It 37 to be someone you have never 38_ those words to before or at least havent shared those words with for a long time.” That doesnt 39 like a very tough assignment, 40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done. 42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44_ what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the _45_ to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didnt feel that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I _51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one. We 53_ seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But 54 then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last Tuesday, 55 I got home, I had convinced myself.

Last night we were out for diner together after doing some fun things. We talked about some of her kind activities she did at school for their 100 Acts of Kindness challenge her class had. It was great to listen to the little things she and her classmates did to spread kindness. Many times on our date night we try to do an act of our own, as she is often my sidekick（伙伴）on our kindness adventures. My later smile card is one about anonymously (匿名地) buying a strangers meal so I asked Rachel if we should find someone in the restaurant and buy their dinner. She loved the idea so we chose an older couple sitting behind us. I had a few Smile Cards on me (as always!) so we separately told our server our plan. He was new and wasnt sure how to do it but said he would go and find out. When he dropped off the checks, she smiled at us and told us he would give them the Smile Cards and that the world needed more people like us. Rachel got the biggest smile on her face when he said that to her and I love that he helped remind her that kindness matters. My daughter normally likes to stay and watch the reactions of our kindness “victims” but we had to get going.When we got home she was so excited to tell her Mom about what we did. My wife told Rachel how nice that was and how it would spread many smiles with the server, his manager, the couple and anyone else they told about the experience. We love any ripple of kindness we can send out into the world and Im sure we made the couple smile with that one last night!56. What do Father and Rachel do at least once a month?A.

Friendship on a Father-Daughter Date NightD. Spreading Smiles on a Father-Daughter Date NightBOne morning there was a massage on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining about her lack of service-service that had been stopped because her check had bounced. (拒付)As it is my job to handle payments received, it was my duty to collect the check. As is often the case when a check bounces, I soon found that this womans phone number was no longer in service. A check of the caller L.D told us the call had come from the managers office of the apartment building where our customer lived. We left a message with the manager and within the hour our call was returned.I told our customer gently, sympathetically that a check she had written had been returned for lack of funds. I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the bank charge can cause more checks to be returned and more fees to be charged. I told her I hope she could contact the bank and get things straightened out before her problem got worse. I also told her, gently once more, that I hated to add to her problem but she would owe us a fee because the bank charges us a fee when a check is returned. She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health. She told me she had no children but had raised several that belonged to her husband and after living with him thirty years he had left her for another woman. Finally, after she had promised to pay, I told her not only do I care about her situation, but she taught me something. When a person is angry, there may be reasons you dont know about. If you dont react with anger, you may learn what the real problem is and may in some way be able to help, if only with a little sympathy.60. Why did the author try to call the woman?A.

By finding her apartmentC. By leaving a message D. By contacting the bank62. What can we learn from the passage?A. The womans husband passed away and left several children for herB. The woman had to pay the check as well as a fee for the returned checkC. The author will help the woman overcome her difficulties by paying for herD. The check written by the woman had been returned because of the wrong number63. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem B. To present a research resultC. To tell an interesting story D. To conclude a lesson CIt is unlawful for an employer to publish a discriminatory advertisement.How to identify a discriminatory(歧视的) advertisement: It must be read as a whole, and account must be taken not only of the words, but also of the pictures that it uses. Job titles that have sexual connotations（内涵） mean an intention to discriminate on the grounds of sex.Example 1 A notice in a restaurant window states: “Waiters required”. The word “waiters” has a male, not a female, connotation. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement and does not specify that the jobs are open to men and women.Example 2 A medical clinic places an advertisement for a nurse with a photograph of a female nurse. Nursing is an occupation that is traditionally associated with women. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement. Good practice checklist:Advertise widely so that as many suitably qualified people as possible have an opportunity to apply. Do not publish job advertisements in locations or publications where they are likely to be read wholly or mainly by people who share a particular community background, sex, race, disability, or age.Use language which is clear and simple and do not use abstract words. For example, when describing the working environment or the characteristics of desirable employees, do not use words like young, mature or energetic.Where possible, do not use job titles which have a male or female connotation. For example, do not use the following words- Waiter / waitress salesman / salesgirl postman manageress foremanstoreman matron chairman/ chairwoman head master/ mistress Instead, where possible, use job titles that have gender-neutral connotation, For example, the following words are appropriate- waiting staff sales assistant postal worker manager stores person supervisor chairperson nurse manager head teacher64. When trying to identify what might be a discriminatory advertisement, we should pay attention to its_.A length and words B. length and pictures C. words and pictures D. style and words 65. From the two examples, we know that _.A. nowadays, restaurants prefer male to female workersB. the job title is one of the most important factors in an advertisementC. the traditional view that a nurse should be female is wrong.D. advertisements for medical clinics shouldnt have photographs66. If you want to place an advertisement for a designer, you should publish it in _.A. Entertainment Weekly B. Titan Sports C. Southern Weekend D. Shanghai lawyerDScientists are using a kind of eye-tracking equipment to learn how babies look at the world. In the lab, children 5 months and older crawl (爬行) and walk up, down and over adjustable wooden slopes (斜坡), gaps and steps.It may seem like the set for a new reality television show, but there are no prizes, except perhaps for the researchers. They hope to understand what makes one child respond to another, how babies adjust their look to their hands and feet to handle objects, and how these very young children adapt to changes.The findings provided by these eye-trackers suggest that babies may be more capable of understanding and acting on what they see than had been thought. “Quick looks at their mothers faces may be all they need to get the information they want. They seem to be surprisingly efficient,” said John Franchak who studies psychology at New York University.Although sight might largely seem effortless to us, in reality we actively choose what we look at, making about two to four eye movements every second for some 150,000 motions (运动) daily, said Karen Adolph, also a developmental psychologist at N.Y.U. “Sight is not passive,” she said. “We actively adjust our eye movements to the motions of our hands and bodies.”Eye-tracking studies have existed for more than a century, but the instruments involved were typically desk machines. The wearable eye-trackers that Dr. Adolph, Mr. Franchak and their colleagues use are based on equipment developed over the last decade by Positive Science, a New York company, with money from the United States Naval Research Laboratory. They were designed to help scientists. Eye-trackers are currently being
