There are good people in this world. Many don't have the means to give,but they do help others.

They really shine this time of year. Maybe it's the season or maybe people notice more during the holidays. In one day,I read about two heroes to humani?ty. One is an anonymous donor from Kansas City,Missouri. They call him "Se?cret Santa". Every Christmas,he shows up at homeless shelters,food banks and other places where people in need go for help. He hands $ 100 bills to those in need. This year he travelled to parts of New York and New Jersey,where many lost everything to hurricane Sandy.

Escorted (护送) by a police motorcade made up of policemen from both New York and New Jersey,Secret Santa visited the hardest hit areas and distributed $ 100,000 to those in need.

That same day,I read about a man who has much less than Secret Santa to give away.

On November 14,2012,New York police officer Lawrence DePrimo was patrolling Times Square,when he noticed a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk. His feet were bare—no shoes or socks. Officer DePrimo was heavily dressed but was still cold that night. He wore two pairs of socks to fend off the cold.

He walked up to the man,asked him for his shoe size,went inside a nearby-shoe store and paid seventy-five dollars,walked outside,and handed him the new socks and winter boots. The man's face glowed with delight as he accepted the gift.

Officer DePrimo did this with no thought of being recognized for his kind?ness. The daughter of a former policeman ₉ Jennifer Foster, witnessed the event and took a picture that tells a story that many will never forget―a kind man giving from his own savings to a man who was cold and had nothing.

What would this world be like with more people like Secret Santa and officer DePrimo?

It could be a beautiful place.

1. What should be the best title for this passage?

A. It could be a beautiful place

B. An American policeman helped a homeless man

C. Who is the Secret Santa?

D. Who is the kindest person?

2. Which of the following is TRUE about this passage?

A. The Secret Santa refers to Lawrence DePrimo.

B. Hurricane Sandy made many people homeless in New Jersey.

C. This year the Secret Santa donated $ 100,000 in total.

D. The homeless knew who the Secret Santa was at last.

3. The underlined phrase "fend off" can be replaced by " ",

A. keep off B. put off C. hold out D. put on

4. The passage is developed by .

A. providing different examples

B. following the order of time

C. making comparisons

D. analysing causes

[文章大意]本文介绍了两位好心人帮助处于困境中的人。如果人人都像他们一样，那么这个世界将会变得非常美好。

1. A主旨大意题。根据文章的内容以及文章最后一句话可知，文章的标题应为A项。而B、 (：过于片面;D项过于宽泛。

2. B细节理解题。根据第二段中的"This year he travelled to parts of New York and New Jersey,where many lost everything to hurricane Sandy."可知，有许多新泽西人受到了飓风桑迪的影响而无家可归。

3. A词义猜测题。根据上文的内容可知，DePrimo警官穿着厚衣服但仍感到冷。他穿着两双抹子来抵挡寒冷。keep off不接近，避开；put off推迟;hold out维持;put on 穿上。

4. A写作手法题。文章首段提出文章的主题，而接下来举出两个例子，一个是"神秘圣诞老人"，另一个是用自己的工资来帮助街边无家可归的人的警官。并且最终得出结'论：如果有更多的"神秘圣诞老人"和好心的警察，这个世界就能成为一个美丽的地方。故选A项。

Last Christmas,when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade,our school held its yearly Holiday Shop. At the Holiday Shop,students can buy things like necklaces,key chains,and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts. Since my brother really wanted to take part,my mum gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts.

My mum didn't know that he had picked out a special necklace for her. When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day,he couldn't wait to show it to me. He pulled out a little green box and opened it. Inside was a gold chain with a little red flower and a man-made diamond next to gold letters that spelled out " Grandmother".

"Wow," I said, "It's beautiful. ” Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read,he didn't realize that the necklace said "Grand?mother" instead of "Mother". I knew that on Christmas morning,when he found out,he had bought the wrong necklace,he would be very unhappy,so I said nothing more about it. My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from mum until Christmas morning.

When he wasn't looking,I took the necklace and put it in my backpack. The next day I took it back to school and asked the woman who ran the Holi?day Shop if I could change it for the "Mother" necklace. She said yes. When I got home that day,I put the necklace under my brother's bed.

When my mum opened it up on Christmas morning,my brother was so exalted!My mum's eyes were filled with joy. She knew what had happened,which made the necklace even more special to her!

My brother still does not know what I did,but I knew I had done the right thing.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands,that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language,that goes to his heart.

―Nelson Mandela

But learning a language can seem daunting (令人却步的) ，so Ymgoing to provide an overview of the general strategy,before we get into the specifics.

Here is the breakdown. We'll go more in depth into each of these later on.

1. Get the right resources for learning：a grammar book,memorization software,and films or books.

2. Get a private tutor. You want one for at least a month. I recommend four hours per day.

3. Attempt to speak and think only in the new language. Every time you can't remember a word,put that word into your memorization software. Prac?tise your vocabulary daily.

4. Find friends,language partners,and other speakers of the language. Once you can have basic conversations with your private tutor,you need to find other partners. If you haven't already,think about moving to the country where the language is spoken. Consider a group class. Practise continuously. Stop speaking English.

That's the basic strategy. Again,this strategy is intensive,because learning a language in three months is a difficult task. If you'd prefer to learn the language more slowly or you don't have the ability to move to a new coun?try and practise 4〜8 hours a day,then you can modify the plan. It is extreme?ly important that you practise every day,however―20minutes a day is much better than once or twice a week.

Some of these concepts are hard to understand through the written words,so I created a video series? just for Zen Habits readers,that teaches the steps to learn a language.

1. The quote in the first paragraph is used to .

A. let readers study a famous saying

B. introduce the topic of the passage

C. show who is Nelson Mandela

D. tell readers the importance of speech

2. The passage is written for readers who speak .

A. French B. Chinese C. English D. Italian

3. The underlined word "modify" can be replaced by " "

A. change B. measure C. manage D. destroy

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Why languages can be learned rapidly?

B. The specific skills of rapid language learning
