For each ride,Old Uncle should charge me five yuan.However,he insisted on accepting only four from me.In our conversations,he told me to always have a good heart,to be a good student,child and person. 3 More movingly,every time he took me to school,he asked whether I had eaten breakfast and would try to offer me biscuits.

Old Uncle was one of the early people who led me to explore pain and suffering, unintentionally and naturally,through stories and giving.He didn’t complain(抱怨)about the hardships he had suffered in life.4 Ten years later as I thought back to the scene,I came to realize that Old Uncle and I shared space,and connected through our spirit.5

【题目】An environmental group called the FoodCommission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled waterfrom Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “foodmiles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway acrossthe world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty ofwater in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buyingprawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveleddone by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of theenvironmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the worldon container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticedthat a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ marketdoesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar producttransported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignoresthe amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your foodmiles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. Thedifference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouseand the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of “food miles” doesprovide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from FirstWorld food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I seeit, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a signof damage to the environment.
(1)The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.
A.UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B.some imported goods causes environmental damage
C.growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D.people wasted energy buying food from other countries
(2)The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________.
A.that a food product travels to a market
B.that a food product travels from one market to another
C.between UK and other food producing countries
D.between a Third World country and a First World food market
(3)By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.
A.British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B.Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C.cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D.protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
(4)From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.
A.a supporter of free global trade
B.a member of a Food Commission
C.a supporter of First World food markets
D.a member of an energy development group

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock Here is how to make one.
In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.That's a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.

【题目】阅读理解
C
Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. “What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's actually color, and it's actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it's the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans,gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”
(1)Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A.To remember the birth of jazz.
B.To protect cultural diversity.
C.To encourage people to study music.
D.To recognize the value of jazz.
(2)What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Jazz becoming more accessible.
B.The production of jazz growing faster.
C.Jazz being less popular with the young.
D.The jazz audience becoming larger.
(3)What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz?
A.It will disappear gradually.
B.It remains black and white.
C.It should keep up with the times.
D.It changes every 50 years.
(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Exploring the Future of jazz.
B.The Rise and Fall of jazz.
C.The Story of a jazz Musician.
D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.

【题目】How to Survive Exam Stress

Exam time is one of the most stressful in school, whether it is high school, college or graduate school. Even the best students feel the pressure. The first sign of a problem while preparing for an exam is worry. 1 If we can get rid of worries, or at least control them, then we're in a much better position to do well on our tests. Take the following steps to survive exam stress and increase your overall performance as a result.

2 What causes you anxiety when you are studying? Too much noise? Then move to a quieter place. Delayed work? Catch up with your studies a couple nights before. That way you can save the final night before the exam to review and get a good night of sleep.

The second way to deal with worry is to displace thoughts. Suppose you wake up at three in the morning and you're worried about an exam. What do you do? 3 Doing something productive might allow you to sleep better when you finally do go back to bed.

Another way to displace negative thoughts is to do something physically active. Work out. Take a quick walk or a nice run. 4 For example, I might worry about the exam having surprise questions that I'm not prepared to answer. But I can shove those thoughts aside by reminding myself that I've taken many exams and I've handled surprise questions before.

The third option is to treat the symptoms. Keep things in perspective. Think of one final exam that causes you the most anxiety. Now think of the worst thing that could happen. If you've prepared, then likely the worst grade you could get is a C. And, if you've been applying what we've been talking about, then you'll likely to do no worse than a B. 5

A. How bad is that really?

B. The first is to delete the causes.

C. Another idea is to think positive thoughts.

D. Worry robs us of energy, focus and motivation.

E. How about getting up and studying for an hour?

F. What we should do is to think positively and get rid of it.

G. So just face the result bravely and make an effort to improve your grade.
