Growing up in my Grandma’s house as a boy was an experience that would shape me for the rest of my life. We were poor in everything but . yet I learned so much about life there. My Mom, Dad, Grandma, two , and I were all into a home made from two old shabby cars. I always knew what my next would look like because I had seen my older brother them the year before, I always knew what we were going to be in winter, because I had it in the garden during the summer. , I never felt poor. No king ever ate as good as we did on Sundays after church when Grandma her homemade meatballs, spaghetti（意大利式細(xì)面條）and freshly baked bread.

we had so little I can still remember Dad, Mom, and Grandma giving so much. We were always with others. Everyone who our family could expect a of spaghetti, or a jar of vegetables, or a flower pot full of fresh flowers. I can still remember my parents’ eyes whenever they passed something on to others. We never felt than when we shared what we were given. I learned early that the greatest joy comes from giving getting. Giving makes your spirit greater.

Don’t be afraid to what you have to others. Share everything you have. If you have a beautiful , then smile at whoever you come across. If you have a few extra dollars, then give them to the people in need. If you have a talent, then share it with others. If you have a heart full of love, then give it to everyone. No life ever truly lives it becomes a gift, so make your whole life a gift to the world.

試題分析：人生最大的快樂來源于給予，而不是索取。生命只有在它成為對(duì)世界對(duì)他人的禮物后，它才算真正地活過。

1.

2.ecause I had seen my older brother 25 them the year before, ”可知，和“我”住在一起的除了祖母和父母外，還有我的兩個(gè)哥哥。所以，選擇B.brothers.

3.A. divided“分開”B. admitted“承認(rèn)，準(zhǔn)許進(jìn)入”C. locked“鎖”D. crowded“擁擠，擠”，文章此部分主要講“我”的家經(jīng)濟(jì)上并不富裕，所以一家人“擠”著住在一個(gè)由兩輛破車改造而成的家里。故只能填D. crowded.

4.because I had seen my older brother them the year before”可知，“我”從“我”的哥哥前一年穿的衣服就知道，今年“我”要穿什么了。所以該空填名詞D.clothes.

5. 動(dòng)詞ing辨析。“我”知道“我”將要穿什么衣服，通過看哥哥前一年“穿”什么，故答案為C.wearing.

6. 動(dòng)詞辨析�！拔摇敝馈拔覀儭痹诙臁俺浴笔裁�，因?yàn)椤拔摇痹谙奶煲言诓藞@里種下了種子。所以，該空選擇B.eating.

7. A. developed“發(fā)展，”B. planted“種植”C. polluted“污染”D. poisoned“下毒，毒害”，冬天能吃上的東西，顯然是在夏天的時(shí)候已經(jīng)“種”上了，所以答案定為B.planted.

8.A. Meanwhile“同時(shí)”B. Therefore“所以”C. Besides“此外”D. However“然而”，此空副詞的選擇，要考慮上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，上文主要講“我”的家境貧寒，但該句的句意為“‘我’并不覺得窮�！彼�，填D.However，表示轉(zhuǎn)折。

9.A. cooked“煮，做飯”B. Earned“賺得，掙得”C. washed“洗”D. sold“賣”，由上文“No king ever ate as good as we did”（皇帝也沒我們吃的好），所以該處應(yīng)是祖母為“我們”“做”的意大利面和現(xiàn)烤的面包。此空正確答案為A.cooked.

10.A. Unless“除非” B. Since“因?yàn)�，自從…以來”C. When“當(dāng)…的時(shí)候” D. Although“雖然，盡管”，該句的句意為：“雖然‘我們’有的東西不多，但‘我’記得父母和祖母給了‘我’很多。”所以，選 D. Although來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。

12.A. visited“拜訪，訪問”B. warned“警告，提醒”C. supposed“假設(shè)，認(rèn)為”D. saved“救，節(jié)省”,根據(jù)文意顯然是每個(gè)“客人”到“我”家都會(huì)得到一盤意大利面或是一罐菜或是一個(gè)裝滿了花的花盆�！翱腿恕奔磂veryone who visited our family(拜訪我們的人)，所以選A.visited.

13.A. basket“籃子”B. cup“杯子”C. spoon“匙，一勺”D. plate“盤子”，根據(jù)常識(shí)，我們往往用盤子來裝意大利面，故選D. plate.

14.A. opened“打開”B. shone“發(fā)光，閃耀”C. hurt“傷害”D. glanced“一瞥”，該句講的是“我”的父母無論何時(shí)在給別人東西時(shí)，他們的眼神都是明亮的。所以，此空填B. Shone.

15.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.

With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.

Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.

Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”

1.The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.

why certain people age sooner than others

B. how to make people live longer

C. the size of certain people’s brains

D. which people are most intelligent

2.On what are their research findings based?

C. persons chosen to be studied in an experiment

D. any member of a state except the supreme ruler.

4.According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.

At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.

I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.

It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch—the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset. Using your mobile, they say, is easily affected by other people.

A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they’re with someone who has just done the same. It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more ‘consistent ’ with the daily lives of women.

The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus, observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 10-second intervals.

“What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones, ” Dr Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we observed used his／her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own. ’’

Overall, the students used their cellphones in an average of 24 percent, the researchers found. But they were significantly more likely to use their phones (39.5 percent) when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue, the researchers said, adding that this behavior was often repeated.

Cell phones create an alternative way for one’s attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities, the researchers wrote.

Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection. If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone, his or her companion may feel rejected. That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out.

 

1.People’s strong desire to check their messages partly results from ___________.

A. the same behavior of other people

B. the new messages of their handsets

C. the update service of Facebook

D. the modern substitute of their watches

2.Why do women use their phones more frequently?

A. They want to show off their modern mobiles.

B. They desire to meet the demands of society.

C. They try to set a good example for others.

D. They are more likely to be influenced by others.

3.How might one feel when his companion is busy checking messages?

A. Relaxed. B. Ashamed.

C. Ignored. D. Surprised.

4.The underlined part “this behavior” in Paragraph 5 refers to _______________.

A. receiving social clues B. using the cellphones

C. joining in activities D. engaging in conversations

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Social Acceptance And Rejection

B. Females Use Mobiles More than Men

C. How Do People Check Messages?

D. Cellphone Use Is Spreading
