三、阅读理解
18. You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year. Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips.
1. Practice smiling in a mirror. It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera d oes need a little preparation. Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold
your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile. Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face.
2. Choose your color1 wisely. In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker color1 s because they draw attention to the face. Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale. Besides, stay away from super(超级的)-bright color1 s ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect.
3. Avoid unnecessary details. Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile. Save them for your everyday fashion experiments. Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken. The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry.
4. Avoid big changes to your appearance. Big changes may not turn out the way you hope. Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳头) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken. Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach.
32. The best title of this passage is ______.
A. How to Make Yourself Look Good
B. How to Do When Taking a School Photo
C. How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking
D. How to Make a Good School Photo Book
33. A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______.
A. it reflects light with the brightness
B. it makes people look gray and pale
C. it draws more attention than the face
D. it suits nobody in front of a camera
34. The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______.
A. common hair style is more attractive than the over-done
B. simple hair style makes your face more attractive
C. spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive
D. combing the hair up right costs less time but means more
35. During the preparation for photo-taking ______.
A. a camera is needed
B. clothes should be in the laundry
C. fashion should be perfectly showed
D. big changes are not needed

19. It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up in their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60 hours a week to support our family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone stole our bike so I wrote to the newspaper and told our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from work. It is really an honour that a complete stranger would go out of his way for someone he has never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more than so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
25. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. They used it for work and daily life.
26. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week．
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought back the bike
D. life was hard for the family
27. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts.
B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.
D. From a stranger.
28. What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. People should take care of their bikes.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.参考答案：
