Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday．"Can you find me another copy of this song？"she asked，and handed me a worn-out cassette tape．I knew exactly what was recorded on it：My Redeemer．I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up．After so many years，the cassette tape was too worn out to be used．I promised her I would find a replacement．My Redeemer became Mom's favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973．The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station．We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist（独唱者）was．These days，I thought
the song would be easy to find out．I went home and searched the Internet．Several songs with that title popped up，but none of them was the one Mom loved．I got frustrated．
Mom's birthday drew near and then one day，I was driving home，listening to our local radio station．A familiar tune came on．It was My Redeemer!As soon as I could，I phoned the station．I got a line on the soloist，who was called Alan Parks．I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina．Minutes later，I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom．He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally．I gave him my address．"Red Lion，Pennsylvania？"he said．"Do you know the Logans？""They are our neighbors!""I've been friends with them for 25years，"Alan said．"They'll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th．Would you and your mom come too？"We sure would．Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her，live in concert-on the evening of her 87th birthday．

Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy (哲学) behind it is: Say “Hello” and stop war.
It sounds like a fin e idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” won't bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying “Hello” to someone can make a lot of difference.
This might not be obvious. After all, it's such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor(走廊), say “Hello”，and then it's over.
Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because they're shy. They find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off.
On this basis, maybe it's a good idea, not just on Nov. 21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we ca n. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day.
Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite.Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and
friends.Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space.
No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert: “Politeness is the flower of
huma nity.” A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected(忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.
8．What is World Hello Day intended for?
A．Philosophy.B．Peace. C．Politeness. D．War.
9．What has an effect on people most?
A．Raising heads to others. B．Doing something casually.
C．Meeting in the school corridor. D．The simple act of saying “Hello”．
10．Why do some people feel lonely?
A．They are unwilling to communicate with others.
B．They are too shy to communicate with others.
C．They are very fond of living alone.
D．They don't like doing things as others do.
11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We should neglect a small thing. B．Saying “Hello” to others is powerful. C．The flowers make the world better. D．No one is better than Joseph Joubert.
D
Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket，thinking it is vibrating（振动），only to find that it isnˈt？This phenomenon，which scientists call"phantom（幻觉的）phone vibration"，is very common．Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still．
So，what leads to this universal behavior？According to the BBC，the explanation lies in your brainˈs ability to discover signals from the outside world．When your phone is in your pocket，there are two possible states：it is either vibrating or not．Meanwhile，you also have two possible states of mind：the judgment that the phone is vibrating，or that it isnˈt．Ideally，you match the four states correctly．
However，sometimes your brain decides that the results of missing a call are more serious than a"false alarm"．Therefore，you become more sensitive（敏感的）to vibrations so that you donˈt miss anything． This is just like the fire alarm in your home---it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke．But thatˈs a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you．Now，you might still ask：why canˈt our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals？The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day．"You get a large amount of sensory(感觉的) information thatˈs coming from your eyes，ears and skin，and you canˈt deal with all that information all the time，"Michael Rothberg，a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield，US，told Live Science．
For example，the rustling（沙沙声）of clothing or the growling（咕咕声）of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone-it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room．
So，perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think itˈs vibrating．Itˈs not too much trouble to do that，is it？
12.According to this passage，phantom phone vibration ______ ．
A. is common among people with mental problems
B. can measure peopleˈs ability to collect information
C. happens when our brains react sensitively to false signals
D. helps our brains to make very quick and accurate decisions
13. Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage？
A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration．
B. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better．
C. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out．
D. To convince us itˈs important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm．
14.According to Michael Rothberg，which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration？
A. A noisy background．
B. A lack of much attention．
C. A heavy burden every day．
D. An overflow of sensory information．
15. What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration？
A. We should always fully believe our own sense of listening．
B. We should just check our phones whenever we think theyˈre vibrating．
C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still．
D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments．

书面表达：
Dear Sir,
I’m a Chinese student named Li Hua from Xinhua High School, a loyal netizen of your website.
I’m writing to you to say something about the topic of the discussion, wh ich will start recently. I think ＂Being thankful＂is a topic. As we all know, there are so many people we should say ＂thanks＂to, such as our parents, teachers, friends and so on. Our parents always work hard to do what they can to bring us up, our teachers help us not only in our studies but also in our daily life and friends or some other people may lend their helpful hands to us whenever possible. Everyone should be thankful! So I suggest the topic should be put forward for netizens to
discuss.
I hope this meaningful activity will be a great success!。
