I waschecking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all of
a sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).
Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.
After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.
Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."
After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.
Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night,for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.

When I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every nowand then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.
All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."
Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!
As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect
people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.

A. Show understanding to imperfect things.
B. Ask the children to respect their parents.
C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.
D. Make important decisions on your own.
11. In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?
A. History and culture.
B. Family and relationship.
C. Cuisine and health.
D. Entertainment and sports.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项What is it about homework that wears families out?Even new grade-schoolers, who love doing it at first, often lose their enthusiasm and start delaying. And after a long day, you just want your kid to settle down so you can get dinner on the table or start the bedtime routine.___16___
Do It as Early as Possible: Best for Everyone
On days when there are no afternoon activities, give your child a time frame — say, between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. — to get down to business. This gives her some control over her schedule, some kids need a longer break after school, and others need to start right away to keep the motivate going.___17___This way, the homework can get done before your kid’s too tired
___18___
From kindergarten on, kids need a list of three or four classmates they can call on when they forget an assignment. The study friends can read your child the spelling words over the phone, or his mom can take a picture of the worksheet and text it to you.
Build Confidence: Best for the Scared
When kids don’t get something right away, they may feel like they’re not smart enough and start to shut down. You can sit down and figure out the first problem together. That only can help her remember how to do the rest.___19___Another strategy: Have your child show you similar problems he worked on in class. That may jog his memory so he can retrace the steps.___20___
A. Make a Call List: Convenient for Making Friends
B. Create a Call List: Best for Forgetters
C. Plus, it helps you see what he’s already learned.
D. The only rule is that 5 o’clock is the latest time to start.
E. Then continue to praise: "You did a great job on that one! Try the next one now."
F. Here are some successful strategies to help your kids manage their homework load.
G. After scanning it for a minute, say "Aha! Look how well you wrote your letters in this part!"
