Malka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don't see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.
Malka had just given birth to another son. Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work, doctor's visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.
Malka knew her sister's problem and was quite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the haptismal (洗礼) ceremony,of course.
On the day of the haptism, Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka's mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the hall. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.
Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister you are! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”
Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation(控诉) had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn't calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She couldn't look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.
The minute the words had escaped Yehudit's mouth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddenly turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …
(1)Shaindle didn't visit her sister after her sister gave birth because__________.
A.she was jealous of her sister
B.she lived far from her sister
C.she was too busy to visit her
D.she didn't feel quite herself
(2)The underlined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means________.
A.make fun of somebody
B.hurt somebody deeply
C.meet somebody by accident
D.be impolite to somebody
(3)We can learn from the last paragraph that_____________.
A.Shaindle didn't forgive Yehudit for many years
B.Shaindle burst out anger at Malka's mother-in-law
C.Yehudit didn't realize how her words could affect Shaindle
D.Shaindle couldn't get rid of the bad memory for many years
(4)The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___________.
A.words sometimes can really hurt us
B.sisters should care for each other
C.we should forget unpleasant things
D.two sisters' different experiences

【答案】
(1)C
(2)B
(3)D
(4)A
【解析】本文通过一个家庭故事,告诉人们注意无心之言对他人的伤害。人们常常在不经意间说出了一些无心之言,但是,正是这些话可能会造成无法挽回的伤害。

⑴细节理解。根据第二段第二、三句Shaindle,married for three years and still childless,was receiving fertility (生育) treatments.Involved with work,doctor's visits,and medical treats,she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.可知,谢恩德勒由于结婚多年没有生育,当时正在接受生育治疗。忙于工作、看病和治疗使她无暇去看望她的姐姐。所以答案是C。

⑵词义猜测。根据第七段中felt regretted for her words –but it was too late为她说的话感到后悔——但是这太迟了。可知她的话深深地伤害了某人。所以答案是B。

⑶ 推理判断。根据最后一段最后三句Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. 她道歉的企图是无效的。 The celebration had suddenly turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …根据最后一段可知,耶胡迪特的话一出口,她就意识到她超过了底线,道歉都已经无法挽回。尤其根据最后一句可以推断,这次不愉快的经历多年后谢恩德勒都没有摆脱。所以答案是D。

⑷ 推理判断。文章通过前面的故事在最后一段进行了点题,无心之言伤人心痛。所以答案是A。

People aren't walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior(不为……所动) about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was brought up in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced -–and beat-—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
(1)What is the national sickness?
A.Walking too much
B.Traveling too much
C.Driving cars too much
D.Climbing stairs too much.
(2)What was life like when the author was young?
A.People usually went around on foot.
B.people often walked 25 miles a day
C.People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D.people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
(3)The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that______.
A.middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B.walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C.people need regular exercise to keep fit
D.going on foot prevents heart disease
(4)What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A.To tell people to reflect(思考) more on life.
B.To recommend people to give up driving
C.To advise people to do outdoor activities
D.To encourage people to return to walking

Ebola is a dangerous virus that can cause people to get very sick and even die. The virus is causing the biggest problems in western Africa, where it has spread quickly. But it can get worse and cause life-threatening symptoms(症状), such as bleeding and trouble breathing.

Ebola does not spread like colds or the flu because it does not float through the air. Ebola also doesn't spread through food or water, like some other viruses. Instead, Ebola spreads when someone touches the body fluids(液体) of a sick person.

An outbreak is when many people are getting sick with the same illness around the same time. You may have heard of a flu outbreak, which is when lots of people get sick from the same types of flu virus. When an outbreak happens because of a virus, more people could get sick because there is a lot of that virus around.
Where did Ebola come from?
Scientists aren't sure how the first person gets Ebola at the start. Tropical animals in Africa believed to carry the virus include great apes, chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, fruit bats, porcupines, and forest antelopes.
What do kids need to do about Ebola?
Ebola is making many people sick in Africa, but no matter where you live, it's always a good idea to wash your hands well and often.

B. But they think that people may pick up the virus by touching or eating infected animals.

F. What is an outbreak?
G. Keeping hands clean can help protect you from common illnesses like colds and the flu.

“He who bears the greatest hardship becomes the greatest man.” This idiom shows Chinese people’s traditional belief in the vital role that hardship plays in a person’s life as they grow up. But today, as our lives have greatly improved, do we still need this so-called “hardship education”?

“We definitely do.” said Wang Weiqiong, mother of a 15-year-old girl in Jiangxi. “Many children take everything for granted, as they’ve never known how difficult it is to make money.”

Wang is not alone. According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily, 81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas, outdoor training, taking part-time jobs, and doing housework.

Qiao Yu, from Tianjing Foreign Languages School, also supports the idea. “Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society,” said the 18-year-old, who worked in a cake store this summer.

But while it contributes to students’ development, “hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer,” Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily. “It should follow teenagers’ growth” Sun said students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sporting can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “” Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.
A. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.
B. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
C. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
D. Anger may cause you a cancer.
E. Do not express your anger while angry.
F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
G. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(校园欺凌). She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times.
Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.
“I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.
Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”
Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”
Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they'd treated poorly —was bruised(瘀伤的) beneath its skin.
“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”
Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.
“Let's create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”
(1)What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?
A.She had introduced it to the kids.
B.She had coloured it brightly.
C.She had made it look perfect.
D.She had damaged it purposely.
(2)What does the underlined part “calling it names” (Para. 3) mean?
A.Shouting at it.
B.Making fun of it.
C.Cheering for it.
D.Saying rude things.
(3)What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?
A.Drop it.
B.Praise it.
C.Ignore it.
D.Respect it.
(4)What's the purpose of the teacher's using two apples in class?
A.To draw the kids' attention.
B.To explain her personal preferences.
C.To help the kids understand the results of bullying.
D.To make a comparison between them.
