| It was a warm March evening, and I'd just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home. It was nearly 6:00 PM, but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no 1 that he intended to start the bus. A middle-aged woman took a seat opposite me. She was crying. Not speaking to anyone in particular, she 2 narrated her story. She had come to the city to visit her daughter. On the way to the terminal, a thief had 3 one of her bags. It had contained half of the money she'd brought with her. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she 4 still had some money left. The bus conductor, driver, and other passengers listened to her tale. At this time, an old man 5 got on the bus. He sat in the seat directly in front of the woman. After a few minutes, all seats were 6 . The driver got behind the wheel and started the engine. The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were 7 . When he came to the old man's seat, he became 8 and asked the old man Whether he had any money. The old man 9 that he did not. He explained that he 10 all his money this morning when he'd accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home. Upon heating this, the bus conductor 11 the old man to get off the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus 12 he could get home before dark. The bus driver approached the old man, and repeated the conductor's 13 to get off the bus. "Stop troubling him! Can't you see he's only trying to get home?" she interfered. "He doesn't have any money!" the driver shouted. "Well, that's no 14 to throw him off the bus," she insisted. Then she said, "How much is his fare?" The bus conductor mumbled the amount. "Fine," said the woman. She 15 inside her blouse, took out her 16 money, and handed the fares to the bus conductor. "Here's his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a hard time." All eyes turned 17 the woman, who, just minutes before, had been crying over the money she'd lost. "It's only money," she shrugged. By the time the bus rolled out of the terminal, she had given the old man bread and a dollar. She rode the rest of the way home 18 a Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace, and the money she'd lost 19 was forgotten. On the road of life, the politeness and smiles of 20 can lighten our loads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others! | ||||

| You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved. "There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed. " says a psychologist. "The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them. " Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. ● Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most competent (有能力的) person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ● What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ● No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public. "If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, 'It looks like we should do something. ' Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you." |
| 1. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others? |
| A. I'm not the very person capable of settling the problem. B. It looks like we should do something. C. It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned. D. He doesn't really need my help. |
| 2. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? |
| A. They will call for help and then walk away. B. They will stop and offer help. C. They will turn away their eyes and goon walking. D. They will laugh at him. |
| 3. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, _____. |
| A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow D. we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility |
| 4. In order to offer others your timely help, you need to _____. |
| A. ask others for help and call the police B. get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble C. go directly to the police station D. work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help |
| 5. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____. |
| A. to give others a hand B. to be more competent C. not to risk looking foolish D. to stop and evaluate the situation |

| Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do? A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs. Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were astonishing. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up. More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them. This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school. Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said:"People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too. "If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks." And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67％. The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year. |
| 1. What causes children in the UK to be obese? |
| A. Eating ready meal. B. Watching TV. C. Doing Internet shopping. D. Being lazy. |
| 2. What can be inferred from the passage? |
| A. British people are too lazy to do anything. B. Internet shopping will do harm to your health. C. Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain. D. People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit. |
| 3. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage? |
| A. One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV. B. People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit. C. Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer. D. More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago. |
| 4. What does the underlined word "rudimentary" (in the eighth paragraph) most probably mean? |
| A. basic B. serious C. vital D. hard |
| 5. All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except _____. |
| A. Glasgow B. Birmingham C. Nuffield D. Southampton |

| A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office at Millwood High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher, not his cell phone. The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr. Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap. He was texting while being scolded for texting."It was a subconscious act," says Mr. Gallagher, who took the phone away."Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night. It's compulsive." A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, found that the more time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more socialable, but they are also more likely to be anxious, hostile or depressed. (Doctors, meanwhile, are now blaming addictions to 'night texting' for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.) Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit.group that monitors media's impact on families. Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers come to see texting and social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday? Think back. When today's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans. In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired. It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and- forth texting that defines interactions among young people today. Educators are also being asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. "In past generations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are adept at texting with their phones still in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, the vice principal, "and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fun-damentally different today. They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones." |
| 1. The underlined word "a subconscious act" refers to an act _____. |
| A. on purpose B. without realization C. in secret D. with care |
| 2. Young people addicted to the use of Facebook _____. |
| A. are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study B. have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work C. have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits D. are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect |
| 3. Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s, it can be inferred that _____. |
| A. the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages B. a cell phone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people C. the employers prefer older workers to young people D. the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people |
| 4. Mr. Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those today _____. |
| A. like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages B. are always the big problem for the educators and their parents C. like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way D. cannot live without a cell phone |
| 5. What's the best title of the passage? |
| A. Teenagers and Cell Phones B. Teenagers' Texting Addiction C. Employers and Teenagers D. Teenagers' Education |

| Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the 'wash up'. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back. At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world. Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called "wash-up" earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum. As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will"find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school." The UK has been in the worst financial recession (衰退) for generations. It does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents. |
| 1. The passage is mainly about _____. |
| A. how to manage school lessons B. how to deal with the financial crisis C. teaching young people about money D. teaching students how to study effectively |
| 2. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that _____. |
| A. the author complains about the school education B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract C. students have been taught to manage their finances D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out |
| 3. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _____. |
| A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money B. promote the connection of schools and families C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education |
| 4. According to Pfeg, _____. |
| A. it is easy to keep good habits long B. teenagers spend their money as planned C. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids D. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone |
| 5. A poll is mentioned to _____. |
| A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform B. show the seriousness of the financial recession C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal |
