By listening to her, I realized I had helped her a lot: she looked from some of her past pains. When she was finished, she told me something that me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “You’re the only person I was able to tell this to. The other volunteers are too busy to me. You’ll come back next week, right?” After blowing on her newly coated nails(指甲), I smiled and , “Yes, I’ll see you next Friday.” That day, I was gladdened by the that I had helped somebody. I realized an action as as listening became something much more. During every second I spent there, I realized how much of a difference my could have on the lives of others.

THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers. “Mark Twain”, the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844). Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him. The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works. Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isn’t really looking for freedom, but survival. It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产). Huck and Jim’s friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience. Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century. With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers. 1. How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 2.Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works? A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner. B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races. C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil. D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience. 3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? A. Huck gets away from his father for survival. B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom. C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times. D. Without the special coins, he’ll probably be forgotten. 4. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______. A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious. C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time. 5.What’s the main purpose of the article? A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain. C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain. D. To draw readers’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.

It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour. Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well. In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners. “Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”. There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you. There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes half closed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想),”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm. So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh? 1. What does the word “terrifying” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. 可怕的 B. 高兴的 C. 伤心的 D. 无聊的 2.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Cats can copy humans' behaviours. B. Cats are smart and have a long memory. C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats. D. Humans can learn from cats in some way. 3. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge. B. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga C. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food. D. Cats' going to their owners for food. 4.What can we learn from our cats? A. To remain peaceful. B. To be able to copy. C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends. 5. The best title for the passage could be “________”. A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your cat C. You can make your cat social D. Your cat is copying your habit

Nobody likes making mistakes. But, no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes correctly, they can move you forward. If you have made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to offer a sincere apology (道歉)in person. A good apology will probably make the other person forgive(原谅) you. If you refuse to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you. If you go through life afraid to make a mistake, you will spend most of your life doing nothing. There is no harm in making mistakes; it is a part of going forward. The more duties you take, the more mistakes you will possibly make. Unluckily, it is natural to justify(为……辩解)our actions. When you make a mistake, you will first blame someone else. When mistakes are made, the boss won’t be interested in justifications. Sometimes it is best to say, very simply--yes, I made a mistake. Mistakes happen for different reasons. To avoid repeating them, you need to understand the main reason. For example, you may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired, try to get more sleep; if you are stressed, look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work. You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same time, you should make a decision to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren’t making progress and they cause repeating suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes you need to break these bad habits. The sooner, the better.

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological(adj.生物的) clock. Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a.m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work.” Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore. Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(n.生物钟学), the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heat attacks, occur(v.发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning. Many doctors believe chronobiology(生物钟) can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors! 请根据短文内容,回答下面问题。 1.What clocks do you all have inside your bodies?(no more than 3 words) 2.How far did Barbara Wells run every morning? 3.How did Barbara Wells’ legs and back get well?(no more than 6 words) 4.What is the right time for the person who has a heart attack to take heart medication? 5.What can we learn from the passage?
