I come from a close, loving family. I have three elder brothers.

My parents owned a wood supply business.  71  When I was a kid, people used to laugh at my dad and say his volunteer work was his business and his business was his hobby .That rubbed off on me. For example, I was a Big Brother in high school, and I continued doing volunteer work in college.

In 1979, just before graduation, my brother Mark asked if I’d like to help him start a software company.  72  And I was happy that later it became very unusual in the software industry. Once I started working, I continued to volunteer.

  73  So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone. I met Malcolm, who’s physically healthy.  74  He is also interested in my work. He often says “You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly.”

I learn kindness, humility（谦恭）, a positive outlook on life from Malcolm.  75  But we have been together for five years and there is no end in sight.

A. So I joined his company.    

B. They are successful in the business.

C. Most people volunteer for a year.   

D. But they were active volunteers in our community.

E. He learn how to do volunteer work from me .

F. I’m a big believer that you learn from those around you by volunteering.

It s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree．It has been there for the past 10 years or so．It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas—the commercial aspects of Christmas-overspending．Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to avoid the usual presents．The idea came in an unusual way．

       Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored by a church．These youngsters, dressed in ragged clothes, presenting a sharp contrast to our boys in their beautiful dresses and shoes．As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears．It was a luxury that the poor team obviously could not afford．Well, we ended up defeating them．Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won," he said．"They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them．" That's when the idea for his present came．That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes for the youngsters and sent them anonymously （匿名地） to the church．On Christmas Eve? I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me．His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in the following years．

       For each Christmas, I followed the tradition．The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas．It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed expectation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to show its contents．As the children grew, they joined．

       May we all remember the reason for Christmas, and the true Christmas spirit this year and always．God bless梡ass this along to your friends and loved ones．

   Family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children. This is what Jennifer Gassmann and her partners have concluded in a study that appears in the current issue of the Deutsches Arzteblatt International. This study was a component of a large-scale study entitled “Children, Adolescents, and Headaches”, in which data were collected in four annual “waves” from 2003 to 2006.

   Up to 30% of children around the world complain of headaches at least once a week. Out of a variety of possible factors tested in a larger study, the authors chose to look at the ones related to the children’s family and leisure time.

   According to the study, boys who experience more than one family quarrel per week have a 1.8 times higher risk of developing headaches. The amount of free time available to them seems to be even more important: boys who seldom have time to themselves have a 2.1 times higher risk of developing headaches.

   The behavior of parents when children complain of headaches also seems to play a major role. Both positive and negative responses from parents teach children that they can gain advantages from headaches. These responses have a particularly strong effect on the frequency of symptoms in girls, with supportive responses raising the risk of recurrent(周期性的) headaches by 25%.

   The genders also differed with respect to headache frequency. Twice as many girls as boys had their symptoms at least once a week. The ages of the children, however, seemed to have no more than a minor effect on their headaches.

   The study may become a reminder for parents, especially for those unpeaceful families.

68. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. How family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children.

   B. A new study on the frequency of headaches in children.

   C. Factors which lead to children’s having headaches.

   D. Advice for parents wanting to keep their children from having headaches.

69. We learn from the study that ______________.

   A. most children have headaches at least once a week

   B. the way a family behaves is the chief factor for the headaches of children

   C. parents are to blame for the increase in headaches in children

   D. girls are more likely to get headache symptoms than boys

70. Parents should learn from the passage that ______________.

   A. they should spend more time with their children

   B. they should avoid quarreling

   C. they shouldn’t care when their children have headaches

   D. they should treat boys and girls differently
