   As we all know,life is very much beautiful and precious; therefore we should admire but value it. We should make our life richly and meaningful by working hard. Only in that way can we carry out our duties in life. Furthermore,we should be braver enough to meet the challenges and manage to overcome the difficulties and sadness we meet in your life. By doing so,we can make greater progresses in our field and enjoy our success and pleasure earning by ourselves. All in all,not only should we learn to enjoy the beauty of life now,but also we should learn how protect and fight against a more beautiful life in the future.

   Six months ago I made a rash(轻率的) promise. The leader of the youth 41 in our village rang me in March saying, “We’ re thinking of running a children's play program for a 42 in October half-term. Would you be prepared to 43 ?” My response was, “Sure,why not?” 44 I was a little flattered(荣幸的) to be asked,even though working as a care assistant with old people hardly 45 me for the role. Still,I put the date in my diary. Time flew and 46 I knew it,the day finally came.

   I arrived at the youth centre that morning feeling full of 47 . There were 12 helpers including me and each pair had been allocated(分配) a particular 48 group. Mine was the 10 to 11 year olds.

  All too quickly the children began 49 . A handful of them were already members of the club but the other forty-five were from the local primary schools. 50 I asked myself why I had decided to spend a day with all these “little monsters” 51 when I have two of my own!I needn't have 52 of course as it turned out to be a 53 day. We learned “action” songs,decorated biscuits and played memory games. I say because I rediscovered my inner 54 and joined in all the activities.

   The most 55 was the final performance of “He's got the whole world in his hands” in the 56 part of the day. The children knew the words and actions off by heart and sang so 57 it was almost enough to bring the roof down. It made you 58 to witness something so magical.

   There was one 59 for the children and that was that the play program was only running for a day,and not the whole week. As I said goodbye to my group,one of the children 60 and said “Can we do it again in the next holiday,Miss?” My response was, “Sure,why not?”

                       4 super-simple secrets to living longer,healthier and happier 

   Journalist Dan Buettner has spent over a decade studying the healthiest,longest-living people around the world,from residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa to the Greek island of Ikaria 一 so-called “Blue Zones”.

   Now,he's letting the rest of us in on their secrets in his new book,The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People. Here are the most important longevity-boosting habits of 100-year-olds around the globe. 36

1. Find your group

   “Who you hang out with beats just about everything else when it comes to your health/' says Buettner. He found that the people who live longest surround themselves with people who support healthy behaviors. 37

2. Eat smart 

   The world's healthiest 100-year-olds stick with diets that are 95percent plant-based,says Buettner.38 British researchers tracked 65 ,000 people for 12 years and found that those who ate seven or more portions of vegetables and fruits every day lowered their risk of dying from cancer and cardiovascular （心脑血管的) disease by 25 percent and 31 percent.

3. Seek a purpose 

  Very old Blue Zoners share another quality: They have an activity,passion or career that motivates them and gives their lives meaning. Sense of purpose can come from a variety of sources,but volunteering is a common one. 39

4. Move it 

   40 What is unexpected: “They don't exercise,per se (本质上) ，” says Buettner. “Instead,their lifestyles encourage physical activity.w They garden,bake bread and walk to the store or to work.

   A. “They eat a little meat,but mostly fish,” he says.

   B. They’ re still working,riding bikes,and enjoying life.

   C. For some people,a sense of purpose comes naturally.

   D. It's no surprise that physical activity also keeps Blue Zoners young.

   E. One explanation: “Health habits can spread like an infectious disease."

   F. Adopt even a few,and you’ 11 stand a better chance of living a long and healthy life.

   G. There's growing evidence that it not only keeps people healthier but helps people live longer.

   Try to imagine a world without noodles and you may begin to realize just how widespread this thin,tasty food has become. Discoveries in archaeology have proven it to be a surprisingly ancient food,dating back at least to 4000 B. C. Not surprisingly,however,given the noodle's widespread appeal and high status in more than a few culinary(烹任的) traditions,the claim to its invention is often a hotly contested subject.

