   seat. It was one of those   22  young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 23   at the front, not so unusual these days. What did   24  me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just    25  down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me    26   . then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly   27  it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a   28    piece , I felt more  29  than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I  30  it.

The boy gave me a   31   look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone    32  . That really made me feel silly, but it was    33   when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I    34    I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my  35   .

How to Help a Teen Find Summer Volunteer Work

Helping your teen find the perfect summer volunteer job doesn’t have to be hard.__36__. Finding them a job that they enjoy can benefit others as well as themselves. Here are some instructions.

__37_. Some volunteer positions can be found in classified ads under other paying jobs.

Visit the local hospitals and clinics. Most are always looking for volunteers to do anything from handing out reading materials to spending time with kids in the hospital.

__38__ If your teen is a responsible young adult, it’s better to let him call the shelter to find out volunteer opportunities.

Take your teen to visit a nursing home or retirement community. A visit is sometimes a better idea before actually committing to volunteering at any job, and this is especially true at a nursing home where your teen may feel too uncomfortable at times. __39__If not, he’d better find other volunteer positions.

Volunteering isn’t something complex.__40_. Figure out what your teen enjoys, and find him a volunteer job he will love.

A.      Read the classified ads.

B.      Contact homeless shelters.

C.      That the volunteer jobs aren’t paid doesn’t mean your child can get nothing.

D.     Some volunteer positions can be found in classified ads under other paying jobs.

E.      The essential rule is to follow your teen’s interest.

F.      If your teen can make the elderly relaxed and pleased, he may find a perfect volunteer position.

G.     It can be as simple as reading the paper to the neighbor with poor vision each morning.

 [1]Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

[2]However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

[3]This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

[4]When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have _____________ a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

[5]Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

Are you a shy person Do you find shyness prevents you from thinking clearly and performing well in your work Overcoming shyness takes time and it is certainly worth taking some steps. The following are some good suggestions for you to fight against shyness.

                                   Know you are in great company

If you are shy, you are not alone. It is reported that 93 percent of people experience shyness in their lives. And of course there are some cool, nice, kind and generous people who are shy.

Being shy is not easy and sometimes it can be annoying. I have certainly felt this many times. I find the best thing is to give myself time and space. Many shy people say that they need to have some time along each day. If you are shy. make sure you allow yourself time to gather your thoughts. Doing this means you have more energy to deal with others.

                                   Realize you can overcome shyness

Sometimes you can get so baffled by being shy that it can be hard to see that this is something you can overcome. In fact, everyone can overcome shyness. Next time you meet strangers or have to speak before others, try to be brave. You can do it. What’s more, the older you are, the more experience you have. And this means there are situations where you feel comfortable and you are able to overcome your shyness little by little. Don’t just wait Shyness won’t go away if you leave it as it is.

Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule, I thought to myself, “We don’t have time for this.”  41   , the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were: “Hurry up” But my promise to   42 was made almost three years ago, and I began my journey to grasp what   43 in life. My younger daughter is my living   44 of why I must keep trying. In fact, the other day, she reminded me once again.

The two of us had taken a bike ride to the 45  . After buying a cool treat for my daughter, she sat down at a table in   46  admiring the ice cream she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry   47  on her face. “Do I have to rush, Mama?”

I could have  48  .Perhaps the pains of a  49   life don’t ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know 50  she could take her time, I knew I had a(n)  51  . I could sit there  52    about the number of times when I rushed my child through life….or I could celebrate the fact that today I’m trying to do things  53   . I chose to live in today.

   “You don’t have to rush. Just take your time,” I said in a(n)  54   way. Her whole face instantly brightened and her shoulders 55  . And so we sat side by side talking about things that interested us.

    When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. “I 56   the last bite for you, Mama,” my daughter said 57  . As I left the icy goodness put out my thirst, I 58   I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time… and 59  , she gave me her last bite and reminded me that things taste sweeter and love is  60  to get when you stop rushing through life.

