时间为什么能帮助爱?因为只有时间了解爱的价值。
Only time can tell
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness,Sadness,Knowledge,and all the others,including Love.One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
Love was the only one that stayed.She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.When the island was almost totally under,Love decided it was time to leave.She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat.Love asked,“Richness,can I come with you on your boat?”Richness answered,“I'm sorry,but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel.Love cried out,“Vanity,help me please!”“I can't help you,”Vanity said,“You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”
Next,Love saw Sadness passing by.Love said, “Sadness,please let me go with you.”Sadness answered,“Love,I'm sorry,but,I just need to be alone now.”
Then,Love saw Happiness.Love cried out,“Happiness,please take me with you.”But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry.Then,she heard a voice say,“Come Love,I will take you with me.”It was an elder.Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name.When they arrived on land the elder went on his way.Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked,“Who was it that helped me?”“It was Time,”Knowledge answered.“But why did Time help me when no one else would?”Love asked.Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity,answered,“Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

Cultural differences
Ma Li:Hi,everyone.My name's Ma Li.I need some help with my homework—it's about cultural differences.Can I sit down and talk to you?
Waled:Hi,Ma Li,I'm Waled from Brunei(文莱).
Peter:And I'm Peter,from the UK.Nice to meet you.
Ma Li:Nice to meet you,too.Can you tell me about some cultural differences you have found①?
Peter:Waled,why don't you tell her about the British teacher who opened the present as soon as he received it at the end-of-term (学期末) ceremony②?
Mia Li:Oh,I already know about that one.My American friend Jack did the same thing.
Peter:Well,it's what we do in the West③.It's rude not to open a present when someone gives you one④.We like to see how the person reacts.We think it's strange not to open it! What would be another cultural difference ...let me think.Well,I once went to an acquaintance's wedding(婚礼) in Korea(韩国) and I was very surprised.
文化差异
马莉:嗨,大家好,我叫马莉。我需要一些帮助来完成我的家庭作业——它是有关文化差异的。我能坐下来跟你们聊一聊吗?
瓦利德:嗨,马莉,我是来自文莱的瓦利德。
彼得:我是彼得,来自英国,见到你们很高兴。
马莉:见到你们我也很高兴。你们能给我讲讲你们已发现的一些文化差异吗?
彼得:瓦利德,你为什么不给她讲一讲那位在期末典礼上一收到礼物就打开的英国老师的事呢?
马莉:噢,那件事我已经知道了。我的美国朋友杰克也那样做过。
彼得:嗯,我们在西方就是这么做的。当有人送你礼物时,你不打开是不礼貌的。我们喜欢看那个人的反应。我们觉得不打开礼物的做法很奇怪!还有什么文化差异呢?……让我想一想。嗯,有一次我去参加一位熟人在韩国的婚礼,我就很吃惊。
[助读讲解] ①省略that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词differences。②who引导定语从句修饰先行词the British teacher,从句中又含有as soon as引导的时间状语从句。③what引导表语从句,what在从句中作do的宾语。④it是形式主语;不定式to open a present为真正主语。when引导时间状语从句。
Ma Li:Why was that?
Peter:Well,they had a live hen and a rooster (公鸡) as a part of the wedding ceremony.
Ma Li:Live chickens?
Peter:Yes.Roosters are supposed to drive bad spirits away from the wedding ceremony,and hens are thought to ensure(保证) good luck for the marriage.During the ceremony,the hen laid an egg,and everyone congratulated (祝贺) the new couple because it was considered very lucky⑤.
马莉:那是为什么呢?
彼得:嗯,他们把一只活母鸡和一只活公鸡作为婚礼仪式的一部分。
马莉:活鸡?
彼得:是的,公鸡被认为能够把坏运气从婚礼上赶走,而母鸡则被认为能确保给婚姻带来好运。在婚礼期间,那只母鸡下了一个蛋,所有的人都向这对新人祝贺,因为这被认为是非常幸运的。
[助读讲解] ⑤because引导原因状语从句。
Waled:That's interesting! In Brunei,at wedding receptions (招待会) men and women have to sit in separate areas — the men with the bridegroom (新郎),and the women with the bride (新娘).Another difference is that while we serve food,soft drinks,tea and coffee⑥,alcohol is not permitted(允许) at the wedding reception — in fact,alcohol is altogether prohibited (禁止) in Brunei.And you probably wouldn't get much sleep if you lived near where a wedding reception was being held⑦.That's because we play loud drums to celebrate the wedding for hours afterwards,and sometimes even throughout (贯穿整个时期) the night!⑧
Peter:Throughout the night?
Waled:Yeah,people get used to it.