   Many peoples have laid claim to its origination. Historically,both Italy and the Middle East have particularly battled for the title. Italian cooking is closely connected with the pasta noodle,but surprisingly the oldest recorded use of noodles in Italy only dates back to the 8th century,during the Arab conquest of Sicily,an island of Italy. This fact,along with the appearance of wheat flour in the Middle East around 5000 B. C., has led some to favor the Arab world as the more likely candidate to have first created noodles. However,recent evidence has cast some doubt on this theory,when the oldest known bowl of noodles was discovered in northwestern China.

   In 2002,a sealed bowl was unearthed from beneath ten feet of soil at the Lajia archaeological site,and found to contain a bowl of amazingly well-preserved noodles. After examination,scientists considered them to be about 4,000 years old. It was also determined that the noodles were not made of the wheat flour known at that time throughout the Middle East,but instead of two types of millet grain,which was widely grown tliroughout China as far back as 7,000 years ago.

   One of the most remarkable aspects of the find,however,as archaeochemist Patrick McGovern at the University of Pennsylvania points out,is the degree of skill required to fashion long,thin noodles like those found at Lajia. “This shows a fairly high level of food processing and culinary techniques,” he said.

   Although the Lajia discovery makes China home to the oldest known noodles,the origin of the noodle itself remains one of ancient history's many secrets.

29. There has been a worldwide debate over.

   A. what food is the oldest

   B. where the noodle was invented

   C. when the oldest food was discovered

   D. whether the noodle is the world's most popular food 

30. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2 ?

   A. Wheat flour may come from Sicily Island.

   B. People in the Arab world first made noodles.

   C. The first noodles were made in the 8th century.

   D. Italy is less likely to be the noodle's birthplace.

31. What can we learn about the noodles found in 2002?

   A. They were in good condition.

   B. They were made of wheat flour.

   C. They were made 7,000 years ago.

   D. They were discovered in the Middle East.

32. What did Patrick McGovern wonder at?

   A. The long history of the noodles.

   B. The unique way of storing food.

   C. The way the noodles were made.

   D. The value of the archaeological find.

   America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners) . It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.

   Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state,setting off a fierce new debate.

   A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo's proposal (提议) .

   Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York's prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.

   “You pay $60,000 for a prison cell for a year，”Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years,and that5 s $600,000. Right now,chances are almost half. Once he's set free,he's going to come right back."

   Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $5,000 a year per person. He argues ,“It's a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison."

   But even some members of the governor's own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell,whose upstate district includes three state prisons,says taxpayers just won't stand for inmates getting a free college education,while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids,college fees.

   “That is the vast majority of feedback(反馈) that I'm also getting from my constituents (选民） she says. “You know, ‘ Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law? ’ ”

   “I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes,who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994,President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.

   Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time,by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.

   “It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State."

32. The underlined word “rehabilitate” probably means “ ”. ,

   A. let people know more about prisoners

   B. help someone have a normal life again

   C. allow prisoners to experience the world

   D. encourage someone to help other people

33. What is the debate about?

   A. Lawmakers,rights in New York.

   B. College classes for New York's citizens.

   C. Higher education in New York's prisons.

   D. Punishments given to New York's criminals.

34. Cuomo does the calculations to prove .

   A. almost half of prisoners are likely to come back into prison

   B. college classes for inmates can save taxpayers’ money

   C. the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise

   D. it is very difficult to reduce the number of inmates

35. Most of Russell's constituents believe Cuomo's proposal .

   A. is unfair to middle-class families

   B. will benefit citizens obeying laws

   C. will be useless for improving prisons

   D. is based on most taxpayers’ feedback

   At any given time,hundreds of postcards are transit(运输中) across the world as strangers communicate through a movement called Post-crossing.

   Emma Delaney says it's a sad day when there isn’t a postcard in her mailbox. She doesn't have a bunch of friends travelling overseas at the moment —she's just really action in the underground hobby of Postcrossing.

   “I've sent over 3 ,000 postcards,but T ve been doing it for close to seven years,” she says. “My husband,generally appreciative of my hobby,is sometimes frustrated by the amount of cardboard hanging around the house or in my car."

   Postcrossing is a hobby where strangers send each other postcards across the world. You register on the website,list your interests and preferences for postcards,then receive an address of a stranger on the other side of the world to send a ppstcard to.

   “I tend to send a lot of postcards of the local area because people are interested in where you're from and what you do,” Emma says.