In 1990,22-year-old Christopher McCandless gave up his career plans，left behind everyone he knew，donated all his savings to charity，and went off on an adventure，hiking his way through America to Alaska．

    Of course,this is an unusual story most college graduates would not do so. However，studies show that in teenage years, people are more likely to try out new experiences.For example，instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did，a 15-year-old may dream about becoming a traveller一only to find in his early 20s that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive．

    The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older may be that people

generally have similar life patterns and demands．Most people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older，they may have young children and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness，which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the person’s life．New experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity,and so most people prefer to stay with the familiar.

    However，not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergarten．Another may play with the same children and toys on every visit. Young children who avoid new experiences will grow up to be more traditional than others. Psychologist argue that those who have more open personalities as children are more open than others might be when they are older and that young men have a greater interest in novelty than women，although as they age，this desire for new experiences fades more quickly than it does in women．

32. The first paragraph serves as a(n）      ．

   A . introduction                    B．explanation            C. comment                        D. background

33. What does the author think is the key factor that prevents people trying out new   

   experiences?

   A. Age                             B. Partner                 C. Responsibility       D. Education

34. The underlined phrase“interest in novelty”most probably means       ．

   A. independence               B. curiosity                C. security                       D.excitement

35. According to the passage, we can infer that_______.

   A . a child who likes different games may not like to change after growing up

   B . a teenager is not interested in a new start before graduation

   C . women are more likely to try new things than men of the same age

   D . as one gets older, he prefers the old patterns of life

Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,” You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example. What will be the next?

    Flight delays typically lead to frustrated passengers and troubled airline staff,but a one-hour hold-up to the only flight between Guangzhou on Tuesday was accepted without complaint.

   In order to transport a passenger carrying donated human organs, China's Southern Airlines delayed the only direct service from Ganzhou to Guangzhou.

    The airline also provided a priority boarding service by using the "green passage", guaranteeing a safe and fast transfer of the organs, according to Chinanews.

    The airline contacted Ganzhou airport in east China's Jiangxi Province as soon as it was made aware that a doctor named Liao was to transport human organs on the flight.

    The airline's staff arranged for the other passengers to check in ahead of time and warned that the flight would be delayed – but everyone accepted the situation without complaint.

    The "green passage" service meant that Liao took only three minutes to go through the security check and take his seat – along with his precious cargo.

    After the flight arrived in Guangzhou, crew members helped Liao to get off the plane and out of the airport, ensuring the organs reached their intended recipient as soon as possible.

    China's health, police and transportation authorities jointly announced the establishment of a "green passage" on May 6, 2016 to ensure the fast and safe transfer of donated human organs.

24.What did this flight delay lead to ?

A.frustrated passengers  B.afast and safe transfer

C.green passage service  D.troubled airline staff

25. What's the reaction of the passengers on board towards the delay?

A.understandable  B.angry C.upset D.unconcerned

26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“recipient”in Paragraph7？

A.patient  B.delivery  man  C.provider  D.medical doctor

    The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home，it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case，we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad，we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many，yet we can still learn a lot.

A Chinese graduate’s record-setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.

The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale’s new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund (资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.

Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of people online voiced supporting for Zhang’s move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.

“We should look at this news from an international standpoint,” said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said, “Although Yale gets the money, the donation will also benefit China.”

“It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges.” He said that China has also received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang’s move should be regarded with “respect, understanding and encouragement”.

In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non-government organizations. “China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future,” he said.

Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. “Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years.” He said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that.”

Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.

51. Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just ______.

A. to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money

      B. to pay Yale back for the free education he received

      C. to help change the pattern of the one-way assistance

      D. to promote the relationship between China and the US

52. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?

      A. objective             B. supportive        C. opposed            D. unconcerned

53. From the passage, we can see professor Chi Fulin argues that ________.

      A. more Chinese should be involved in donating money to US

       B. the behavior of Zhang Lei is respectable and deserves praise

       C. government organizations matter much in exchange programs

D. universities in China should take management more seriously

54. As for Zhang Lei, ________.

      A. his generosity made him world-famous overnight

      B. his company mainly serves the Yale Investments Office

      C. Yale shaped his life and taught him the spirit of giving

      D. he considers Yale his preference to Renmin University

55. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

      A. Act of Kindness set a record
