I was looking through old photos with Mom. “Where on earth is that photo of Dad and Mumpsy ” I asked. It was my favorite one of Dad holding his dog.
“Maybe Jean has it,” said Mom. “We could ask her.” I looked at Mom as if she had the third eye. She could not be serious! Grandma had two sons, Dad and Uncle Ralph, who was married to Jean. Mom and Jean hadn’t got along since I was a little boy. Jean would say hurtful words to Mom, and Mom tried to let it go. After Grandma passed away, our connection with Uncle Ralph and Jean fell apart.
Yet here was Mom, intending to reach out to Jean after nearly 30 years. “We’re in our eighties,” Mom said. “Neither of us has many years left. Why not give it a try ”
Mom called Jean. Jean said the photos weren’t organized, and she invited Mom over to help look for the photo.
Sitting down at the table, Mom and Jean got through all the boxes from Grandma but didn’t find the photo. After a short talk, Jean said sorry for what she had done years before. She said that over the years, she had come to realize her mistakes but the fear of not being forgiven had stopped her saying sorry. Over the next few hours, they talked about what had happened in their lives.
“Jean received a college degree, and she’s become an artist. She has even sold a few of her paintings.” Mom later told me. “Then Jean pulled out a photo album (相册) of her family, just to share with me.”
“I suppose you didn’t find the Mumpsy photo,” I commented.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Guess what was stuck into the back cover of the album and fell out when she opened it ” Mom held up the photo of Dad and Mumpsy — lost until the recovery of Jean and Mom’s wounds.

Farm to school events are taking place nationwide this month. The events are aimed at bringing fresh food to students’ plates.
Students in Watkins Elementary grow vegetables in their school garden. They excitedly prepare for FRESHFARM classes held in the school’s kitchen. In one such class, children joyfully cut and cook freshly harvested vegetables, filling the air with their sweet smell. Regina Green, a coach of the class, stresses, “Teaching nutrition (营养) without a kitchen is like swimming lessons without a pool.” The students at Watkins Elementary are fortunate to have access to such a kitchen with various cooking tools.
At a time when diet-related diseases are a leading cause of death, it’s impossible for a cooking program to solve such a social problem. It needs many things to come together to support healthy eating. In promoting healthy eating, various factors must be considered. Among the challenges is the marketing of unhealthy products. Often there’s easy access to snacks and children’s taste preferences are shaped by the foods that are around them.
Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM play an important role in encouraging children to explore new tastes. At first, many kids were turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through different cooking ways, many kids become inspired.
The excitement of 5th graders is obvious as they happily taste the biscuits they’ve made, winning over many of their classmates. Catie Kelley, whose children have taken part in the program, shares, “Our family has new cooking experiences because of the program. The kids bring home recipes (食谱) that introduce us to dishes we don’t usually make. They show more interest at the store in identifying foods they’ve tried in the program.”
It is hoped that such school programs can arm children with the skills and inspiration needed to make healthy food choices, setting them on a path towards health in every way.
4. What does Regina stress
A. Skills are hard to learn. B. Kids should learn happily.
C. Practice is quite necessary. D. Kitchens should be advanced.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A Healthy eating is a tough task. B. Kids can make wise food choices.
C. Programs of this kind will go nowhere. D. Diet-related diseases draw no attention.
6. What does Catie think of the program
A. Costly. B. Helpful. C. Challenging. D. Popular.
C
Erin Alexander, who was suffering from the loss of her relative, was having a hard day. However, her day took an unexpected turn when she picked up her order and noticed a message on the cup: “Madam,” the waitress had written next to a heart, “your heart is golden.” The small and unexpected act moved her deeply, brightening the rest of her day.
New research confirms the great influence of experiences like Ms. Alexander’s. Researchers found people who perform an unplanned act of kindness tend to undervalue how much the receiver will appreciate it. This could hold many of us back from doing nice things for others more often.
In a recent experiment, 84 participants (参与者) were given a hot chocolate on two cold weekends at a park and were told they could keep it or give it to a stranger. The 75 participants who gave away their drink were asked to guess how “big” their kind act would feel to the receiver on a scale (等级) from 0 to 10, and how the receiver would rate their feelings upon receiving it. The receivers were then asked to report how they actually felt using the same scale.
It turned out that the people doing the kind thing always undervalued the importance of their actions. While they thought they were offering something small, the receivers considered it more meaningful because someone had done something nice for them.
Despite longing for kindness, many people feel awkward at the thought of being kind. The “little inner voice” often leads them to question whether their behavior might be misunderstood or whether it will make the receiver feel pressured to pay it back.
But an act of kindness is unlikely to have unintended results; it can lead to even more kindness. If you are not already in the habit of performing unplanned kind acts, start by thinking about what you are interested in and how you can turn that into an offering for others.
7. How did Erin Alexander feel after reading the message
A. Calm. B. Puzzled. C. Warmed. D. Anxious.
8. Paragraph 3 is mainly about the ______ of the experiment.
A. rule B. process C. purpose D. result
9. What may prevent people performing kindness according to the text
A. A mix of fears. B. Coldness from others.
C. High expectations of others. D. Voices from the public.
10. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Think twice before helping. B. Value kindness from others.
C. Find ways to change habits. D. Take action to offer kindness.

