I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mothers voice changed my worldLong before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskeys language-a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and her own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother, all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a readerYears later,I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big.What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, lets make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Lets have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2020 to honor this young boys wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day.Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.1.

Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday? Findings: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day. Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday? Findings: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day-half of the number doctors recommend. Step: We touch our faces around 3,000times 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 with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs? Findings: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should. Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?

The text probably comes from _.A. a guide book B. an official documentC. a book review D. a popular magazineCIt seems that everyone loves the fall. Why does it make everyone so excited?According to Kathryn Lively, professor of sociology at Dartmouth College, our fondness of the season is a social construct that starts when were children.“Were conditioned from a very early age that autumn comes with all these exciting things, Lively said.“As children, we come to associate the fall with going back to school, new school supplies, and seeing friends. Its exciting, for most. We still respond to his pattern that we experienced for eighteen years.”For children, starting a new school year means a fresh start. September, and by extension, the fall, becomes a time landmark.In fact, a team studying the relationship between time and motivation found that seasons have more importance than you might think. Much as physical landmarks help structure our representation of space, time landmarks such as birthdays and significant calendar dates structure our concept of time. These landmarks can also be huge behavioral motivators:“This fall I am really going to learn how to cook great soups because the kitchen is fun and Ill also save money,”you might say to yourself. Autumn just became a time landmarksummer you spent lots of money on food. By the spring, youre a new, responsible version of yourself. In this way, the time landmark allows us an opportunity to self-improve.Sociologically, our emotions are tied closely to the meaning that we make about ourselves, others, events and times of year. In other words, we associate football season or holidays like Thanksgiving and Rosh Hashannah with meaning, and cherishing (珍惜) those memories with people we love, we build an idea about what the fall comes to represent. Thus, we look forward to this season in a particularly special way.So if you cant wait to hit the ground running in the fall, its perfectly normal. It sounds like you were just raised that way.9. Why does the fall get everyone excited?A.It is a season of harvest.B.It is related to school holidays.C.It is a season just for children.D.It is associated with early good experiences.10. Why are Thanksgiving and Rosh Hashannah mentioned?A.To inform us of some foreign festival.B.To persuade people to cherish old memories.C.To show festival emotions connected with the fall.D.To know ourselves better.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A.People prefer to stay at home in the fall.B.Its natural to travel in the fall.C.The scenery in the fall is perfect.D.The sound of the fall is attractive.DLet me introduce myself. I am the last man in America who has time. If you should run into me on the street, I will have time to chat with you. If you invite me for tea, I will catch the opportunity and enjoy a cup. But it seems nobody else has time like me.When did people become so busy? Sometimes I think it happened when shopping, instead of being a necessity or occasional pleasure, became a form of entertainment. At other times I blame it on the computer, with honorary mention given to “smart”phones, for creating tastes that can never be satisfied, no matter how long we stare at the movable feast on the screen, no matter how fast we type with our fingers.It wasnt always like this.Sundays used to be days of rest, with closed stores and empty highways. And then there were the holidays, which were set aside for family time rather the trip to the mall.But now, I have grown accustomed to the predictability of the answer when I run into a friend and ask “How are you?” The answer always is “busy!”Recently I spotted an old friend and I called out to him. He stopped to recognize me, but I could tell from his body language and the checking of his watch that I had disturbed him. “I see you re in a hurry,” I said. “Why dont we get together to catch up?”“I should have a free hour in June,” he said before continuing on his way.“But this is March!” I remarked.“Check with me in a few months,” he yelled over his shoulder. “Im very busy!”Maybe not getting used to the busy life is my problem, but I agree with Socrates once said: “Beware(当心)the barreness(空洞) of a busy life.” Or Robert Frosts poem:“I could Give All to Time，” More recently there has been a so-called Slow Movement, which urges a cultural change toward slowing down lifes pace. I havent decided whether to join it or not , because I fear that, like any organization, it would cost me too much time.In any case, come June Ill have a friend to catch up with. That is, if he still has the time to see me.12. The first paragraph of the text is used to_.A. provide background information of the topic B. attract readers attention to the topicC. show readers the value of time D. introduce the author to readers13. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refers to_.A. shopping B. pleasureC. the fact that people have so much to do D. the fact that the author saves lots of time14. The author shows how busy people are by_.A. making assumptions B. providing an exampleC. listing well-known sayings D. presenting a predictable trend15. We can infer from the text that the author _.A. will be too busy to meet his friend in June B. is good at computers and smart phonesC. is willing to join the Slow Movement D. misses the lifestyle of the old days第二节 （共5小题; 每小题3分，满分15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。Helping a friend who is hurtingDont invite more emotion than you can handleDont invite emotional release unless you can stay with your friends while they experience their feelings. 1617Your friends will be telling you about some problem that has lots of emotion involved. Pay attention to the emotion, not the problem.If they are sad, show that you care about how bad it feels.

It goes hand in hand with positive attitude to life. It is known to us that attitude is everything. The long I live, the more I realized the effect attitude has on our life. On my view, attitude is more important than facts or the past, that we can not change. The only thing we can do is take in a positive attitude. After all,
