【题目】Things to Start Doing for Yourself

Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year:

Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now but also accept who you want to be. 1

Start facing your problems head-on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. 2 With your problems, take baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, which add up to yards and miles in the long run.

3 Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest a- bout what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest about every aspect of your life because you are the person you can forever count on.

Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4 Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5 It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.

Start cheering for other people’s victories. Notice what you like about others and tell them. Be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings (赐福) openly.

A. Forgiveness is the medicine.

B. Mistakes are the stepping stones of progress.

C. They are the ones who make you feel more alive.

D. Start being honest with yourself about everything.

E. Problems will not disappear unless you take action.

F. It doesn’t mean you’re out of trouble.

G. You are in competition with yourself.

【题目】An old man went to live with his son, daughterinlaw, and fouryearold grandson. The family ate together at the table, but his shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughterinlaw became angry with the mess. So they set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while they enjoyed dinner.

Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The grandson watched silently. One evening, the father noticed the son playing with wood scraps(碎块) and asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy responded, “Oh, I am making a bowl for you and Mum to eat your food in when I grow up.”

The words struck the parents so hard that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. The son gently led Grandfather back to their table. From then on, he ate every meal with them. Neither of them seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

【题目】阅读理解
Tea,the most typical English drink,became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess,Catherine of Braganza,the queen of Charles II.As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal,she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the 17th century.The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes,and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day.Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning,thus inventing a lasting British institution,the“tea break”. However,drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.
Around 1 800,the seventh Duchess of Bedford,Anne Maria,began the popular practice of“afternoon tea,”a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock.Until then,people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner.At approximately the same time,the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices,with something like jam or cucumbers between them.Before long,a small meal at the end of the afternoon,involving tea and sandwiches,had become part of the British way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century,its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus,tea became Britain's favorite drink.In working-class households,it was served with the main meal of the day,eaten when workers returned home after a day's labor.This meal has become known as“high tea”.Today,tea can be drunk at any time of the day,and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain-with the exception of water.
(1)What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?
A.Its popularity in Europe.
B.Its development in Britain.
C.Its influence around the world.
D.Its traditional ways of drinking.
(2)Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?
A.It was merely served in London.
B.It was taxed as an alcoholic drink.
C.It was too expensive for most people.
D.It was forbidden in business settings.
(3)How is the text organized?
A.In time order.
B.By comparison.
C.By cause and effect.
D.In frequency order.

【题目】In many African countries, the care of orphans has been mainly led by foreign donor organizations. However, Sister Florence has changed all that. Using her own resources, Sister Florence is leading the work of raising orphans from different backgrounds. Sister Florence Wanjala’s biggest motivation to start the orphan program was when she saw a little boy whose parents had died. The boy was living with a cruel grandparent and he would visit the grave of his mother, crying for support. Sister Wanjala wanted to give a helping hand and give him hope. From that time, she started feeling the call to help a larger number of orphans.

She opened an office with a few friends and coordinated (协调)a program to help the orphans. All the registrations were done in the office and the program so far has 8000 children. Sister Wanjala said, “My dream is to help the orphan to live a holistic (完整)life and be a good Kenyan citizen to help this country. Many people think that the way to support orphans is to put them in an institution. Others support them up to the age of eighteen, but here, we do it very differently.” For Sister Wanjala, putting a child in an institution is normally her last choice . She prefers the orphans to live in a foster home.

She said, “I’m so encouraged and happy to see the orphans succeeding. When they come first or second in class, it shows how the program has helped them, and that’s encouraging to me as I continue to coordinate the program.” Through her charity work, more than 1000 orphans have been able to find a home. Sister Wanjala, as a mother, takes care of her own family.

1What inspired Sister Wanjala to start the orphan program

A. Her preference for kids.

B. Her own similar experience.

C. A sad story about an orphan.

D. Her successful charity work.

2Sister Wanjala opened an office mainly to ______.

A. set up as many institutions as possible for orphans

B. start a program to offer orphans a foster family

C. provide school education for those orphans

D. raise more money for the homeless kids

3What does the underlined sentence probably mean

A. She didn’t want orphans to live in an institution.

B. She preferred to put orphans into an institution.

C. She had no choice but to put orphans in institutions.

D. She sent orphans into an institution in the end.

4What can we learn from the text
