导语:送人玫瑰,手有余香。帮助别人就是帮助自己。如果孩子从小就开始做志愿者工作,那么他会从中受益良多!
If volunteering begins at an early age,it can become part of a child’s life—something he or she may just expect and want to do.It can teach them:
A sense of responsibility1.By volunteering,children learn how to be on time for a job,do their best,and be proud of the results.And they also learn that,in the end,they are responsible for the well-being2 of their whole community.
The knowledge that one person can make a difference.A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effect on someone or something else.
The benefit of sacrifice3.By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child,a child learns that it is good to sacrifice sometimes.Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than ourselves and our needs.
Tolerance.Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds,abilities,ages,and education.They will likely find that even the most diverse4 people can be united by common values.
Job munity service can help young people decide on their future careers.Learning to work as a team member,taking on leadership roles,setting project goals—these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in the future career.
How to fill free time wisely.If a child is not interested in traditional after-school activities,community service can be a wonderful choice.
译文:
如果在很小的时候就开始做志愿者工作,那么它能成为孩子生活的一部分——他/她期待和想做的事情。志愿者工作能教会他们:
责任感。通过做志愿者工作,孩子们学会怎样按时工作、竭尽全力并且为结果自豪。他们也能学到:最终他们对整个社区的幸福负有责任。
知道一个人能有所作为。对孩子来说很好的信息是:他(她)非常重要,足以对其他人或事情有影响。
奉献的好处。通过把玩具送给一个不幸的孩子,孩子能学到:有时候奉献是好的。减少玩的时间来帮助打扫街道能告诉孩子:除了我们自己和我们的需要以外,还有重要的事情。
容忍。在社区服务处工作可以让孩子和青少年与不同背景、能力、年龄和教育程度的人接触。他们很可能发现即使差异非常大的人们也可以被共同的价值观团结到一起。
工作技能。社区服务能帮助年轻人决定他们未来的职业。学习作为一个团队成员去工作,承担领导角色,设立项目目标——这些都是能从志愿者工作中学到的所有技能,并很好地服务于孩子未来的职业。
科学规划空闲时间。如果孩子对传统的课外活动不感兴趣,那么社区服务可能是一个不错的选择。

三、阅读理解
Many years ago,when we were a young couple with two small children,aged 2 and 4,we were practically impecunious.My parents-in-law lived from hand to mouth,so we didn’t expect any help from them.My parents lived a great distance away,and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.
My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck,carrying groceries for local shopkeepers,but it was constantly breaking down.It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed.The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.
We lived in the countryside,and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it.One winter evening,I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something.It was nearly dark,and I had to bend down to see what it was.I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food.
It was heavy,so I called my husband to carry it into the house.Once inside,we discovered two loaves of bread,some butter,several cans of vegetables,a can of orange sauce,and a large turkey.There was so much that I couldn’t remember it all,but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.
A little while later I remembered that I hadn’t taken the trash to the barrel.By now it was dark,so I had to turn on the yard light—and that’s when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.
That dinner was the best I could remember.
We weren’t able to thank our donators,though,because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family.Whoever it was,we are forever grateful.
1.How did the author’s husband support the family
A.By selling food door to door.
B.By delivering goods.
C.By starting a garage.
D.By working as a shop assistant.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Myhusbandwastryingtoearnalivingwithanoldpickuptruck,carryinggroceriesforlocalshopkeepers...”可知,“我”的丈夫用一辆旧卡车为当地的店主送货谋生。故选B项。
2.How did the author feel when she saw the basket
A.She was annoyed.
B.She was terrified.
C.She was astonished.
D.She felt a sense of relief.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Icouldhardlybelievemyeyes.Theresatalargebasketloadedwithfood.”可知,看到一篮子的食物,“我”几乎不能相信自己的眼睛,由此可以判断作者很惊讶。故选C项。
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impecunious” in paragraph 1
A.Generous. B.Cautious.
C.Stubborn. D.Penniless.
答案:D
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Myparentslivedagreatdistanceaway,andIwastooashamedtoletthemknowaboutoursituation.”可知,“我”的父母住在很远的地方,“我”羞于让他们知道“我”们的处境。由此可推知,“我”们的日子过得相当贫穷,才会羞于让远方的父母知道“我”们的情况。故画线词意为“身无分文的”。
4.What may be the best title for the text
A.A struggling young couple
B.A tale of potatoes
C.A helping hand in time
D.A reward from a stranger
答案:C
解析: 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,“我”和丈夫有两个孩子,生活贫困,但羞于将处境告诉父母。丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生。一天晚上,“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物,那一餐令“我”终生难忘。“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人。由此可知C项最能概括文意,体现文章主旨。
四、语篇填空
Like most people,I was brought up to look upon life as a getting.It was not until in my later thirties 1. I made this important discovery:giving away things 2. (make) life so much more exciting.One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without 3.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
I grew up in a small town where my elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age,not so long ago,when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting.At the time,I didn’t consider this to be so important,although today it certainly would be.Actually,our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realised it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play,and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines(台词) on me.But no matter how easily I delivered them at home,as soon as I stepped onstage,every word disappeared from my head.Finally,my teacher took me aside.She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play,and asked me to play the role of the narrator.Her words,kindly delivered,still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my upset,and instead of practising my lines,she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green.Under the huge trees,we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches(簇),as if a painter were adding small amounts of gold to our landscape.I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes.“I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,”she said,pulling a blossom up by all its roots.“From now on,we’ll only have roses in this garden.”I immediately argued,“But I like dandelions.All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.”
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty ”asked my mother thoughtfully.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having learnt what had happened,Mum patted me on the back gently and said,“You will be a beautiful narrator.”_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
写作指导
1.理解全文,把握主线。
本文为记叙文。文章讲述了作者要参加话剧表演,几经努力仍然无法在台上背出公主的台词,老师就让她念旁白,这让她很难过。妈妈看出了作者的心事,主动和她去庭院散心。在看见庭院玫瑰丛里的蒲公英后,妈妈想将蒲公英拔除,只留下玫瑰,但作者想要保留蒲公英,并说所有的花都有自己的美。
2.分析段首提示,展开想象进行合理推测。
续写第一段首句内容:“你是说每朵花都有它自己的美吗 ”母亲若有所思地问。由此可知,第一段可描写妈妈举蒲公英的例子来安慰作者,作者最终敞开心扉告诉妈妈学校里发生的事。
续写第二段首句内容:在得知发生了什么事之后,妈妈轻轻地拍着我的背说:“你会成为一名出色的旁白员。”由此可知,第二段可描写经过妈妈的鼓励,作者意识到自己更适合做旁白员,并努力练习,最终成功完成了话剧表演。

