16．It all began with a stop at a red light．
    Kevin Saiwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006．While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal．"Hannah protested．The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （纠缠）her parents about inequity，insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"SelI our house？"
    Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds （收入）to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
    Eventually，that's what the family did．The project--crazy，impetuous （鲁莽的）and absolutely inspiring--is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month：The Power of Half．It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street．
    At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，it described neurological （神经学的）evidence from brain scans （扫描）that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
    Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

B．Unless a child is realistic，never give any promise．
C．Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable．
D．Don't respond to a child's demands without consideration．

2．Over time I have been changed quite a lot．I began （56）as a calculating machine in 1642．It took nearly two hundred years（57）before I was built as an analytical machine．Then in 1936Alan Turing wrote a book and built a universal machine to solve any difficult mathematical problems．From then on，I grew rapidly both in sizes and brainpower．By the 1970s，I （58）had grown （grow）as large as a room and I wonder if I would grow any larger．（59）However，this reality also worried my designers．Luckily，（60）with  time going by，I have been made smaller．And I （61）have been used （use） in offices and homes since the 1970s．
These changes would not be possible without my improved memory，（62）which became so large that I couldn't believe it．In the early1960s，they gave me a family（63）connected（connect） by a network，enabling us to share my knowledge with others．Since the 1970s，many new （64）applications （apply） have been found for me and I have become important in many fields．I am now （65）truly （true） filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race．

6．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently．（16）C．
    First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.17E．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
   Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated by limited understanding．（18）A．
   Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay re laxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times．
●Do not translate everything into your native language．
●（19）B．Don't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas．
●Listen to something you enjoy．
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually r esulted in confusion．（20）G．Firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said．

A．What should you do？
B．Listen for the general idea of the conversation．
C．But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!
D．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E．So，what you need to do is to find listening resources．
F．However，after several weeks，I got used to the new environment in Germany．
G．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two extremely important facts．
16．Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast？Recently a test was given in the United States．Those tested included people of different ages，from 12 to 83．During the experiment，these people were given all kinds of breakfasts，and sometimes they got no breakfast at all．Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast．The results showed that if a person eats a proper breakfast，he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains．If a student eats fruit，eggs，bread and milk before going to school，he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class．Contrary to what many people believe，if you don't eat breakfast，you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch，and end up gaining some weight instead of losing some．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals．
21．During the test，those who were tested were givenD．
A．no breakfast at all              
B．a very rich breakfast
C．little food for breakfast        
D．different breakfasts or none
22． The results of the test showed thatA．
A．breakfast has a great effect on work and study
B．breakfast has little to do with a person's work
C．a person w ill work better if he has a simple breakfast
D．those working with brains should have a lot for breakfast
23． The passage infers that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast，you willA．
A．lose weight              
B．not lose or gain weight
C．be healthier              
D．gain a lot of weight
24． Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．Poor breakfasts affect those who work with their brains．
B．Having no breakfast may cause one to get fatter．
C．Having a big lunch and supper is of great value in weight-losing．
D．Eating less for lunch and supper may help to lose weight．
3．How many times have you laughed today？Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh？In the whole animal kingdom，only we humans are capable （有能力的） of laughter．On average，we laugh about 17times a day．
Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant．Have you noticed that when you laugh，many parts of your body respond （反应）？Your face changes expression，your breathing changes，and muscles throughout your body are affected．
An interesting story dates back to 1962．In a school in Tanganyika，in Africa，a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke．This laughter became epidemic （传染的），jumping from one person to the next，spreading across communities，and lasting for six months!So strong was the"laughter epidemic"that schools had to shut down till it ended．
How we laugh remains a mystery．Whatever the reasons，laughter，as the saying goes，"is the best medicine．"In fact，science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses．
Laughing exercises all the important muscles，and keeps you fit．People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses．They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together．Laughter spreads，so this exercise works best in groups； once one person starts laughing，others automatically （自动地） join in．
32．The underlined word"spontaneous"in the second paragraph probably means"B"．
A．perfect            
B．natural          
C．strange           
D．terrible
33．People have formed laughter clubs toD．
A．kill time          
B．relax         
C．meet others        
D．keep healthy
34．The best title for the passage would beC．
A．A Laughter Epidemic
B．How Laughter Helps Cure Disease
C．Laughter，What It Is，and What It Can Do
D．The Relationship Between Laughter and Health
35．The passage is probably taken from a（n）A．

3． Empathy
        Last year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．（36）BJennifer Freed，a codirector of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect．（37）DThere are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect．（38）GEmpathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact，Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers．（39）F"Academics are important．But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，"she says．
        What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）？For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．（40）C   To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a"sharing circle"with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．

A．Today，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
B．"One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，"Freed   says．
C．Humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
D．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else-both what they think and how they feel．
E．Good social skills，including empathy，are a kind of"emotional intelligence"that will help you  succeed in many areas of life．
F．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear．
G．Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person．
