A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. About this, he told the following story.
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. she tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity, the bird threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit(咬) him in one of his feet and at that moment the bird flew away at once. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than the bird herself that had saved her life.

In this modern world, we rush around all day. There is no   48  for stillness.
And when we are 49  to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often find something to do. Being still isn’t something we’re  50 .
This comes at a   51  : we lose that time for  52 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And   53   yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around , but get nothing done.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you always  54 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be  55 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. Just be in the moment.

Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It's not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It's not because they're bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they're smart.
"Fish are sensitive, they have personalities," says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. "I would never eat anyone I know personally."
There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. "While it may seem conspicuous that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables," says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. "Really, it's kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?"
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. "I've never seen a smart fish," says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. "If they were very smart, they wouldn't get caught."
"For years, everyone's been telling us to eat fish because it's so good for us," says another diner. "Now I've got to feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?"
小题1:According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT ___________ .
A．Fish are sensitive and have personalities
B．He knows fish very well
C．Fish are dangerous to eat because the water is polluted
D．Fish are clever
小题2:Dr. Lynne Sneddon describes the behavior of eating fish in a(n) _______ tone.
A．opposedB．optimisticC．indifferentD．supportive
小题3:Which word below can take the place of the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4?
A．obviousB．easyC．impossibleD．necessary
小题4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________ .
A．Human beings should stop eating fish
B．We would feel guilty if we continued eating fish
C．People eat fish because fish are delicious
D．Cucumber is a kind of vegetable or fruit
小题5:What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?
A．To advise people to stop eating fish.
B．To introduce a topic of whether people should eat fish.
C．To advise people not to stop eating fish.
D．To tell us that fish will feel pain when caught and transported.

As I   42  around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for   43 .
He said “Good day” as he   44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could   45 .
I   46  felt the urge and actually hugged him. That was  47  I noticed all the eyes in the restaurant were set on  48 . I smiled and asked the waitress for two more breakfast meals on   49 trays(托盘). I then walked to the table that the men had   50  as a resting spot. I put the trays on the table and laid my  51 on the short man’s cold hand. He said “Thank you” with tears in his eyes.
I  52 this story as my project. My instructor read it and said, “Can I  53 this with your classmates?” I nodded. At that moment I found something more  54 than a simple smile. I graduated with one of the most important  55 I would ever learn, unconditional acceptance.

Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安乐死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “This isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小题1:According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
A．Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.
B．Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.
C．All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasia
D．If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.
小题2:The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are prepared to learn the news that         .
A．some other countries pass similar laws
B．Australia has to put an end to euthanasia
C．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia
D．different effects result from the game of dominoes
小题3:Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia?
A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life.
B． Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.
C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.
D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence.
小题4:It can be inferred from the text that          .
A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10
B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.
C．an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill
D．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen.
小题5:What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A．NegativeB．CriticalC．DoubtfulD．Positive
A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous. Late in the afternoon she gathered the    36  to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a    37 . The woman arrived home that evening to find a beautiful table   38  with their best dishes. Candles were softly burning. Her 39  had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had given him the information   40  , or··· did he just somehow know that she would not get the request  41 ?
She found him in the kitchen and    42     him the good news. They happily sat down to enjoy the wonderful    43    . Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered card which was her husband's 44  of writing. It read “Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”  45  The supper, her husband went into the kitchen to   46 . She noticed that a second 47    had fallen from his pocket.   48  it up off the floor, she read, “Don't worry about not getting the raise! But you   49    it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
Someone has said that the   50  of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total    51  and love, whether she succeeds or  52 . His love celebrates her victories and 53  her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throw in their direction..
Upon receiving the Nobel for 54 , Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to  55  to the world peace? Go home and love your family.” And love your friends. Love then without measure.
