         The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm (热情) as a tourist in Washington D.C., so I entered the
    nearest restaurant for warmth. I ordered a coffee, and began observing people.
         At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the
    delicious food. His tired body and worn clothes shouted, "Homeless, homeless!"
         "How long has it been since he ate last time?" I wondered. I expected him to approach me for a
    handout (施舍物). But he never did. A silent war broke out in my head-one side was telling me to mind
    my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.
         While my inner debate moved on, a well-dressed young couple walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir,
    "the husband began. "We just finished eating, and our appetites (胃口) weren't as big as we had thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?" He gave the man some food.
    "Thank you. Merry Christmas!" the man replied. The man carefully watched his new food, and was about
    to eat.
         Something that happened next shocked me. An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes
    entered the hall and walked towards us. My neighbor saw the situation. Setting aside his meal, he stood
    up and guided the old man to the table.
         "Hi, my name is Jack," he said, "and one kind person brought me this meal. I just finished eating and
    hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?" The old man answered gratefully, "Sure, but only if you
    go halfway with me on that sandwich."
         I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.
    1.The author entered the nearest restaurant to         .
    A. escape the coldness outside
    B .taste the delicious coffee
    C. relax as a tourist
    D. enjoy watching other people
    2. What can we learn about the old man according to the text? 
    A. He accepted the food given by the kind couple.
    B. He felt ashamed because of his own appearance.
    C. He expressed thanks to Jack after being helped by him.
    D. He had known Jack before he entered the restaurant.
    3. It can be inferred from the text that          .
    A. the young couple always wasted food in the restaurant
    B. the old man accepted all the food given by Jack
    C. Jack was disappointed that the author didn't help him
    D. Jack gave the food to the old man though he was still hungry
    4. What can be the best title of the text?

         Car sharing is another way to drive green which is gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas.
    People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends
    benefit most from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are
    nonprofit (非营利的) and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to
    an entire fleet (队)of cars when they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so
    members only need to make a reservation (预订), and then go to the pickup spot.
         Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.
    Members don't drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don't need a car, they
    don't use one. Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick
    someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having
    access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership. They usually don't have to pay for the gas,
    insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So
    if you really want to go green but aren't ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to
    go.
         If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
    1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing         .
    A. has become the most popular way to go to work
    B. has become the best way to cut living costs
    C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
    D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural areas
    2. We can learn from the passage that         
    A. Zipcar can't help you if you are running urgent errands
    B. Zipcar, different from other services, is aimed at green driving with no profit
    C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing services for a monthly payment
    D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
    3. The second paragraph mainly tells us           .
    A. why people will share a car
    B. why car sharing benefits the environment
    C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
    D. why a car is available to members
    4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A. Car sharing has become a new trend (趋势).
    B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
    C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
    D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.

         The iPhone, the iPad, the iPod: each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad (一时
    的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are
    following suit. (仿效) The BBC's I Player-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the
    Internet-adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is
    called "I Teddy". A slimmed- down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name "i".
         In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
         Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"i", it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
         But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i". Why not use "a", "b",or "c" instead? According
    to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, "i" works because its meaning
    has become ambiguous. When Apple uses "i", no one knows whether it means Internet, information,
    individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. "Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it
    didn't have one clear definition,"he says.
         "However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便),"adds Thorne.
         Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.
    Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
         Along with "Google" and "blog", readers of BBC Magazines voted "i" as one of the top 20 words that
    have come to define the last decade.
         But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with"2000"in
    their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern.
    However,
    as we entered the new century, the trend disappeared.
    1.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is aimed at         .
    A. young readers      
    B. old readers    
    C. fashionable women    
    D. engineers
    2.The underlined word "ambiguous" means"         ".
    A. popular          
    B. uncertain      
    C. definite            
    D. fashionable
    3. Nowadays, the "i" term often reminds people of the products which are        .
    A. portable                          
    B. environmentally friendly
    C. advanced                          
    D. recyclable
    4. The writer suggests that           .
    A. "i" products are often of a high quality
    B. the popularity of "i" products may not last long
    C. the  letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the products
    D. I Teddy is a live bear

         How can you help kids cope with (应对) stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping
    skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk or just be in
    the same room with you, make yourself available.
         Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It's really hard for some people to come home after
    work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day-especially if
    they've had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they're important
    to you.
         Help your child cope with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up
    with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time
    talking with parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
         You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For
    example, let a child know ahead of time(but not too far ahead of time) that a doctor's appointment is
    coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably
    won't need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.
         Remember that some level of stress is normal; let kids know that it's OK to feel angry, scared, lonely,
    or anxious and that other people share those feelings.
         When kids can't or won't discuss these issues, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that
    you're willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they're ready. If a child shows
    symptoms (症状) that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor or other mental health
    experts.
         Most parents have the skills to deal with their children's stress. The time to seek professional attention
    is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the
