One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station. A pre-teen boy approached my car with a thick hat pulled around his face. He asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week.
He stated that if they did not come up with $ 25 they would be driven off that same evening.
Having worked in social services before, and being a little doubtful, I asked how come his mother hadn’t found out social services for help. The boy said that they needed to remain in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother, who lived out of town, could take them in.
I gave the boy what I had— $ 5. He thanked me and continued to wander the parking lot asking for help. I got my gas and drove away. A separate time some weeks before, a boy asked me for money and I told him I didn’t have any though I did. The doubt in me had won out.
Yet, I thought about it, felt ashamed at my doubt and went looking for the boy to give him a dollar. But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. “This time,” I thought, “I’ll do it differently.”
I went to my bank and withdrew an additional $ 20, then I returned to the gas station. The boy was still there. I observed him immediately, shyly approaching strangers who walked past him without notice. I pulled up beside a pump and waved at the boy to come over. I handed him the $ 20 bill.

Volunteers have been thanked for giving up their time to help out groups at community centres across South Tyneside. A ceremony was held at South Shields Town Hall to recognize people for their hard work and contribution in running groups supporting their communities.
Those recognized included South Shields Volunteer Lifeguard Club secretary Penny Wilkinson, named as volunteer of the year.

Christopher Perry accepted the award for young persons on behalf of South Tyneside Academy of Musical Performance, a community theatre group based at Brinkburn Community Association in South Shields.
South Tyneside Mayor Richard Porthouse said:“Volunteers are the lifeblood of so many of our organizations. Without their work and support, many sporting clubs and community groups would no longer be able to operate. It is, therefore, only right that their contribution is rewarded in this way.”

The event in South Tyneside was one of hundreds across the UK held during National Volunteers Week. South Tyneside Council for Voluntary Service has launched its volunteer awards. There are four categories—for groups or individuals helping within the community, for those helping people to improve their health and well-being, for those supporting young people and families and for the volunteer of the year.

In our life, there are two different types of dreamers, low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers. According to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.
Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity. She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction ( 颞顶叶交界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people’s brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams cause fear.
12. What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article
A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B. They can remember their dreams clearly.
C. They don’t know how to describe their dreams.
D. They can’t remember their dreams.
13. Which is true about low-recall dreamers compared to high-recall dreamers
A. They have higher quality sleep.
B. They have more sleepless nights
C. They are more easily woken at night.
D. They respond faster when hearing their names.
14. What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph
A. To explain Ruby’s findings.
B. To attract readers’ interest in future studies.
C. To show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.
D. To suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.
15. What did the research project in Finland find
A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.
C. Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.
D. Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled.

Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence, Italy. When she was almost a year old, she returned with her family to England.
Florence often helped her mother deliver food to the poor and sick. 1 Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession.
But Florence was determined. She studied books on medicine. Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. 2
In 1854, Britain was at war with Russia. Florence went to the British hospital in Scutari (now sküdar in Istanbul) and she was shocked. The hospital left men lying on the floor, and rats were running everywhere. 3 Many soldiers died before receiving help.
The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals — until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. 4 Florence made changes, making sure the men were washed and their injuries were cared for. Every night she would check the patients with her lamp.
When she returned home after the war, a fund had been set up in her honor. Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions. Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London.
After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. 5 All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”.
A.Nursing became an honored profession.
B.There was no running water and no heat.
C.She knew she had much to learn about nursing.
D.Florence saw the soldiers’ health had improved.
E.As she grew older, she decided to become a nurse.
F.They soon realized that Florence knew what she was doing.
G.Upon returning home,she was an expert on hospital management.

8 I grew older, the gifts gave 9 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10 chocolate and always included a 11 card signed “Love, Dad”.

I had 15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 16 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of 18 with simple acts of understanding of the people in his life.
Those things never 19 , nor does the memory of a man who never 20 being my Valentine man.