I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s,on the outskirts of downtown Orlando,Florida.Not far away,a three-storey house attracted my eyes.
It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother,a small dark place with rules about befriending others.“Don’t.Never,ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.
One day,in the sixth grade,a black-haired woman was introduced to our class:Mrs Reese.Mrs Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club.She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.
I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings.The bell rang,and to my shock,no one went up to Mrs Reese.I was under strict orders to go straight home.But that day,I stayed.I asked Mrs Reese when the club started.
“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile.I felt beautiful.That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house.I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favourite food in Spanish.And I learned,“Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons ”
I wanted to say “Yes”,but Mum’s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall,well after Spanish Club had dissolved.I wept at night sometimes,so worried that Mrs Reese and her family would move away.
At some point,I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon,I rode out to Mrs Reese’s house.
The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind:We had tea.She painted my toenails red.We made a garlicky picadillo.We spoke in Spanish.In Spanish,my voice was loud and romantic.This is the real me!I remember thinking.
My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs Reese’s house.But four decades later,I still remember that day and the life she showed me,proof of a possible future.

When someone is homeless or trying to recover from a natural disaster,they are in need of a lot of basic life necessities that many of us take for granted.While people are often encouraged to donate canned goods,not everyone is thinking about things like shoes.
Of course,you can’t go looking for a new job or a home if you have no shoes to walk in.One woman in Hays,Kansas took this into consideration,and found a way to help hundreds of people.
Payless stores were going out of business,and shoes were selling for as little as $1 per pair,so a woman named Addy Tritt bought out all the remaining shoes at the Hays Payless store—more than 200 pairs—and donated them to flood victims in Nebraska.
Those shoes were then included in a flood relief shipment taken to farmers in Nebraska by Fort Hays State University.Tritt,who graduated from FHSU’s human resources program,wanted to “pay it forward”.
“I have been so lucky,” she said.“There have been so many great people in my life who have inspired me.I see so many terrible things in the news.So many people have helped me when I was down.They influenced me so much that I want to help if I can.”
Tritt has a history of charitable(慈善的) acts.She has donated more than 60 bags of school supplies to Hays students,and organized a baby clothes drive and two supply drives for the animal shelter.
“I really feel I have been directed and guided to help people,”she said.“If you can do something for someone else,you need to find a way even if it is a pair of shoes.”
28.How did Tritt help flood victims
A.By sending some food to them.
B.By helping them find new jobs.
C.By selling shoes to raise money for them.
D.By buying shoes for them.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Tritt是通过给洪水灾民买鞋帮助他们的。故选D项。
29.What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Pay ahead of time.
B.Save some money.
C.Pass the love.
D.Put forward the plan.
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“Therehavebeensomanygreatpeopleinmylife...thatIwanttohelpifIcan.”可知,Tritt得到过别人的帮助,并希望把这种互帮互助互爱的精神传递下去。由此可推知画线部分应表示“把爱传递下去”。故选C项。
30.What made Tritt volunteer to help those victims
A.The low price of shoes.
B.Other people’s influence.
C.Ideas from her school.
D.The sad situation of victims.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Therehavebeensomanygreatpeopleinmylifewhohaveinspiredme...TheyinfluencedmesomuchthatIwanttohelpifIcan.”可知,是其他人的影响让Tritt自愿去帮助那些受害者。故选B项。
31.Which word can best describe Tritt
A.Caring. B.Independent.
C.Clever. D.Brave.
答案A
解析推理判断题。通读全文,根据倒数第二段以及最后一段中的“Ifyoucandosomethingforsomeoneelse,youneedtofindawayevenifitisapairofshoes.”等内容可知,Tritt是个关心他人的人。故选A项。