Ma Li:So what other things do you do in your country that are different from other countries⑨,Waled?
Waled:Well,you know in many countries people point with their first finger.However,in Brunei that can cause offence(冒犯),so we use our thumb (拇指)to point.It's quite funny watching the new foreign teachers trying to adjust (适应) to doing that⑩.Another thing is,if you came to Brunei?,you would have to take off your shoes before going into someone's house.Many foreigners have trouble getting accustomed(习惯于) to it.
瓦利德:那真有意思!在文莱的婚宴上男女必须得坐在不同的区域——男士和新郎坐在一起,女士和新娘坐在一起。另外一个区别就是我们虽然供应食物、软饮料、茶和咖啡,但是在婚宴上不许饮酒——事实上,在文莱白酒是完全被禁止的。而且如果你住在婚礼举办地附近,你很有可能睡不了多少觉。那是因为婚宴之后我们连续好几个小时击鼓庆祝婚礼,有时候甚至通宵!
彼得:通宵?
瓦利德:是的,人们对它习惯了。
马莉:瓦利德,那你们国家还有哪些事情的做法与别的国家不一样呢?
瓦利德:嗯,你知道,在很多国家人们用食指来指东西。然而,在文莱,那样会引起冒犯,所以我们用大拇指来指东西。看新来的外教努力适应这个动作的样子很有趣。还有就是,如果你来到文莱,进别人的房间之前必须得脱鞋。许多外国人很难适应这种做法。
[助读讲解] ⑥that引导表语从句,从句中又含有while引导的让步状语从句。⑦if引导条件状语从句,从句中又含有where引导的宾语从句作介词near的宾语。⑧because引导表语从句。⑨that引导定语从句,修饰先行词your country。⑩it为形式主语,watching...为真正主语;trying to adjust to doing that作后置定语修饰the new foreign teachers。?if引导条件状语从句。
Peter:But what is really interesting is that there are sometimes great cultural differences even between native English speakers?.I am always amazed at how Americans are so different from us Brits (英国人)?.Even though we share the same language — with different accents,of course—our customs are not always alike (相似).
Ma Li:Really?
Peter:Yes.For example,I have fond childhood memories of Bonfire (篝火) Night,but my American friends are not familiar (熟悉)with that particular festival.
Ma Li:Well,I'm not familiar with it either.
彼得:但真正有趣的是,即使在以英语为母语的人们之间有时候也存在着很大的文化差异。我总是惊诧于美国人和我们英国人怎么如此不一样。尽管我们拥有共同的语言——当然有着不同的口音——我们的风俗却并不总是相似。
马莉:真的吗?
彼得:是的。例如:我有童年时篝火节的温馨回忆,但我的美国朋友对那个特别的节日竟然不太了解。
马莉:喔,我也不太了解那个节日。
[助读讲解] ?what引导主语从句且在从句中作主语;that引导的是表语从句。?how引导宾语从句作介词at的宾语。
Peter:Oh,it's a celebration (庆祝)that takes place on November 5th every year?.People light large fires outside,and everyone gathers around and has a party.There are plenty of fireworks (烟花),and everyone eats hot dogs (热狗) and other food that can be cooked over the fire?.It's great fun.
Ma Li:Well,it's time for me to go.This has been a really interesting chat.I think now I understand a lot more about different cultures and what is appropriate behaviour?.It's really helped me with my homework! I hope we can talk again soon.After all,learning about cultural differences is a good way to understand more about each other.See you later!
Waled:See you!
Peter:Right,later!
彼得:噢,那是发生在每年11月5日的一次庆祝活动。人们在户外点燃大堆的篝火,大家围着篝火举行聚会。还有大量的烟花,每个人都吃着热狗和其他可以用火烘烤的食物。真是有趣极了。
马莉:好了,我该走了。这的确是很有趣的一次聊天。我想现在我对关于不同的文化及得体的行为举止有了更多的了解。这的确对我的家庭作业有帮助!我希望我们很快能再聊天。毕竟,了解文化差异是增进互相了解的一个好办法。再见!
瓦利德:再见!
彼得:的确如此,再见!
[助读讲解] ?that引导定语从句修饰先行词celebration且在从句中作主语。?that引导定语从句修饰先行词hot dogs and other food。?think后为并列连词and连接的两个宾语从句。

(教材P38)One reason why there are so many French words in English is that the French ruled England for quite a number of years.
英语里有如此多的法语词汇的一个原因是法国曾统治英国好多年。
【要点提炼】 reason后why引导定语从句,后面的that引导表语从句,说明reason的具体内容。
the reason作主语时,其后的表语从句常用that引导。句型:The reason why...is that...的变化形式有:The reason for...is that.../The reason(why)...is to do...
