She and my daughter always have a kind hug. My daughter runs to her, they hug, lock eyes and Ms. Leslie holds her tightly and makes her a round with the “STOP” sign in one hand. Once a neighbor driving her three children to school told me they felt lucky when they got the chance to witness this. They all shared in seeing the joy shared between these two. This morning after watching them and having crossed the street to the other side, I said “That looked like so much fun and can I have a hug too?” Ms. Leslie smiled and we hugged a full five seconds. I could feel our skin touching neck to neck and sense her heart beat. We didnt lock eyes but we did allow our hearts to connect. I got a little teary when she looked at me and said “Thank you so much. It gets hard out here some days when drivers can be so rude. “ As we walked away my daughter wrapped an arm around me, connected with my eyes and just smiled, full of love, as if to say “Mom, now you know. “ And I knew then with my heart the power of a little hug. Ive been delighted in the warmth of that hug through an hour of thick morning traffic. Thank you Ms. Leslie and my little one. It provided you a chance to notice an opportunity to share a little heart hugging energy today. 21. Whats the duty of Ms. Leslie? ( ) A. Warning dangerous drivers never to drive carelessly. B.

What is the writers attitude towards her daughters hug with Ms. Leslie? ( ) A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Optimistic. B Like the possible dangers around the home, getting on the school bus can also bring its own set of dangers. There are several important safety measures that parents should be aware of when it comes to bus safety. Parents should always make sure that someone is taking charge of children at the bus stop to make certain clear ground rules which are in place and are being followedparticularly rules that forbid horseplay in and around the street. Teach children to ask the bus driver for help in picking up anything they may have dropped around the bus, as children getting dropped articles are often hit by the bus or another vehicle because they are not seen by the bus driver or by oncoming traffic. Children should be asked to take five large steps away from the bus when they get it off, and make sure that the bus driver can see you and look you directly in the eyes to signal it is OK to cross the street. It is still very important that children also look both ways as they cross the street. Inform children that they must never speak to any stranger who talks with them first and that they must never accept a ride from any person unless their parents tell them directly that it is OK. Teach kids that adults should ask other adults for help, not kids. If an adult asks a kid for help, that child should get another adult. If for any reason a child feels uncomfortable or unsafe at the bus stop they need to bring it to a parents or caregivers attention. Remember, planning ahead is always the best safety measure. Follow these rules and your family will be off danger! 25. The underlined word “horseplay” in Paragraph 2 has the similar meaning as_. A. ride a horse around B. chase each other C. stay in order D. play game on horse 26. What should a child do when his book falls around the bus? ( ) A. Turn to the bus driver. B. Ask other children for help. C. Pick it up quickly by himself. D. Keep silent without telling others. 27. Which of the following is a dangerous behaviour after getting off the bus? ( ) A. Crossing the street without permission. B. Standing out of the drivers sight. C. Leaving the bus in a hurry. D. Staying too near to the bus. 28. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about tips on how to_. A. refuse to talk with strangers B. deal with strangers on the road C. avoid dangers from strangers D. escape from dangerous strangers A persons nose is important for breathing and smelling. The nose is also used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to “lead other people by the nose.” For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose,” she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed.” They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed,” chances are he will never “pay through the nose,” or pay too much money, for an object or service. It is always helpful when people “keep their noses out of other peoples business” they do not interfere. The opposite of this is someone who “noses around all the time. “ This kind of person is interested in other peoples private matters. He is considered “nosey.” Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean,” or stay out of trouble. One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose.” This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face.” That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air.” In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacherthey refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose,” or easily seen. 29. Which of the following can best describe a “hard-nosed” person? ( ) A. Stubborn. B. Wise. C. Jealous. D. Generous. 30. A person will not welcome if he_. A. “keep ones nose clean” B. “noses around all the time” C. “keeps ones nose to the grindstone” D. “keep ones nose out of other peoples business” 31. The expression “turn up ones nose” is similar with_. A. “that is no skin off ones nose” B. “look down ones nose” C. “have ones nose in the air” D. “thumb ones nose” 32. Something “right under your nose” means_. A. something hard to understand B. something a teacher asks in class C. something a student refuses to do D. something easy to find D A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is allmilk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husbands niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And dont forget soap for the bathroom. And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from eight to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason. “ The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side. Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution. 33. The author mentioned the shopping in Paragraph 1 to_. A. show womens carefulness B. prove mens quick action C. object to an opinion D. bring up the topic to be discussed 34. The main idea of Paragraph 4 is_. A. women have two same brains on both sides B. men have more complicated brains than women C. different kinds of brain images have been studied D. mens structure of brain is different from womens 35. What causes the difference between mens and womens behaviour? ( ) A. Watching things from different sides. B. Having different attitudes towards life. C. Using different parts of the brain to think. D. Reacting at different speed to problems. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 A lot of smokers start using cigarettes when they are teenagers, only to find later on that they cant kick the habit.
