her boss was delighted to help kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to use his own strength to teach presentation skills to her. by taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of important presentations, she benefited from her bosss ideas and was able to strengthen her own presentations. so kiras presentations are now powerful! 28. many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _.a. are confident of themselves b. do not trust other peoplec. are ashamed of doing so d. do not think it necessary29. which of the following may the author agree with?a. asking for help means admitting weaknesses.b. proper requests for help are welcomed. c. helping others is helping oneself.d. weak people often need more help.30. kiras request for help_.a. turned out rewarding b. was turned downc. led to her promotion d. benefited her boss in return31. the purpose of the passage is to_.a. illustrate how to ask for help b. show the importance of mutual(互相的) helpc. call for attention to others requests d. encourage people to ask for kelpdmany christmas customs are based on the birth of christ, such as giving presents because of the wise men, who brought presents to the baby jesus singing christmas carols(颂歌) is based on the scene of the birth with figures of shepherds, the wise men and animals surrounding the baby jesus.the origin of santa claus begins in the 4th century with st. nicholas, bishop of myra, an area in the present-day turkey. by all accounts st. nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. after his death around 340 a. d. he was buried in myra, but in 1087 italian sailors were believed to steal his remains and removed them to italy, greatly increasing st. nicholas popularity throughout europe.his kindness and reputation for generosity gave rise to claims that he could perform miracles and devotion to him increased. st. nicholas became the patron（保护神）saint of russia, where he was known by his red cap, flowing white beard, and bishops mitre. in greece, he was the patron saint of sailors; in france, he was the patron of lawyers, and in belgium, the patron of children and travelers. thousands of churches across europe were dedicated（供奉的）to him and sometime around the 12th century an official holiday was created in his honor. the feast of st. nicholas was celebrated on december 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving and charity.after the reformation, european followers of st. nicholas declined, but the legend was kept alive in holland where the dutch spelling of his name sint nikolass was eventually transformed to sinterklaas. dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. dutch colonists brought this tradition with them to america in the 17th century and here the english name of santa claus appeared.32. why is santa claus so popular in europe?a. because of his reputation for generosity.b. because he died in italy.c. because of the deed of the italian sailors.d. because of his devotion to italian children.33. what was the feast of st. nicholas held for?a. celebrating christs birthday. b. giving thanks to churches.c. marking a holiday d. honoring st. nicholas.34. what does “sinterklaas” in the last paragraph refer to?a. european followers. b. santa claus. c. jesus. d. the dutch.35. which of the following can best describe santa claus?a. generous, devoted and honored. b. dedicated, kind and alive.c. well-known, traditional and lovely. d. popular, famous and creative.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。easy steps to happier livingtake care of your body. our body and mind are connected. 36 it instantly improves our mood and can even lift us out of depression. we dont all have to run marathons -there are simple things we can do to be more active each day. we can spend time outdoors, eat healthily and get enough sleep.notice the world around you. have you ever felt there must be more to life?
