Alexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.
On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.
By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces(支架). She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficul-ties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors (肿瘤)had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植)and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand. ” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to help other kids, like they helped me. True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $ 2,000 for her hospital.
People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life.

Please don’t Hope.Decide!
While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.
Trying to locate my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags.He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you.I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing.They stared at each other’s eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands.For an instant they reminded me of a couple who recently got married, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.
Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without stopping staring at his lovely wife’s face.“Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was surprised. By the intensity(强度) of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks---if not months.I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and murmured offhandedly(随便的,不假思索的), “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”
The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked at me straight in the eye.With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person.“Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”
With that, he and his family turned and went away together.
I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

D. Their three kids reminded the author of a couple who recently got married.
2.By saying “my expression betrayed me” (in Paragraph 4), the author means that _______.
A. his expression was not faithful to him
B. he didn’t believe in his expression any more
C. the man sensed his real feelings from his expression
D. he failed to express his ideas to the man

Indoor Plants
As with any house guests,indoor plants require a certain amount of basic,regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.
A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit,a position out of cold air,safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.
Plants love company. When plants are growing together,they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.
Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood,but,again,if you follow a few simple rules,your plants should do well. Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October,and during this time,the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important,however,to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive,when the soil in the pot is dry,or too soon after the plants has been potted up.
1.In Paragraph 2,the author mainly tells us to___________.
A. but plants that help clean indoor air
B. create a new environment with plants
C. put plants on the sunny side of the room
D. make sure of suitable conditions for plants
2.What’s the benefit of plants growing together?
A. It provides owners good company.
B. It helps the air around them slightly wet.
C. It makes it convenient to look after them.
D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.
3.While watering the plants,what should we remember to do?
A. Use water that is a little warm.
B. Pour the water into the pot holder.
C. Give small amount of water at one time.
D. Consider further watering in dry weather.
4.What is the best time to feed the plants?
A. When the soil is dry.
B. When their growth is active.
C. When the temperature is high.
D. When they have just been planted.

Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.
Mark looked at the chart taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.
It was too much for Mark. “ The problems are too big. ” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said ,“ I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”
Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “ People should just take care of themselves.” He decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”
As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved , her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “ Thanks!” she said. “You have got great timing!”
“ Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he had a quick look at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “ Maybe that’s a good place to start.”
