    The day was Thankful Thursday, our “ regular day” of service. It’s a __36__tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. On this __37__ Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do.
    __38__ along a busy road, we prayed for guidance in search of __39__our weekly Act of Kindness. My girls were__40__, and started shouting “ McDonald’s” . Suddenly I realized that almost every crossing I__41__ was occupied by a beggar, and then it hit me! All these beggars must be hungry. Perfect! We were going to buy__42__for them.
    It was a great way to__43__. The Act of Kindness was anonymous(匿名的)，and we loved what we saw in the back view mirror: a__44__and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us__45__we drove off.
    We had come to the end of our “ route” where there was a small woman standing there, asking for__46__. We handed her our final lunch bag, and then made a U-turn to head back in the opposite direction for home. Unfortunately, the light stopped us. I was __47__and didn’t know quite how to behave.
    “No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” the woman said with__48__. I replied, “Well, I’m glad that we were the first one.”__49__ uneasy , and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, when do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”
    “Oh honey, I’m not going to__50__this lunch.” I was confused , and she continued , “I have a little girl of my own at home and she just __51__ McDonald’s , but I can never buy it for her because I just don’t have the __52__ . You know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s !”
    So many times I had__53__whether our Acts of Kindness were too small or insignificant to really__54__any difference . Yet in that moment, I recognized the__55__of Mother Teresa’s words, “We cannot do great things---only small things with great love.”

    In my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.
    On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.
    Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.
    There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.
    People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.
    小题1:In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when           .
    A．hunters shoot at animals
    B．they aim at a criminal
    C．objects are under control
    D．objects are only small tin cans in the backyard
    小题2:According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because         .
    A．hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animals
    B．state government encourages hunters to use other guns
    C．nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animals
    D．most hunters use rifles rather than handguns
    小题3:This passage mainly talks about           .
    A．the relation between hunting and handgun control
    B．the importance of aim practice
    C．how handgun control affects hunting
    D．different types of guns used in hunting

    The Loss of Innocence（纯真）
    Innocence is such a precious gift. It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt-free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
    What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨） among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun, the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
    However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.
    The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angry at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline（减少） in production and quality of needed goods.
    Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost. It was god's will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.
    小题1:The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be______.
    A．avoidedB．criticizedC．acceptedD．encouraged
    小题2:Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that__________.
    A．proper education would be provided
    B．there would be no racial discrimination
    C．there would be more happy families
    D．people would realize their childhood dreams
    小题3: According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of____ .
    A．motivational will
    B．mental ability
    C．adventurous ambitions
    D．needed goods

    Endangered languages are languages that wouldn’t exist any longer, much like endangered species of plants or animals. Languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is considered to nearly disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.
    The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.
    It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in education and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of its speakers.
    The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school, official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those speaking lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater economic opportunities. Most of the world’s parents are teaching their children English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and economic reasons.
    小题1:What’s the main idea of this passage?
    A．Languages in the world.
    B．Reasons why languages become endangered.
    C．What an endangered language is.
    D．Languages spoken by few speakers.
    小题2:About ________languages will probably disappear in this century according to the passage.
    A．more than 6,912B．more than 3,456C．6,912D．less than 3,456
    小题3:Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
    ①=Paragraph1   ②=Paragraph2  ③=Paragraph3  ④=Paragraph4

    小题4:We can infer that the best way to maintain an endangered language is to _________.
    A．forbid the speakers to move about
    B．pass laws to protect the language
    C．raise the salaries of the people who speak the language
    D．teach the language to young children and encourage people to speak it often
    小题5:All of the following about languages are true EXCEPT __________.
    A．many languages will be probably endangered in this century
    B．government policies have a big effect on languages
    C．the endangered language is a language that is spoken by a few people
    D．languages are related to their speakers’ social and economic position

