Across the street was a gas station, which was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing under the narrow overhang to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I couldnt wait to see my gifts. Once I got home, there was hardly any time to enjoy my gifts. My grandparents were still waiting for us to have Christmas dinner together at their house. As we drove down the highway, I noticed that the family was still there. The closer we got to my grandparents house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned and said, “I cant stand it!” “What?” asked my mother. “Its those people back there at the gas station, standing in the rain.” When my father pulled into the station, I saw there were five of them: the parents and three childrentwo girls and a small boy. Then we learned that the family was waiting for the bus to Birmingham, where the man planned to find a job. “Well, that bus wont come along for several hours. Winborns just a few miles away, and there is a shed (棚) with a cover there,” my father advised. “I will run you up there.” Then they climbed into our car,. My father looked back and asked the children if Father Christmas had found them. Three sad faces gave him his answer. “Well, Father Christmas said he was having trouble finding you, so he just left your toys at my house this morning. Lets go to get them first,” my father said. All at once, the three childrens faces lit up. When we arrived at our house, one girl spied a lovely doll, that little boy took a ball, and the other girl picked up something else.

In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been killed by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm. Her family worried about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard her promise: “No more hitchhikers!” Then, one night, she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldnt leave him here in this storm.The stranger explained that his car was broken, and she told him to get in the car. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away.

Some children ask for the same food over and over again, some may refuse to try anything new, and some may keep asking for snacks(点心). Therefore, having healthy eating habits becomes one of the most important lessons that a child should learn. Most parents struggle with managing good eating habits and nutrition(营养) for their children. Parents should make a plan for their childrens nutritional needs. Start your childs day with a good breakfast. Breakfast is necessary to provide the nutrition for an active day. Studies show that children do better in study when they begin a day with a good breakfast.Allow your child to help you plan and prepare a meal. He will be glad to eat foods that he has helped to put on the table. The mealtime environment has a lot to do with how your child will feel about food. Try to serve your meals at the same place at the same time of a day. Keep the meal itself as the main event and leave the toys and television for later use.Snacks are also important. We can give our body and brain energy by eating snacks between meals. Children are often hungriest in the afternoon after school and in the evening. Offer snacks at regular time between meals. This way, your child wont refuse a meal because he knows a snack is soon to follow. More importantly, when offering snacks, you should be careful with what to choose.13. The main idea of the second paragraph is that _ .A. Most children go to school without eating breakfast.B. One shouldnt eat too much for breakfast.C. A good breakfast is important to children.D.

To help their children form healthy eating habits, parents _ .A. should encourage their children to eat more often at school.B. can ask the children to help with meal planning and preparation.C. must make the mealtime environment as quiet as possible.D. should serve some snacks while having a meal.15.

Examples of healthy snacks.第2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。注意：如选项为E，请填涂AB；选项为F,请填涂CD；选项为G，请填涂BCHow to concentrate on studiesHow to get your mind to concentrate on studies when there are all possible distractions (分心的事)?
