At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop. I thought the job would be   36  and stress-free. I   37  myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts (炸面包圈), and becoming friends with   38  .

                I wasn’t expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was   39  creamy, or the men who wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached   40  . I couldn’t seem to   41  anyone.

              One   42  day, one of my regular customers came in looking   43  . He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.

              Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was   44  , since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of   45  .

                “It’s my   46  ,” I told him. “Have a nice day.”

                He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain.

                The next day, it was still raining. I spent my afternoon hanging   47  the window handing people their orders. I was completely wet and freezing cold.   48  , no one was tipping that day. Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.

                In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a(n)   49  . He said that not many people took time to   50  about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world. With a friendly   51  , he drove away.

                I ran to the back of the shop and read the note. It read:

                Christine,

                Thanks for being so sweet, kind and   52  yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s genuinely nice. Please don’t change your   53  ! Have a great day!—Hank

                After that, whenever I felt   54  or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile,   55  my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein(蛋白质)” in the brain.

    The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.

They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.

    The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.

    “Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy. “Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals. “

58. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. women always speak more words than men

B. men and male rats have low levels of language protein

C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2

D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative

59. The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means ______.

A. paid attention to                            B. related to                                          C. put pressure on                            D. counted on

60. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?

A. Tests on humans and rats                                                                       B. Why women are the talkative sex

C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein                                                        D. Foxp2 protein determines oral ability

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” Experience teaches that he was right. Good friendships are just not easily formed. Why?

One reason is that it is easy to move around in our society. Mr. Darrell Sifford, a news reporter for the Washington Daily, has been studying and talking about friendships for a number of years. He reports what one woman thought about the effect of ease of movement on friendship:

“I was nine, and we’d just moved from South Carolina to New Jersey, and I didn’t know anybody. My mother had a way of getting to the root of things and she said to me, ‘Amelia, I know you’re feeling bad because you don’t have any friends. But you can fix that. Just walk across the street — I know there’s a girl about your age over there — and knock on the door and ask her to be your friend.’”

“As a 9-year-old, I could do that. I knocked on the door and said, ‘Hi, my name is Amelia, and I’d like for us to be friends.’ And to my surprise, she said that she would like that too—and we became friends.”

She added that going about it directly always worked when she was a child. But as she left childhood, she found that the simple direct approach was more and more difficult for her to follow. So, as an adult, Amelia longed to have friends but her hands were tied when it came to doing anything about it. The problem, according to her, is that society teaches us in a number of ways that direct action is not an acceptable way of doing things. We need to be less direct so that our feelings will not be hurt if our offer of friendship is refused.

Mr. Sifford goes on to describe his own ideas on the subject:

“To most of us, friendship is very important, but we need to have clear in our own minds the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be very close or kept at arm’s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface?”

“For some people, an ordinary friendship is enough — and that’s all right. But at some point we need to make sure that what we expect from the friendship is the same as what our friends expect from it. If one wants more from the friendship than the other, and if this is not talked about, one is likely eventually to feel that he’s not being given enough attention.

“The sharing of close secrets, including our fears as well as our dark dreams, is the surest way to deepen friendships. But the process must be gone through slowly and continued only if there are signs of interest and our efforts are answered.”

What are some of the problems in forming friendships? According to Mr. Sifford, the biggest problem is to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships take time. Another “big difficulty” is to think one “possesses” the other and that he should spend all his time only with you. Similarly, friendships require action from both sides. In short, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of developing friendship. Unless you spend enough time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will gradually fade away.

Why is it so difficult to form friendships? Perhaps it is possible, as Mr. Sifford states, that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to develop. However, we all agree that each of us should think carefully about the kind of friendships we want. As in all interpersonal relationships, success depends on the kind of friendship we expect to have, openness to others, and a willingness to experiment.

61. By saying that “My mother had a way of getting to the root of things…” the author means that _____.

A. her mother could always find friends for her

B. her mother had a way of making friends with people

C. her mother was able to find the cause of things

D. her mother was able to solve difficult problems

62. In which of the following cases is it possible for you to develop true friendships?

A. You stay in one place for long enough with your friend.

B. You spend all your time together with your friend.

C. You completely possess your friend’s time and attention.

D. You give your friend as much as you take from him.

63. The author quoted many times what Mr. Darrell Sifford said in order to ________.

A. show respect for him                                                                      B. share the same opinion with him

C. strengthen the authority of his opinion                 D. make some comments about friendships

64. The main point we learn from the passage is _____.

A. willingness to experiment is the key to close friendship.

B. openness to others is important in interpersonal relationships

C. direct offers of friendship are not easily accepted

D. good friendships are not easily formed

“It is a dreadful thing to be poor a fortnight before Christmas,” said Clorinda, with the mournful sigh of seventeen years.

Aunt Emmy smiled. Aunt Emmy was sixty, and spent the hours she didn't spend in a bed, on a sofa or in a wheel chair; but Aunt Emmy was never heard to sigh.

