afternoon. i had a smile on my face as i sang along to the songs on the radio. it was such a beautiful day that i felt full of happiness. my good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. then suddenly i found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. i shook my head as i came to a red traffic light.as i pulled to a stop i noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. they were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. they looked rough and dangerous, but as i got closer i noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. i rolled down my window as one approached my car. “we are the brother of the wheel，” he said. “we are collecting money for christmas toy drive for needy children.” as i pulled a dollar out of my wallet i looked past his beard and into his eyes. they shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. i dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as i drove off. my good mood had returned. my faith in mankind had been bolstered. and i remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.our society often judges books by their covers but god reads what is written in our hearts and souls. perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much. 25. the writers good mood ended when _.ahe had to stop at a red traffic light bhe heard news between songs che saw four leatherjacketed bikers dhe heard a rich man broke the law26. what were the four bikers doing at the traffic lights?a. selling helmets to the passersby. b. having a bicycle race in the street.c. preparing for christmas holidays. d. raising money to help kids in need.27the writer wants to tell us that we should _.a. change our attitude to society b. manage to help others in needc. have faith in young people d. judge others by their actions c many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. i feel there are a number of reasons for this.some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. this has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. if there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.there is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. i agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. if children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.there is a third reason for this situation. children these days take very little exercise. they do not walk to school. when they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. what they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.the above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.28. according to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? a. those who often take exercise. b. those who often have meals at home. c. those who often watch television. d. those who often walk to school.29. the author thinks that children are becoming overweight because_.a. they can t choose what to eat b. there are too many fast food shops aroundc. they are too busy to go out and play d. their parents often cook meals for them30. the word steering underlined in the last sentence most probably means _. a. driving b. forcing c. guiding d. moving31. the main purpose of the text is to _. a. compare opinions b. give advice c. tell a story d. provide facts dmy teenage son karl became withdrawn(孤僻的) after his father died. as a single parent, i tried to do my best to talk to him. but the more i tried, the more he pulled away. when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. at this rate he would never graduate. i sent him to the school adviser, and i even begged him. nothing worked.one night i felt so powerless that i got down on my knees and pleaded（恳求） for help . “please god, i cant do anything more for my son. im at the end of my rope. im giving the whole thing up to you.”i was at work when i got a phone call. a man introduced himself as the headmaster. “i want to talk to you about karls absences.” before he could say another word, i choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “i love my son but i just dont know what to do. ive tried everything to get karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. its out of my hands. “for a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. the headmaster seriously said, “thank you for your time”, and hung up.karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. finally, he even made the honor roll .in his fourth year, i attended a parent-teacher meeting with karl. i noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. on our way home, he said, “mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” i nodded. “that was me. i thought id play a joke but when i heard what you said, it really hit me how much i was hurting you. thats when i knew i had to make you proud.”32by saying “karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and _ .a. began to dislike his mother b. lost interest in his studies c. preferred to stay alone at homed. refused to talk to others 33there was silence on the other end of the line because _ .a. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother b. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking c. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother d. the speaker didnt want the mother to recognize his voice 34the sentence “he even made the honor roll” means that “ _ ”.a. he was even on the list of the best students at school b. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves aroundc. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting d. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades 35what is the main idea of this passage?a. mothers love plays an important role in teenagers life.b. school education doesnt work without full support from parents.c. being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.d.
