【题目】I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £110 million a year, funding(资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
【1】The author loves the charity shop mainly because of .
A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goods
C. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment
【2】The first charity shop in the UK was set up to .
A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted things
C. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?
A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. What to Buy at Charity Shops.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
D. The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.

【题目】Lifestyle changes are a process that takes time and requires support. Here are five tips from the American Psychological Association to help you make lasting, positive lifestyle and behavior changes.
Make a plan that will stick.
Your plan is a map that will guide you on this journey of change. 【1】 Want to exercise more? Detail the time of day when you can take walks and how long you’ll walk. Write anything down, and ask yourself if you’re confident that these activities and goals are realistic for you.
Start small.
After you’ve identified realistic short-term and long-term goals,break down your goals into small,manageable steps that can be measured. If your long-term goal is to lose 20 pounds within the next five months, a good weekly goal would be to lose one pound a week. 【2】
Change one behavior at a time.
Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time, so replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Many people run into problems when they try to change too much or too fast. 【3】
【4】
Whether it is a friend, co-worker or family member,someone else on your journey will keep and motivated and accountable. Perhaps it can be someone who will go to the gym with you or someone who is also trying to stop smoking.
Ask for support.
Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your commitment. If you feel unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking help from psychologists.
Making changes takes time and commitment, but you can do it. 【5】 Minor missteps on the road to your goals are normal and okay. Resolve to recover and get back on track.
A. When making your plan, be specific.
B. Just keep it in mind that no one is perfect.
C. Find a partner.
D. Communicating with your friends.
E. Careful planning means setting small goals and taking one step at a time.
F. To improve your success, focus on one goal or change at a time.
G. By taking steps gradually you’ll feel successful in meeting your goal.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚),and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare,I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention.
It was difficult to walk together—and because of that,we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out,he always said,“You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work. He went to work sick,and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.
When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help. At such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,N.Y.,on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there,he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now,I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”,and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don't know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
He has been away for many years now,but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles,when I am envious of another's good fortune,when I don't have a “good heart”.
(1)How did the man treat his father when he was young?
A.He helped his father happily.
B.He never helped his father.
C.He helped his father,but not very happily.
D.He only helped his father take a walk after supper.
(2)As a disabled man,his father ________.
A.didn't work very hard
B.didn't go to work from time to time
C.hated those who had good fortune
D.was happy and satisfied,and never lost hope
(3)What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article?It means ________.
A.anger
B.sadness
C.happiness
D.unwillingness
(4)How did the father get to work usually?
A.By subway.
B.By bus.
C.By wheelchair.
D.By bike.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too(quick). So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was far
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, thein the summer, and the youngest son went in the autumn. When they had all(go) and came back, he called them together to describe what they(see).
The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no—it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son(agree). He said it was full of flowers that looked very beautiful.
The last son said it was full of fruit.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all wrong,they had each seen just one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge what a tree is, or how a person is,only one season. The(please), joy and love come from that life can only be measured at the end.
If you give up when it's winter, you(miss)the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer and the fruit of your fall.
