19.My friend,Peg,and I were seeking evidence that there were people who were treating our soil,our waters,our air with the love and respect they deserved.And we found it.
One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing.The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest,and half-a-hundred children poured out.Busloads of children,of course,were not new,and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing.Chatting and laughing,the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area.They took the waste to their bus,where several bags had been brought out for the waste.
Within five minutes,before our astonished eyes,that parking lot had been picked clean.Impressed,I walked over to their teacher."I'm interested,"I began."In fact,I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over.Is this some kind of environment protection class?"
"You'd never guess it,"he said,"but we're a history class."
"A history class?"
"That's right.We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga.Before the trip,one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days,"he said."In fact,we made a little table display of the scene,using toy buildings and toy trees.When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real,the others blamed him.But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today.Besides,if they thought it was so funny,were they prepared to clean it up if he was right?The class decided,however,that the entire fort might be too big a task to do.But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort.And so that's what they did!"

25.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?A
A.Amazed.
B.Bored.
C.Disappointed.

9.A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C.I saw many of our nation's treasures,and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks(人们)in the streets.
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,"Can you help me?"When I turned around,I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出).In a natural reaction,I reached into my pocket,pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand.I didn't even look at her.I was annoyed(生气) at being bothered(烦) by a beggar.
But the blind woman smiled and said,"I don't want your money.I just need help finding the post office."
Immediately,I realized what I had do ne.I acted with prejudice(偏见)-I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.

In my own life,I have experienced many open acts of prejudice.I remember a time,at age 17-I was a busboy,and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school,he would end up like me.
But now,living in my American middle-class lifestyle,it is too easy to forget my past,to forget who I am and where I have been,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C.cured(治愈) me of my blindness.She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.

10.Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being.Let's give up some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves.
●(36)A
Even if you find yourself lacking in something,there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an unbelievable thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor,who took eight years to recover from her illness and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.
●No one cares about me.
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures,but it's the little things they did for you that count.(37)EStart showing people you care,so they can show you back in kind.
●I really dislike this person.
If you dislike a person,focusing on his had qualities is not going to make things better.You need to know that he is human too,which means he makes mistakes.(38)FFocus on his good qualities,and repeat them to yourself.
●Why is he better off?.
(39)DThere's always going to be someone who is younger,prettier,smarter,or richer than you.Remember,there are people who are also worse off than you and what they don't have is your whole package.(40)B

A.I'm not good enough.
B.Be grateful for what you have.
C.You think you won't be able to"get there".
D.Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive.
E.And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out.
F.Learn to approach him or think about him in a positive manner.
G.Keep on working toward something,and watch the leaps you'll make.

Speaking before today's launch,Mr.Johnson said he was determined to(76)B the anti-social behavior of a‘minority of youngsters'on public transport.
‘When I was a boy,I was taught to stand up for those less able to,'he said,‘Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel,which is paid for by Londoners,but they have to understand that with that privilege comes(77)D.Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away,and will have to earn that right back.'
Teenagers found (78)C a serious breach(违反) of the new behavior code will lose their travel passes,and will have to carry out unpaid community work to have them(79)B.
Mr.Johnson is also introducing a‘two strikes and you're out'policy to deal with offenders,under which those committing a second serious breach of the code will lose their travel rights (80)B.
The move follows an earlier initiative of Mr Johnson's that banned the(81)D of alcohol on public transport in the capital,which is credited with helping to(82)C crime rates on buses and trains.
