had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“things arent always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “when we stayed in the basement，i noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，i asked god if i could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldnt find it. then last night as we slept in the farmers

the united states, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.asians are immigrating (移民) to canada and the united states in larger numbers than ever before. most asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. in asia, especially in china, japan, and korea, it is difficult to go to university. students must first pass the strict national examination. however, in canada and the united states, it is easyto go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. as a result, asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.the problem is that when asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west than in the east. also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. for these two reasons, most asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the west. therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.28. some asian parents send their kids abroad because _.a. they hope their children may easily find a job thereb. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesc. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesd. the kids want to improve their english and make foreign friends29. “satellite kids” refer to asian kids_.a. without parentsb. speaking no english c. with university educationd. living abroad alone.30. some asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents _.a. want to leave their own country b. want them to go to universityc. return to their countries to work d. want them to be independent31. what is the main idea of the passage?a. parents want better education for their kids.b. parents feel lonely and miss their families.c. kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.d. canadians and americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problemdwe all eat when we are not hungry. if we stopped eating when we were full, we would be thin, and chefs would have to find other jobs. you may be tempted to eat when you are bored, tired, angry or simply sitting in front of food that you feel like putting in your mouth. dont give in, the diet plans warn. or, if you must eat, then eat only food that is so unappealing or unsatisfying that it is not worth the effort.it is as important for the sake of losing weight as understanding why there are times when it is extremely important to eat, however, even when there is plenty of food in your stomach .if you find yourself unable to resist snacking and give in and eat a sweet or snack, dont blame your lack of willpower. your brain is making you do this.this request for carbohydrates , for sweet or starchy ( 富含淀粉的) food is a signal that an important brain chemical needs to be made . this chemical is serotonin （血管收缩素）its production depends on what you eat or dont eat . when you eat carbohydrates (apart from the carbohydrates in fruit), serotonin is made. when you eat protein, serotonin is not made.some of us have brains that dont make enough serotonin to last all day, and by late afternoon, we feel the effects of too little of this chemical. we become bored, have difficulty concentrating, lose patience with things that annoy us, and feel tired. therefore, more serotonin is needed. a food scientist said. “we found out years ago in our research that, at moments like this, the brain sends out a signal saying eat some crabs. if we pay attention to this message and eat a bar of chocolate or cake, as soon as the snack is digested, serotonin is made and we feel better.” 32. what does the underlined sentence “dont give in” in the first paragraph mean?a. dont stop eating when you are full. b. dont eat when you are not hungry.c. eat a little more when the stomach is full. d. you would be thin if you ate less.33. more serotonin is made when a person _. a .drinks some milk b. eats an apple c. eats some fish d. eats chocolate 34. which of the following will not be affected if theres not enough serotonin? a. weight b. patience c. concentration d. energy 35. what would be the best title for the text?a. how people lose weight? b. what should we eat when we are bored? c. why do we eat when we are not hungry? d. why do people need to eat?第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)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。tips for a happier workplaceyou dont have to be
