8.The notice was posted next to the guests'mailboxes in the apartment building I'd just moved into in Brooklyn,New York."A Mitzvah for Mrs.Green,"it read."Sign up to drive Mrs.G in 3B home from her chemotherapy treatments twice a month."
Since I wasn't a driver,I couldn't add my name,but the word mitzvah stayed in my thoughts after I went upstairs.It's a Hebrew word that means"to do a good deed".
And according to my grandmother,it also had another meaning.This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she'd noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me.Linda,it's a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else,but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you."
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now.Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left,but I'd said I could manage.Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class.I put on two sweaters,a coat,a wool hat and boots,making for the bus stop.In this December storm it was a hard journey.As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted for me,I could almost hear her voice:"Why don't you see if you can find a lift?"
A thousand reasons came into my mind:I don't know,my neighbors; I don't like to disturb others; I feel funny asking for favors.Pride would not let me knock on a door and say,"It's a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus,and it's a 30-minute bus ride,so could you possibly give me a lift to school?
I labored to the bus stop,reaching it just as a bus went by.
Three weeks later,on the night of my final exam,the snow was falling steadily.I made my way to the bus slop.For an hour,I stretched my neck,praying desperately that a bus would come.Then I gave up.The wind at my back pushed me toward home,and I prayed,"Dear God,how can I get to school?What should I do?
As I pulled Grandma's scarf more tightly around my neck,again I seemed to hear that whisper:Ask someone for a lift!It could be a mitzvah.
That idea had never really made sense to me.And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed,which I did not,there wasn't a soul on the street.
But as I pashed the door of my apartment building open,I found myself face to face with awoman at the mailbox.She was wearing a brown coal and had a set of keys in her hand.Obviously she had a car,and just as obviously,she was going out.In that split second,desperation overcame pride,I blurted,"Could you possibly give me alift?I hurriedly explained,"I never ask anybody for a lift,but…"
An odd look crossed the woman's face,and I added,"Oh!I live in 4R.I moved in recently."
"I know,she said."I've seen you through the window."Then,without hesitation,"Of course,I'll give you a lift.Let me get my car key."
"Your car key?"I repeated."Isn't that it in your hand?"
She looked down."No,no,I was just going to get my mail.I'll be right back."And she disappeared upstairs,ignoring my"Ma'am!Please!I don't mean to put you out!"I was terribly embarrassed.
But when she came back,she spoke so warmly that I stopped feeling uncomfortable."You know the way better than I,"she said."Why don't you drive?"
"I can't,"I said.Now I felt uneasy again.
She just laughed and patted me on the hand,saying,"It's not so important,"and then I laughed,too.
"You remind me of my grandmother,"I said.
At that,a slight smile crossed her lips."Just call me Grandma Alice.My grandchildren do."
When she dropped me off,I thanked her again and again and stood there waving as she drove away.My final exam was a piece of cake compared with the difficult experience I'd gone through to get to it,and asking Grandma Alice for help had relaxed me so that after class I was able to ask easily,"Is anyone going my way?"It turned out that while I'd been waiting for a bus every night,three fellow students passed my apartment house."Why didn't you say something before?"they chorused.
Back home as I walked up the stairs.I passed Grandma Alice leaving her neighbor's apartment."Good night,Mrs.Green.See you tomorrow,"the neighbor was saying.
Mrs.Green,the woman with cancer."Grandma Alice"was Mrs.Green.
I stood on the stairs,my hand covering my mouth:I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school."Oh,Mrs.Green,I stammered,"I didn't realize who you were.Please forgive me."
I forced my legs to move me up the stairs.In my apartment,I stood still,not taking my coat off.How could I have been so insensitive?In a few seconds,someone tapped on my door.Mrs.Green stood there.
"May I tell you something?"she asked.I nodded slowly,motioning her toward a chair,sinking down onto my couch."I used to be so strong."she said.She was crying."I used to be able to do things for other people.Now everybody keeps doing things for me,giving me things,cooking my meals and taking me to places where I want to go.It's not that I don't appreciate it,but I don't have chances.Tonight before I went out to get my mail,I prayed to God to let me feel like part of the human race again.Then you came along…"

