AMany years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She cou ldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See,you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.21.The author’s father worked at the local hospital to .A. realize his childhood dreamB. ease his serious heart conditionC. keep himself occupied and happyD. earn money to pay for treatment22.

One of the most important things to get during this time is the backpack. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free. This makes the bag less likely to hinder (妨碍)other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be inside the bag? Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children. Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load. Do children need special storage for the bag? If they will be carrying a laptop computerinside the new backpack, make sure that parents get a model that’s designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.Are children going to use the bag for a long time? If they want to use a bag for a long time，parents will be better off investing in a good brand that is known for quality. Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market.Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets, and generally, the more pockets, the better. This allows children to organize their things, like pens and pencils inside small pockets.Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise (折中）between form, function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children’s needs.25. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Parents should find out how many books their children have.[B.

It’s better for children to have a backpack that has more pockets.D. Parents always feel worried when buying a backpack for their children.COld age may not sound ex citing. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patt erns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not af fect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.28.

By creating a book club with your children, you are teaching your family that reading can be fun and enriching.When you create your family’s book club make sure to allow your children to help in the planning. A great way they can help to establish the club is to allow them to pick the name. by establishing a club name and even a club motto, you are bringing the club to life. Additionally, getting your children involved with the early stages of the book club will make them more dedicated (献身) to the cause. Another idea is to invite other families over once a month for a book party. This is a great social event that will make children excited about reading. Have your kids create the invitations and help choose the theme.Reading goals could be to read a specific number of books, a variety of different styles, or to read an entire series of books. When your club meets its goal then it is time for an awards ceremony or special celebration. Encourage each member to come up with an award to present to another member ( as a parent, you, of course, will create a special and specific award for each child to ensure that no one is left out).Establishing a club name, motto, meeting time, discussion, goals awards and parties are just some of the many ways you can make a book club work in your family. As your kids grow and mature, the club can develop a much better book discussion group to fit your children’s needs and interests.