“The gifts which money can purchase are not the only ones we can give,” said Aunt Emmy gently, “nor the best, either.”

“Oh, I know it’s nicer to give something of your own work,” agreed Clorinda, “but materials for fancy work cost too. That kind of gift is just as much out of the question for me as any other.”

“That was not what I meant,” said Aunt Emmy.

“What did you mean, then?” asked Clorinda, looking puzzled.

Aunt Emmy smiled.

“Suppose you think out my meaning for yourself,” she said. “That would be better than if I explained it. Besides, I don’t think I could explain it. Take the beautiful line of a beautiful poem to help you in your thinking out: ‘The gift without the giver is bare’.”

“I’d put it the other way and say, ‘The giver without the gift is bare’,” said Clorinda. “That is my predicament(窘境) exactly. Well, I hope by next Christmas I’ll not be quite bankrupt. I'm going into Mr. Callender’s store down at Murraybridge in February. He has offered me the place, you know.”

“Won’t your aunt miss you terribly?” said Aunt Emmy gravely. “I think she would rather have your companionship than a part of your salary, Clorinda,” said Aunt Emmy. “But of course you must decide for yourself, dear.”

“Well, I must say bye-bye and run home.” Clorinda lived just across the road from Aunt Emmy in a tiny white house behind some huge willows. But Aunt Mary lived there too--the only Clorinda had, for Aunt Emmy wasn’t really her aunt at all. Clorinda had always lived with Aunt Mary ever since she could remember.

Clorinda puzzled over Aunt Emmy’s meaning for days. Then all at once it came to her. On Christmas Day, Clorinda went over to Aunt Emmy’s.Aunt Emmy was lying on the sofa before the fire, and Clorinda sat down beside her.

“I’ve come to tell you all about it,” she said. “Aunt Emmy, I thought for days over your meaning ... And then one evening it just came to me. At first I didn’t think I could give some of them, and then I thought how selfish I was. I would have been willing to pay any amount of money for gifts if I had had it, but I wasn't willing to pay what I had. I got over that, though, Aunt Emmy. Now I'm going to tell you what I did give.”

“First, there was old Aunt Kitty. You know she was my nurse when I was a baby. She is always glad when I go to see her, but I’ve never gone except when I couldn’t help it. She is very deaf, and rather dull and stupid, you know. Well, I gave her a whole day. I took my knitting yesterday, and sat with her the whole time and just talked and talked. She was so pleased and proud; she told me when I came away that she hadn’t had such a nice time for years. ”

“Then there was ... Florence. You know, Aunt Emmy, we were always intimate friends until last year. Then Florence once told Rose Watson something I had told her in confidence. I found it out and I was so hurt. I couldn’t forgive Florence, and I told her plainly I could never be a real friend to her again. Florence felt badly, because she really did love me, and she asked me to forgive her, but it seemed as if I couldn’t. Well, Aunt Emmy, that was my Christmas gift to her ... my forgiveness.”

“I gave Aunt Mary her gift this morning. I told her I wasn’t going to Murraybridge, that I just meant to stay home with her. She was so glad--and I'm glad, too, now that I’ve decided so.”

“Your gifts have been real gifts, Clorinda,” said Aunt Emmy. “Something of you--the best of you--went into each of them.”

“I didn’t forget you, Aunt Emmy,” she said, as she unpinned the paper.

There was a rosebush. Aunt Emmy loved flowers. She put her finger under one of the roses and kissed it.

“It’s as sweet as yourself, dear child,” she said tenderly. “And it will be a joy to me all through the lonely winter days. You’ve found out the best meaning of Christmas giving, haven’t you, dear?”

“Yes, thanks to you, Aunt Emmy,” said Clorinda softly.

65. Clorinda felt anxious before Christmas because ___________.

A. She had to leave Aunt Mary

B. She didn’t know what kind of Christmas gifts she should buy

C. She had not enough money to buy Christmas gifts

D. She had no time to make a proper decision

66. Which of the following sentences can best explain the line “The gift without the giver is bare.”？

A. A gift is valued by the mind of the giver.

B. Forgiveness is a gift for the giver and the receiver.

C. You cannot buy love or respect with expensive gifts.

D. Think twice before you give gifts to somebody

67. What is the gift that Clorinda gave to old Aunt Kitty?

A. Passion                               B. Sympathy                               C. Kindness                               D. Company

68. What does the underlined phrase “in confidence” mean?

A. respectfully                  B. confidently                                C. secretly                                D. willingly

69. Which two words can best describe Aunt Emmy?

C. optimistic and wise                                                                           D. gentle and reserved

70. Which of the following is the best title?

C. Aunt Emmy                                                                                                  D. Clorinda’s Choice

Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner’s lives.

On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome “The First Day Fears.” By the way, giving hugs for the first full week wouldn’t hurt either. Hugs are ly inexpensive and apparently very healthy.

It’s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.

Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids, who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.

Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, “A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child’s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.”

Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there’s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.

A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!
