One morning, my newspaper wasn’t delivered on time. Since I always brought it to work, it upset me that I would have to pick one up on my way to work. After breakfast, I was already running late, but figured I could make it if I hurried.
As I pulled into the parking lot of the store, I noticed a young man in a wheelchair who seemed to be struggling. “Someone else will stop and help him,” I thought.
However, no one stopped. I got out, and walked over to see what the trouble was.
“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. It was then that I noticed he wasn’t able to speak, and was still struggling with the chair.
I looked down at the chair and noticed that the clamps (夹具) holding the electronic keyboard had apparently become loose causing the equipment to slip down, out of his reach.
I pulled it back into place and then re-tightened the clamps. He hit a key on the keyboard. An electronic voice told me, “Thank you.” He then found the control that steered (操纵) the chair, turned and left.
I got back in my car and headed off to work, completely forgetting my newspaper. As I drove, I felt a deep gratitude (感激). I was truly blessed to have the physical abilities that allow me to live a normal life. Here was this young man who relied on machines to get around and communicate. He probably dreamed about doing all the things that I thought were normal and simple.
It’s funny; fifteen minutes before that happened, I was whining because my morning paper hadn’t arrived on time. I was glad I helped the young man, because he helped me gain a new viewpoint on everything I had in my life.
1.Why did the author stop at the store?
A. To do his job. B. To have breakfast.
C. To buy a newspaper. D. To drive a colleague to work.
2.What was the young man trying to reach?
A. The clamps. B. The car key.
C. The wheelchair. D. The electronic keyboard.
3.What does the underlined word “whining” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Complaining. B. Worrying.
C. Arguing. D. Crying.
4.What did the author learn from the experience?
A. Treasure what we have. B. Treat the disabled nicely.
C. Technology has changed our lives. D. Don’s get annoyed over small things.

Forgiveness(宽恕)
Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 1.Try the following steps：
Calm yourself.2.You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.3.Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
4.If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.5.But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. How should you start to forgive?
B. Why should you forgive?
C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

【广西玉林市、贵港市2017届高中毕业班质量检测】D
While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.
For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.
Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.
After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.
1.How did the scientists conduct the experiment?
A. By mixing the selected dogs together.
B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.
C. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.
D. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?
A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.
B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers facial emotions.
C. According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.
D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.
3.The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. curiosity B. horror C. excitement D. doubt
4.How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?
A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.
B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.
C. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.
D. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.
