3.Jeremy was born with a twisted body,and terminal illness slowly killing him throughout his young life.Still,his parents had tried to give him as normal a life as possible and had sent him to St.Theresa's Elementary School.
    At the age of 12,Jeremy was only in second grade,seemingly unabl e to learn.His teacher,Doris Miller,often became angry with him.He would often disturb the class by squirming(扭动) in his seat,drooling(流口水) and making grunting(呼噜声)noises.Doris had 18 other youngsters to teach and she didn't want to waste time on Jeremy.
Spring came,and the children talked excitedly about the coming of Easter.Doris told them of the story of Jesus,and stressed the idea of new life springing forth,she gave each of them a large plastic egg."Now,"she said to them,"I want you to take this home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows new life.Do you understand?""Yes,Miss Miller!"All the children responded except Jeremy.He just listened,his eyes never left her face.He did not even make his usual noises.
    The next morning,the children came to school and placed their eggs in a large basket on Doris'desk.After they completed their Math lesson,it was time to open the eggs.
In the first egg,Doris found a flower."Oh yes,a flower is certainly a sign of new life,"she said.The next egg had a plastic beautiful butterfly in it.Then Doris opened the fourth egg.It was empty!Surely it must be Jeremy's she thought,and he did not understand the instructions.
She put that egg down so she wouldn't embarrass him.Suddenly Jeremy spoke up and said"Aren't you going to talk about my egg?"Doris replied,"But Jeremy-your egg is empty!"He looked into her eyes and said softly,"Yes,but Jesus'tomb was empty too!"
   Doris asked him,"Do you know why the tomb was empty?""Oh yes!"Jeremy exclaimed."Jesus was killed and put there.Then His Father raised Him up!"
    A fter class the children excitedly ran out,but Doris cried.The cold inside her melted completely away.
    Three months later,Jeremy died.Those who paid their respects at the funeral were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of Jeremy's casket,all of them empty.

After a few minutes,the father asked his son the 2nd time,''What is this?''

18.There is plenty of complaints about how social media-texting in particular-may be harming children's social and intellectual development.But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging (IM'ing) and texting among teens may also provide benefits,particularly for those who are introverted (内向的).
British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens,aged 14 to 18.All of the participants were"regular"or"extensive"IM'ers.In the U.S.,two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly,with a full third messaging at least once every day.
The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study,and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior.In 100of these chats,the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness,distress or anger.The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral.After the chat,participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distress-not enough to completely eliminate it,but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.
"Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provide emotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being,"the authors write,noting that prior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings,but even more with IM.And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face,implying a strengthening of their bond.
Why would digital communication do better than human contact?The reasons are complex,but may have something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and other emotions via IM without revealing emotional elements like tears that some may consider as embarrassing or sources of discomfort.Studies also show that the anonymity (匿名) of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may cause people to feel more comfortable in sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings.Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can "vent" emotions and provide a sense of relief-and doing so,knowing that your words are reaching a sympathetic friend,may provide even more comfort and potentially be therapeutic.Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did.Susan Cain,author of Quiet wrote recently for TIME:Introverts are often brimming over with thoughts and care deeply for their friends,family and colleagues.But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass from socializing or talking on the phone.This is what the Internet offers:the chance to connect-but in measured doses and from behind a screen.

63.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A
A.Teens are more likely to send instant messages when feeling distressed.
B.Instant messaging can help completely remove teens'negative emotions.
C.Chat via instant messaging services makes participants feel good or calm.
D.Constant instant messaging can help teens control their negative emotions.
64.The underlined word"vent"in paragraph 5 most probably meansC.
A.control      B.maintain      C.release       D.conceal
65.What does the digital communication enable users to do?D
A.Find more sympathetic friends.
B.Share and discuss more information.
C.Produce more expressive writings.
D.Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.
66.What can be concluded from the new study by British researchers?B
A.Instant messaging will prevent children's social and intellectual development.
B.Introverted teens may benefit from constant instant messaging.
C.Teens feeling bad often feel closer to real-life friends than to the net friends.
D.American teens aged 14to 18are extensive instant messaging users.
5.In the business of day-to-day life,we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment.(36)D  It has many mental and physical benefits.If you want to work on being more grateful,try shifting your focus throughout the day.Work on practicing mindfulness,which can help you appreciate the present moment.You should also find a balance,allowing yourself to feel grateful.
(37)A  Mindfulness is also about paying attention to your breath.Breathing is a vital bodily function that we often do not notice throughout the day.Start making a conscious effort to focus on your own breathing.

Find a comfortable place to sit.(39)F   Think of three or four phrases that sum up your core desires.For example,you might come up with something like,"May I be happy in my pursuits.May I have good health.may I be calm and patient throughout the day."
Say this prayer for yourself.(40)B   Direct it towards someone you are thankful for in your life.For example,"May my mother be happy in her pursuits.May my mother have good health,etc."

B.Then,direct it outwards.
C.As a result,we feel regretful later
D.However,being grateful is important

2.Bicycling is not only a great way (61)tosee the outdoors and take in the fresh air,but also a great way to develop muscle and burn fat.You will(62)probably(probable) burn somewhere between 400and 500calories on a one-hour bicycling trip.
If weight loss is your objective,cycling can be very beneficial.A gradual weight loss of about one pound a week is a wise goal,(63)whichhelps to maintain muscle tissue and (64)greatly(great) increase your chance of long-term success.People (65)wholose great deal of weight quickly are very likely    to regain the pounds within the first year.
If daily physical activity is(66)a new part of your life,please don't make too many other changes until the daily activity to establish.In other words,it is not a good idea (67)to start(start ) exercising and give up sugar,coffee and cigarettes all at the same time.Besides,a healthy diet is of great importance as well.(68)Eating(eat) a diet rich in fruits,vegetables and whole grains will support the loss of extra(69)prounds(pound) while fueling your body on cycling trips.
Cycling will help you to feel (70)stronger(strong)than before.If you take it up as a daily activity along with healthy eating,a fitter body is a sure result.
3.My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid,first-generation,Italian immigrant.She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World WarⅠwhen she was only 8 years old.During the trip she survived stormy seas,little food,and an attack by a German U-boat.After getting here,her large family worked hard to build a new life in America.They never had much money but were rich in love.
    One day,when I was about 5 or 6 years old,my parents and brothers went on a trip.It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend.Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself.She made me a special breakfast that first morning.However,all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it.Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room.I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes.It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.
    I walked over to Nanny,climbed on her lap,and for the first time in my short life I did something else too.I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me.She smiled,rubbed my head,and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then.
    That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever.It is a sign of both strength and wisdom.Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn,to grow,and to love.
