Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
(2013·梅县高二月考)Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother told him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice.One day，she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.“But there was nothing wrong，he only wanted some companionship，”Goldsmith said.“He didn't want to be alone，so she sat with him.There's no reason I can't do that.”
Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School，where he's a senior，to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month，Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith,18，for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a D|S 500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Heath Hospice.
“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick，”Susie Flood said.“He hasn't just given his own time and energy，but he's encouraged others to do the same.”Goldsmith，who lives on Des Moines' west side，hadn't had any experience with hospice before walking into the door of Taylor House for the first time.He chose it because his mother's friend－the one whose story had made him volunteer－works there.
“They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers，”Goldsmith said.“The principal at Dowling approved of my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to be a volunteer.”Students must earn a certain number of service hours to graduate，from Dowling.
When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college，he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program.“I want us，Dowling students，to keep making a difference，”he said.“It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people，but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside.”

Considered the brightest talent in a generation，Norway's Carlsen will become the world's youngest ever top ranked player when new rankings come out.
Named the “Mozart of chess”，Carlsen has other interests that he believes help his game.He paid no attention to comparisons with the world's troubled chess geniuses such as Bobby Fisher.“Fisher was one of the greatest chess players of all time，”Carlsen said.“The difference between us is that he was attracted to chess in an unhealthy way and that's a line I don't want to cross.I try not to mix chess with life.When I don't play，I'll do normal things for a teenager.”
Carlsen started playing chess at 8 mainly to beat his elder sister.Within a year he often beat his father and at 13 he had a shock win in a speed chess competition against world champion Kasparov.But the early success spoiled Carlsen，who at one point even had a reputation for being a little lazy in training.That changed sometime last year when Carlsen realized he could become the best in the world.He asked Kasparov to teach him during his competitions around the world and Kasparov agreed.
Carlsen says that he owes much to Kasparov，who provides details about the weaker sides of his leading opponents(对手) for him，many of whom he has played against.Carlsen completes his preparations with computer analyses of his opponents' matches but says that since the 1997 victory of the Deep Blue chess program against then world champion Kasparov，playing against a computer doesn't make much sense.Carlsen said，“Playing against the computer regularly would mean that I would lose more often than I would win and I don't think that would be very helpful for my confidence.”
31．What's the difference between Carlsen and Bobby Fisher?
A．Carlsen always mixes life with chess.
B．Fisher had many hobbies besides playing chess.
C．Fisher loved chess more than Carlsen.
D．Fisher enjoyed chess in an unhealthy way.
32．Why did Carlsen start playing chess?
A．Because he wanted to be famous.
B．Because his parents forced him to do so.
C．Because he wanted to beat his father.
D．Because he wanted to beat his sister.
33．After Carlsen had some early success，he ________.
A．worked even harder than before
B．stopped training for a long time
C．began to teach Kasparov his skills
D．didn't train as hard as he used to do
34．We can learn from the last paragraph that Carlsen ________.
A．prefers to play against computers than real people
B．shows his respect and thanks for Kasparov
C．gains more confidence when playing against computers
D．knows his opponents' weaker sides clearly all by himself
35．What would be the BEST title for this passage?
A．Norwegian teenager to be the new chess king
B．Kasparov improves Carlsen's chess skills quickly
C．Don't mix your life with chess
D．Where there is a will，there is a way
C
Long before man lived on the Earth，there were fishes，reptiles，birds，insects，and some mammals.Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today，others are now extinct，that is，they have no descendants alive now.
Nevertheless，we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils.From them we can tell their size and shape，how they walked，and the kind of food they ate.Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin，so that apart from color，we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago.That kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land，often of the plants that grew on it，and even of its climate.
When an animal dies，the body，its bones，or shell，may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea and there get covered up by mud.If the animal lived in the sea，its body would probably sink and be covered with mud.More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved.Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action，and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water.Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals，birds，and insects of which we know nothing.
The first animals with true backbones were the fishes，first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago.About 300 million years ago，the amphibians，the animals，able to live both on land and in water，appeared.They were giant，sometimes 8 feet long，and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam，or layer，is formed.The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years，these were the principal forms of life on land，in the sea，and in the air.About 75 million years ago，the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out.The mammals quickly developed，and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse.Many of the later mammals，though now extinct，were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.
36．What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word“descendants” in Paragraph 1?
A．Relatives. B．Parents.
C．Offspring. D．Ancestors.
37．The fossils in the rocks can tell us the following EXCEPT________.
A．the water action of the time
B．the way the creature walked
C．the size and shape of the creature
D．the food the creature ate
38．Why are many kinds of creatures in the old age unknown to us?
A．Because all of them lived in or near water.
B．Because most of them died out too quickly.
C．Because many of them lived far away from water.
D．Because many have evolved into other different creatures.
39．What is the correct evolutionary order of the animals in the world?
A．Fish，reptile，amphibians，mammals，primitive man.
B．Fish，amphibians，reptile，mammals，primitive man.
C．Reptile，fish，amphibians，mammals，primitive man.
D．Mammals，fish，reptile，amphibians，primitive man.
40．Which of the following is WRONG?
A．From the fossils we can know many things besides the climate.
B．The rocks that the fossils were preserved in were usually formed by water action.
C．About 150 million years ago，the reptiles became the major forms of life on the earth.
D．Fossils often show us the impression of some animals' skin.
D
“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(特点)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confident American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor.As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What's worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking)．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
41．To compete with American students it's very important to________.
A．be quite confident
B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them
D．understand what they think about
42．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who________.
A．gives a silly or simple answer
B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the course
D．is considered to have no opinion of his own
43．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ________.
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn't
D．he has to give a speech
44．We learn from the second paragraph that________.
A．we should also remain modest in America
B．modesty doesn't help you much in America
C．Americans also like modest people
D．modesty can help you get through an American graduate program
45．The passage is mainly developed by________.
A．providing examples
B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures
D．telling personal experiences

