Mom's Recipe for Life
I have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the
pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card， nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.
My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude
continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.
As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的 )every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回 应 )with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.
What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there， she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip， I asked her how it went.
“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old
man，and not one word was spoken.”
I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.
“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.
“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a
seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles.”
Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the
whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.
When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation， most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.
She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the
smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.
1.Where did the writer's mom grow up?
2.Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?
3.What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?
4.How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?
5.What is Mom's recipe for life?

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):
For many of us,the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be.Today children go away to college,and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest.So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins,many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers.
Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don't care deeply about them.
Whether we realize it or not.(he feeling of being disconnected makes people feel lonely."People need to feel connected,"says Joy Browne,a doctor in the U.S.“And they will do it in the easiest ways."When family members aren't connected,what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people?
This isn't something unusual,of course.People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003.It's natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way,but that's unhealthy,because the relationships aren't two-way(相互的)
For that,we need to stay connected to our own families.Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents,aunts and cousins so that children can know their latest activities and interests.
We can keep connected with our relatives by using technology.It's easy to send E-mail to granddad better yet.A week of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties.And when a bad thing happens,no one can be as helpful as your relatives.Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people,they can't be there to cry for us.
1.Are we often connected to our relatives now?
________________________________________________________________
2.What makes people feel lonely?
__________________________________________________________________
3.The relationships between the famous people and us aren't two-way,are they?
__________________________________________________________________
4.Why do parents tell children stories about the relatives?
___________________________________________________________________
5.How can we keep connected with our relatives?
___________________________________________________________________
6.What do you think of keeping connected with your relatives?
____________________________________________________________________
7.How do you connect with them?

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK –“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Lots of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions (意愿), many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (电子的) should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
1.Is DIY very popular in UK?
___________________________________________________________________________
2.How do many English people spend their holidays?
___________________________________________________________________________
3.Who do people share DIY experiences with?
___________________________________________________________________________
4.How many people were hurt while doing DIY in UK in a year?
___________________________________________________________________________
5.Why do people in UK like DIY?
___________________________________________________________________________

THE KING'S SPEECH---OSCAR WINNERA lot of stories are about friendship and courage. They have been told in many different ways. It is just something that people need to be told from time to time that perhaps people would grow bored of it. Well, director Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech, a historical movie about the British royal family, won the Oscar on 27th, February, 2011. The movie tells about the true story of a King George VI and it also tells the story of a friendship between the king and his doctor. They find something special about the word “courage”.
Just as the name of the movie, the story was simple but moving. Maybe The King’s Speech is just an ordinary story, though it won the Oscar. Throughout the honored movies in Oscar’s these years, it’s not difficult to find out that they seldom follow a traditional Hollywood way. The traditional way of Hollywood means shiny actors, famous director, a lot of money, 3D technology or something else.
With the development of technology, our native movies prefer to follow the traditional Hollywood way. But the results were the decrease of the good comments(评论). What can we learn from that? The standard(标准) for a good movie is not how well- known the actor is, how famous the director is, or how eye-catching the usage of the special skills are, but the connotation(内涵) or the theme the movie includes!
1.Is The King’s Speech about friendship and courage?
2. When did The King’s Speech win the Oscar?
3. What does the traditional way of Hollywood mean?
4.Which is more important to a good movie, famous actor or the theme the movie includes?
5. What is the passage mainly about?

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
My friend Brett had just got a bike. A lot of kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride. I also wanted to ride, but all the boys told me I couldn’t do it because I was a girl. I decided to prove them wrong, so Brett let me try his bike. I wasn’t on for one minute before I fell off. He came over to see if I was OK, but then started laughing.
That night I told my dad the whole story about how I wanted to be as good as boys. A few days later my dad told me he had found a nice bike. He brought it home and that was when I became the laughing stock (笑柄) of the neighborhood. All the boys thought it was a joke that I actually wanted to learn how to ride.
My dad spent four long weeks teaching me everything I needed to know about the bike and the basics of riding. Day after day and night after night he worked with me, and I began to progress.
Each ride on my dirt bike, I got a little better, and finally I was ready for my first time on a trip with some boys. At first I couldn’t keep up and the boys had to wait for me. My bike often got stuck in the muddy creeks.
Every time I came back, I would cry, and every time I cried my dad was there to put his arms around me. He would tell me not to listen to them and that with more practice, I would be as good as others or better than them.
Things eventually got easier, as if I could ride with my eyes closed. I am still made fun of, not because I’m an amateur (技术不熟练的人) or not good, but because they felt threatened that a girl can do what they did.
1.Why did all the boys say that the writer couldn’t ride a bike?
2.Did the writer’s father get her a bike?
3.How long did it take for the writer to learn to ride a bike?
4.What happened to the writer’s bike when she first had a trip with some boys?
5.What can you learn from the writer according to the story?