   From Uzbekistan to Belarus and Kazakhstan to Moldova,Emma has a growing collection of photos from around the world. The postcards have helped shape her international travelling too. “I didn't travel overseas until I was 32 and a lot of the locations we chose for our honeymoon were selected because of the postcards I'd received."

   “Some people see sending mail as being a bit boring and unfashionable,but Postcrossing is popular and lots of people are fascinated that I do it."

The Postcrossing project has just celebrated its eighth birthday and has over 400,000 active members in 215 countries. The group says they’ve delivered over 18 million postcards.

   And while postal workers aren't supposed to read people's postcards,Emma says she's happy for them to do so at her post office in Shellharbour. She even encourages her correspondents to say hello to the Australia Post staff.

   “It's a hobby that I continue to do because I find it enjoyable and relaxing."

   I'm walking around a street on Detroit's west side,looking at the house where my mother lived in the 1930s. A neighbor,understandably curious,bounds over.

   “I'm the king of Glendale,M Keith Harris says. Harris loves Glendale Street — so much so that he’s purchased nine properties for $42,000. “I'm.not done yet,” he says. “I'm going to buy more and rent them." I'm glad to hear this. Glendale could use more investment. So could Tuxedo Street,a few blocks away,where my father grew up. So could Detroit.

   I've seen all the photos showing Detroit in ruins. Now I've come to see for myself what's happened to what was America's fifth largest city around 1950. Then there were more than 1. 8 million residents(居民) ；now there are fewer than 700,000.

   This is where my family settled after immigrating to the United States in the 1920s,moving into neighborhoods fiiled witi people just like them.

   The handwritten 1940 census(人口 普查) page for Tuxedo Street literally illustrates the story: It shows a long list of Jewish names and the places from which Jews fled. The neighborhood was so insular （与世隔绝的) that when my American-bom mother went to kindergarten,she couldn't speak English.

   Those families don't live here anymore. Some houses have become empty lots. But some are tidy symbols of survival and pride. Keith Harris owns one of those homes. We have clean-up-the-block day,” he tells me. aWe are trying to make it better.w

   “Visitors like me walk these streets all the time,” he says, “Some people came and cried like babies." Maybe they shouldn't have. Though much is gone,there are seeds of hope across the city. Harris has planted some of those seeds. “We invest in this block,” he says, “because we want to stay."

21. Why does Keith Harris say he's the king of Glendale?

   A. He invests heavily in Glendale.

   B. He's a popular resident in Glendale.

   C. He knows everything about Glendale.

   D. He has the most attractive house in Glendale.

22. According to the text,Detroit .

   A. has a splendid history

   B. is able to bounce back

   C. has few houses for rent

   D. is attracting lots of visitors

23. What do we know about the author's mother?

   A. She had no gift for language.

   B. She lived in Tuxedo Street in the 1930s.

   C. She immigrated into the US in the 1920s.

   D. She had little access to other cultures as a kid.

24. Clean-up-the-block day was held to.

   A. maintain its Jewish style

   B. promote the image of Glendale

   C. brighten up local residents’ life

   D. set an example for the whole city

   “Don’t talk to strangers ...” That is probably one of the 41 pieces of advice handed down from our parents. Yeah,they 42 well. Since there are bad people out there,it seems to be a good idea in order to help 43 us. And over the years we’ve learned how to keep our eyes 44 . We are used to making no eye contact with strangers.

   45,the price that we pay for this 46 is that we grow up suspicious(表示怀疑的) of others and their motives. We tend to have a(n) 47 of strangers,which is neither necessary nor 48 as we grow older.

   Most people out there are not sociopaths （反社会者) .49,most people are quite 50 . What once protected us from bad people is now preventing us from establishing relationships with 51  people!

   In general,you know that the random stranger standing next to you is very 52 to kidnap (绑架) you,yet the emotion of fear is 53 associated with talking to them. So you 54 do it. But you miss out on a lot by closing yourself off to new people like this.

   Instead,you should actively 55 that people in general are fiiendly. Why? Because they are. Most people actually are nice. We are 56 creatures,and we welcome interactions with others. Think about it: when a stranger starts a(n) 57 with you,how do you usually 58 ?

   Besides,you never know who you might 59 . The person standing behind you in a line could one day be your best friend. It 60 . But even if it's not that extreme,you never know if that person has a job opportunity for you,or is just a cool person who you would enjoy having a brief conversation with.