48．Sally has friends visiting her from out-of-town and wants to take them to dinner.She wants to take them somewhere they can enjoy the atmosphere and have fun.She is a university student，so she doesn't have a lot of money and doesn't like her food too hot.

Ⅴ.读写任务(满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Have you been asked for money by some beggars who have disabilities while you're enjoying shopping？Do you have any pity for that kind of people or just feel afraid？For whatever reasons，the number of disabled beggars bumming (乞讨) along the street has increased rapidly.
Why are there so many disabled people begging in the street？The reasons are so various that we don't need to understand.But at least, we know that they do not lead an easy life.So we should help them in some ways.
The treatment for disabled people should go like this：First，accept them.Don't be afraid of looking at the terrible shape of the disabled.Try to treat them equally.Because they are a part of the society，we can't abandon them.The second is to help them as much as we could.If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people，that would be very nice.That does good not only to disabled people but also to yourself，because you will feel good after your kind action.
So give an air of warmth to disabled people，and the world would be much better.

2．C 跨过这样窄的一座吊桥时，为了安全，你必须紧紧地抓住绳索。tightly紧紧地。
3．A 因为作者要跨过一座悬在空中的吊桥，故heights符合语境。

9．C 句意：对待那些曾经伤害过我们的人，我们应该用自己的仁慈和善良去感化他们。kill sb. with kindness意为“以过分的好意使某人感到不自在”，类似汉语中的“以德报怨”。从文章阐释的主要观点forgiveness可推知，此处是指“伤害(harm)过我们的人”。
10．C hurts与本空后的guilt构成并列，并且与上句中harm构成因果关系。下一段中的hurts也是提示。句意：当“我”长大后，“我”渐渐明白了，总是陷于过去受到的“伤害(hurts)”和别人的过错而不能自拔时，我们并不能减轻自己的痛苦。
11．D 与本空前的forget构成对比。句意：但是每当“想起(remembered)”这些时，“我”总是一笑而过。
12．B 只要自己宽恕了别人的过错，即使回想起这些伤害，也永远不会再给自己带来“伤痛(pains)”了。

