A

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn’t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.

“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.

“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.

But when it came to descriptions of t heir presenting problems, things got a little puzzling. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, “Take your time’; it’s warm here.”

I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

I looked out at the family huddled(挤在一起的)by the Christmas tree. The youngest one was watching TV. The oldest one was looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree.

I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we fetched that meal and prepared a banquet(盛宴) for our Christmas guests. Our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.

Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old came back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

21. From the descriptions of the family’s presenting problems, the author learned that _____.

A. one of the children had a language problem

B. only one of the children had bitter earaches

C. the mother caught a bad cold

D. the whole family pretended to be sick

22. The author made sure that the family were homeless by _____.

A. asking them some questions

B. checking their registered information

C. observing their abnormal body language

D. listening to their descriptions of problems

23. After knowing about the homeless family, the nurses _____.

A. offered a television to them

B. bought a lot of presents for them

C. prepared a beautiful Christmas tree for them

D. worked together to let them enjoy a Christmas feast

24. What’s the best title of the tex t?

A. Christmas Emergency

B. Christmas Guests

C. A Poor Family

D. Beautiful Angels

B

Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys something. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart(购物手推车). One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.

Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting while I go to get it.” Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. What is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten hers. But I have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.

25. What does the author say about his customers?

A. They cannot count numbers.

B. They sometimes jump the queue.

C. They don’t know how to ex press themselves.

D. They behave as if their memories have totally failed.

26. According to the text, who are supposed to be in the express line?

A. Customers with nothing bought.

B. Customers with not more than 15 items.

C. Customers with items between 15 and 25.

D. Customers with 25 or even a cart load of items.

27. When customers arrive at the check-out counter, they _____.

A. find their pens lost

B. go back and get more items

C. cannot wait to pay for their groceries

D. prefer paying by check to paying by a credit card

28. We can infer from the text that _____.

A. business in the grocery store runs well

B. the author finds his present job full of fun

C. the author’s part-time job calls for patience

D. customers go to grocery stores without planning

C

If you think it is cold where you are at the moment, then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.

With the average temperature for January standing at -50℃, it is no wonder that the village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the “Pole of Cold”, the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon is -71.2℃, which is the lowest recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth.

Ironic ally, Oymyakon actually means “non-freezing water” due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.

Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer(驯鹿) meat and horse meat. A single shop p rovides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fishermen.

The village is located around 750meters above sea level and the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in summer. And despite its terrible winters, in June, July and August temperatures over 30℃ are not uncommon.

There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burning coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular, the power sta tion starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town will shut down in about five hours, and the pipes will freeze and crack.

Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.

Even if there is coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves could not work in such cold conditions.

Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days.

29. According to the text, Oymyakon ______.

A. is the coldest location on the earth

B. has got frozen water all over the year

C. gets its name because of a nearby hot spring

D. can enjoy quite a few modern conveniences

30. Mobile phones could not work in Oymyakon because ______.

A. the batteries are of poor quality

B. the extreme coldness makes them lose power

C. there is no coverage for phone reception

D. the phone reception is too far away to receive the signals

31. We can learn from the text that _____.

A. daily problems usually accompany the locals

B. the town often stops working because of no coal delivery

C. locals only live on reindeer meat and horse meat

D. locals have no awareness of saving their resources

D

What would it take to persuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep you away from diseases? To live to a healthy of age? You’d think any of those reasons would be enough to get Americans exercising. Yet a vast majority of Americans have thus far failed to swallow the “exercise pill”.

Now a research by psychologists strongly suggests it’s time to think of current well-being (幸福) and happiness as motivators(动机；动力) for exercise instead of future health, weight loss and body image.

Dr. Segar, one of the researchers, believes that immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones. “People who say they exercise for the quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exe rcise for its health benefits,” he said.

Other studies have shown that what keeps people moving depends on age, sex and life circumstances. For those of college age, physical attractiveness typically heads the lists of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships and sense of community that may otherwise be missing from their lives. Improving daily well-being is the most influential factor for women. Men indicate they are motivated by more distant health benefits, but this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs.

“Exercise should be encouraged but the emphasis on weight loss, disease prevention and healthy aging should be reduced,” Dr. Segar concluded.

“Exercise can make people feel more energetic, less stressed and, yes, happier.”

32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Be free from diseases.

B. Take some diet pills.

C. Improve their figure.

D. Keep physically active.

33. According to the passage, which of the following people may exercise more

in a year?

A. Jane, who decides to lose weight.

B. David, who exercises for future health.

C. Mary, who enjoys exercising with her son.

D. Mark, who is suffering from a serious illness.

34. According to Paragraph 4, which group of people tends to exercise for friendship?

A. Men.

B. Women

C. The elderly.

D. College students.

35. What is the author mainly arguing in the passage?

A. Immediate rewards of exercise should be emphasized.

B. Distant benefits should be the motivators for exercise.

C. Feeling relaxed is more important than future health.

D. Men and women take exercise for different purposes.

How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and

/ or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It is not easy! 36 Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.

37

Stay true to yourself by listenin g to the only opinions that really matter—your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.

Don’t fear people

38 The reason why most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge

is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody.

Value yourself and your choices

When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life. 39 When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too. Show confidence in your choices and what you stand for whether others agree or not.

Focus on appreciation

No matter what the circumstances are, there is always something to be

grateful for. All successful people ask: What am I grateful for? How can I improve my situation and use the tough time to inspire others? 40 These steps, if applied, will help you transform your peace of mind, lifestyle, and productivity.

A. Focus on your own talents and strengths.

B. Never let o thers’ opinions guide your choices.

C. Treat every person like they are important.

D. When you doubt yourself, others will doubt you.

E. Stay fearless in everything you will have to do.

Dear Bill,

I am glad to receive your letter. Thank you for your caring for the weather in my hometown. Now I’d like to tell you something about the hazy weather.

During this year, the smog has occurred many times, which has done great harm to us. Some traffic accidents have happened as a result of the heavy smog weather. Some people have to go to see the doctor mainly because of some serious diseases caused by polluted air.

People have realized the severe consequences brought about by the smog and the importance of protecting the environment. Nowadays, we are taking measures to reduce the smog weather. We should go to work or school by bus or on foot. Besides, we should plant more trees. Would you like to tell me some good ideas?

I am looking forward to your reply!

Yours,

Li Hua
