The year 2013 was very bad for my life. Due to illness I had to be in hospital for the first time in my life. Everything went wrong in the work. On personal front, my marriage date was fixed but that guy left me just a week before our engagement. I was almost in depression because of whatever all happened to me. I was struggling to come out of this situation as it was a very bad period of my life.

In those days, I met a guy in the office. This guy was much younger to me but still very soon, we became good friends. We had so much in common that we spent a lot of time talking with each other. On my birthday, he offered to share my birthday evening. It was a lovely evening and I felt so nice. He made my birthday so special that I couldn’t help crying. Very soon, our friendship became stronger and finally we fell in love in just a few days. These days it’s very rare that people get love in return. So I found myself so lucky that I experienced equal love in return. It’s always the inner beauty that makes a person beautiful and he made me realize how beautiful I was and brought my confidence back. He not only loved me so much but also helped me in many ways to solve my other problems. I became more and more confident and made great progress in my work.

This man came into my life like an angel when I needed him most. I got thousands of reasons to hate 2013 but just one reason which made 2013 very special was enough to forget all bad memories. I owe so much to him and don’t know if I would ever be able to repay for what he has done for me. I would like to take this opportunity to tell him “THANK YOU SO MUCH, my dear”.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us.” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.

Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire.” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”．

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.

The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look­see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish.” says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.

Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”

The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die.” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

1.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?

A. The news from the Web.　　　　 B. His love for teaching.

C. The influence of his wife.　　 D. His health problem.

2.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?

A. Give out brochures.

B. Write books for children

C. Do something similar..

D. Retire from being a teacher.

3.According to the text, Dolly Parton is ________.

A. a well­known surgeon

B. a singer born in Tennessee

C. a mother of a four­year­old

D. a computer programmer

4.What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?

A. He considers his efforts worthwhile.

B. He wonders why some people are so busy.

C. He tries to save those waiting to die.

D. He needs more money to help the children.

Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold, and dirty to him.

They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.

He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.

He began to go down to the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric-a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.

Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it and you can do it, too.”

From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.

Jeremy Wirick, 9, has been back in school for less than two months, but he has already had several asthma(哮喘)attacks. A recent attack happened on October 2, after he pushed himself too hard in physical exercise. Running, power walking, jogging and push-ups took their toll. When Jeremy got home an hour or two later, he was out of breath. He needed to use a nebulizer（喷雾器）, a machine that helps send medicine quickly to the lungs, to get his breathing back to normal.

Asthma attacks like Jeremy increase in September and October. More than six times as many asthma sufferers who are primary-school age need hospital treatment in the fall as in the summer.

Experts believe many factors can cause back-to-school asthma. Kids get together in close spaces, they start passing viruses around. A viral infection(感染) can cause an asthma attack. There are also certain fall allergies(过敏症)that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides, the stress of school can make asthma worse.

Parents can play a big role in helping kids with asthma start the school year right. Dawne Gee’s 10-year-old son, Alexander, has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts, she tells school workers in writing about her son’s asthma.

The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication(药物治疗)with them at school. Alexander’s mom makes sure he has his inhaler(人工呼吸器)with him when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are allowed to carry their inhalers at school.
