Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 1 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a 2___afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a vehicle’s windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 3 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was 4 .
“I’ll get the next car’s 5 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, gathering much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright
6 lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t 7 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as 8 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 9 changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then 10 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his
11 .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient
driver 12 him. He 13 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave calm and pleased. Some
were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, while others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window emptying a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 14 their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 15 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.
1. A. ears B. hands C. feet D. back
2. A. freezing B. sunny C. warm D. usual
3. A. offering B. throwing C. screaming D. cancelling

5. A. number B. coffee C. fee D. order
6. A. eyes B. smile C. hair D. annoyance

8. A. instructed B. requested C. directed D. suggested
9. A. gesture B. expression C. figure D. feeling

15.A.jam B.row C.flow D.line

A
It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big quarrel when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance . My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.
I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite my best efforts to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.
21.Hearing Mary decided to leave home, Mary’s father was very__________.
A. worried B. angry C. nervous D. surprised
22.After her mother called her, Mary__________.
A. became angrier than before B. gave in to her father

23. What probably happened at the end of the story
A. Mary returned home happily. B. Mary still refused to go home.
C. Mary’s father became angry again. D. Mary’s mother hated her father.

Years ago, I volunteered at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, handing out food. Once I got talking with Albert., a tall and skinny young guy in line. He said he liked my socks. “Want to see mine ” he joked, lifting his leg. He was barefoot. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.
The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up my truck with socks. The following early morning, I drove over to Santa Monica's Palisades Park, which is a common destination for homeless people.
I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a group of three men, standing around a tree, probably using it as a windbreaker. Two were asleep under heavy blankets, and the third was digging through his collection. As I walked toward him, he watched me, perhaps questioning my motives. “I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,” I said, handing him a pair. He looked confused at first but took them and said, “Thank you.” I gave him two more pairs for his friends.
I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they wake up they would find a very meaningful present.
That was nine years ago. Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can. If I’m on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.
It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar(雷达)” to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days, but even if I don’t, I like to think one of the pairs will find him.
24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph I most probably mean
A. Sorry. B. Homesick. C. Regretful. D. Embarrassed.
25. What is Ross most probably
A. A garage. B. A store. C. A public park. D. A homeless shelter.
26. What made the author feel especially satisfied with giving out socks
A. Playing Santa in public. B. Helping others silently.
C. Spending early morning at a park. D. Making weekends as holidays.
27. Which of the following could be the best title
A. Satisfactory Return from Kindness.
B. The Easy Way Out of Helping the Poor.
C. A Unique Experience at a Homeless Shelter.
D. Helping the Homeless in an Unexpected Way.

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl ( 水 禽 ) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat ( 栖 息 地 ).
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory ( 迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
28.What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America
A.Loss of wetlands. B.Popularity of water sports.
C.Pollution of rivers. D.Arrival of other wild animals.
39.What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph
A.Acquire. B.Export. C.Destroy. D.Distribute.
30.What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934
A.The stamp price has gone down.
B.The migratory birds have flown away.
C.The hunters have stopped hunting.
D.The government has collected money.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B.The National Wildlife Refuge System
C.The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D.The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

Four Ways to Beat Summer Weight Gain
When we think of summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer. In reality, summer isn’t all beach volleyball and water sports. Therefore, we can gain weight easily in the summer. 32 Here are four ways to beat summer weight gain.
1. 33 When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by aiming for a specific goal, like volunteering or mastering a new skill. Just be sure to plan for some downtime (停工期) so you can relax a little!
2. Stay busy. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy. In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, getting loads of stuff(事情) to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. 34
3. Beat the heat. Don’t let summer heat put your exercise plans on hold. 35 if a gym isn’t your scene, try howling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, try swimming or a regular run in the early morning or evening.
4. 36 with school out, we lose our daily routines(日常工作). If you don’t have a specific job or an activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure– like getting up at the same time each day. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast.
A. Get going with goals
B. Relax by walking outside
C. Stick to a schedule
D. That’s especially true if a dream summer job falls through(落空)
E. We usually stay at home in summer
F. Move your workout indoors
G. However, it’s easy to avoid this problem if we know what to look out for