6.Let's face it--there are lots of reasons to hate McDonald's:calories,cholesterol and,for me at least,that sickening feeling after munching (大口咀嚼) on McNuggets.Then there's always that childish salesman at the drive-through(免下车通道) who forgets the ketchup.
Well,add one more reason to spite McDonald's:as the global economy spirals downward,McDonald's is minting money."In the worst of times for the restaurant industry,it's the best of times for McDonald's,"says Butt Flickinger III,managing director of the Strategic Resources Group,a retail-consulting company.In fact,the company's sales have increased for 55 straight months.Profits grew 11% to $1.2 billion.
The pricing of McDonald's,highlighted by dollar-menu items like apple pies,side salads and yogurt,plus cheap combo meals is a key strength during the recession.In particular,consumers are fleeing casual,family chain restaurants for the convenience and savings of fast food.
The economy is not the only reason people are drawn to McDonald's.The company's management also deserves credit for its success.Back seven years ago,America's obesity was a hot topic,and McDonald's suffered from the strong negative reaction.Changeless food and shabby stores also kept people away."McDonald's was actively persuading customers from coming back,"says John Glass,a Morgan Stanley analyst.
Since that time,McDonald's have remodeled 11,000 stores.At a neat and clean restaurant in the Bronx one weekday evening,Brian Waters,a mailman,sat with his 9-year-old son in a booth.The bright dining area featured abstract paintings of New York City's bridges and the Statue of Liberty."It used to be dark and dull in here,"Waters says."Now it's nice and clean.I don't mind sitting here anymore."Stores have also extended hours:34% of the company's 14,000 U.S.restaurants are now open 24/7.
The menu got an upgrade too.Obscene"super-size"choices were phased out,and healthier options like apples and salads were added.The company changed its coffee blend; coffee sales have soared 70% over the past two years.Chicken McNuggets now consist solely of white meat,which has less fat and fewer calories than the darker-meat mix of old.
Like any other business in this environment,McDonald's faces some potential roadblocks.As the recession wears on,fast-food-service growth may flatten out;plus,McDonald's can expect more price competition.For example,Steak‘n Shake,the diner-style burger chain in 21 states throughout the Midwest and South,is promoting four different meal combos for less than $4."In Los Angeles,every other billboard is a 99-cent food price,"says Glass.The battle for bargain-hunting eaters is on.But given its recent winning ways,McDonald's might just add a few more billion consumers.

24.One of the reasons why the author hates McDonald's is thatD
A.there are always kids messing around in the restaurant.
B.The salesclerk always forget to clean up the drive-through
C.Children always leave the ketchup at the drive-through
D.Some salesclerk always forgets to give him the ketchup
25.What is the key for McDonald's success even during the global economic downturnA
A.Its pricing policy.
B.Its managing policy
C.Its dollar-menu items
D.Its cheap combo meals
26.What happened to McDonald's seven years ago,according to John Glass?C
A.It suggested that fast food not be abused.
B.It persuaded customers to eat elsewhere
C.The size of its customers was shrinking
D.Customers had more expectation on it
27.When the battle for bargain-hunting eaters is on,the author expects that McDonald's will most probablyD
A.Increase its management expenses
B.Open more chain restaurants
C.Have to cut its prices sharply
D.Gain more customers.
13.In early societies,people relied on a simple system of exchange(交换).Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skins than he could use.His neighbor,a good fisherman,might have too many fish but needed furs to protect his children from the cold.Both soon realized that their problems could be easily solved by exchanging what they did not need for what they did need.This method of exchange is called barter.The word comes from the Italian barattare and the French barater,which mean"to trade."
As societies developed,people in ancient times turned to many different things in the search for a good way of exchange,or money.One of the earliest forms of money was cattle (牛).The richest person was the one who owned the most farm animals,such as cows and sheep.Cattle were called capitale in Latin,and from that Latin word we get the English word"capital,"meaning"wealth."
But people came to realize that this new method often failed to produce satisfactory results.A cow or a sheep must be fed and cared for.Sometimes they died of disease.Some animals were fat and some were thin.A person who wanted to sell something might believe that it was worth much more than one cow.The buyer might not be willing to give the seller two.Paying a cow and a half was certainly not a good way to solve the problem.
When people began to trade with people who lived far away,again a new way of exchange had to be found.Soon such things as grain (谷物) and salt came into use.They could be weighed exactly.They could be stored and transported easily.Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt.And it is from salarium,the Latin word for"salt money,"that our own word"salary (薪水)"comes.We still speak of people as not being worth their salt if they do not do their jobs well.

