For John and Amy, birthdays have always been a big deal-a welcome excuse to celebrate life.
When their son, Alex, 36 three in 2005, they invited 20 friends to a nearby park. Not long after that the 37 were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to 38 . “We wanted to do something that would have a(an) 39 on our community, and that our young child could 40 in. We started wondering what 41 fortunate kids do on their birthdays. The next day, we called a local shelter, and learnt that 42 children typically didn’t do 43 to celebrate at all. No cake. No gifts. No party.” The couple said.
Several weeks later, 44 held a party at the 45 for the children who had birthdays that month. They decorated, served cake, and danced with 50 kids. Alex helped to 46 presents.
47 that first party, the couple have turned their simple idea_ 48 Birthday Blessings, a nonprofit that hosts monthly parties at 10 shelters.
To date, Birthday Blessings (birthdayblessings.org.) has thrown more than 500 49 at different shelters and handed out 22, 000 party 50 to nearly 4000 homeless children in and around their community.
Birthday Blessings is 51 entirely by volunteers. The charity（慈善）will take almost anything—toys, clothing, candy, baby items— 52 it’s not used. “These kids never get anything new.” John said, “It makes a big 53 to them psychologically.”
Being “part of this labor love” is 54 making an impression on their son Alex. On his seventh birthday, his grandparents sent a check. 55 it, the first thing he said was that he wanted to give half to the birthday kids.

“What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.
Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David, Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B. J. or R. C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar. What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”
What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. People change names in order to be popular with the new generation.
B. Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.
C. Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.
D. No names can stand the test of time.
When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that _________.
A. the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning
B. you can name after a well-known person
C. surname should be paid attention to
D. you can create a name that is special
The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means .
A. nickname B. the first letter C. short form D. title
The author will name a newly born baby girl .
A. Bertha B. Fanny C. Yunyun D. Elizabeth
What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Names have great significance to Americans.
B. Names change when time goes by.
C. Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.
D. Roses smell sweet by any other name.

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.
1.The reason why people often regret may be that _______.
A. they are too busy to notice the beautiful things
B. they are too careless to cherish precious things
C. they are lazy to observe the surroundings
D. they think that it’s none of their business
2.The idea the author would like to get across to us seems that _______.
A. actions speak louder than words
B. a bad beginning makes a bad ending
C. the lost will never come back
D. each day brings its own bread
3.What method does the author employ to support his opinion？
A. By listing data. B. By comparing the details .
C. By explaining the procedures . D. By taking examples.
4.How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?
A. Many people will not cherish what they have until they lost them.
B. Many people cannot do well until they get older.
C. Many people know what they are doing.
D. Many people regret for what they don’t possess.