There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and delicate vases.All the treasures seemed to boast a long history and thus priceless.“Wow,it is really a land of wonder.” Rachel couldn’t help admiring the elegance of the china figures and vases.Mom’s words echoing in her mind,curiosity still got the upper hand.She reached for one of them,but unfortunately,the vase slipped off her hand and lay in pieces on the floor.Her heart missing a beat,she felt terribly worried.
Paragraph 2:
With a smile,Mrs Willow comforted her,saying it had been broken before.Seeing Mrs Willow’s sharp blue eyes filled with warmth and affection,Rachel felt extremely regretful for her clumsy behavior.“If I had been more careful,the disaster wouldn’t have happened.” Rachel knew what Mrs Willow said might be an excuse to relieve her uneasiness and embarrassment.She made a resolution in her heart that from the day on she would never be so careless and swore to be a kind and thoughtful person like Mrs Willow.

The event in South Tyneside was one of hundreds across the UK held during National Volunteers Week. South Tyneside Council for Voluntary Service has launched its volunteer awards. There are four categories—for groups or individuals helping within the community, for those helping people to improve their health and well-being, for those supporting young people and families and for the volunteer of the year.
There is still time to nominate(提名，挑选) a volunteer for an award. The deadline for put their names in the list is Monday, August 3. To nominate someone, call Ian Carr on 0191-4569555.

In our life, there are two different types of dreamers, low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers. According to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.
Perrine Ruby, a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity. She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction ( 颞顶叶交界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people’s brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams cause fear.
12. What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article
A. They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B. They can remember their dreams clearly.
C. They don’t know how to describe their dreams.
D. They can’t remember their dreams.
13. Which is true about low-recall dreamers compared to high-recall dreamers
A. They have higher quality sleep.
B. They have more sleepless nights
C. They are more easily woken at night.
D. They respond faster when hearing their names.
14. What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph
A. To explain Ruby’s findings.
B. To attract readers’ interest in future studies.
C. To show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.
D. To suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.
15. What did the research project in Finland find
A. Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B. Dreams are often affected by our emotions.
C. Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.
D. Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled.

Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence, Italy. When she was almost a year old, she returned with her family to England.
Florence often helped her mother deliver food to the poor and sick. 1 Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession.
But Florence was determined. She studied books on medicine. Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. 2
In 1854, Britain was at war with Russia. Florence went to the British hospital in Scutari (now sküdar in Istanbul) and she was shocked. The hospital left men lying on the floor, and rats were running everywhere. 3 Many soldiers died before receiving help.
The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals — until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. 4 Florence made changes, making sure the men were washed and their injuries were cared for. Every night she would check the patients with her lamp.
When she returned home after the war, a fund had been set up in her honor. Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions. Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London.
After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful hospitals. 5 All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”.
A.Nursing became an honored profession.
B.There was no running water and no heat.
C.She knew she had much to learn about nursing.
D.Florence saw the soldiers’ health had improved.
E.As she grew older, she decided to become a nurse.
F.They soon realized that Florence knew what she was doing.
G.Upon returning home,she was an expert on hospital management.

I had 15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 16 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of 18 with simple acts of understanding of the people in his life.

It was an Art lesson.Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints.She understood why Mrs Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her.It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!

There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and delicate vases.All the treasures seemed to boast a long history and thus priceless.“Wow,it is really a land of wonder.” Rachel couldn’t help admiring the elegance of the china figures and vases.Mom’s words echoing in her mind,curiosity still got the upper hand.She reached for one of them,but unfortunately,the vase slipped off her hand and lay in pieces on the floor.Her heart missing a beat,she felt terribly worried.
Paragraph 2:
With a smile,Mrs Willow comforted her,saying it had been broken before.Seeing Mrs Willow’s sharp blue eyes filled with warmth and affection,Rachel felt extremely regretful for her clumsy behavior.“If I had been more careful,the disaster wouldn’t have happened.” Rachel knew what Mrs Willow said might be an excuse to relieve her uneasiness and embarrassment.She made a resolution in her heart that from the day on she would never be so careless and swore to be a kind and thoughtful person like Mrs Willow.
