Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families.With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted.This year, Kinzie, her seven - year - old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22 - year - old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12 - month - old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday.A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through.No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children' s faces at the news.Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom.She returned, her face set with determination.Opening up her piggy bank, she put all thecoins onto the table: $ 3.30.Everything she had.
Mom, she told Ann, "I know it's not much.But maybe this will buy a present for the baby." At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter's story.To her surprise , staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie.By day' s end, the story of Kinzie's gift had spread beyond Ann's office.She received a call from an unknown donor.If a seven - year - old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1.He contributed $ 300.
On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived. Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.
Ashley was very moved.Reflecting on a little girl's generosity, Ashley says she'll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need."Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away," Ashley says."She's the type of kid I'd like my son to grow up to be."

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self - respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized (把…歸類) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (卑鄙的) excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don' t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self- respect.We would also demonstrate (演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be honor-able .Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self - respect is increased.Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.www.xkb1.com
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it' s easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
61.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_____.
A.self - respect B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability D.friendly relationship
62.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
A.lying B.stealing C.cheating D.advertising
63.The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means _____.
A.telling the truth to the clerk B.offering advice to the clerk
C.asking the clerk to be more attentive D.reminding the clerk of the charged item
64.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A.We 11 be very excited. B.We' 11 feel unfortunate.
C.We'll have a sense of honor. D.We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
65.Which of the following can be the best tide of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully B.Importance of Peacefulness
C.Ways of Gaining Self - respect D.Happiness through Honorable Actions

The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一時的風尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i" ?and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer ?which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ?adopted the title in 2008.A lovely bear ?popular in the US and UK ?that plays music and video is called "iTeddy".
A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name "i".
In general, single -letter prefixes (前綴) have been popular since the 199Cb, when terms such as e -mail and e - commerce first came into use.
Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's i , it s no surprise that they' ve selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i".Why not use "a", "b", or "c" instead? According to Tony Thome, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, "i" works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses "i", no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thome told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn' t have one clear definition," he says.
"However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (輕便) ."adds Thorne. Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.
Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with "Google" and "blog", readers of BBC Magazines voted "i" as one of the top 20 words
that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s, products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modem.However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.
66.People use iPlayer to _____.
A.listen to music B.make a call
C.watch TV programs online D.read newspapers
67.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is aimed at ______.
A.young readers B.old readers
C.fashionable women D.engineers
68.The underlined word "ambiguous" means "____".
A.popular B.uncertain C.definite D.unique
69.Nowadays, -the "i" term often reminds people of the products which are ______.
A.portable B.environmentally friendly
C.advanced D.recyclable
70.The writer suggests that _____.
A."i" products are often of high quality
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the products
D.the popularity of "i" products may not last long
D
Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (長壽) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Fair, who wrote that widows and widowers (鰥夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could and as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's.The effect holds for all rouses of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite from the University of Chicago has found that .I married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke.There's a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse's death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.
Even so, the odds favour marriage.In a 30 - year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio - economic factors, health – service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms.For example, social contact can boost development of die brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression ?later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological 9 benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner, children and good friends arc all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, hut Christakis says: "People are interconnected, so their health
is interconnected.
71.William Fair's study and other studies show that _____.
A.social life provides an effective cure for illness
B.being sociable helps improve one' s quality of life
C.women benefit more than men from marriage
D.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity
72.Linda Waite's studies support the idea that______.
A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthy
B.marriage can help make up for ill health
C.the married are happier than the unmarried
D.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life
73.It can be inferred from the context that the "Hip side" (Line 4.Para.2) refers to ______.
A.the disadvantages of being married
B.the emotional problems arising from marriage
C.the responsibility of taking care of one's family
D.the consequence of a broken marriagexkb1.com
74.What does the minor say about social networks?
A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.
B.They help develop people's community spirit.
C.They provide timely support for those in need.
D.They help relieve people of their life's burdens.
75.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.It's important that we develop a social network when young.
B.To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.
C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.
D.We should share our social networks with each other

(1)A one - person solar car that can be transformed into an electric moped ( 助力車 ) , a door light powered by opening and closing a door and a cloak (披風) of invisibility are three innovative inventions recently created by college students.
Here comes the sun
(2)The 100- kilogram blue solar car invented by 10 students at Southwest University's College of Engineering and Technology in Chongqing has a top with four solar panels that charge the battery that powers the auto. "The car is easy to drive. A person without any driving experiences could learn to use it in several minutes. It fits for campus and the golf course," He Daijie, the leader of the invention team and a senior at the college, told the Global Times. "Or if one prefers it can be turned into an electric moped," he said.
Seeing the light
(3) Four students at Shenyang University of Technology in Liaoning Province invented a door light powered by electric energy produced by opening and closing a door.
(4)When people open or close a door, tlie door produces mechanical energy that could be turned into electric energy. After numerous tests for several months, the students fixed a joint lever (liE^ff) above the door that connects the door and a speeding gear case to drive a generator attached to the door and send energy to storage cells. The storage cells provide ______ for the light.
Invisibility cloak
(5) Many people daydream of an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter's and three graduate students in optics (光學) from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (航空航天) have actually nvented one. Special Ferro - electric (鐵電體) materials on the cloak reduce the scattering of light of an object wrapped with the cloak, and thus making the object "invisible," according to Li Peining, one of the three students. Li said he is confident about the future of the cloaks. "With the appearance and application of new meta - materials, the cloak could be used in military battles and communications," he said.
