beans cafe, the soup kitchen which has volunteered to feed hundreds of hungry people every day for many years.the idea began to take off. i began to receive more e-mails and calls from kind people. they tried their best to show their concerns about the hungry. food was sent by different warm-hearted people and even those who only grew flowers sent their flowers. they are food for the spirit, which comforted me a lot.next year, the garden writers association of america held their annual conference in anchorage and after learning of anchorages program, plant a row for beans became plant a row for the hungry. you can imagine how happy i was then.51. according to the passage, the reason why the author refused to give some money to the beggar probably is that _.a. he happened not to take money thenb. he wasnt fond of beggarsc. he thought that the beggar was lyingd. he didnt like being bothered52. why did the author cant help thinking of the beggar ?a. because he felt he had done wrong for his failure to help him.b. because he wanted to know whether the beggar had lied to him.c. because he was worried that the beggar might die from hunger.d. because some agencies, churches and charities should help the beggar.53. what does the underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 5 mean?a. remove clothes. b. leave suddenly. c. become successful.d. come into being.54. whats the correct order to record the authors launch of the program “plant a row for the hungry?” he ran into a beggar. he was regretful. he came up with the idea of planting a row for beans. the plant a row for beans became plant a row for the hungry. he went back home. writers gathered in anchorage.a. . b. . c. . d. .bit is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. we are, but were also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didnt even know about. a showerhead carries thousands of bacteria(细菌) called mycobacterium. these can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of being sick. when you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body. this is a finding of norman r. pace and his team at the university of colorado, in the us. paces team looked at 45 showerheads in nine american cities. they discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying mycobacterium. but pace said that they pose few threats to the healthonly those with a weak immune system might need to worryhe told the new york times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thoughthe said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morningbut for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms(微生物), he had some advice. let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. why? the number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. if that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months. however, pace had good news, too. he has also been testing the air in us subways. apart from iron particles(粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. the reason is that a trains movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels. 55. from the finding of norman r. pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because _.a. its easy to get a cold when taking a bath.b. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illnessc. we dont get cleaned while showeringd. we dont get a weak immune system56. we can learn from the third paragraph that _. a. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time b. the bacteria always threat peoples health when people have a shower c. people with strong immune system neednt fear microorganisms d. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower57. the underlined word “pose” in the third paragraph probably means “_”. a. give birth tob. take charge ofc. watch out ford. get away with58. what leads to fresh air in us subways? a. the trains movement.b. iron particles. c. train wheels.c. air conditioners on the trains.cwhen a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, i was one of the first to go out there and move my hand over it. i hadnt touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. i spent at least 20 minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. it was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand.over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. they stood around talking and taking turns touching the cat. these were guys you wouldnt usually find talking to each other. several times i saw an officer in the group, not driving people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting itthe cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. people said that the cat came to the right place. hes getting treated like a king. this was true, but as i watched i was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. there was a lot of talk about whats wrong with prisons in america. we need more programs. we need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. some may even talk about making prisons more kind. but i think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindnessnot receive it, but give it. after more than twenty years here, i know kindness is not a value thats encouraged. instead, its often seen as a weakness and the culture here encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.the cat did my heart good to see the effect that he had on me and the men here. by simply saying “i need some help here”, the cat did something important for us. he needed us and we needed to be needed. i believe we all do.59. from the passage, we can learn that the author was _.a. an animal protectorb. the owner of the catc. a prison officerd. a prisoner60. according the passage, we know that _.a. the cat was dirty because it was kept in prisonb. the officer in the prison enjoyed touching the catc. the prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birdsd. the author realised the importance of practising kindness61. we can infer from the third paragraph that _.a. showing love to others can make prisoners strongb. the american prison culture will be improvedc. the author is not satisfied with the prison cultured. caring for others is encouraged in american prisons62. what is the best title for the passage?a. caring makes us human.b. prison culture is important.c. animals need care.d. everyone needs to be cared for. dmany people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. sadly, they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. nothing could be further from the truth, though. in order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others.listen to your inner voice. remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. it is about time you started listening to it. in order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.learn to enjoy your own company. you will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.satisfy yourself. pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. no matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.learn to respect your own boundaries(分界线). find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. you are t