At school, she was always ready to help her classmates. At home, she helped her mum do some housework. She was never a concern to her mum, Mrs. Anderson.
However, Mrs. Anderson noticed a change in Cynthia these days. There were more quiet moments. Mrs. Anderson saw Cynthia looking out of the window, lost in thought. She also learned from her teacher that Cynthia wasn’t as focused on school as before. A sense of worry rose in Mrs. Anderson’s heart and she wondered about what was behind Cynthia’s unusual behavior.
Before going to bed, she started talking with Cynthia, asking about her day. However, Cynthia just said that nothing in particular happened. Mrs. Anderson’s concern grew. She decided to keep a closer eye, hoping to uncover the challenges her daughter might be facing.
One day, while cleaning up Cynthia’s bedroom, Mrs. Anderson discovered something unexpected — on her desk lay some books on how to treat injured birds. It was quite surprising. Cynthia had never told her about this. It also amazed Mrs. Anderson. She had a deep love for nature and birds and she could always find inspiration in their freedom and the beauty of their songs. She couldn’t help but wonder what had inspired her daughter’s newfound interest in birds.

I was looking through old photos with Mom. “Where on earth is that photo of Dad and Mumpsy ” I asked. It was my favorite one of Dad holding his dog.
“Maybe Jean has it,” said Mom. “We could ask her.” I looked at Mom as if she had the third eye. She could not be serious! Grandma had two sons, Dad and Uncle Ralph, who was married to Jean. Mom and Jean hadn’t got along since I was a little boy. Jean would say hurtful words to Mom, and Mom tried to let it go. After Grandma passed away, our connection with Uncle Ralph and Jean fell apart.
Yet here was Mom, intending to reach out to Jean after nearly 30 years. “We’re in our eighties,” Mom said. “Neither of us has many years left. Why not give it a try ”
Mom called Jean. Jean said the photos weren’t organized, and she invited Mom over to help look for the photo.
Sitting down at the table, Mom and Jean got through all the boxes from Grandma but didn’t find the photo. After a short talk, Jean said sorry for what she had done years before. She said that over the years, she had come to realize her mistakes but the fear of not being forgiven had stopped her saying sorry. Over the next few hours, they talked about what had happened in their lives.
“Jean received a college degree, and she’s become an artist. She has even sold a few of her paintings.” Mom later told me. “Then Jean pulled out a photo album (相册) of her family, just to share with me.”
“I suppose you didn’t find the Mumpsy photo,” I commented.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Guess what was stuck into the back cover of the album and fell out when she opened it ” Mom held up the photo of Dad and Mumpsy — lost until the recovery of Jean and Mom’s wounds.

D. He thought highly of it.
2. What do we know about Jean

A. Treatment of Family Issues
B. Adventure of a Special Photo
C. Bridging the Gap of Understanding

【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是通过寻找一张照片，作者的妈妈和作者的婶婶Jean修补了原本不好的关系，恢复了联系。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I looked at Mom as if she had the third eye. She could not be serious!(我看着妈妈，好像她有第三只眼睛。她不可能是认真的！)”可知，作者对妈妈要问Jean的想法是不相信的，故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Jean received a college degree, and she’s become an artist. She has even sold a few of her paintings.(Jean获得了大学学位，成为了一名艺术家。她甚至卖掉了几幅画。)”可知，Jean成了一名成功的艺术家。故选A。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Mom and Jean hadn’t got along since I was a little boy. Jean would say hurtful words to Mom, and Mom tried to let it go. After Grandma passed away, our connection with Uncle Ralph and Jean fell apart.(自从我还是个小男孩的时候，妈妈和珍就不和了。简会对妈妈说一些伤人的话，妈妈试着让它过去。奶奶去世后，我们与拉尔夫叔叔和珍的关系破裂了。)”和最后一段“Mom held up the photo of Dad and Mumpsy — lost until the recovery of Jean and Mom’s wounds.(妈妈举起了爸爸和Mumpsy的照片——在Jean和妈妈的伤口恢复之前一直没有找到。)”可知，本文主要讲的是通过寻找一张照片，作者的妈妈和作者的婶婶Jean修补了原本不好的关系，恢复了联系，因此本文最恰当的标题是D选项“Rediscovering Connections Through Photos(通过照片重新发现联系)”，故选D。
B

Despite these challenges, programs like FRESHFARM play an important role in encouraging children to explore new tastes. At first, many kids were turned off by the bitter taste of greens. But through different cooking ways, many kids become inspired.
The excitement of 5th graders is obvious as they happily taste the biscuits they’ve made, winning over many of their classmates. Catie Kelley, whose children have taken part in the program, shares, “Our family has new cooking experiences because of the program. The kids bring home recipes (食谱) that introduce us to dishes we don’t usually make. They show more interest at the store in identifying foods they’ve tried in the program.”
It is hoped that such school programs can arm children with the skills and inspiration needed to make healthy food choices, setting them on a path towards health in every way.

