     Last Saturday, our school had organized an activity to visit the children at a local orphanage

（孤儿院）. As one of the volunteer, I took part in it. We took many books as well many kinds of

school supplies and toys for the children. They were delighted to receive the gifts. In the morning,

we played some games with them when we used to play in our childhood. Then we cooked and

had a lunch there. In the afternoon, we gave them some performances. Before leaving the

orphanage, we had photos take with them and gave them our contact details so that they could

keep in touch with one another. Each of us had a happily time. We gave the children our care and

help, but in return, they gave us their smiles and love.

    Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tension and stress from time to time. Here are a few ways to help us manage them.

      71   We all think we know how to relax. But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn’t true relaxation. Depending on what you’re watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous. The same is true for alcohol, drugs or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false state of relaxation that’s only temporary. What the body really needs is a relaxation technique -- like deep breathing, tai chi or yoga -- that has a physical effect on the mind.

Get enough sleep, nutrition and exercise. Get the right amount of sleep for your need – not too much or too little. Eat well -- choose fruit, vegetables, low-fat proteins and whole grains for long-term energy instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine.   72   In that way, your brain and body can operate at their best.

Connect with others.   73   Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, which allows us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone.

  74   Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful. Choose somewhere you feel safe so that you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Walking or hiking can offer additional benefit or exercise. Invite a friend or two -- or a family member -- along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well.

Think positively. A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful and positive.   75   

A. Spend time with your friends or family.

    B. Express yourself to others.

    C. Connect with nature.

    D. Keep away from stress and anxiety.

    E. Allow yourself to dream and wish for the best.

    F. Exercise to send oxygen to every cell in the body.

    G. Choose a correct way to relax.

There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter’s class. Should the kids refer to the parents’ friends as “Mr. Jones” or “Mrs. Smith”, rather than using their first names? I was quite shocked, having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents’ friends by their first names. This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives, and even they always had “Aunt” or “Uncle” in front of their name.

    Respect is something that is earned. Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture（培养）in our kids, respect is a bit more complicated. It is not only necessary when dealing well with others, but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives.

    There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful. The first one to consider is manners. Calling adults by their surnames, setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving, and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child’s concept of respect and how important it is. Many of these seemingly trivial（微小的）ideas have become almost outdated, but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside. It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors. Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to this kind of disrespect.

    The media, as you may have guessed, plays a large part in the increase in disrespect. Movies are equally to blame, with a PG movie often containing an abundant amount of profane language.

    These factors and others all contribute to an alarming increase in disrespect in society. If we don’t step in and change course, we will find living in a morally respectful culture unlikely.

67. What does the author think of kids’ referring to parents’ friends by their first names?

   A. It is common in his family.   B. It is OK if the friends are close.

   C. Such behavior lacks respect.   D. Such behavior sounds funny.

68. What advice does the author give in the passage?

   A. Parents should correct kids’ bad behavior before children.

   B. Parents should mind their behavior before children.

   C. Parents should nurture kids’ self-respect from birth.

   D. Parents should choose suitable movies for kids.

69. The underlined word “profane” in the fourth paragraph means “________”.

   A. rude                   B. simple C. complicated              D. respectful

70. What would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Teaching kids respect      B. How to respect others

   C. Respect is a virtue        D. Respecting others is respecting yourself

Social networking isn’t only for the under 40s. More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research.

　 “The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the report.

　 Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren. “They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and those in the same age group. Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. “Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the report.

　 The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one.

　 Despite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers and magazines for news. Only one percent said they followed blogs.

The passengers on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” — my stop was quickly coming up. I had few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was claiming, or left it there.

In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing?” The ignorant thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldn’t get rid of the enormous sense of guilt and regret.

My thoughts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness?

Just as the doors opened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt awesome, but I didn’t care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queen’s park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.

56.The gentleman kept staring at the author because _______.

A.he wanted to talk to the author

B.the author appeared too nervous

C.the author was going to get off

D.he might think the author dropped the bread

57.The underlined word “self-imposed” in paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.

A. easily obtained B. deliberately(故意地) created

C. strongly supported　　　　　　　　　 D. completely unaccepted

58. Why did the author grab the cheese bread when he got off?

A. He noticed that no one was looking at him.

B. He didn’t want to see the cheese bread to go to taste.

C. He valued kindness more than his own pride.

D. He remembered a homeless man at that very moment.

Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother’s tummy (肚子), she had had an accident, which 　36 that Charlie couldn’t walk. But that had never been a(n) 　37 for him; he had always been happy. When he became older, they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and 　38 nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.

There wasn’t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn’t 　39 to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way you’ll 　40 more letters today!” he would say, or “That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You 　41 that thing better than anyone else.” He also had great ideas and 　42 for everything; and he shared them so 　43 that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or 　44 something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.

　　　 One day, though, he came up against a real 　45 . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some 　46 to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets…my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be 　47 , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks, 　48 trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.

　　　 Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone 　49 a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed 　50 on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and 　51 Waterworks was just about to cry, he 　52 Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask (小丑面具) you just 　53 !”

　　　 On saying those words, Waterworks felt so 　54 that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the fun 　55 of everything.