33.The buyer in Paragraph 3 probably feltB.
A.his cows were healthy and fat     
 B.using cows as money had disadvantages
C.the price set by the seller was too high    
D.he should give the seller sheep instead of cows
34.The performance of someone worth his salt isD.
A.worrying         
B.surprising           
C.Disappointing     
D.satisfying
35.The text probably comes from an article aboutA.
A.the history of money          
B.the development of society
C.simple systems of exchange   
D.some interesting Latin words.
3.In much of Asia,especially the so-called"rice bowl"cultures of China,Japan,Korea(61)andVietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long,thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic,animal bone or metal.Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic.Truly elegant chopsticks might(62)be made(make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters.Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal(63)to create(create) special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.People probably cooked their food in large pots.(64)using(use) twigs (树枝) to remove it.Over time.(65)as/whenthe population grew,people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which (66)gradually(gradual) turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius.(67)who lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C.,influenced the (68)development(develop) of chopsticks.Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and (69)were(be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.In India,for example,most people traditionally eat (70)withtheir hands.
10.Jennifer Lawrence,25,is known for being d.own"to"earth and likable-she ordered McDonald's on the red carpet at the Oscars.
And when she described her anger and disappointment at the fact that women are not equal to men in Hollywood,Lawrence"continued to make America fall in love with her",said Business Insider.
Earlier this year,an E-mail from film company Sony Pictures showed that Lawrence and Amy Adams made less money for American Hustle(2013)than their male(男性) co*stars,even though both women played major roles in the movie.
In an article published in Lenny Letter,a popular e-mail newsletter,Lawrence wrote"I'm trying to find the‘adorable(可爱的) way to state my opinion and still be likable'!"
Lawrence joins a long list of actresses,including Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett,who have spoken up about Hollywood's pay gap.
According to Forbes,the 10 highest paid movie actors in 2015,led by Robert Downey Jr,made$431 million.But the 10 highest paid movie actresses,led by Lawrence,only made about $218 million.The pay gap comes partly from the low number of actresses.According to a report in August,only 28.1 percent of characters in 2014's 100 top grossing(高票房的) films were female(女性) and of them,only 21 percent had a female lead or co-lead character.
"People with more experience are paid more,"Nancy Dubue,the president CEO of A+E Networks,told Variety,"The problem is that the industry still gives too many men that experience."
The pay gap is a problem that affects the whole US,The White House reported that women earn 78 cents to every dollar a man gets there.
"This is what made Lawrence's piece powerful:it showed that women still experience pay inequality everywhere-whether you're Hollywood's top talent or you work in a retail store,"commented CNN.
As Lawrence points out,it's not just about less payment for women; it's also about women making sure that their pay shows their value.

C.a great many actresses have spoken up about Hollywood's pay gap

7.Brain activity may continue for more than 10 minutes after the body appears to have died,according to a new study.
Researchers had previously thought that brain activity ends before or shortly after the heart stops beating.But a team of doctors affiliated with the University of Western Ontario in Canada has documented a case in which a patient continued to experience brain wave activity for about 10minutes after he had been announced clinically dead (or brain dead).
The unusual circumstance came about as the team in Canada was conducting routine research regarding the process of death in humans.As four terminal patients were removed from life support,their vital signs(生命体征) were monitored for a length of time.Three of the patients stopped sending brain signals almost immediately after their hearts stopped,but the fourth instead began producing signals that are normally seen in a person that is in a very deep sleep-delta waves-and continued to do so for 10minutes and 38seconds.
In the case,doctors confirmed their patient was dead through a range of the normal observations,including the absence of a pulse(脉搏) and unreactive pupils(瞳孔).They also conducted a series of tests to make sure all of the equipment was working fine.After finding no problems,they reported that they had no explanation for what they had observed.
Scientists not involved with the research are cautious to draw any sort of conclusions since the phenomenon only occurred in one of four test patients.
What happens to the body and mind after death remains almost entirely mysterious to scientists.Two other studies last year,for instance,showed that genes appeared to continue functioning-and even function more energetically-in the days after people die.
What?s really going on?That?s the rational question following this latest brain activity study.

32.Previously,brain activity was thought toA.
A.end as the heart stops.
B.last much longer than heart beat.
C.stop in a very deep sleep.
D.prevent genes functioning.
33.What was special about the fourth patient after death?B
A.His pupils made no reaction.
B.His brain waves were monitored.
C.He had no pulse already.
D.His life support wasn?t removed.
34.What?s the scientists?attitude towards this observation?C
A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Careful.D.Uninterested.
35.Why does the writer mention the other two studies done last year?D
A.To express dissatisfaction with the scientists?work.
B.To encourage scientists to do more brain studies.
C.To invite the readers to give more such examples.
D.To show brain activity after death remains a mystery.

Dear editor,
Recently students of our school have made the survey of"Views on Newspapers".The people interviewed held two different opinions.45% of them enjoy reading newspapers.First of all,as a convenient source of information,reading newspapers is not limited by time.Additional,reading also makes people to think,which helps develop people's intelligence.Moreover,people can read whatever section they are interested.
However,55% of the people don't turn to newspapers for many information.They hold the idea that newspapers don't catch people eye because they lack the sound and video what make other sources of information more exciting.What's more,readers receive information from newspapers late than from the internet and TV.
Personally,people can make use of whatever means to gather information as long as it's convenient for us.
Yours,
Li Hua.
