I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said,“Need a jack (千斤顶）.”As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put $20 in the mans hand, but he wouldnt take it, so I went to give it to his wife quietly. I asked their little girl where they lived. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go home. After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子)for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled and said in English“Today you, tomorrow me. ” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back. This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly. Since then Ive helped many people like the Mexican family.

Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe? Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 times a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day - half of the number doctors advise. Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day - often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?

The text probably comes from_.A. a guide bookB. a popular magazine C. a book review D. a text bookCAn artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.Mr. Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.29.

An act of kindness has made people comfortable and grateful.31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. An artist creates homes for the homeless.B. A more comfortable shelter is built on the streets.C.

You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction(上瘾).For some people, smart phones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others, though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app Moment to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device(设备) and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.32. Whats the first paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of smart phones. B. The progress of modern technology.C. The signs of “always on” stress. D. The cause of smart phone addiction.33. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to_.A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. help people control their use of mobile phonesC. make people better use mobile phonesD. increase the fun of using mobile phones34. Whats Dr. Christine Grants attitude towards “always on” culture?A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.35. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means_.A. we will become less productive B. we can make a decision more quickly C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively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。If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a long way in improving it.