注意另外两个句型:
That is because... “那是由于……”
That is why... “那就是……的原因”
①One reason why he didn't come is that he was ill.
(先行词reason在定语从句中作状语)
他没有来的一个原因是他生病了。
②He is absent.That is because he is ill.
=He is ill.That is why he is absent.
由于生病,他缺席了。
[名师点津]
主语为名词reason时,表语从句中的连接词要用that,而不用why或because。
(教材P43)In Thailand and other parts of South-East Asia,the normal greeting is a slight bow with the hands pressed together.
在泰国和东南亚的其他一些地区,通常的打招呼方式是双手合十并微微鞠躬。
[要点提炼] 句中with复合结构with the hands pressed together作定语,修饰名词bow。在with复合结构中动词-ed形式pressed作宾语the hands的补足语。
with复合结构:
(1)构成:with+名词或代词+形容词、副词、介词短语、动词不定式、动词-ing形式或动词的-ed形式。
(2)作用:在句中表状态或说明背景情况,常作伴随、方式、原因、条件等状语。也可以作定语。
①He is used to sleeping with the windows open.
他习惯开着窗户睡觉。
②With so much homework to do,I can't go out to play football with you.
因为有那么多作业要做,我不能跟你出去踢足球。
③We found the village easily with the guide leading (lead) the way.
由导游带路,我们很容易就找到了那个村子。
[名师点津]
在with复合结构中当宾语补足语与宾语有逻辑上的主谓关系时,宾语补足语用v.-ing形式;若为动宾关系,则用v.-ed形式;若表示将来某时动作才完成,则要用不定式。
(教材P43)While these different forms of greetings and customs might seem strange to you,remember that what you consider normal probably seems just as unusual to others.
[分析] 主从复合句。while引导一个让步状语从句;主句中that引导的是宾语从句,在宾语从句中又包含一个复合句;what引导的是主语从句。
[翻译] 尽管这些不同形式的问候语和风格对你而言似乎奇怪,但是记住你所认为正常的可能好像对别人而言又不同寻常。

状语从句中,主语及be动词的省略主要出现在以下几种情况:
(1)表示时间(连接词为when,while,as,since,whenever)的从句中。
(2)表示条件(连接词为if,unless)的从句中。
(3)表示让步(连接词为though,although,whether,however,whatever,no matter how/what/who等)的从句中。
(4)表示行为方式(连接词为as,as if,as though)的从句中。
(5)表示原因(连接词为since)的从句中。

②连词除了后接分词以外,还可以接名词、介词短语,形容词等。
③当连词后接形容词时,如果有be,可以换成being+adj.形式,但这样的形容词不能是-ed或-ing的形式,同时连词也可以省略。
(教材P47)It is believed that the Maori people came from the Pacific islands of Polynesia.
人们相信毛利人来自太平洋的波利尼西亚群岛。
[要点提炼] 本句中含有“It is believed that+从句”句型,it是形式主语,that引导主语从句作真正的主语。
该句型可转化为people/sb.believe that...或sb./sth.be believed to do...
常见的“It+be+过去分词+that从句”句型:
It is said that... 据说……
It is reported that... 据报道……
It is known that... 众所周知……
It is thought that... 大家认为……
It is considered that... 据认为……
It is hoped that... 人们希望……

=People say that they are looking into the case.
据说他们正在调查这个案子。
②It is suggested that Smith (should)take (take) over the work.
人们建议史密斯接替这项工作。
[名师点津]
①在句型It is suggested/required/demanded/ordered...+that从句中,that从句中的谓语动词用should+动词原形,should可以省略。
②以上含有hope,suggest,demand等的复合句一般不可以转换为简单句。
(教材P47)You will take part in the Sun Dance,which is a very important ceremony,and you will also see natives smoking a peace pipe.
[分析] and连接两个并列分句,在前面分句中which引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the Sun Dance;在后面分句中包含有see sb.doing结构。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example,Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use,persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化里的具体含义。沉默有时表示思考,有时表示无话可说……不同的文化,人们对沉默有不同的理解。沉默也可以用在医院中,它还有治疗功效呢。
1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A.It implies anger.
B.It promotes friendship.
C.It is culture-specific.
D.It is content-based.
C [推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.以及下文给出的不同文化里沉默代表不同含义的例子可知,选项C与之相符合,沉默有特定的文化内涵。选项A、B、D在文中都没有提到。]
2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A.The Chinese. B.The French.
