I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didnt change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.Still, I didnt give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.Carolyn Arends wrote: The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing. So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.24.

He was concerned about his family.25. What did the author realize after he suffered in life?A. Spoiled people cant survive the hardship of life. B. Life is cruel to spoiled people.C. Spoiled people are never happy in life. D. Selfishness is helpful.26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author loved kids. B. The author often fed his baby.C. The author realized the importance of happiness.D. When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.27. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Loving Others , a Way to Happiness B. The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets.C. Help Others , Help Oneself D. Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life CWhen you finish your day at school, you probably rush to your dormitory or home as quickly as possible. But for some people, their day begins in the middle of the night.Welcome to the interesting world of “the Master”, the owner of a small restaurant located in a busy district that only opens from midnight to 7 am.Earlier this month, Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai announced that he had directed and starred as the Master in a remake of Japanese director Joji Matsuokas famous comedy Midnight Diner. The new movie is expected to come out in Chinese mainland cinemas later this year.While serving regular soup every night, the Master is also willing to make customized (定制的) dishes if his customers ask. Besides its delicious food, what makes this eatery special is that its a place of sanctuary and togetherness.Midnight is often when worries, loneliness, and sadness creep up on people, and midnight diner provides the simple comforts of food and drink, and more importantly, a warm place where people can keep each other company, talk, and share their stories. The customers stories cover everything, from problems at work to parenthood, romance, friendship, and the regrets of a wasted life. Listening to their stories, customers offer encouragement and advice to one another. But the Master only provides the life lesson- a good day must follow a bad one-when necessary.Despite facing different kinds of disappointment, people need to find their own satisfaction in their seemingly messy lives. “The small pleasure can be a good hot-pot meal,” Japanese culture website JapanP noted. “Its easy to lose sight of what gives life meaning as we go about the daily routine of work and home life.”After all, no one is flawless and no ones life is perfect, but imperfections are the space where possibilities live. As Kelly Mcneils, author of Your Messy Brilliance, wrote, “ The good, the bad, and the ugly, they are our greatest assets because they include every single part of ourselves and leave nothing out-and when we fully embrace all parts of ourselves, we discover our true power.”28.

Potentials can only be found in our imperfections. DResearchers say public mistrust of vaccines(疫苗) is causing diseases like measles (麻疹) and yellow fever to spread. The scientists said the lower levels of trust can lead to people refusing vaccines. This, in turn, can cause diseases to spread quickly, they warned.But the researchers said they also found a high level of support worldwide for vaccinating children against disease.The researchers questioned 66,000 people in 67 countries to discover their ideas on whether vaccines are important, safe and effective. The survey showed people in Southeast Asia had the highest level of trust in vaccines. Africa showed the second highest level of confidence. Europeans showed the lowest level of confidence in vaccines. In France, 41 percent of the population questioned the safety of vaccines.Heidi Larson is with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She says recent media reports of problems involving vaccines have hurt public confidence in France. Larson noted that many Europeans worried about reports of possible links between hepatitis B vaccines (乙型肝炎疫苗) and the disease multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症). But she said scientists found no linkage between the two. Mistrust in France was also driven by public reaction to the H1N1 influenza(甲型H1N1流感) outbreak fears in 2009. The French government spent $1.4 billion on 94 million doses of the vaccine. The majority were sold or destroyed.The findings come as a major yellow fever vaccination program has been launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. The disease has already killed hundreds of people in the area. The World Health Organization aims to vaccinate over 15 million people in both countries. “If everyone agrees to be vaccinated, we can remove yellow fever from our country,” said Mosala Mireille, one of the doctors directing the program.32The author develops the Paragraph 1 mainly _.A. by telling experiences B. by giving instructionsC. by offering descriptions D. by analyzing cause and effect33The underlined words “The disease” in the last paragraph probably refer to _.A. measles B. yellow fever C.

Expectant B. Skeptical C. Critical D.