语篇解读：本文主要讲述Nick不仅成为收容所志愿者，还成立了一个学生志愿者项目去帮助更多收容所里的病人。
26．B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“There's no reason I can't do that”和第二段的“Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program”可知，Nick被妈妈的故事所感动，自己也想成为一名收容所志愿者，他不但实现了愿望并且走得更远。故答案选B。
27．D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“...to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.”可知，其目的是为了为收容所培养更多的志愿者，从而也就帮助了更多收容所里的病人。故答案选D。
28．B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick”可知，其目的就是认可Goldsmith所做的工作和贡献。故答案选B。
29．A 推理判断题。关于Susie Flood身份，从文章第二段的“...a D|S 500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice”中这一奖学金的针对对象和第三段的“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick”说话者的语气可以判断出，Susie Flood应该是服务于Iowa Health Hospice，故答案选A。
30．D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，上了大学之后，Nick就要辞去在“hospice service-learning program”中所担任的职务，而根据“I want us，as Dowling students，to keep making a difference”可以推断，代替Nick职位的未来的领导者应该是该校的学生。故答案选D。

34．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知Carlsen十分尊重和感激Kasparov的指导。
35．A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍Carlsen战胜了国际象棋前世界冠军，成了新的世界冠军。
36．C 词义猜测题。从descendants出现的语境来看，上文说others are now extinct(有的物种已经灭绝了)，通过that is(也就是)我们可以推断出they have no descendants alive now与上文同义，所以此处应指“后代”。
37．A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，A项的描述是我们无法从化石中得到的。
38．C 推理判断题。由第三段倒数第二句可知，现在发现的几乎所有的化石都是由于水的作用而保存下来的，即如果没有水的作用有些陆地动物就难以形成化石，那么生活在离水远的地方的动物就不易形成化石，因此这些动物难为我们所知。
39．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段所叙述的进化顺序可以看出，生物是由鱼——两栖动物——爬行动物——哺乳动物——原始人的顺序进化的。
40．D 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句中的even of its climate可知，我们有时可以通过化石推知当时的气候；由第三段第四句可知B项的描述正确；由最后一段第四句及前文的300 million years推知，是在大约 150 million years前爬行类动物成为了地球的主宰，所以A、B、C三项可以排除。根据第二段第三句可知D项不正确。

42．D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，如果学生不自信，不积极发言，教授会认为他没有准备好讨论或者没有自己独特的见解，从而会对他评价很低，故D项正确。

44．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，谦虚在中国被推崇，但是在美国却没有多大用处，故B项正确。
45．D 篇章结构题。整篇文章作者都是通过讲述自己的经历来阐述自信在美国的重要性，故D项正确。
46—50 EAFCB
【参考范文】
Though the passage doesn't uncover the reason for disabled beggars increasing，it points out how to treat the disabled－not only should we accept them，but help and show warmth to them，making the world much better.
It is well known to us that many disabled people are struggling to survive in our country.So not only should we hold a right attitude towards them，but also do them a favor practically.But how to help?
First，we must understand，accept and respect them.Don't avoid meeting them because of being afraid of their ugly，terrible outer appearance.Second，we can make their daily life much easier and more convenient by doing many small things.
In short，if all of us offer our love and show warmth to them heart and soul，they can also live as rich and full a life as we do.Our world is bound to become more beautiful and harmonious.

A
(2013·梅县高二月考)Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother told him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice.One day，she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.“But there was nothing wrong，he only wanted some companionship，”Goldsmith said.“He didn't want to be alone，so she sat with him.There's no reason I can't do that.”
Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School，where he's a senior，to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month，Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith,18，for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a D|S 500 annual scholarship for him，which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Heath Hospice.
“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick，”Susie Flood said.“He hasn't just given his own time and energy，but he's encouraged others to do the same.”Goldsmith，who lives on Des Moines' west side，hadn't had any experience with hospice before walking into the door of Taylor House for the first time.He chose it because his mother's friend－the one whose story had made him volunteer－works there.
“They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers，”Goldsmith said.“The principal at Dowling approved of my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to be a volunteer.”Students must earn a certain number of service hours to graduate，from Dowling.
When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college，he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program.“I want us，Dowling students，to keep making a difference，”he said.“It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people，but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside.”