C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating...just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.以及...silence is a call for reflection.可知,许多美国本土人、一些传统的中国人以及泰国人都把沉默看作是仔细思考的象征,故选A项。a call for reflection与a call for careful thought是同义表达。根据第三段中的...Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement...可知,法国人和俄罗斯人用沉默表示同意,故B、D两项错误;由第三段中的...Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority...可知,墨西哥人在权威人士给出指示,但心里不赞同时,他们会选择保持沉默,故排除C项。]
3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
D [细节理解题。根据文中最后一段中的A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.可知,作者建议护士们利用沉默的治愈效果来关爱病人,D项与此吻合,use与选项中的make use of是同义表达。根据最后一段中的...a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.可知,不要过早打破沉默,也不要让沉默没有必要地一直持续下去,A项“只要病人喜欢,让沉默一直持续下去”和B项“治疗病人时,打破沉默”的表述与此不符,故排除。文中没有提到沉默对病人有害处,故排除C项。]
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver;Silence Is Gold
B [标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说,沉默在不同的文化和领域具有不同的含义,这与B项(沉默的含义)的表述相符。A项中的sound没有提到;C项只是文章一个方面的内容;D项“雄辩是银,沉默是金”强调了沉默的价值,与文章内容不符,故错误。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
In our daily life,everyone wants to be happy.Then,do you know how to be happy?Here are four ways for you to find more pleasure in your life.
Play that song you love so much.As a preschooler can tell you, 1 .When you experience something more than once,you notice more details about it each time,and it increases your enjoyment.That's why you love revisiting that jazz club,favorite restaurant,and beloved old Woody Allen movie.Of course,you can overdo it.
Don't buy boxed sets of DVDs.Economist Tyler says that much of the joy we get from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out,getting them home,and opening them up. 2 .Buy things one at a time and space out the pleasure.
3 .People long ago spent almost all of their time outside with trees,water,and sky around.The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit.Even being close to nature for a short time can make us happy.In addition,physical contact with animals works wonders. 4 .It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress.Even people without pets can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.
Wear a smile on your face.Like it or not,smiling improves your mood.That's why people react better to you when you look happy,which in turn leads you to be happy. 5 .
A.Look outside
B.Love pets
C.You can pet an animal
D.playing songs can benefit you
E.repetition can lead to pleasure
F.If you receive 18 DVDs in one package,you'll use up the excitement all at once
G.What's more,looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy
【语篇解读】 本文介绍四种方法让你在生活中找到更多的乐趣。
1.E [根据句子结构可知选D或E,再根据空格下句:当你不止一次体验同一事情时,每次你都会看到更多的细节,它会增加你的快乐。可知:背诵导致成功。故选E。]
2.F [根据空格下句:每次买一张DVD,能够隔开快乐,增加体验快乐的次数。可知空格处的意思是:如果你在一个包中收到18张DVD,你马上会用尽所有的兴奋。可知F项符合题意。]
3.A [本题是一个小标题。根据此段第一句:人们很久以前几乎把所有的时间都花在外面的树、水和天空上。可知小标题的意思是:到外面去看看。故选A。]
4.C [根据空格上句:此外,身体接触动物能够创造奇迹;再根据空格下句:养宠物给你的健康带来的好处。可知此空的意思是:你可以养个宠物(pet an animal)。故选C。]
5.G [根据上句:这就是为什么当你看起来很高兴的时候,人们对你的反应更好的原因,这反过来将会导致你高兴。可知G.What's more,looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy.另外,看起来高兴就会使你的大脑认为你是快乐的。符合题意,故选G。]

【语篇解读】 在学校里有一位负责分发借书单并防止学生未经允许就出校园的女士,作者从未见她笑过,于是,作者想了一个办法,让她笑了……
1.to hand [句意:我们学校有一位女士,她的工作是分发借书单,防止学生未经许可离开校园。分析句子结构可知,此处是动词不定式作表语。]
2.without [without permission“未经许可”。]
3.walking [分析句子结构可知,此处是“see+宾语+宾补”结构,her与walk之间是主动关系,并且动作正在进行,故用walk的现在分词形式作宾补。]
4.closer [前面提到她在走动,此处表示“当她离我们近点儿的时候……”,与前面相比较,要用比较级。]
5.wrote [由下句中的signed,slipped可知此处用一般过去时态。故填wrote。]
6.that [telling her后跟两个宾语从句,第二个从句的引导词that不可省略。]
7.an [单数可数名词envelope第一次出现,表泛指,前面需加不定冠词an。]
8.was told [主语I与tell之间是被动关系,并且发生在过去,要用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was told。]
9.colourful [此处要用形容词修饰名词flowers。colour的形容词形式是colourful。]
10.them [此处用代词替代名词复数flowers,作left的宾语,故填宾格代词them。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion,however,make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture.Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children.You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them,arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.
