27、匿名的) guest. Its this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbors snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as
28、paying the bill, youll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank youJust a simple thank-you can make somebodys day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate（培养）a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.Use your talents to help the c

Try Lettrs! This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet.Lettrs, a ne
34、w site, is attempting to bring back the old-fashioned idea of letter writing by providing a space that feels a little bit like a writing desk. Of course, therell be purists who say that to truly enjoy letter writing you must do it on fancy letter paper and envelope in the mail is part of the fun. An
35、d if youre into that sort of thing, go for it. But I cant be the only one who is now so much faster at typing that writing by hand is painfully slow. Nor can I be the only one who likes to write on a whim (一时兴起) when Im going to be on a crowded train or airplane, both of which are situations where w
36、riting on the computer is far easier.The site tries, pretty seriously, to approximate(接近) what its like to have your very own writing desk and paper to choose from (which comes in various prints and colors) as well as corresponding（通信） types of prints and cursive writing (草写体) that come out on your
37、screen as you write. Theres also a “desk drawer” for letters youve already sent, a “fridge” to post letters publicly, a “kitchen counter” for letters you have just received, and “shoebox” to store your letters in.And if you need inspiration there are even old-style letters that are great examples of
38、 the kind of correspondence people used to send. Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and its free! ) with the nice parts of a letterthe sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a me

42、ntages of letter writing.D. The development of letter writing.CThe murmur of the audience had just faded into expectant silence. This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKees life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she
43、 was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart.Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasioneveryone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who
44、couldnt be in that audience that nighther mum and dad.Patricias mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any diffe
45、rent for her?Still, Patricia couldnt help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldnt really understand the deep pain in her mothers respo
46、nse: “Ill try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.”Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face!T
47、his powerful image remains one of Patricias most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy（遗产）theyve left us: when someone rea
48、lly needs you, be there for them.61. Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness？A. She had no chance to watch the concert.B. She performed unsuccessfully at the concert.C.

51、big occasion in school.D. A secret wish.DParents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a childs allowance to chores can be a slippery slope. Heres why. Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Hom
52、e advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilitiesthats a whole different thing.” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids arent doing a chore, you dont say, well, there goes your allowance. Youre going to sit them do
53、wn and ask whats going on. We are a team. We are a family. Weve got to have them done.” Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, youll also be sending the message that work isnt worth doing unless theyre getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for c
54、hores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that its a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garageespecially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even
55、develop an entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children wont learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isnt tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a stra
56、ight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9. “Its up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy n
57、ow, or save and get the better toy.” And thats a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.66. Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with? A. A childs allowance
58、 shouldnt be tied to chores. B. Kids shouldnt be forced to do chores. C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D. Kids should be paid for doing chores.67. According to Susie Walton, if kids dont do chores, parents should _. A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B. talk to them about family
59、 responsibilities. C. give them a smaller allowance than usual D. punish them by not giving them their allowances68. In Paragraph 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “_”. A. money given by charity organizations B. money earned by doing part-time jobs. C. money earned by doing everyday household
60、 chores D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores69. What is the authors attitude towards Kevins action? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Unfavorable.70. The text is mainly about _. A. the importance of kids doing chores B. whether parents should pay kids for chores C. the advan
61、tages of kids handling their own money D. whether parents should give kids regular allowances第卷（非选择题，共35分）注意事项：用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节: 阅读表达(共5小题，每题2分，满分10分)。阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Steve Jobs was born on Febuary24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, his unmarried mother deci