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad,rather than saying,“It’s not bad or good,and it just is it.”
In one of my books,I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently”.Some readers said it was too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,“Oh,I wish bad things didn’t happen!”
Does it mean you can never change things Not at all.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.

TipstoBoostYourConfidence
36 Here are some solutions to boost your confidence in the long run.
Alwaysthinkpositively.
We all have negative voices inside our head. 37 Start out slowly and push yourself to think of three good things about yourself every morning.
38
Take the time to look within yourself and assess what is possible to change and what is out of reach.It is important to focus on changing the things you have control over,because this is where you will see the most self-improvement.Make a list of three things that you would like to improve on and then under each item write a few bullet points on how you will go about making this change.
Focusonthesmallstepsforsignsofimprovement.
Make sure to focus on smaller victories.It is often harder for individuals to see their own self-improvement when they are looking at the long term,but it is easier to pinpoint changes when you are focusing on daily accomplishments. 39 Whatever it is,make sure you follow through and then acknowledge your achievements by making a list and posting it somewhere easily in view,because small steps always add up in the end.
Stopcomparingyourselftoothers.
One of the most common pitfalls(陷阱)that humans are guilty of is comparing themselves with each other.It is important to remember that what appears on the surface is not always what is reality.If you feel like you are constantly overwhelmed by trying to keep up with others,make a marked effort to limit your usage of social media. 40
A.Be realistic with what you can change.
B.Try to understand body language of others.
C.Building confidence takes time and patience.
D.Make yourself aware of how you do things.
E.The good news is that we can change these voices to only say positive things instead.
F.Start small and have a daily goal of one instance where you practice defending yourself.
G.You will be surprised with all the free time you have to do other things and best of all you will have a clear,more confident self.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
It was the hottest time of the year in southern California.Steve,an excellent basketball player at the University of California,with his cousin Zach,had planned a camping trip in the Great National Forest for their summer vacation.
The boys gathered clothes and supplies,and began their great adventure with Brady the dog early in the morning.Upon arrival,Steve pulled over to the side of the road along the bank of the river.“A wonderful place for fishing.”Steve exclaimed in delight.Zach nodded in agreement.
At high noon,the sun was scorching hot.With a good harvest of fish,the boys marched into the forest with Brady following them.After a long walk,they found a clearing that was ideal for a campsite.The camp was set up immediately as Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper.
An afternoon nap was absolutely a special treat in mid-summer.However,the boys were waken up by the fierce barks of Brady.Outside,heavy smoke filled the air and wind-blown flame was skipping from the top of one tree to another.The long dry summer turned the forest into a tinderbox.In a little while,Steve and Zach were inside their tent packing their belongings.
“Let’s go!We can make it back to the river!”They headed down against the wind in the direction of the river.But Brady barked a sharp warning.Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track.They would never make it through that.Steve was uneasy for it was hard to find a safe way to escape in the heavy smoke.
Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind.Next moment,the dog bounded away and disappeared down a sharp slope(坡).The boys shouted for him,but he didn’t come back.Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking.He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t know where to run.
SteveandZachhadn’tgonefarwhentherewasafamiliarbark.
Bradypulledagain,inspiteoftheboy’sdisbelief,urgently.
参考范文
SteveandZachhadn’tgonefarwhentherewasafamiliarbark.Brady came,stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head,pushing him back toward the slope.But Steve didn’t get it.Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling.The message was clear,but Steve hesitated.Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger.Was he still sharp enough to get them through this
Bradypulledagain,inspiteoftheboy’sdisbelief,urgently.“OK,big guy,”seeing the fire was touching underbrush nearby,Steve made up his mind.Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees.Several times the big dog stopped.Often he changed directions to find the right way.The boys were so tired but the dog urged both boys forward.Steve was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!They made it back to the river.(共13张PPT)
