    Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He was a Nike?endorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

    And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghainese?born parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

    Bob today could be the fittest 58?year?old on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

    And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

    And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，Gie?Ming Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

    1.Bob’s glory days were those ________.

    A．when he was doing well in math

    B．when he was in second grade

    C．when he was made mayor of his building

    D．when he showed his talents in sports

    2.From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.

    A．active and optimistic

    B．clever and determined

    C．brave and helpful

    D．considerate and independent

    3.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?

    A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.

    B．Bob could also have been a sport star.

    C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.

    D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.

    4.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

    A．parents should always study together with their children

    B．parents should know how to educate their children properly

    C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong

    D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents

    For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.

    Volunteering in Homeless Shelters

    There is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.

    Volunteering in Children’s Hospitals

    Every child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms.

    Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society.Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment.Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.

    However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”， efficiency comes with a price.When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes.With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.

    With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done.However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example, many handicrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.

    Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.

    Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old.

    It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on people's attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.

    1.The underlined word “gadgets” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to“________”.

    A.tools B.messages

    C.barriers D.skills

    2.Compared with home?made handicrafts, machine?made products ________.

    A.lack great accuracy

    B.lack the personal touch

    C.are of high value

    D.are quite welcome

    3.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?

    A.It can destroy old traditions.

    B.It can lead to social progress.

    C.It can be used to correct mistakes.

    D.It can be used to preserve old products.

    4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

    A.Progress can suit the needs of daily life.

    B.People review the past with great regret.

    C.Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.

    D.People's attitude decides the use of technology.

    Scientists are making new studies of color and its effects on our health. They have known for a long time that the color of a room or the color of the light in it can affect our feelings and emotions. Many prisons and hospitals have at least one room that is painted pink. Officials have found that light and color can produce physical changes in our bodies.

    Professor Falfan worked with a group of 9 disabled children at school in Albert. Two of the children were blind. The other seven had normal sight. The scientists changed the color of the school room, and then looked for changes in blood pressure, heart beat and breathing rate. The effects of color changes were the same for the blind children as for those with normal sight. Their blood pressure dropped from about 120 to 100. Similar changes were reported in heart-beat and the breathing. The children were also calmer and less excited. Then the colors of the room were returned to orange and white. Blood pressure, heart-beat and breathing rate went up and the children became excited again.

    Professor Falfan said different colors produce different levels of light energy. He said the differences seem to affect chemicals in the brain that carry messages from nerve to nerve and from nerve to muscle.

    1.Light and color can affect ________.

    A．only one’s feelings and emotions

    B．one’s energy

    C．one’s mental changes

    D．one’s heart-beat, brain activities, blood pressure, feelings and emotions

    2.The color of pink had a calming effect, that is to say, the color affects ________.

    A．the chemicals in the brain

    B．the eyes

    C．the skin

    D．the muscle

    3.According to the text, orange and white are colors which can make people ________.

    A. calm B. active C. sick D. blind

    4.The colors in the school room mentioned in the passage were changed from ________.

    A. orange to white

    B. orange to dark blue

    C. orange and white to pink or some other colors

    D. gray to more colors
