9、 my childhood, the years 18 many interesting things happened. When I was a two-year-old child, both my parents were always very busy with their work. My mother worked 19 a sales manager in a company while my father served in 20 army. So I lived with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for
10、my parents at home. Once my father 21 (send) us a photo of his in a soldiers uniform, 22 was posted on the table reminding me of him. Once my mother came to see me and we went 23 (shop) together.

12、ty. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion (热情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and w
13、omen willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are
14、for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mounta
15、ineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend
16、, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skie
17、r is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and l
18、ess waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. Whats the meaning of “leisure” in Paragraph 2? A. spare time B. rest C. entertainmentD. enjoyment27. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _.A. it is an Olympic event B. mountaineers depend on each other while climbi
19、ng C. teams compete against each otherD. there are five climbers on each team28. Why are many people attracted by mountaineering? A. Because they doesnt have to be restricted(限制) by rules while climbing.B. Because they can improve their skill when they are on a rock face.C. Because they can learn to
20、 fight the forces of nature while climbing.D. Because they can enjoy a lot of fun while climbing.29. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. people show interest in mountaineering because it is a team gameB. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber w
21、ould pass his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of sixty to climb the Alps30. What is the passage mainly about? A. Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football.B. Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other SportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain ClimberBForgiving (原谅) some
22、one who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show tha
23、t something like anger can change your well-being (幸福).When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgi
24、veness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred(仇恨) can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression(抑郁). They also have f
25、ewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesnt matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry
26、 with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Instead, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. 31. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear_.A. by raising his own examplesB. based on his own expe
27、rienceC. by mentioning some studies D. by mentioning some typical patients32.

31、aited for a call back, but her phone did not ring. She sat on the bench, holding her phone.She was definitely uneasy. Her mother was very ill and was in hospital. She was looking around, looking for a phone loading station, but since it was already late, the stalls (货摊)were already closed. She had n
32、o choice but to wait till the train came and wait till she got home.A young lady in her late 20s approached her. She was very sincere. She asked what was wrong. Thea looked at the strangers eyes and said “nothing”. But the other lady was just so sincere and wanted to help. She took out her cell phon
33、e from her shoulder bag and handed it to Thea. The helpful lady said, “Heres my phone; it has extra loads; you can make a call.”“Is it OK? ” asked Thea. “Yeah,” she said, looking directly into her eyes. Then Thea, in a very shy manner, slowly dialed a number and talked with someone on the phone. A s
34、mile was on her face. “Thank you so much; you took my worries away.” “You are welcome; I am glad that I can give you a hand. ”In fact, kindness can be shared at any time in any place.36.

39、layer, other people cant hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldnt turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn y
40、our MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools dont allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that dont have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesnt make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a m
41、ovie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while its okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one ear
42、phone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening.
