It wouldnt be a problem, except some boys ask over and over just to be annoying. What do I do?Allison (by email)If youre sure that they are trying to be annoying, you might respond with something humorous.

One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video and Sam became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldnt have expected the response.“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sams mother, had an idea about Sam writing a childrens book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sams experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sams ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.Sams father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.“FedEx Ground learned about Sams pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, What a perfect way for us to get involved.”The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the childrens hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.25.

Honest and responsible.C. Unusual and confident. D. Friendly and brave.COn a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.28. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?A. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.B.

Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick-and-mortar stores to personally check on products that interest them, only to leave and then buy the items online. The new trend is forcing retailers to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store for cheaper prices online.Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S. shoppers have shown roomed previously, with big-box retailers suffering the most. Specifically, the study shows that Best Buy, Walmart and Target are the most likely brick-and-mortar stores to have shoppers test out a product in-store and then purchase it online later, while Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60 percent of shoppers using the online retail giant(巨人) most often to make their show rooming purchases.Smart phones have pushed show rooming into the front. Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if they can find a cheaper price for the products theyre considering buying. With smart phones, consumers can now compare virtual prices, at both other brick-and-mortar stores and online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what theyre seeking for less online, the majority will be seeking the first exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers shopping at brick-and-mortar stores walk out and buy their purchase online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an in-store experience worth staying for and an online presence that can attract shoppers who are show rooming in other businesses.To cut down on show rooming, many retailers are adopting new methods to keep shoppers in their stores. Among the steps theyre taking are price-matching guarantees that allow shoppers to pay a discounted price if they find it cheaper online. This ensures that even a show rooming shopper can make the purchase in the storeregardless of whether they find the cheaper price online.Another popular method to fight against show rooming is to give shoppers the ability to buy something online and pick it up at the store. This reduces shipping costs and gets customers in the store, where they may be encouraged to make an additional purchase.It is also important for businesses to take into consideration what makes shoppers purchase something in-store rather than online, and meet those needs. Research has found that more than 8 in 10 Americans consider being able to take the goods home immediately and the ability to touch and feel themthe most important aspects when deciding to purchase in a store rather than online.32.According to the passage, a show rooming shopper tends to _.A. pay for everything online B. purchase online for a lower priceC. rush to buy things in a storeD. have better bargaining skills33.What contributes to the growing popularity of show rooming?A. The advertisement by online retail giants.B. The competition between big stores.C. The wide use of smart phones.D. The decline of the brick-and-mortar stores .34.The underlined words “seeking the first exit” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _.A.leaving as soon as possibleB. searching for lower pricesC. locating the first exit quicklyD. making a purchase on the spot35.The last three paragraphs mainly talk about ways of _.A.advising shoppers to buy moreB. preventing purchase onlineC. satisfying customers needsD. increasing sales at stores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。Some Steps for Breaking Through Your Comfort ZoneA comfort zone is a self-imposed boundary where a person will refuse to push past.

The most common emotion they express is 41. And thats 42I came up with a project to encourage people to write a(n) 43letter to their loved ones. Its a lesson I learned years ago from a memorable 44patient.He was a retired 45 , who had believed in Semper Fi (永远忠诚) all his life. He, a proud and silent man, was 46 to the hospital for unbearable pain from cancer. Every day, his wife spent many hours at his bedside watching him watch TV. She explained to me he had never been much of a 47 in their 50 years of marriage.But he seemed quite 48to share his ideas with me, especially when it became clear his days were 49. He spoke of his deep regret for not having spent enough time with his wife, whom he loved very much, and of his great 50in his son, who had joined the army in his fathers footsteps.One afternoon, when I mentioned these 51to his wife and son, they looked disbelievingly at each other and then 52at me. They thanked me for being so kind but 53my patient was unlikely to express such feelings. To make sure his family could actually hear his 54, I took my huge fam
