【题目】阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk as a “reminder”.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
(1)What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A.His health problem.
B.His love for teaching.
C.The influence of his wife.
D.The news from the Web.
(2)What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A.Give out brochures.
B.Do something similar.
C.Write books for children
D.Retire from being a teacher.
(3)According to the text, Dollly Parton is ________.
A.a wellknown surgeon
B.a mother of a fouryearold
C.a singer born in Tennessee
D.a computer programmer
(4)Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A.To avoid signing up online.
B.To meet Dollywood board members.
C.To make sure the books were the newest.
D.To see if the books were of good quality.

【答案】
(1)A
(2)B
(3)C
(4)D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Tim Richter和Linda Richter夫妇是两位教师,在Tim经历了一次生死攸关的心脏手术后,他们决定在退休后加入Imagination Library,计划去帮助孩子们。

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You fall down on the road and a kid you barely know rushes over to help. You come home after a long day to find your dad has prepared your favorite meal. Just before lunch in social studies class, you learn about places where people don't have clean water or enough food.They're likely to make you feel grateful.
Gratitude (感恩) is one of many positive emotions. It's about focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have. It's taking a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are when something good happens — whether it's a small thing or a big thing.
Making a habit of gratitude can also be good for us. Like other positive emotions, feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives. Brain research shows that positive emotions are good for our bodies, minds, and brains.
Positive emotions open us up to see more possibilities and take in more information. They improve our ability to develop skills, learn, and make good decisions. When we feel grateful for someone's kindness toward us, we may be more likely to do a kindness in return. Thanking people can make it more likely they'll do a kindness again.
When we feel and express heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to people in our lives, it creates loving bonds, builds trust, and helps you feel closer.
A. Gratitude doesn't just feel good.
B. What do these have in common?
C. Gratitude can lead to positive actions.
D. Gratitude helps us build better relationships.
E. Such kind of people are more likely to succeed.
F. We can use lots of words to describe feelings of gratitude.
G. Gratitude is stopping to notice and appreciate the things that we often take for granted.