    Why Rent Textbooks?
    Renting textbooks is a relatively new idea for everyone. Back in the old days, the idea of renting one never existed since the books are affordable or readily available in libraries. But the time has changed and with the changes in educational system and various economic challenges happening across the globe, the price of textbooks increased.
    Given such fact, textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students. Research was made to find out if renting helps one save money and time rather than buying new textbooks and realized that it really is. Let’s examine carefully further and see why renting books is a cost-effective way to still get to have your textbooks without shelling too much money from your pocket.
    Gives value for your money
    You don’t have to buy all of your textbooks. Those non-major subjects, are better acquired through renting. It saves one money and helps you give out the money you save on some other personal possessions you need in college.
    Renting textbooks allows you to save at least 50% off the standard retail (零售) price for each item. You can tell, with a little research, that renting is a lot cheaper compared to buying used books aside from looking way better than the former.
    Saves time
    You can save a great deal of time when renting a textbook. Instead of browsing your way for hours trying to look for better deals online, you can simply go to a popular book renting marketplace online and just order away. There is literally no need to skimming for hours and see where you can find a great deal. Often, the rental company gives you prepaid postage slip just to get you going and do the same when you decide to return the book.
    This process not only saves you time, it also saves other resources like gas if you decide to go to the nearest bookstore to buy books or spend hours using electricity just to find a good deal.
    User Friendly
    Aside from being able to save money and time, renting textbooks brings convenience to all users. Imagine trying to scan the virtual bookshelf and checking on comments of previous users and figuring out which ones got bad comments and which had great ones. It could be fun at first but if you are short of time, the process can become annoying.
    If you rent books, you will only be needing the book’s ISBN number and find it right away. No more time-wasting site search. Type in the ISBN number, order the book, and wait for it to get shipped to your home.
    小题1:The reason why people haven’t the habit of renting textbooks in the old days is that ______.
    A．the educational system has not changed by now
    B．people can afford books or get books easily in libraries
    C．different economic challenges happen across the world
    D．the price of textbooks is much higher than that of nowadays
    小题2:The underlined word “shelling” in paragraph 2 means “______”.
    A．savingB．spendingC．removingD．wasting
    小题3:The following statements are the reasons why textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students EXCEPT ______.
    A．One can save a great deal of time in browsing for better deals online
    B．It brings convenience to all the users apart from saving money and time
    C．The process saves other resources if you don’t go to the nearest bookstore
    D．It saves one money and helps him spend money on what he need most in college
    小题4:The passage mainly tells us that ______.
    A．renting textbooks allows you to save a lot of money
    B．renting a textbook can also save you a great deal of time
    C．textbook renting was a relatively new fashion among college students
    D．textbook renting is a money-saving, fun, and, convenient way for college students

    Children of America are getting fatter every time. 13% of the children at the age of 6 to 11 are overweight(too fat).
    When we look at children’s lives today in the USA, we can see the root(origin)of the problem--sports and foods. Young children like sports but they don’t have enough around the start of high school. That’s especially true for girls. Meanwhile, to make matters worse, schools are becoming much more interested in sports teams. So children are not able to get enough exercise just when they need it the most. There is also the food problem. Children get most of their calories(热量) at restaurants or parties or somewhere else away from home. They often drink too many Cokes. Parents have a lot of fears about telling a child he needs to lose weight-- they are afraid it will push a child into an eating disorder. Some parents fear that pushing children to lose weight means their children will think they’re not good enough, or not loved because of their weight. Parents need to come to terms with the fact that the family is very important to the children. The most useful program for children is called "family weight control". This is good news. Mom and Dad, even if they don’t have weight problems, have to go through the same program as their children and learn how to get some exercise and how to eat healthily.                                                                      
    小题1:Why are American children getting fatter? The writer thinks_______.
    A．parents also have weight problem as their children
    B．children drink too many Cokes
    C．schools are more interested in sports teams
    D．children have less exercise and eat unhealthily
    小题2:The writer wants to tell parents that_______.
    A．overweight children are not loved by people
    B．children are afraid to lose weight when they have to
    C．family members can help overweight children a lot
    D．girls don’t like to exercise
    小题3:The writer thinks if mother or father is on the same program as their children, _______.
    A．"family weight control" will be successful
    B．it will make the children eat much more
    C．their children will not eat better
    D．parents will feel sorry about themselves