Considered the brightest talent in a generation，Norway's Carlsen will become the world's youngest ever top ranked player when new rankings come out.
Named the “Mozart of chess”，Carlsen has other interests that he believes help his game.He paid no attention to comparisons with the world's troubled chess geniuses such as Bobby Fisher.“Fisher was one of the greatest chess players of all time，”Carlsen said.“The difference between us is that he was attracted to chess in an unhealthy way and that's a line I don't want to cross.I try not to mix chess with life.When I don't play，I'll do normal things for a teenager.”
Carlsen started playing chess at 8 mainly to beat his elder sister.Within a year he often beat his father and at 13 he had a shock win in a speed chess competition against world champion Kasparov.But the early success spoiled Carlsen，who at one point even had a reputation for being a little lazy in training.That changed sometime last year when Carlsen realized he could become the best in the world.He asked Kasparov to teach him during his competitions around the world and Kasparov agreed.
Carlsen says that he owes much to Kasparov，who provides details about the weaker sides of his leading opponents(对手) for him，many of whom he has played against.Carlsen completes his preparations with computer analyses of his opponents' matches but says that since the 1997 victory of the Deep Blue chess program against then world champion Kasparov，playing against a computer doesn't make much sense.Carlsen said，“Playing against the computer regularly would mean that I would lose more often than I would win and I don't think that would be very helpful for my confidence.”
31．What's the difference between Carlsen and Bobby Fisher?
A．Carlsen always mixes life with chess.
B．Fisher had many hobbies besides playing chess.
C．Fisher loved chess more than Carlsen.
D．Fisher enjoyed chess in an unhealthy way.
32．Why did Carlsen start playing chess?
A．Because he wanted to be famous.
B．Because his parents forced him to do so.
C．Because he wanted to beat his father.
D．Because he wanted to beat his sister.
33．After Carlsen had some early success，he ________.
A．worked even harder than before
B．stopped training for a long time
C．began to teach Kasparov his skills
D．didn't train as hard as he used to do
34．We can learn from the last paragraph that Carlsen ________.
A．prefers to play against computers than real people
B．shows his respect and thanks for Kasparov
C．gains more confidence when playing against computers
D．knows his opponents' weaker sides clearly all by himself
35．What would be the BEST title for this passage?
A．Norwegian teenager to be the new chess king
B．Kasparov improves Carlsen's chess skills quickly
C．Don't mix your life with chess
D．Where there is a will，there is a way
C
Long before man lived on the Earth，there were fishes，reptiles，birds，insects，and some mammals.Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today，others are now extinct，that is，they have no descendants alive now.
Nevertheless，we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils.From them we can tell their size and shape，how they walked，and the kind of food they ate.Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin，so that apart from color，we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago.That kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land，often of the plants that grew on it，and even of its climate.
When an animal dies，the body，its bones，or shell，may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea and there get covered up by mud.If the animal lived in the sea，its body would probably sink and be covered with mud.More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved.Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action，and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water.Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals，birds，and insects of which we know nothing.
The first animals with true backbones were the fishes，first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago.About 300 million years ago，the amphibians，the animals，able to live both on land and in water，appeared.They were giant，sometimes 8 feet long，and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam，or layer，is formed.The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years，these were the principal forms of life on land，in the sea，and in the air.About 75 million years ago，the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out.The mammals quickly developed，and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse.Many of the later mammals，though now extinct，were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.
36．What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word“descendants” in Paragraph 1?
A．Relatives. B．Parents.
C．Offspring. D．Ancestors.
37．The fossils in the rocks can tell us the following EXCEPT________.
A．the water action of the time
B．the way the creature walked
C．the size and shape of the creature
D．the food the creature ate
38．Why are many kinds of creatures in the old age unknown to us?
A．Because all of them lived in or near water.
B．Because most of them died out too quickly.
C．Because many of them lived far away from water.
D．Because many have evolved into other different creatures.
39．What is the correct evolutionary order of the animals in the world?
A．Fish，reptile，amphibians，mammals，primitive man.
B．Fish，amphibians，reptile，mammals，primitive man.
C．Reptile，fish，amphibians，mammals，primitive man.
D．Mammals，fish，reptile，amphibians，primitive man.
40．Which of the following is WRONG?
A．From the fossils we can know many things besides the climate.
B．The rocks that the fossils were preserved in were usually formed by water action.
C．About 150 million years ago，the reptiles became the major forms of life on the earth.
D．Fossils often show us the impression of some animals' skin.
D
“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(特点)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confident American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor.As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What's worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking)．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
41．To compete with American students it's very important to________.
A．be quite confident
B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them
D．understand what they think about
42．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who________.
A．gives a silly or simple answer
B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the course
D．is considered to have no opinion of his own
43．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ________.
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn't
D．he has to give a speech
44．We learn from the second paragraph that________.
A．we should also remain modest in America
B．modesty doesn't help you much in America
C．Americans also like modest people
D．modesty can help you get through an American graduate program
45．The passage is mainly developed by________.
A．providing examples
B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures
D．telling personal experiences

