I was feeling a little tired, as I was carrying my shopping bags. They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park. As I walked towards the gate of the park, I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag in his dirty hand. He walked to a nearby dustbin and started looking through it. I suddenly felt sad. I knew this man would take all that he could get, so I went up to him and gave some fruit to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him. A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then some drinks, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughters lucky day. Thank you, boy.” Then he went away，singing a song. Just then, I realized what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help. Everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesnt cost you much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The mans happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others. 21. The writer gave the poor man some fruit because _. A. he couldnt carry so much fruit B. he knew the mans daughter liked the fruitC. the poor man asked him for some fruitD. he wanted to help the poor man22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The poor man had no money to buy delicious food for his daughter.B. The poor mans daughter might be sad. C. It was the poor mans daughters birthday that day. D. Giving never costs much. 23. The passage mainly tells us _. A. giving is gettingB. not to be a poor manC. to give others fruitD. not to look through the dustbin BOne Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents house to feast upon Moms wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混)his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.We decided there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor(肿瘤). Its too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”Even with the treatment, my fathers condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal(晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the time they could share, I couldnt shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.On the visit to my parents home during what we all know was my fathers last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?” He tried to speak, but he couldnt make out a word. “Im sorry, but I cant understand you,” I said. With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”We dont learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.24. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.B. The writers father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.C. The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.D. The writers father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.25. What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?A. It takes a long time for Father to recover.B. Theres little possibility for Father to recover.C. Father needs love and care from his family.D. They need a proper time to operate on Father.26. The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because _.A.he was not used to openly showing his emotionsB. he was not so attached to the writerC.he believed in strictness and punishmentD. he thought there was no need to tell the writer27. What does the writer attempt to tell us?A. Dont wait to see a doctor till it is too late.B. Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.C. We dont often value health until we lose it.D. Bravely express your love for your family.CThe meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”28. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _.A. can afford to travel to different placesB. has a strong wish to be successfulC. is willing to help those in need without payD. has made a big fortune in life29. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _.A. after she finished high schoolB. after she met Mother TeresaC. when she was touring CalcuttaD. when she was working in a hospital30. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.B. She wanted to follow Mother Teresas example.C. She had already had some experience.D. She was asked by Mother Teresas example.31. What is Tracys “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A. Improving oneself through helping others.B. Going abroad to help the sick.C. Working in Mother Teresas home.D. Doing simple things to help the poor. DMore than 4 in 10 cancers, 600,000 in the UK alone, could be prevented if people led healthier lives, say experts. The population of the UK is about 63,000,000.Latest researches from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor (因素), followed by unhealthy diets. The charity advises people to live healthily, limit alcohol intake（酒精摄入） and do regular exercise.According to the research from 2007 to 2011, more than 300,000 cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking. A further 145,000 were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed (加工的) food. (肥胖) contributed to 88,000 cases and alcohol to 62,200. Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors.Professor Max Parkin, a Cancer researcher, says, “Theres now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk, with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors.“Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holiday so we dont have to stop eating beef pies and drinking wine but its a good time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2015.“Leading a healthy lifestyle cant promise that someone wont get cancer but we can stack the odds in our favor by taking positive steps.”Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk. It says campaigns such as Smokefree, Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness (意识). Its important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments, but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer.32.

According to Professor Max Parkin, .A. the causes of cancer are still unclear now B. its OK to drink wine during festivals C. people should stop having unhealthy food completely D. a healthy life style will protect us from cancer34.

There are many reasons to 42 this way of thinking and begin to compare ourselves 43 with ourselves.The first reason to 44 comparing yourself with others is that there will always be someone better than you. It doesnt matter in which aspect; it is always 45 . Therefore, you could feel worse to others. For example, you can be the best 46 , and this can make you feel extremely 47 . But if someday you find someone is better than you are, you could feel 48 , although you are 49 good at delivering a speech.The second reason to avoid this kind of 50 is that you will always find someone 51 than you. This of course can make you feel good, but this feeling can turn into a 52 pride. For example, if you are the second best student in your class, and one day the very best student 53 the school, you will then be the best one 54 you are still only as good as you were before.The last but most 55 reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is that when we do, we are likely to 56 them. We may do the same thing as them, and act and think like them too. Then we will never know who we 57 are and what we really want, and then we will never get improved.For all these reasons and because we are 58 , we should not compare ourselves with others. In this way, we will not feel less or more than others, and we will 59 ourselves as we really are. 60 , we will be happier.41.A. happyB. busyC. young D.good42.
