After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you   31 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had  32 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without   33 , you went over and   34  the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you   35  threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kid will really enjoy   36  this.”
Last week, a young man   37  me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have   38  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much   39  is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car   40  he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15   41 , which came to a little over $20. That is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and   42  you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so   43  and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s   44  to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the   45  and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

It was a cold winter's night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work.I was tired and had a slight   21 
I worked in a   22  doctor's office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run   23  than usual.It seemed I was going to be late   24  home and my husband, being the   25  person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe  26  I hurried, I could still make it home.
I was heading inside to   27  for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter, I heard them asking for   28  to the local hospital.It was the same hospital that I had just   29  a few minutes ago.
The young man at the counter was trying to be   30  in explaining how to get there, with two other people making   31 .One of them was   32  trying to give them a whole different route back.It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would you like to follow me to the  33  ?"
A look of  34  crossed the woman's face.
"I'm going right by there," I said, which wasn't a( an)   35  since I had just made up my mind to do  36  that.
I got in my car and began the journey back.I was trying to watch to be sure they were right  37  me.I took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to   38 .I felt better than I had all day and my headache was   39  gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband teased, "So you aren't ever late any more."
"Sometimes it's  40   to be late," I said, happy inside my heart.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to  16 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 17 we realized we were   18  . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so   19  because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   20  seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.   21  I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I   22   I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just   23   out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.
My conscience( 良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t  24 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and   25   for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I  26  to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream for   27   that someone would say, “ Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change   28   the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so   29  of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was   30  of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “ Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this   31 . Maybe I was a fool for   32 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a   33  pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience   34  up with you.
This reflect the saying, “ A coward(懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ 35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

In the winter vocation of 2008, I was fixed with a job. I worked as a(n) 21  at Mr Breen’s  fruit shop. The fruit shop did good business. Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighborhood, 22_ he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars. Mr Breen 23 them all by names and they sometimes even had their order already made up, always 24  me to carry it out to their car. They were clearly longstanding customers, and I 25 they must have stayed faithful to him because he had  promised to sell good quality fruits. He had a way with them---- I had to 26  that. He called every woman “madam” for a start, 27 those who clearly were not, but when he said it, it did not sound like flattery(恭维). It just sounded 28  in an old-fashioned way. He was a great chatter  29 . If he did not know them, he would greet them with a few  30  about the weather,  31 he did, he would ask about their families or make  32 , always cutting his cloth 33  his customers. Whatever their bills came to, he 34  gave them back the few odd pence(零钱), and I was sure they thought he was very generous. But I thought he was the opposite. He never threw anything away. He was always looking for  35 for nothing.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘Super Girl’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking (排名).
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’ compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
小题1: By writing the article, the writer tries to ________.
A.explain some Internet languageB.suggest common Internet language
C.laugh at the Beijing fatherD.draw our attention to Internet language
小题2:What does the writer think about the term “PK”?
A.Fathers can’t possibly know it.B.The daughter should understand it.
C.Online game players may know it.D.“Super Girl” shouldn’t have used it.
小题3: The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________.
A.are used not only onlineB.can be understood very well
C.are welcomed by all the peopleD.cause trouble to our mother tongue
小题4:The underlined word “jargons” probably means  ________.
A.expressionsB.phrasesC.lettersD.spellings
小题5: What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A puzzled fatherB.Do you speak Internet jargons?
C.Keep away from Internet jargonsD.Kong Long or Qing Wa?

Air pollution is damaging 60% of Europe’s prime wildlife sites in meadows, forests and bushes, according to a new report.
A team of EU scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. It’s the second report this week warning of the on-going risks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world.
Emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排气), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. The reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: It can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix of species. But primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow.
In effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.
The effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. They harm more delicate species like mosses(苔藓), and insect-eating sundew plants.
The report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. The report’s lead author, Dr Kevin Hicks from the University of York’s Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), told BBC News that England’s Peak District had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.
“Nitrogen creates a rather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention,” he said. “Governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.”
He said more research was needed to understand the knock-on effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms.
At the conference, the representatives agreed “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen”. The document highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.
小题1:The underlined word “menace” is used to express that the reactive nitrogen, largely produced by human activity can be ___________.
A.frighteningB.threateningC.uniqueD.unusual
小题2: We can infer from the passage that _________.
A.it’s harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmosphere
B.reactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than crops
C.the harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversity
D.reactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity
小题3: The team of EU scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when __________.
A.no action was taken to stop nitrogen emission
B.governments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogen
C.“The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen” was agreed
D.nitrogen emissions were threatening wildlife sites’ biodiversity
小题4: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Keeping Away From Nitrogen EmissionsB.Stopping Nitrogen Emissions
C.Air Pollution Damaging Europe’s WildlifeD.Saving Europe’s Wildlife
Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism(批评)from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback(反馈)to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.
小题1:According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that       
A.it can help them learn more about society
B.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
C.it enables them to find flaws in themselves
D.it can provide them with valuable experiences
小题2:According to the passage parents and coaches should       
A.help children to win every game
B.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
C.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
D.train children to deal with stress
小题3:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is        
A.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
B.to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children
C.to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement
D.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
