monday morning, i had stopped at new york hospital when i spied a welldressed man dashing down the steps. he was hailing(招手) me. i waited until he jumped into the cab. “laguardia airport, please,” he said. as always, i wondered about my passenger. “what do you do?” “im in the neurology department (神经科) at this hospital.” for some unknown reason, i decided to ask for his help. “could i ask a favor of you?” he didnt answer. “i have a son, 16. hes doing well in school. he wants a job this summer. is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job?” after a pause, he said, “the medical students have a research project. maybe he could fit in. have him send me his school record.” he searched his pocket and handed me a card. that evening, i pulled the card from my pocket. “robbie,” i announced proudly, “this could be a summer job for you. send him your school card.” he read it out aloud: “fred plum, new york hospital.” “is this a joke?” he said in disbelief. after i yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning. two weeks later, when i arrived home, my son handed me a letter from plum. he was to phone plums secretary for an interview. robbie got the job. the white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. as high school graduation neared, plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. to our delight, robbie was admitted to new york medical college. it never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my sons future.21. who does the underlined phrase “a

daughter tamara that id like to copy the young mans idea for my upcoming 55th birthday in december. she agreed and so we decided to make it happen the next day. we wore clumsy reindeer antlers(鹿角) to make people smile, placed cheerful stickers on the shirts of children, cleaned up a park, and passed out delicious mexican hot chocolate to those in the parkmany of whom appeared homeless. at the end of the day, we passed out carnation flowers(康乃馨) in a retirement home after their dinner. at first, i found myself questioning my motivation and how it would be received. it turned out that the local unity church had a large group there at the same time singing to the people living in he home. at first, i was surprised how almost every man enjoyed receiving a flower, not only from tamara, but also from such an old man as me. then, i found myself giving the women longer caring hugs. one commented that she had not been hugged like that for years. then my heart was permanently touched when another woman told me that she had not been hugged like that by a man for five decades! i didnt count the number of kind acts we did that day, and neither do i count that birthday as one of the good ones. without doubt, i know it was my best.25. how did the author decide to celebrate his birthday?a. to go abroad for sightseeing.b. to perform some kind acts for others.c. to make some chocolate

best birthday ever. d. an unforgettable day.c people say a picture is worth a thousand words. a picture can show the essence(精髓) of something powerful more than any writer or poet. a picture is simple: its right there in front of you, completely unchanged. words can get lost in translation and taken out of context, their meaning confusing and misinterpreted. pictures arent just a mixture of colors printed on paper. they are something that can stir emotion(情感) inside of us. there are standard examples of the importance of pictures. according to the pew research center, an internet user is 7.4 times more likely to click on content if a picture is attached to it. branding and marketing experts carefully use colors and pictures to persuade us to buy certain products. but why are we drawn to these visuals? how do they hold so much power over us? psychologists explain that pictures help to easily convey four key things: expectations, emotion, motivation, and culture. all of four obviously hold a significant importance in daily human life. if you put a picture of a boy and his dog in front of you, me and ten other people, that picture will probably mean something different for everyone who sees it. in that sense, pictures arent just a snapshot(快门) of a single moment. they are farreaching reminders of memories both good and bad. they are catalysts(催化剂) for emotional reactions. they are powerful connections to something larger than yourself and they are visual representations of our inner desires and fears. im a writer; i love words. but even i can admit that in this digital age, a picture of a loved one means more to me that a text message. pictures can more directly represent this world that complicated words.29. a picture has an advantage over words because _?a. pictures are mixture of different colors b. pictures can relate to ones inner feelingsc. words are almost impossible to translate d. words are powerless if not used by writers30. what is the purpose of the second paragraph?a. to show many people are addicted to the internetb.to warn the customers not to be cheatedc. to prove the importance of a picture. d. to encourage us to buy products with pictures.31. the author probably agrees that _.a. people with different expectations interpret pictures similarlyb. people with bad childhood memories do not like picturesc. pictures mean the same to people from different culturesd. pictures should be used more often in this digital age32. what does the passage mainly tell us?a. pictures are much more powerful than words. b. pictures will take the place of words soon.c. the same picture brings different reactions to people.d. a picture will change peoples way of thinking.d rblood drive marrow（骨髓）registration“these
