Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”Afterwards the teacher told the students to do a class project to see what k
14、ind of impact recognition would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgement ceremony. One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career plan
15、ning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and told him what it was all about.Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a bad-tempered fellow. He sat his boss down and he told him that
16、 he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.”The junior manager took the blue ribbon and placed it right
17、on his bosss jacket above his heart. Then he gave him the last extra ribbon, and repeated what the boy had told him.That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office when one of the junior managers came
18、 in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Then he put this blue ribbon that says Who I Am Makes A Difference on my jacket. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I
19、 would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you.

20、 to me. Youre a great kid and I love you!”The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldnt stop crying.

24、 Juvenile Suicide BThe day my fianc fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadnt fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched
25、it pile up. One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My
26、 first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didnt have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someones walk.Before Jons death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did
27、was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasnt easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldnt even help them set the table. “Im not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “
28、Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the h
29、ardest work you will ever do.”In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing ones worst fear and walking away whole. 25. What made the author feel sad?A. Her fiancs sudden death. B. Constant heavy snow. C. Her fianc
30、abandoning her. D. Her job being refused again. 26. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?A. Surprised. B. Angry. C. Ashamed. D. Moved. 27. It is _ that helped the author out of darkness. A. herself B. her friends C. her fianc D. a snowplow28. Whats the authors purpose
31、in the passage?A. To talk about her hardest work in her life. B. To talk about her real love between her and her fianc.C. To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely. D. To tell us the importance of friendship. CHer frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could
32、feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her. Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed at her arms, causing her pain, but she didnt mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in
33、 Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe. She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually. As a
34、 child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box had caught her eye. Five whole nickels had brought her that candle. She gave it to her mother for Mothers Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “Its very pretty, honey! I will put it right
35、 here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced. By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satis
36、fying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her fe
37、el any better. No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound. She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at
38、the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took o
39、ut a shiny object. She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, m
40、aking her way toward him. And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise
41、and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.29. The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to _.A. keep herself from the coldB. wait for the boy to comeC. want to be left aloneD. seek safety from any hurt30. From the story, we can learn that _.A. the girl suffered a lot in her lifeB. the girls p
42、arents divorced because of herC. teachers and friends treated the girl badlyD. the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad31. The underlined word “it” in the story refers to _. A. leaning back against the branchB. being alone in the worldC. not being disturbed at nightD. it being dark with sn
43、ow around32. From the end of the story, it can be known that the girl _.A. knew the personB. knew what the object wasC. realized her wishesD. would never feel alone any more DIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to
44、 take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was a
45、bout. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant
46、 visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left
47、hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head whe
48、n offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting, talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand,
49、however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done. Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening ente
50、rtainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage? A. In Eur
51、ope, using the left hand is considered less respected.B. In India, the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others. C. In Thailand, youd better cross your legs when sitting or talking. D. In Japan, it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult.34. The underlined sentence “Noddi
52、ng your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty” means in Bulgaria _.A. you are probably thirsty if you nod your headB. youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your headC. you probably refuse to drink when you nod your headD. youd like to have a cup of tea becaus
53、e you nod your head35. We can infer from the passage that _.A. in Asian countries, women are equal to men in every fieldB. learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad C. attitudes to women vary from country to countryD. in Japan, men are still the centre of the familyAADDD ADDDB CAACB CDACAA ACBC DABA BCD
