Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.

To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.

She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的) Build-A-Bears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores’ workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.

With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.

Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.

＂I love making relationships with the people I serve,＂ Fredette said. ＂The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it’s so cool.＂

Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.

Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a ＂Dreamer & Doer＂ not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.

We often face the following situations in our daily life:

? The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.

? The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.

? The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.

Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”

These days, many people don’t know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbor’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry, “or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don’t mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.

When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.

If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor’s way.

1.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing paragraphs 1&2?

A. To ask some questions. B. To lead in the subjects.

C. To list some situations D. To tell some stories.

2.You should talk about the problem with your neighbors first because ________.

A. they often say hello or smile to you

B. you do not know what they are called

C. they probably don’t plan to make you unhappy

D. they will take unusual steps to solve the problem

3.When talking with your neighbors, you can make them have a good feeling by _______.

A. praising their children B. explaining the problem

C. shaking hands with them D. making friends with them

4.The best way to solve the problem sometimes is to ________.

A. ask another person for help B. turn a blind eye to it.

C. tell the story to your friend D. let your neighbor get out of the way

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

The winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.

One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.

“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”

“Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.”

“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.

The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.

He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.”

Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.

All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money. I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.

任务型阅读

A speaker was giving a speech to his student on what to do with stress(压力). He held up a glass of water and asked the students， “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” The students’answers were different，from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the exact weight. It depends on(取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute， it is OK. If I hold it for an hour， I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day， you will send me to the hospital. It is the same weight， but the longer I hold it， the heavier it becomes.”

“If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time， we will not be able to carry on， because the burden is becoming heavier and heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down， have a rest for a while and hold it up again.”

We have to put down the burden sometimes， so that we can cheer up and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight， put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders， let it down for a moment .

Life is short， enjoy it!
