My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. From then on I always 36  at home and with friends.
That winter I notice that many  37   people had difficulty getting to the  38  store after a snowstorm. So I started to spend part of a   39   Saturday knocking at apartment doors to ask if any one needed 40  from the store. The grocery store was down a huge hill and I would bring   41   a couple of bags of groceries for them. I liked it and it made them so 42  .
It started with  43  alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 44  in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them  45  and it became a routine. I  46  asked for or took money for it. Sometimes the ladies 47  slip the change in my pocket. I would just buy something the next time to give to them, 48 flowers or a card. I did this every 49_ up to when I left to go to college.
When I was away at   50 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she  51  what I used to do -—I had never told her.
Now, I’m a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 52 ; Everyone in the world needs help, and everyone can also   53  help.

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(說明書). And each child is 36 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折), not  37
what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is  38  by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American  39 .

As children grow, they get more  42  to make their own choices.  43  choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to  44  them with. When they  45  young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage  46  . Of course, many young adults still  47
their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “l(fā)eave the  48  ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own , not  49  to their mother’s apron strings (圍裙帶). The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to  50  their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own  51  . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the  52  
to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a (an)  53  among equals.  But  54  to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to  55  . Even as adult, they respect and honor their parents.

I was in lodgings (寄宿處) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘謹(jǐn)) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.
One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why.
小題1:At his lodgings, the author __________.
A.seldom had visitors
B.wished he had more visitors
C.was always disturbed by other people’s visitors
D.had too many visitors.
小題2:Whenever the author heard the sound of the girl’s voice__________.
A.he sat listening to itB.he saw her moving upstairs
C.he threw down his booksD.he tried to see who it was
小題3:People who were asked about the girl__________.
A.told him all about herB.didn’t want to tell him much
C.didn’t tell him anythingD.were angry when he mentioned her
小題4:From this passage we can see that the author was____________.
A.was not interested in SallyB.curiously attracted by Sally
C.a(chǎn)ngry at being disturbed by SallyD.a(chǎn)fraid to get to know Sally

Do you know that a Mom deserves a special gift this year for Mother’s Day? Sure, flowers can always brighten Mother’s day and a dinner out is always appreciated. However, doesn’t she deserve something more personal or something that lasts longer than an evening?
I’m talking about the gift of fitness. Improved fitness is a gift that is invaluable to everyone. When you give a woman the gift of fitness, you are helping her open a door to better health. I can’t think of a more thoughtful gift that shows the recipient(接受者) how much you care about their well-being. By giving the gift of fitness you are providing them with unlimited health benefits. And, its a gift that you can truly feel proud to give.
Of course, we all know that exercising can help people stay slim and fit. But, do you also know about all the other great benefits of exercising? Daily physical activity reduces stress and can help you sleep better. Fitness has been linked to reducing the risk of some diseases and to warding off depression. Researchers also believe that strength training can help prevent osteoporosis(骨質(zhì)疏松). Not to mention that exercising also improves self-esteem, increases energy and helps you be able to do continuous work for longer.
All Moms would find these fitness benefits extremely invaluable. If they are like most of us, they have probably even mentioned how they would like to drop a few pounds or just get in better shape. In fact, experts say that about 62% of Americans are currently on a diet. By giving the gift of fitness you are helping provide your mom with extra motivation. She may be more motivated to actually get fit because she doesn’t want to feel guilty about ignoring such a thoughtful gift .
小題1:The first paragraph is most likely to tell us that___________.
A.we should invite our mom to a dinner for Mother’s Day
B.it is good to send flowers to moms for Mother’s Day
C.we should give a special gift to our Mom for Mother’s Day

Years ago while lying in my hammock (吊床)and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence.Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor' s 10 - year - old daughter' s rabbit.For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard.I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower.Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused".
Back to the hammock and JD.Within the hour the neighbor' s Volvo palled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage.Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: " D - A - D - D – Y。!"
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage.Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly shouted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's rabbit and put it back in its cage?"
小題1:The girl was shocked because _____.
A.the rabbit was killed by someone
B.the rabbit was too clean
C.the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cage

小題2:That day the girl ran to the cage _____.
A.because her rabbit was there
B.because she.had a habit of going there to see her rabbit

Have you ever stayed up late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can make you tried and grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day.
Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is very important. It helps kids be able to do their best during the day.
A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(創(chuàng)造性的) thinking. For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.
While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.
小題1:The underlined word grumpy in the first paragraph means_______.
A.excited and happyB.a(chǎn)ctive and creative
C.impatient and angryD.bored and weak
小題2:Choose the best title for this passage.
A.Sleep to SuccessB.A Recent Study
