My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we saw a man holding a piece of paper that said, “Lost my job. Family to feed.”

At this store, a scene like this is not normal. My 10-year-old son noticed him and made a comment(评论) on how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.

In the store, I asked each of my kids to pick something they thought our “friend” there would like. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old son suggested giving him a gift card. I thought about it. We didn’t have much money ourselves, but … well, sometimes giving from our need instead of our abundance(充裕) is just what we need to do! All the kids declared(宣称) something they could do away with for the week.

When we handed him the bag of food, he lit up and thanked us with wet eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for whatever his family might need, his eyes were filled with tears.

This has been a wonderful experience for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can help! Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have money to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the sweet taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. giving him some food B. giving from our need

C. giving him a postcard D. giving from our abundance

2.Which is the right order of what happened in the story?

a. The man was thankful with tears.

b. Each child picked some food for the man in the store.

c. A poor man lost his job and asked people for help.

d. All kids did away with something and gave him a gift card.

e. They saw the poor man outside the supermarket and took pity on him.

A. c-e-d-b-a B. c-e-b-d-a C. e-c-d-b-a D. e-c-b-d-a

3.What can we infer(推测) from the last paragraph?

A. They will try their best to help more people in the future.

B. They won’t help more people because they can't afford to do so.

C. They had helped many people before offering this poor man help.

D. If mother had said NO, the kids would have helped in a different way.

People drink alcohol(酒) in many parts of the world. Some medical scientists say light drinking may even be good for your health, especially for the heart. But they say such health benefits(好处) should be compared to the many health risks connected with alcohol use.

Some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may be good for your health. Several large studies have shown that this type of drinking may lower the risk of heart disease and other diseases.

A study last year suggested that drinking a little red wine may help lower the risk of breast cancer(乳腺癌) in women. Researchers at Medical Center in California studied 36 women. Each woman drank a glass of red or white wine every day for almost a month. Researchers collected blood samples(样本) from the women two times a month to test their hormone(激素) levels. The next month these women were told to exchange their wine. The researchers found that the women who drank red wine had lower levels of the female hormone than the white wine drinkers. They said red grapes have chemicals that may help to lower the risk of breast cancer.

However, recent studies suggested that even a little alcohol may generally increase the risk of breast cancer in women. They found that women who drink four small glasses of wine a week increase their risk of breast cancer by 15 percent.

Many studies have examined the harmful effects of alcohol use on the body. Alicia Ann Kowalchuk serves as medical director, saying “Healthy use for adults --- that's men under age 65 --- is no more than 4 drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks in a week. And for women of all ages, it's no more than 7 drinks in a week and no more than 2 drinks in a day.” She says too much alcohol use has something to do with liver (肝脏) diseases, and many other cancers.

1.How did the researchers carry out their study?

A. By following an example. B. By listing facts.

C. By collecting information worldwide. D. By comparing tested objects.

2.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A. B. C. D.

3.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Alcohol drinking may do harm to your health

B. Alcohol drinking can be both good and bad for you

C. Drinking alcohol is popular in many parts of the world

D. Drinking alcohol a day may give your health some benefits.

When tea was first brought to England between 1652 and 1654, it was so expensive that only the rich could buy it. It was said that an old couple had some sent to them as a great treat. But they did not know how it should be used. Finally they boiled(煮沸) the leaves, put some of them on a piece of bacon(咸肉) for dinner, ate the leaves, and threw the tea soup away. However, tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale（麦芽酒）as the national drink of England after King Charles II and his Portuguese wife began to follow this foreign tea tradition.

Before the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals—breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, big meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788—1861) experienced a ‘sinking feeling’  in the late afternoon. So she invited friends to join her for an extra afternoon meal at five o’clock in her castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for “tea and a walking the fields”.

The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common form of service soon came into practice. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine china from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second bottle (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small fire. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation.

1.The story of the old couple in Paragraph 1 is to show ____________.

A. how impolite the old couple were

B. how English people cooked tea

C. how difficult it was to introduce tea to England

D. how little English people knew about tea in those days

2.The underlined phrase “sinking feeling” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of _________.

A. hunger B. loneliness C. thirst D. anger

3.Which statement is right according to the passage?

A. Tea was first introduced to England in the 16th century.

B. Ale was the national drink of England after King Charles II.

C. The habit of drinking tea in Britain came from the upper class.

D. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford first served afternoon tea in London.

4.We can know from the passage that afternoon tea ____________.

A. helps raise the price of tea and china in England

B. leads to the wide planting and large production of tea in England

C. is not only an extra afternoon meal but helps bring people together

D. helps bring King Charles II and his wife together in their childhood

We all have habits that we want to give up. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient (方便的).

We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.

Since you know you have such a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act.

Find out how bad habits have spoiled (损坏，糟蹋) things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the timetable of your whole day.

Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy.

There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction(瘾). Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will take pride in yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it.
