My shopping list was long and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a weeks worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could afford it all. As I approached the door, I saw an old man with kind eyes and a gentle smile. He said he was collecting for a local food bank. He handed me a second shopping list and asked if I could help. I smiled back, took the list and walked into the store. I really wanted to help but wasnt sure whether I could this time. I walked through the store, getting what I needed. When I looked down at my full cart I wondered again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then as I put my own list back into my pocket I remembered the food bank list under it. I smiled. I went over and picked up of my wallet, but my heart felt six times larger when I did it. And when everything was totaled, I had just enough to pay. It takes so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a childs hungry belly. A smile and hug can help to heal a hurting heart.

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained. He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. Why not write to other people who need encouragement? He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered. Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of Gods love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith. It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail. The letter said, Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.8. In order to live in a meaningful way, what did the man begin to do?A.

The prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man.11. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Stories about a helpful person B.

Special letters of encouragementDThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.Onesuch example is the word matter. In fact,mattercan mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of themattera matter of principle(原则).If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, butyou dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. Its not that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the wordmatter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “Whats the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “Whats the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude(粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “Whats the matter with you?” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it depends on thecontext, and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going(随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say,matteris a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use ofmatter.12. We can infer from the text that the wordmatter_.A. has a wide use B.can mean moneyC.is the most used English word D.has the most different expressions13. What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4?A.Every penny counts. B.Stick to what is right.C.Follow your friends advice.D.Be careful when making friends.14.The underlined word “context” in the text probably means“A.choice B.person C.situation D.answer15.The author develops the text mainly by _.A.using examples B.giving instructionsC.describing his experiences D.discussing research findings二、七选五 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。Ways to have a happy school life Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life.