Erin Alexander, who was suffering from the loss of her relative, was having a hard day. However, her day took an unexpected turn when she picked up her order and noticed a message on the cup: “Madam,” the waitress had written next to a heart, “your heart is golden.” The small and unexpected act moved her deeply, brightening the rest of her day.
New research confirms the great influence of experiences like Ms. Alexander’s. Researchers found people who perform an unplanned act of kindness tend to undervalue how much the receiver will appreciate it. This could hold many of us back from doing nice things for others more often.
In a recent experiment, 84 participants (参与者) were given a hot chocolate on two cold weekends at a park and were told they could keep it or give it to a stranger. The 75 participants who gave away their drink were asked to guess how “big” their kind act would feel to the receiver on a scale (等级) from 0 to 10, and how the receiver would rate their feelings upon receiving it. The receivers were then asked to report how they actually felt using the same scale.
It turned out that the people doing the kind thing always undervalued the importance of their actions. While they thought they were offering something small, the receivers considered it more meaningful because someone had done something nice for them.
Despite longing for kindness, many people feel awkward at the thought of being kind. The “little inner voice” often leads them to question whether their behavior might be misunderstood or whether it will make the receiver feel pressured to pay it back.
But an act of kindness is unlikely to have unintended results; it can lead to even more kindness. If you are not already in the habit of performing unplanned kind acts, start by thinking about what you are interested in and how you can turn that into an offering for others.
7. How did Erin Alexander feel after reading the message
A. Calm. B. Puzzled. C. Warmed. D. Anxious.
8. Paragraph 3 is mainly about the ______ of the experiment.
A. rule B. process C. purpose D. result
9. What may prevent people performing kindness according to the text
A. A mix of fears. B. Coldness from others.
C. High expectations of others. D. Voices from the public.
10. What does the author suggest readers do
A. Think twice before helping. B. Value kindness from others.
C. Find ways to change habits. D. Take action to offer kindness.
【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. D

I study failure to try to work out what determines success.

Cynthia was a primary school student. She was curious about everything. She made efforts to get a good grade in every subject. She was a kind-hearted and outgoing girl. At school, she was always ready to help her classmates. At home, she helped her mum do some housework. She was never a concern to her mum, Mrs. Anderson.
However, Mrs. Anderson noticed a change in Cynthia these days. There were more quiet moments. Mrs. Anderson saw Cynthia looking out of the window, lost in thought. She also learned from her teacher that Cynthia wasn’t as focused on school as before. A sense of worry rose in Mrs. Anderson’s heart and she wondered about what was behind Cynthia’s unusual behavior.
Before going to bed, she started talking with Cynthia, asking about her day. However, Cynthia just said that nothing in particular happened. Mrs. Anderson’s concern grew. She decided to keep a closer eye, hoping to uncover the challenges her daughter might be facing.
One day, while cleaning up Cynthia’s bedroom, Mrs. Anderson discovered something unexpected — on her desk lay some books on how to treat injured birds. It was quite surprising. Cynthia had never told her about this. It also amazed Mrs. Anderson. She had a deep love for nature and birds and she could always find inspiration in their freedom and the beauty of their songs. She couldn’t help but wonder what had inspired her daughter’s newfound interest in birds.

【答案】Para 1:
The next morning, Mrs. Anderson saw Cynthia walking quietly into the backyard with a first aid kit in hand. She was careful as she approached a small bird, which lay still on the ground, its wings folded tightly against its body. Cynthia gently picked up the bird and examined it carefully, then began to apply some salve to its wounds. Mrs. Anderson realized that Cynthia had been secretly nursing injured birds back to health. She felt a sense of pride wash over her as she watched her daughter, who had always been so kind and helpful.
Para 2:
Mrs. Anderson couldn’t help but walk out. She approached Cynthia and asked, “What are you doing, dear ” “I found this bird injured in the yard and I’m trying to help it,” she replied. Mrs. Anderson smiled and sat down beside her daughter. She knew that Cynthia’s love for birds was a reflection of her own kind heart and that she was simply following in her mother’s footsteps. They sat there for a while, mother and daughter, lost in the beauty of the moment.
