Tom was a helpful boy. Every Sunday morning, he walked to the newspaper kiosk (报刊亭) at the supermarket to buy a newspaper for his dad. He liked to leave the house early as it was more peaceful then, with fewer cars in the streets.

“What a helpful boy you are, Tom! Thank you. It is heavy,” she replied.
Tom picked up the heavy bag and began walking slowly home with Mrs. Jackson. The bag seemed to grow heavier with each step. Then, just as
they were about to cross the road, it fell off Tom’s hand and dropped on the hard road!

When talking about colds(感冒), maybe some people say it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain（抱怨） the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset are not only the headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take a handkerchief or tissue along with them.
Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, accor ding to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often.
32. The underline part in Paragraph 5 is probably means ___________.
A. sad
B. bad-tempered
C. thoughtful
D. outgoing
33. What did the study find?

B. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.
C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.
D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.
34. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?
A. Eating.
B. Laughing C . Crying D. Sleeping.
35. What is the best title for this passage? ________
A. Smiles can fight colds
B. Cause of colds found
C. The danger of colds
D. How people get sick

How to Choose the Best Mother’s Day Gift
Let’s face it, shopping for that perfect gift on Mother’s Day can be very painful. 36
That’s why they are spending tons of money on dinners and clothes. Instead of buying an expensive gift that your mom probably won’t ever use, take a look at the tips to help you pick out the right gift.
1.Remember all the little things.
Mother’s Day is a very special day. 37 You should try to buy gifts that she truly loves. For example, choose gifts that areabout her favorite foods, childhood memories, hobbies, etc. This will not only show that you care, but your gift will also be meaningful.
2.Think about the good old days.
38 Whether you buy another set of clothes that she used to wear or put together a collection of old photos in a photo album can make her feel special. These are probably the best types of gifts to give if you can pull it off（圆满完成）.
3.Give her a surprise.
It’s always fun to surprise our mothers and to see the joy on their faces. 39 If there is no possibility of it, take her out to an event or dining experience that is new and different. She may be surprised at how much fun she had.
4.Send her a handmade gift.
40 Sometimes, buying gifts can be a good choice on Mother’s
giving the best gift for our mothers. Try something different like making her favourite food or knitting（编织）light blankets for the coming autumn season.

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting in at your new school. Such problems are quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may be helpful.
First, I think you may need to communicate with your classmates as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better.
Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more activities, which usually involve teamwork and interactions with other students and are therefore good for developing friendly relationships. Last but not least, faced with some tough problems, you might consider asking our teachers, who can usually offer you some sensible suggestions.
I sincerely hope my advice will be of some help to you. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know.。
