I worked in a 2 doctor's office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run 3 than usual. It seemed I was going to be late 4 home and my husband, being a 5 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe if I hurried, I could still it home.

I was heading inside to 7 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 8 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just 9 a few minutes ago.

The young man at the counter was trying to be 10 in explaining how to get there，with two other people making 11 One of them was 12 trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would you like to follow me to the 13 ？"

A look of 14 crossed the woman's face.

"I'm going right by there," I said,which wasn't a 15since I had just made up my mind to do 16 that.

I got into my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 17 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 18 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.

Later, as I arrived home,my husband 19 me, "So you aren't ever late any more."

I said, "Sometimes it's 20 to be late.”

本文讲述了一个助人为乐的故事。作者在回家途中给车加油时，偶遇一对不知道去医院的路的老夫妇，并主动将他们送到医院后才回家。

1. D从倒数第三段最后一句话可以得知该答案。

2. D 从上文"I was tired and had a slight head?ache" 可以推断出作者很" 忙"。其他三项在文中没有依据。

3. A 从上文所描述的"the unexpected hap?pened" 和文章最后作者丈夫对她的取笑可以推断出，作者那天肯定是"较晚"离开诊所的。

4. A前面说过作者因诊所发生了意外的事而推迟下班，因此可以推断作者要晚"到家"。get home意为"到家"。

5. C下文说，作者的丈夫会说她又晚回了。只有"守时"的人才会批评他人迟到。punctual 意为"守时的"。

6. D作者认为，或许她抓紧时间，仍能准点到家。make it home意为"准点到家"。

7. A加完油需要付账。pay for意为"为…… 付账"。charge for表"为……要价"之意。

8. C从下文作者亲自将老夫妇送到医院的描述来看，老人肯定是在问去医院的"路线"。direction表"说明;指导"之意。

9. D前文"the same hospital"说明该医院肯定就是作者刚"离开"的那所医院。

10. B 从下文"explaining how to get there"的描述不难看出，柜台里的年轻人是想帮助老人的。

11. A上文说柜台里的年轻人试图告诉老人路线，下文说其中一人试图给出一个完全相反的路线。所以，另外两人是在对前者的描述进行评论。

12. C其中一人"甚至"试图提供一个方向相反的路线。

13. C前面已经提到"医院"，所以作者主动带老人去的地方只能是"医院"。

14. B有人主动提出帮忙解决难题会让人感到"宽慰"。

15.A从下文可知，作者的确下决心那么做，所以作者说她"I'm going right by there"不是在"撒谎"。

16. C作者下决心要做的就是那件事。

17. D因为是在加油站问路，所以可以断定老夫妇也是开着车的。作者在前面带路,肯定担心老人会没跟上。

18. B前面说只花了 15分钟就到了医院，说明路上拥堵现象不那么严重了。所以用die down表"逐渐消失"之意说明拥堵正开始消退。

19. A从丈夫说话的语气可知，他是在故意"取笑"作者。

20. C作者认为因为帮助他人而迟到并不为过。

This could be the perfect gift for the partner who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach you to dance, may be the an?swer for anyone with two left feet.

The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners im?prove their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately (精确地)re-cord not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)his/her performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibres (纤维)that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.

Sensors (传感器)record each movement and send it by an ankle trans?mitter (脚裸发射器)to a smart phone. Then a "virtual coach" application shows the information and can tell the users,what they are doing wrong, aijd help improve skills in any task with feet.

The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. "People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well," Dr Da vide Vigano said. A recent study showed that be?tween 60 and 80 per cent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf? or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.

Mr Vigano said, "People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.，，

Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around $ 120， which will go on sale in March.

12. What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?

A. People who are disabled.

B. People who are interested in dancing.

C. People who are not good at dancing.

D. People who invented the socks.

13. What's special about fibres that the socks are made of?

A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.

B. They can monitor the movements of feet.

C. They are expensive to produce.

D. They act as a smart phone for users.

14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?

A. They can improve the skill of running.

B. They can help women walk better in high heels.

C. They can teach people to dance well.

D. They can be worn for days without washing.

15. According to Dr Vigano, _______ .

A. everyone can make good use of the smart socks

B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks

C. 60 to 80 per cent of runners would like to buy the smart socks

D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks

English idioms(习语)are widely used,especially in the spoken language. Here are some examples for you. Do you know what they mean? By the skin of your teeth

If you just succeed in doing something and come very close to failing，people might say you do it "by the skin of your teeth". For example, you pass a test by just a few points or win a match by a little bit.

Ask for the moon

If someone tells you not to ask for the moon,they mean you can't ask for something that you cannot get or have，or try for something impossible. On cloud nine

This expression is used to describe how you feel when something good happens to you,such as when you win first prize in a competition，when you get an A in an exam，or when you receive a nice present from your parents which you want to get so much.

Sick as a dog

If you are feeling very ill,you may have used this expression. Dogs eat everything they find,which means they may easily get sick. So when people say that you are "sick as a dog"， don't feel strange or even angry because they don't mean to offend(冒犯)you.

Have your heart in your mouth

This expression means that you're really scared or nervous about something. The ancient Greek poet Homer used the expression when he wrote the famous poem The Iliad，and people have been using it ever since.

Traveling out for a short time always seems great fun. But one thing you must consider is packing. Here are some tips to help you pack.

Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. Keep the list for future reference(参考)-

Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo，toothpaste，and other items at your local shops. You can use the plastic container the next time you go away,too.

It's the best to be prepared and bring these items with you,but in an emergency, you can get them at the place you are going to. This is wonderful for light traveling (you'd be surprised at how much those little things can weigh you down) ，but remember that the time you spend buying things at the destination will reduce your visiting time.

It is the hardest thing to make a decision which clothes are suitable for the trip. Think once again from head to toe―hats,shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you have packed out what you wanted to bring with you,think carefully―do you really need that extra one? If so,fine,but make sure they are really worth the extra weight.

Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it is cold,you can wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt,and a T-shirt. Laying up will keep you warm,and it will leave more room in your bag. After all,you are just visiting, not moving in for good. You probably won't miss the extra sweater too much for a few days,and it certainly won't miss you.

( ) 1. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Some advice to help you pack for your travel.

C. How to make a decision about which clothes are suitable for the trip.

D. How to share things with your friends while traveling.

B. share everything with your friends while traveling

C. get those little things prepared and bring them with you

D. leave behind those little things if you get away for a short time

A. folding and laying one's clothes flat

B. squeezing most of your clothes into the bag

C. placing one's clothes together

D. wearing one's clothes one upon another

Last week,millions of Chinese viewers turned into CCTV 5 to watch two teams of men in colorful clothing chase a ball around a field. But the New England Patriots(爱国者队)and Caro?lina Panthers(黑豹队)were not playing soccer. They were competing for American football's greatest prize,the Super Bowl.