In the United States,business people like to discuss a wide range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule,it's best not to talk about polities or religion with your business friends.This can get you into trouble,even in the United States,where people hold different views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
True happiness lies in rewarding relationships,not material wealth,according to new research.Scientists have said that a close circle of friends and family is most important for happiness,and that owning things such as iPhones,computers,being wealthy and owning a sports car do not provide the same level of satisfaction.
The study was done by psychologists at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Lund University,in Sweden.The experts analyzed (分析) articles in Swedish newspapers published in 2010 and recorded which words most often occurred in the same articles as the Swedish word for happiness.In this way,they could know our common happiness.
Co-author Dr Danilo Garcia,a researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy's Centre for Ethics,Law and Mental Health,said,“It's relationships that are most important,not material things that we possess,and this is in line with other findings in happiness research.”
The study,which contained more than 1.5 million words,showed that terms such as “grandmother”and personal pronouns such as “you”,“me”,“us”and“them” often emerge in the same article as the Swedish word for happiness. Researchers found that words such as “iPhone”,“millions”and“Google”almost never appear with the word“happiness”.
The study is a part of a larger research project on how people describe both positive and negative events in their lives.The researchers believe that the word analysis reflects a common perception among the members of our society as to what should make us happy.
Dr Danilo Garcia said,“Just as the Beatles sang,most people understand that money can't buy you happiness or love.But even if we can understand the importance of close and warm relationships at a social level,it isn't certain that everyone is aware that such relationships are actually necessary for our own personal happiness.”

A.explain something new
B.are unbelievable to many people
C.prove material things are unimportant
D.confirm previous findings in happiness research
D [细节理解题。根据第三段的“It's relationships that are most important...in happiness research.”可知,这些新发现跟以往与幸福相关的研究的发现一致。]
3.What does the underlined word “emerge”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Appear. B.Spread.
C.Start. D.Unite.
A [词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知,与朋友和亲人之间有良好的关系能够让我们有幸福感,故可知这些词会跟“幸福”一词出现在同一篇文章里。]
4.Dr Danilo Garcia doubts whether .
A.money really buys us happiness or love
B.rewarding relationships really lead to personal happiness
C.close and warm relationships are important at a social level
D.all people know rewarding relationships lead to personal happiness
D [推理判断题。根据末段的“it isn't certain that everyone is aware that such relationships are actually necessary for our own personal happiness.”可推断,Danilo Garcia怀疑是否所有人都知道和朋友和亲人之间有良好的关系能够让我们有幸福感。]
B
When I was about 10 or 11 years old,my father told me something that has always stayed with me.When I asked him what I should be when I grew up,he always said,“Whatever you do,do something that is of some service to somebody else,because if you do,you'll know that it mattered that you were born.”My father's message propelled me into a life of traveling the world and seeing people in great need with my own eyes.Over the years,it deeply exists in my brain; it's almost impossible for me not to step in and try to do something to help.
Once,as a young reporter,I saw a child being laughed at on the playground because he had a webbed (有蹼的) thumb.He was an immigrant (移民) who hardly spoke English,and the kids always made fun of him because he was different.
I did a story about him,and after it spread,a doctor called me and offered to fix the boy's thumb for free.I told the poor family the good news.One day I got a call from the hospital.The father said his son wanted to see me.When I walked into the recovery room,the little boy held up his thumb.His eyes were filled with tears,and with his thick accent he said,“Thank you so much.”Realizing that something I had done had such an effect that little boy changed something in me.
What I didn't realize until much later is that by sharing his message,my father had given me the keys to happiness.In the rush of our lives,we often forget that those simple acts of giving can give our own lives the most value,the most comfort and peace.People need to realize that when they help others they are also helping themselves.

6.Why did the child thank the author?
A.Because the author raised money to help him.
B.Because the author paid the hospital bill for him.
C.Because the author operated on his thumb successfully.
D.Because the author gave him the opportunity to receive free treatment.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段的“I did a story about him,and after it spread,a doctor called me and offered to fix the boy's thumb for free.”可知,作者报道了这
个孩子的事情后,一位医生打电话给作者愿意免费为这个孩子提供治疗,因此这个孩子对作者表示感谢。]
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.The key to happiness
B.A lucky child
C.The value of work
D.An unforgettable experience
A [标题归纳题。文章最后一段中的“What I didn't realize until much later is that by sharing his message,my father had given me the keys to happiness.”点明了文章的主题,即幸福的秘诀在于帮助别人。故A项正确。]
