Free Sweets in His Taxi to Delight and Heal（治愈）
Mansoor Khalid, a 37-year-old electrical engineer from Pakistan, has been driving a
yellow taxi in New York City since 1996．In 2010, his son, Saad, was born with a heart
disease. Every time Mr. Khalid visited him in the hospital after his day shift（轮班）, he
would bring much 13 to drink during nights to take care of his son. He even gave some to
the doctors and nurses there, who called him "coffee man".
Last April, Saad died at 18 months old. Although Mr. Khalid was so sad, he had to 14
to work. After his son's death, he got into the habit of buying some sweets for his passengers,
which nearly cost him $300 every month.
From his experience in the hospital with his son, Mr. Khalid learned that giving to others
could at least 15 his feeling of loss, if not heal it.
"I'd like to buy something for people; I feel 16 ," Mr. Khalid said. "When you give
something from your hand, someone gives a smile to you in return.”
Since then, he has become famous on the Internet. His kind behavior 17 a lot of
customers, with more pickups from fans who send their positions to him on Twitter or
Facebook.
But he doesn't expect the 13,000 other yellow taxis to do the same. The $300 a month
Mr. Khalid spends on candy would 18 help many people to support their families for a
time. Actually, it is not a small sum.
"If you think about it, you will 19 why he does it, after all, you don't get that sort of
kindness very often." said Juan Miranda, who drives Mr. Khalid's taxi during the nights.
"Everybody is sometimes unhappy and stressed. Living in New York City is not very
easy, so when passengers see all the candies, chocolates, they will cheer up in a short time,"
Mr. Khalid explained. "Some people even start crying with 20 ."

Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a
Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty
books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street,
he saw a poor family.
"I wish you a happy New Year." said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man
shook his head.
"You are not from this country?" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could
not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking
with cold, as if（好像）to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward
quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave
one to the man and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We
thank you so much that we will remember you all the time."
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head
a moment, but quickly looked up.
"I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed

to be very hungry then." He went on, "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year."
"My dear boy," said his father, "Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness
of heart than as a New-Year gift."
"I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little

Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing
the cookie—the evidence（证据）of candy written on his or her face. However, the kid often
gives a denial, "I didn't do it!"
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral（道
德）development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get
there.
Early in 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose
48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl
doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about
the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing（承认错误）it. In each case, they asked the children,
"How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?"
The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement
with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood.
More of the four-to-five-year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the
stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be
angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely
to think the child would feel better confessing the wrongdoing and that the parent would have
positive（积极的）feelings towards a confessor.
Smith says, "Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's
confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel
you must punish the wrong action." He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to
listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is
easier when they are young. The potential（潜在的） mistakes carry greater risks, and part of
being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
27．What does the expression "gives a denial" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．refuses to tell the truth B．decides to blame the parent
C．prepares to accept the truth D．begins to shout at the parent
28．What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?
A．Kids of all ages are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.
B．Younger children would feel better confessing the wrongdoing.
C．Older kids thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
D．Older kids are more likely to confess to an act than younger children.
29．What can we learn from the passage?
A．It's easy for kids to confess their mistakes.
B．Parents should at once punish the kids who lied.
C．It takes time for children to learn to tell the truth.
D．Parents should never get angry after kids' confessions.
30．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Why children like telling lies when they are young.
B．How children feel when they confess their mistakes.
C．Why parents must punish their children's wrong actions.
D．How parents should treat their children when they make mistakes.

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing
all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the
subject, let's take a look at three kinds of "waits".
The very typical form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most
boring of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example. There is completely
nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.
During these waits, the brain flies away from the body and has your head in the clouds until
the water runs out of the sink and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless
and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires the waiter to do in
a controlled way and follow the directions. Properly preparing noodle soup required a Forced
Wait. Directions are very clear. "Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, cook it slowly for
three minutes, stop heating, let stand five minutes." I have my doubts that anyone has actually
followed the directions strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful kind of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This kind of wait is
unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary（自愿的）. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is
also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires trust and hope, and is strictly for the
optimists（乐观主义者）among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous（荒谬的）as
following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are
willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to pass on it, wishing for a few good things to
happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a lot of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the
sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of
cash falls out of the sky, be confident and patient. Good things come to those who wait, better
things come to those who wait longer. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.
31．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A．The Watched-Pot Wait connects body and brain.
B．The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D．The Forced Wait makes people active.
32．The writer probably agrees that .
A．The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't give people faith and hope.
B．Everyone really follows the directions during the Forced Wait.
C．The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't always bring the expected result.
D．The waiter doesn't need to do anything during the Watched-Pot Wait.
33．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A．To question about people's behaviors of waiting.
B．To show why people are impatient while waiting.
C．To help people know their feelings while waiting.
D．To advise us not to lose heart while we're waiting.

Every month we look at a different artist. We think Haroshi is super
cool—he makes sculptures from skateboards.
Haroshi is in his late 30s. He's a skateboarder but he also makes
things from wood. He began skateboarding when he was 15 years old and
he loved it. He used to skate every day. Now, if you know anything about
skateboarding, you'll know that skateboards don't last forever because
they break. Haroshi didn't throw his out but he collected them. Over
time he built up a big collection and at the same time he learnt about all the different types of
skateboards. Surprisingly, not all skateboards are of the same shape and actually they are often
built in different ways. By the time he was 25, he had a lot of collections of old skateboards.
He decided he had to do something with them so he started to cut them up. As he was
doing that, he noticed some interesting patterns（图案）in the wood. He then cut more and
fixed them on top of each other. The first thing he created from the wood was a piece of
jewelry. He created something new from something old.
Today, however, he is known for his large 3D wooden sculptures. His ideas generally
come from skateboarding culture, from skateboarding cats to cool trainers, but also everyday
topics such as hurting yourself, getting better, being crazy about something and growing up.
All skateboarders will understand these. Haroshi has made over 40 pieces and each piece takes
sculpture

a very long time. There is no doubt that he is very talented. But he had no formal art training.
He taught himself.
Haroshi held an exhibition（展览）in London last month. As we entered the first room,
we saw a huge bird that covered one wall. There was also a sculpture called Ordinary Life. It
looked like a broken leg—a very common problem, of course. It's unbelievable to think that
these sculptures are all made from broken skateboards. But there's something else that is really
interesting about Haroshi's works. In the twelfth century, Unkei, a sculptor, placed a glass ball
in each of his works to show the heart of the piece. Haroshi also places something inside his
sculptures—a piece of broken skateboard. In this way, he gives his sculptures life. We think
that is just amazing!
34．When did Haroshi begin skateboarding?
35．What was the first thing Haroshi created from the wood?
36．How many pieces of sculptures has Haroshi made?
37．What kind of person is Haroshi according to the passage?
38．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
