Dannys dad was a truck driver, and he seldom went home; his mom was busy with her work. Born into a poor family, his parents couldnt provide him with
4、 a well-off living condition.Last month our school had a program that provided gloves for poor children. I put Danny s name on the list of the program. He was so happy when he received the gloves. He wore them almost everywhere and carefully put them in his desk when he came into the classroom. One
5、day, after school, I was tidying the desks and suddenly a glove fell out of Dannys desk. I opened his desk and found the other glove. The next day, when I asked him, he explained that the gloves were easily lost at home, so he didnt take them home.Danny studied hard. His best subject was painting. I
6、 knew he didnt have supplies for the painting class. So every time when he needed paper, I would give him. He was really a good artist, and I showed his several works to other students to improve his sense of worth.When the time for the Christmas gift exchange came, Danny was shy in the corner, so I
7、 was pretty sure he couldnt bring anything to me. The day of the Christmas party was always exciting. Danny asked me if he could have a piece of red paper. I gave it to him gladly. Later when I went back to my desk, I found a folded piece of red paper. I opened it up and read it. The note said, “To
8、my favorite teacher Mr. Miller. You have always been here for me,and I really enjoy it. I cant afford to get you anything, so I am giving you everything I have. Merry Christmas! Love,Danny.” I was too happy to say anything.11.Why did Danny put the gloves in his desk?A.He didnt like the color of them
9、.B.He forgot to place them at home.C.He was afraid of losing them.D.He was too shy to wear them.12.According to the text, the author _.A.took Danny as his best friendB.provided paper and money for DannyC.encouraged Danny to be a good artistD.made Danny confident in himself13.According to the text, t
10、he author thought.A.Danny couldnt send him anything as a giftB.Danny would be too shy to make a presentC.Danny didnt know to exchange gifts with other studentsD.Danny would make a gift card for the whole classBWhen I was 20, I first came to London seeking shelter on my own. After three weeks in Lond
11、on, the Home Office moved me to Leicester. There, I had to live with about 200 people in a small hotel. I knew nobody there, so it was very important for me to establish some friendships. Luckily, I made many good friends there.I needed those friends more than ever when I received refugee status (难民
12、身份)and could legally stay in the UK. I should have been happy, but I found myself homeless and broke. At that time, the Home Office kicked me out of my living place, because my financial support stopped. Fortunately, my new friends helped me out. Not only did they offer a couch to sleep on at times,
13、 they also pointed me towards the British Red Cross. The Red Cross helped me with food and clothing. They guided me through the process, so I could get back on my feet.With the help of the Red Cross, my situation improved slowly and I went on to study law and human limits at university. Then I decid
14、ed to do something to thank the Red Cross, so I started volunteering for it. I helped with everything from fundraising (筹款)to finding people in wheelchairs. I also gave out food parcels and other supplies during the 2007 floods in Gloucestershire.After leaving university, I was offered a job by the
15、Red Cross because of what I had done for it at university. Now I no longer need to look for shelter. I have got married and have a happy family of three. The Red Cross helped me out. And now as a member of it, every day I cant wait to help those who need help.14.When the author first arrived in Lond

18、lifeD.helped people during the 2007 floods in GloucestershireCWhen we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message
19、. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.There is a terrible fact that almost every teenager sends 50 to 100 messages a daysome as many as 300, and that 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much or more slee
20、p than they get as children, which is between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they dont get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.Recently, we adopted a “check in at tuck in”(盖被子时交手
21、机)rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we “tuck in” our children for the night, they must “check in” their phones. We will probably bargain like this:“But I use it for my alarm clock.”“Ill wake you up.”“My friends might need me.” “If there
22、is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and Ill wake you up.”A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friends house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. “I guess I should check this in now,since you wont be there to tuck me in tonight .Ill call you from Ellies phone if I ne
23、ed you.”18.The writer writes the first paragraph to_.A.show the writer s family lifeB.lead to the topic of the passageC.advise to buy cell phones for childrenD.introduce the writers two daughters19.The cell phones were bought for children in the hope of_.A.controlling their online behaviorB.helping
24、them work hard through the InternetC.replacing alarm clocks with cell phonesD.keeping in touch if something urgent happened20.Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?A.Being very emotional.B.Feeling very hungry.C.Being easy to have flu.D.Putting on more weight.21.From the last paragrap
25、h, we can learn that_.A.the writers daughters no longer use phonesB.the writer won the “battle” with his / her daughtersC.the writer gave up his / her “check in at tuck in” ruleD.the writers daughters decide to move out of homeDDo you want to have a body that can support you well into your old age?
26、Here are three things that you should do. Physical activity is essential to healthy living. The body was meant to move, and when it does not, it will become ill.Physical activity improves circulation (循环)to our heart and lungs. It increases the mobility in our muscles and joints. Physical activity a
27、lso releases endorphins (内啡肽)- the feel-good hormones that create a sense of general well-being. Physical activity is good for body and mind. Therefore, you should spend more time exercising.Have you ever heard of the saying “You are what you eat” or “Garbage in garbage out”? Well,it is true. What y
28、ou put into your body directly affects how you feel physically, your mood, and even your skin. Eating healthily does not mean eating expensive foods with little taste. As a matter of fact, there are some fantastic health recipes (食谱)online and in cookbooks that are very healthy. Basically, you want
29、to aim for a diet that is low in salt, fat and high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also good to take vitamins to ensure that you are meeting your nutrient requirements.We have to get rid of all the stress. Stress happens when your life becomes out of balance physi
30、cally, mentally or emotionally. This imbalance can be caused by internal stress like worrying too much, environmental stress like pressure from work, family or friends, or by stress from being tired. Being stressed out has the potential to affect your health in a variety of ways. You can become tire
31、d, sick, tense, and unable to think clearly. If you want to live a healthy life, you will need to manage the stress in your life so that it cannot overtake you.22.It can be learned that endorphins released in your body can_.A.improve your moodB.build up your musclesC.increase the mobility in your jo
