A
It's hard to talk to Dad sometimes.His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through.You could never break his hard shell and get to know him.And he seemed to want to stay that way too.
But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit,I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible.I was facing serious problems,and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way,because I felt like I had lost mine.In desperation,it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key,so I wrote him one,telling him about my regrets and fears,and I asked him to answer,if he felt like it.
Two weeks later,it showed up in my inbox：a much thought,three-page letter.Dad,a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four,had carefully considered my message,and crafted a response.He mentioned his lost love,the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents.He comforted me that "life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns".
I closed the email and started to cry,because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn't too late.I cried because at first,in the midst of my own struggles,his letter instantly put me at ease.And I cried because in the end,it was so simple：I just had to hit "Send".
We've since had many email exchanges.This increasing communication opened a door into his world.My problems haven't been magically solved,but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter.It's hard to talk to Dad sometimes,but I'm glad I found a way to talk to mine.

People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help.For example,when we give food to a hungry person,he is blessed.However,scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it.What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer.Acts of kindness can improve health,help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life.
The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging.Beginning in 1956，scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years.They thought the women with the most children would die first.But the number of children a woman had did not matter.Wealth did not matter.Education did not matter.What did matter was whether they volunteered.Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life.
Many other studies have found the same positive effects.Helping other people improves long-term health.The gains are the same for men,women,old people and the young.Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer.This included diseases such as heart attack,cancer and stroke.
Scientists are researching many possible causes.One possible cause is an increase in antibodies （抗体），which help fight against disease.One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness.This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.
Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life.Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin.Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain.It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.
What did the study in Paragraph 2 show？ ______
A. Diseases age people fast.
B. Doing good is good for one's health.
C. Women with more kids die earlier.
D. A long marriage leads to a long life.
What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4？ ______
A. More antibodies may not be good.
B. They help people reduce pressure.
C. They increase with one's kind acts.
D. The more antibodies,the more oxytocin.
How does the author develop the last two paragraphs？ ______
A. By explaining the causes. B. By making comparisons.
C. By introducing a method. D. By describing a chemical.
What's the main idea of the text？ ______
A. Everyone needs to be cared for.
B. Happiness is connected with kindness.
C. Try your best to help someone in need.
D. Helping others means helping yourself.

Most people have a place called "home" on the earth. What about in outer space？ The International Space Station （ISS） became our first "home" in space in 2000.It welcomed its first worker that year, building the way for 20 years of future research."
You just have this idea that we're all citizens（公民）of not a country, but of the planet," said Scott Kelly, a former NASA astronaut. "We're all in this thing called humanity together. "
During the past 20 years, the ISS has done a lot of scientific experiments. They went on spacewalks, did research on how space makes a difference to the human body and even grew plants in space. The station's development is also good for people on the earth. For example, the station's water purification technology is used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to tell us natural disasters in time, such as earthquakes.
However, after being our home in space for over 7， 000 days, the station is starting to get old. It lets out air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to the earth. It is believed that the earth's air will burn up most of the station. Other parts of the station will fall into the Pacific Ocean.
In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.
From Scott Kelly's word in Paragraph 2，we can know that ______ .
A. the ISS works for all humans
B. anyone can come to the ISS
C. people's life in space is difficult
D. she doesn't want to work here at all

A. China will send astronauts to the ISS.
B. It'll be easier to go to space in the future.
C. More countries plan to set up stations in space.
D. NASA will build another space station near the sun.第14页，共14页
