11、Every Friday I went to a senior nursing home. It seemed as if it needed 1 , but little did I know it would help me too.
During my first visit I helped to polish (擦光) some ladies’ nails . One woman asked me many questions. After she was satisfied with my 2 , she started to share some of her hidden 3 . By listening to her, I realized I had helped her a lot: she looked 4 from some of her past pains.
When she was finished, she told me something that 5 me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “You’re the only person I was able to tell this to. The other volunteers are too busy to 6 me.

During every second I spent there, I realized how much of a difference my 11 could have on the lives of others. The hardest part of living there is that it breaks the human 12 between those in today’s society and the nursing home.
Every moment I spend chatting is a chance to 13 that connection again, to share their worries, and to shape someone’s life. In turn , that 14 also shapes me.

15、It is two in the morning. The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, “I am just doing my job!”
Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in
the world — the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.
Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. “We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,” she said.
Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.

A．considers herself unusual B．teaches people how to swim
C．has a great love for dolphins D．works long hours every day
3．The writer is trying to introduce some unusual jobs by .
A．holding some activities B．offering some examples
C．comparing several ones D．telling some funny storie

16、On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act(举动) would change their lives.
Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, but also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.
Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February
18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.
That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is gener ous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.
All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing-returning something that did not belong to him.
1．When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring?
A．On February 9th, 2013. B．On February l0th, 2013.
C．On February 18th, 2013. D．On February 22nd 2013.
2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

C．Billy bought a diamond ring. D．Billy appeared in the news report.
3．The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 4 refers to(指代)" ".
A．returning the ring B．setting up a page C．living in the streets D．receiving money
4．What's the main idea of this passage two?
A．A generous woman changed her own life. B．A kind man set up special page.
C．A homeless man returned diamond ring. D．Many people donated much money.
5．From this story, we know that ________.
A．helping others is helping ourselves B．helping those in trouble is sometimes not necessary
C．life is not that easy D．we should always help old people

17、In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you c ould ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” “But, don’t be surprised if they say, “No,
you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude guest.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my coun try. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
1．If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?
A．It’s OK if you smoke here. B．Let’s smoke together.
C．Sorry, you can’t smoke here. D．Smoking is a bad habit.
2．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?
A．think back to B．get used to C．look forward to D．keep close to
3．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B．Hosts must do things in the guest’s way.
C．Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D．People should understand cultural differences.

19、Do you want to have a brother or a sister?
Do you want to have a brother or a sister?Last week,we had a discussion about two-child policy.Some students think they don’t want to have a brother or a sister. Because they don’t want to share parents’ love with others.Also, parents can be tired because of two children.
However,others think they want to have a brother or a sister. Because they are eager for a person to play with.They can share their happiness and sorrow.
17% of students think they can’t mind having a brother or a sister.It should be decided by their parents.
I think it is good to have a brother or sister to grow up with, I can share everything with him or her.。