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Have you been asked for money by some beggars who have disabilities while you're enjoying shopping？Do you have any pity for that kind of people or just feel afraid？For whatever reasons，the number of disabled beggars bumming (乞讨) along the street has increased rapidly.
Why are there so many disabled people begging in the street？The reasons are so various that we don't need to understand.But at least, we know that they do not lead an easy life.So we should help them in some ways.
The treatment for disabled people should go like this：First，accept them.Don't be afraid of looking at the terrible shape of the disabled.Try to treat them equally.Because they are a part of the society，we can't abandon them.The second is to help them as much as we could.If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people，that would be very nice.That does good not only to disabled people but also to yourself，because you will feel good after your kind action.
So give an air of warmth to disabled people，and the world would be much better.

10．C hurts与本空后的guilt构成并列，并且与上句中harm构成因果关系。下一段中的hurts也是提示。句意：当“我”长大后，“我”渐渐明白了，总是陷于过去受到的“伤害(hurts)”和别人的过错而不能自拔时，我们并不能减轻自己的痛苦。

语篇解读：本文主要讲述Nick不仅成为收容所志愿者，还成立了一个学生志愿者项目去帮助更多收容所里的病人。
26．B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“There's no reason I can't do that”和第二段的“Not only did he do it，but he started a student volunteer program”可知，Nick被妈妈的故事所感动，自己也想成为一名收容所志愿者，他不但实现了愿望并且走得更远。故答案选B。

37．A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，A项的描述是我们无法从化石中得到的。
38．C 推理判断题。由第三段倒数第二句可知，现在发现的几乎所有的化石都是由于水的作用而保存下来的，即如果没有水的作用有些陆地动物就难以形成化石，那么生活在离水远的地方的动物就不易形成化石，因此这些动物难为我们所知。

【参考范文】
Though the passage doesn't uncover the reason for disabled beggars increasing，it points out how to treat the disabled－not only should we accept them，but help and show warmth to them，making the world much better.
It is well known to us that many disabled people are struggling to survive in our country.So not only should we hold a right attitude towards them，but also do them a favor practically.But how to help?
First，we must understand，accept and respect them.Don't avoid meeting them because of being afraid of their ugly，terrible outer appearance.Second，we can make their daily life much easier and more convenient by doing many small things.
In short，if all of us offer our love and show warmth to them heart and soul，they can also live as rich and full a life as we do.Our world is bound to become more beautiful and harmonious.
