As a first responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old paramedic(急救医务人员) since 1984.
Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.
Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.
＂You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have,＂ the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.
＂That day changed my life,＂ Lanenberg said. ＂Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life.＂
1.What did Lanenberg do with the young man?
A. He gave the man the first aid. B. He cured the man at the scene.
C. He only sent the man to hospital. D. He took care of the man’s wife and son.
2.What did Lanenberg think of the encounter with the man?
A. It was unbelievable. B. It was a common routine.
C. It was a matter of course. D. It was a dangerous situation.
3.Why was the man thankful to Lanenberg?
A. Lanenberg helped bring up his little son.
B. Lanenberg donated to support his family.
C. Lanenberg gave him the present happy life.
D. Lanenberg taught his son to be a new doctor.
4.How did the meeting change Lanenberg’s life?
A. He changed his attitude to his job.
B. He was rewarded with much money.
C. He got a promotion to be a team leader.
D. He took up teaching work to train newcomers.

As we all know, nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair, and shells as a thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin.
If someone were to ask you, "Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?" most would answer, "To keep themselves warm, of course."
It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all.
For example, we wear clothes to some degree in order to decorate ourselves－to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified (尊严) or nicer.
Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge on the Bench, for example, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. Clothes are an important part of ceremony, whether it is connected with belief, the law, parliament, and royalty, the fighting forces or the state. How very different the Queen's Coronation ceremony (加冕仪式) would have looked without the robes, coronets and the cloth of gold.
Sometimes, even in some modern countries people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs.
None of these reasons for wearing clothes－to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world, for ceremonial purposes, for "luck", to give ourselves dignity and authority－have anything to do with our need for warmth.
65.From the passage we know that wearing clothes is man's basic necessity to________.
A. protect skin B. show beauty C. keep warm D. bring luck
66.According to the passage, the judge wearing special clothes on the Bench________.
A. looks nicer B. looks different C. shows wealth D. shows power
67.Even in modern countries, sometimes people wear certain clothes because________.
A. they believe that they will get protected from bad luck and illness
B. it has something to do with their wealth
C. they want to show their power
D. they enjoy wearing such kind of clothes
68.The author's purpose in writing this article is to tell us that clothes are worn________.
A. for ceremonial occasions B. for many other reasons besides warmth
C. to keep people impressive and nicer D. to show people's authority or power

You can’t hide a natural disaster from children, so how do we prepare them for it? First of all, you should explain to them that acts of nature aren’t necessarily disasters but can become one. These may include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, wild fires, and earthquakes. The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them “Disaster Masters” or whatever title you can think of.
Making them a Disaster Master won’t be easy. They must know what’s in a disaster emergency kit(工具箱) and why it’s included. You can get your friends involved, too. If your friends have children, they may want to be involved in your emergency preparations. Make it a group project. This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment.
We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to stress. The children will be easily influenced by your attitude and demeanor. The calmness, steady manner, and good humor of your spouse (配偶) and you will go a long way toward the easing or the reduction of stress.
Explain to them what they’re likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react. Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally don’t last long. If you must stay away from home, try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new friends. Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused. And it’s important to let them know it’s OK to cry during a disaster.
It’s sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what they’ve experienced. Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done better. Save the story. Make it part of a documented family history!
1.This passage was written mainly to tell us about ______.
A．the importance of mutual help in disaster preparation
B．tips for preparing children for a natural disaster
C．the importance of educating children about natural disasters
D．ways to raise children’s courage in natural disasters
2.It is a must that a Disaster Master knows ______.
A．when a natural disaster will come
B．why there are natural disasters
C．how to use a disaster emergency kit
D．how to teach others about emergency preparations
3.The underlined word “demeanor” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.
A．personality B．lifestyle C．emotion D．behavior
4.When they meet with a natural disaster, children ______.
A．must write down what they see and how they feel
B．should believe that the disaster will never last long
C．can cry if they are frightened
D．should help other children despite the danger
5.The author wrote the passage mainly for ______.
A．parents B．young children C．teachers D．college students

What you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself better. 1. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. 2.
The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “3.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn’t match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.
4. If you receive a homemade gift, you re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. They’ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.
People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. 5. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.
A.I agree with you. I like you the way you are.
B.However, gift giving can be misunderstanding if you are careless.
C.Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality.
D.I don’t like you, especially the way you dress yourself.
E.Here is a guide to who gives what—and why.
F.Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly-learnt meaning.
G.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today.
