That means we get our new hips for free.My hip had been hurting me for years before I went to the doctor. Of course, it was free. She referred me to a surgeon, but theearliest appointment was in 10 months. That is what being free gets you. Ten months later, after some free X-rays, the surgeon told me I needed surgery, which was about an 18-month wait, for some senior citizens had been on the operation list. Another 18 months! I dragged myself out of the surgeon’s office.Walking through the hospital, I thought about the situation. As the breadwinner of a large family, I couldn’t wait that long, so I had to get to the front line. I was fully aware of what a Canadian should be like (Canadians are usually considered gentle and ca-ring), but this time I really needed to fight for myself. At that very moment, in the shop window of the hospital, I saw a sign which read, “Volunteers Needed.” Suddenly, an idea occurred to me—I would get the job. Fortunately, they signed me up immediately because the average age of the volunteers at the shop was 75. They were desperate for some young blood.Every Friday morning, I was at the shop. While seeing thehospital staff, I’d casually be asked, What do you do? Then I'd tellthem, Well, I'm getting my hip replaced—in 18 months. It’s going to be so great when the pain stops. Soon, all the staff got to know me. Naturally, in my next appointment, the surgeon recognized me. Moments later, I had a surgery date just weeks away.I had to say it was actually my volunteering that got me to the front of the line. And I’m not ashamed of it, for I intend to stick with the volunteering. Also, even when I cheated the system, I did it in a way that benefits society.【小题1】What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．She felt rather disappointed.B．She couldn’t walk because of the pain.C．She was too scared to have the surgery.D．She didn’t believe what the surgeon said.【小题2】Why did the writer decide to be a volunteer?A．To donate blood to the hospital.B．To get her new hip free of charge.C．To receive some tiny gifts from others.D．To approach the doctor for early surgery.【小题3】What did the author think of her cheat?A．It was a shame.B．It was a pride.C．It was beneficial.D．It was a fair deal.【小题4】Which can be the best title for the text?A．How I Got My New HipB．The Doctor Who Saved My LifeC．How to Be a Volunteer in HospitalD．The Problem of Canada’s Healthcare System3. Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day, but not for the reason that most people would think．He isn’t homeless．In fact he is trying to help the homeless.Gregory began his life as a sculptor．But he often felt that his sculptures, which just stood in rich people’s house s for years, lacked a meaningful purpose．So in 201l he decided to put hisartistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn’t oc cur to him until the year 2013, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布)．Instead of a tarp, Gregory offered them something better: a small home with a water tank, a kitchen and a trap for waste．They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helpinghouse the homeless population in his city．And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started.Before starting a new home, Gregory, goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins．Everything he finds is usable—refrigerator doors become house doors; washing machine doors often serve as windows, and the tops of cars become strong roofs．He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily．Each home takes two to three days to make．So far Gregory has donated dozens o f homes to the city’s most needy．While his small low-cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness, they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in．They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help.Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture, where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops．“A lot of people who hear about what I’m doing want to get involved,” he said．“Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together.”【小题1】Why did Gregory turn from making sculptures to creating homes?A．He had no home to live in．B．He had to make more money.C．He lost interest in sculpture.D．He wanted to help the homeless.【小题2】The author mentions the story in Paragraph 3 to tellus____________.A．Gregory’s small homes were popular among the homelessB．how Gregory got the idea of “Homeless Homes Project”C．the homeless couple asked Gregory to produce more homes D．housing the homeless in a city was not an easy task【小题3】What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?A．Gregory has great trouble hunting for materials for his small houses．B．It takes Gregory a long time to produce a home．C．Gregory’s work requires imagination and creativityD．Everything in the dustbins will be used in Gregory’s work．【小题4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Gregory’s project will help more homeless people.B．Gregory doesn’t need to make small homes now．C．Gregory’s work will completely solve the homelessness problem．D．A single person can make no difference to social problems．4. Stained glass artists create different designs by making cuts on the glass to “score” it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.As the artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The bestway to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way lo do it, but it’s the only way to do it.”How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to tran sforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out.Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glassartist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cut. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it change shape.Of course, change is n’t easy — no mailer how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of broken pieces.【小题1】Why is an inside cut believed to be most difficult?A ．It needs a one-and-only design.B ．It calls for nothing but inspiration.C ．The edges of the curve break easily.D ．The glass inside the curve is easily broken.【小题2】What mistakes are easily made according to paragraph 3?A ．Being too eager to make improvements.B ．Being too worried about the final outcome.C ．Trying to make a complete change all at once.D ．Developing to focus on progress instead of achievements.【小题3】What does the author suggest by saying “slicing a shallow cure”?A ．Moving forward with a clear aim.B ．Starting slow and improving little by little.C．Developing a new habit with great determination, D．Handling something major first and ignore the minor part. 【小题4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To show his love of stained glass. B．To introduce the skill of an inside cut.C．To appreciate designs of stained glass artists. D．To share his opinions on how to make a change.二、七选五5. How to Stop Self-blaming and Start Forgiving Yourself?Everybody makes mistakes, and it’s true whether you believe it or not. 【小题1】 You can learn to stop self-blaming and start forgiving yourself. Here are some tips.1. 【小题2】When you take responsibility for your actions, you accept that you made a mistake. Do n’t try to shift the blame onto others. It takes a strong-willed person to admit they made a mistake, and it needs to be done in order to clear your consciousness. If you don’t accept responsibility, you run the risk of having others blame you throughout your life. 【小题3】2. Don’t be critical.If you’re critical of yourself, chances are that you arecritical of others too, perhaps without even realizing it. Judging others is a waste of your own time, which could have been spent bettering yourself in some way. 【小题4】 Try to see things from their point of view. Furthermore, those who judge others may think that others are judging them. Let go of the idea that everyone else is out to get you, and you’ll be free to live your life to the fullest.3. Learn to forgive freely.The first step toward forgiving yourself for making a mistake is to be more forgiving of others. Once you fully understand that everyone makes mistakes, you’ll be more likely to forgive yourself.【小题5】 You just need to be the best you that you can be. This all starts with forgiving yourself and moving on with your life.A．Learn and move on.B．Take responsibility, don’t place blame.C．You don’t have to be perfect because nobody is.D．Instead of judging others, look for the good in everyone you meet. E．When you make mistakes, it’s no use blaming yourself all the time.F．Be realistic about your shortcomings, but also about your strengths as well.G．By accepting responsibility, you make it clear that you were wrong and now want to work toward bettering yourself.三、完形填空6.
