It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life
2.We can infer from the text that ________
A. The couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family
3.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
4.What does the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

We Americans are wasteful people, not used to saving. Early settlers, our forefathers set us an example of wasting everything, for they thought nature’s resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time. Within a few years of the first Virginia settlement, for example, pioneers burned down their houses when they were ready to move west. They burned down their houses with only one aim to get the nails（钉子）for future use. No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hardwoods that went up in smoke. As a people we destroy many valuable things that other people save. I noticed this when I was living in Britain. I received a letter from one England’s largest banks. It was enclosed in a used envelope（信封）that had been readdressed to me. Such a practice would be unthinkable in the United States. American banks, even the smallest, always use expensive stationery（信笺）with the names of all twenty - eight vice – presidents lists on side of the page.
1.According to the passage, we know the writer is ________ .
A. a Chinese B. a Japanese C. an Englishman D. an American
2.The writer thought their forefathers ________ .
A. set a good example B. wasted many natural resources
C. knew natural resources would be used up in time
D. made the best use of natural materials
3. Which of the following statements is wrong?
A. The writer lives in Britain now.
B. American banks use expensive stationery.
C. Americans are not used to saving.
D. The writer’s forefathers burned down their houses in order to get the nails.
4.The purpose of the passage is to ________ .
A. wish Americans not to waste B. tell us the English are a good people
C. warn Americans against saving D. encourage people to work hard.

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
1.The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to______.
A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health
B. introduce a famous expert
C. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces
D. show how to control one’s temper
2.The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“______”.
A. removing B. keeping up C. getting rid of D. learning about
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress.
B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.
C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.
D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.
4.The best title for this passage is probably _______.
A. Forgiveness B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health
C. A Secret to Keeping Health D. Anger Is Bad for Health

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.
1.According to the passage, few people know that _____.
A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
B. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
C. a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
D. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
2.The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _________.
A. it is his own fault B. his parents are to blame
C. he is just unlucky D. his arms must be weak
3.From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ___.
A. people who can’t read are cleverer than those who can
B. people who can’t write are cleverer than those who can
C. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memory
D. people who practice remembering regularly have a better memory
4.The passage mainly tells us ____________.
A. how to get our arms and legs stronger B. how to improve our memory
C. how to read and write D. how to remember dates and prices

In the United States, 30 percent of the people have a “weight problem”. To many people the cause is obvious (明显的): they eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗条的) people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat.
The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1.Nowadays many Americans have the problem that ______.
A. they are too slim B. they work too hard
C. they are too fat D. they lose too much body fat
2.According to the passage, how many people in 900 Americans have a “weight problem”?
A. 150. B. 300. C. 600. D. 270.
3.Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence to support this.
C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D. We are not sure.
4.The Americans in 1910 ________.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities
B. ate less food but had more physical activities
C. ate less food and had less physical activities
D. had more problems
