As my husband Do.ug stood on the New York city street trying to stop a cab, I knelt down and kissed my daughter on her cheek where veins crept up (静脉突出) the side of her tiny face.
Frustrated and wet, my husband gave up his attempt. I knew the feeling. Just after her first birthday, our daughter Katie was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder. Since that moment, Doug and I felt like runners in a marathon race where the finish line kept disappearing. We knew Katie was running out of time. It had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder, but we were told only few specialists in the world could perform the precise surgeries. Now, as we finally found a brilliant doctor to save our girl, we were trapped in a strange city in the cold rain.
Just at the moment, a middle-aged woman pulled over and said, “Pardon me? May I offer you a ride?” Before we could say anything, she continued really no trouble for me. Just get on.”
It was then that I noticed her thick Irish tongue, an accent that warmed me like hot soup. We could simply say, “Thanks! Roosevelt Hospital, please,” and settled in her car for the ride.
I don’t know how she knew, maybe she noticed the veins and asked, “Are you going for the baby?” I nodded my head, choking back a tiny sob.
At the hospital we thanked her a dozen times. The woman hugged me and noticed her face was wet with tears in worry. She promised to pray for us before she left.
After three more visits to New York and two more brain surgeries, Katie is cured. But the voice of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant reminder of a tiny ray of light that appeared on our darkest days.
24. What were the family-doing on the street?
A. Watching a live marathon race. B. Protecting their daughter from cold.
C. Trying to catch a .taxi to hospital. D. Playing with their daughter outside.
25. What do you know about Katie’s illness?
A. It was a terrible cancer. B. It was impossible to be cured.
C. It was hard to name the disease. D. Its surgeries were hard to perform.
26. Why was the woman driver in tears when leaving?

Before breakfast, two young people head down to the woods, struggling a little with the heavy bag of food for the pigs. “Scatter them in different piles,” says the farm staff member.
The teenagers are part of a group from a London secondary school who are staying at Jamie Fielden’s farm, one of a number of “care farms” providing a type of eco-therapy. The pupils brought here have been chosen by their teachers: 14-year-old Sofia, for example, has a difficult home life, and George, 14, is extremely quiet.
Most of them have never been to the countryside before. For five days, they get up early, eat wholesome food and do various chores dependent on the season. It is summer and they are pulling up coriander (a plant) from the vegetable beds and feeding animals.
Besides farmwork, the young people have group sessions with the farm phychotherapist (精神治疗医师) who teaches them techniques for dealing with difficult situations. They can do horse-whispering with her, one-to-one therapy making use of one of the farm horses. Phones and sweets are banned, as part of the focus on creating a calm, supportive atmosphere.
And the young people seem to be thriving (茁壮成长). Aaron, a 12-year-old with serious attendance issues, is clearly taken with the horse whimpering. “I feel as if the horse is calm and I am calm. I had to work out how to speak calmly to make her do what I wanted.”
A classmate, Hasan, describes a similar feeling. “I expected to be really bored here, but as soon as we arrived it was fantastic.” Hasan has a complicated home life and needs support.
Care farms first appeared over a decade ago in the UK. Now, there are more than 80, and they have their own association called Care Farm UK. Founder member Ian Egginton-Metters says: “There is evidence that ‘green care’ works.”
A week after the pupils arrive back at school in west London, teachers report a difference in behaviour. There is no doubt that they will continue to send pupils to the farm in years to come.
28. What do pupils at Jamie Fielden’s farm have in common?
A. They are animal lovers. B. They are troubled by certain problems.
C. They have learning difficulties. D. They prefer country life to city life.
29. How does the care farm function?
A. By encouraging fine teamwork. B. By turning to heavy physical work.
C. By combining farmwork with therapy. D. By building close personal relationships.
30. Why does the author mention Aaron and Hasan?
A. To explain horse whispering. B. To introduce the pupils’ daily routine.
C. To show the effectiveness of care farm. D. To describe the beauty of Fielden’s farm.
31. What does the text mainly deal with?
A. The power of nature. B. Behavioural problems.
C. Devoted care workers. D. A special kind of farm.
D
As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.
New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middle march at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.
Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed
appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”
It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.
A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.
Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.
32. Why are the two books mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To attract the attention of readers.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To provide some background information.
D. To show the similarity between re-readers.
33. What does the underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Recite them. B. Retell them. C. Recall them. D. Re-read them.
34. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Reading benefits people both mentally and physically.
B. Readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading.
C. We know ourselves better through re-reading experience.
D. Writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do.
35. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?
A. To bring awareness to the significance of rereading.
B. To focus on the mental health benefits of reading.
C. To call on different understandings of old books.
D. To introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books.

How to Teach Kids about Healthy Eating
It can be at challenge to get your kids to make wiser choices in the foods they eat, when junk foods and fast foods are so popular and readily available. Here are some tips.
36 If kids become used to healthy, nutritious snacks and drinks when they are babies, they will be more likely to make wise choices about what they eat as they get older.
Encourage your kids to help you plan healthy family meals. Sit with them and ask them to write down or tell you some ideas of nutritious meals everybody can enjoy together. 37
Let your kids accompany you grocery shopping. 38 Ask them to check food labels to make sure they have nutritional value. Giving kids this kind-of responsibility will make them more aware of how important it is to make smart dietary choices.
Find ways to make healthy versions of foods kids like. To find ideas for healthy foods, visit your local library and check out the book “Deceptively Delicious ― Get Your Kids Eating Good Food” by Jessica Seinfeld. 39
Teach by example. 40 You can’t expect your children to eat healthy if you don’t. When they see you making wise food choices and staying away from foods high in fat, they will want to follow suit, especially when they see that healthy eating helps you control your weight, avoid illness and have more energy.
A. Prepare more of your own meals.
B. Kids tend to copy what they see their parents do.
C. This will help form healthy new habits and tastes.
D. Have them pick out fruits, vegetables, and healthy snacks.
E. This book has a number of clever, nutritious recipes kids like.
F. Begin teaching your kids good eating habits when they are very young.
G. Helping you decide on meals that affect the whole family will make them feel more involved.

Good morning. This is Michael Jones here with the 10:00 News Report. Earlier this week, we heard about Milton, the dog that traveled over 3000 miles to reunite with his family. (17) When the Johnson family moved from California to New York, they couldn’t find their dog and they were sad to leave him behind. About a month later, Milton showed up at their doorstep in New York. We cannot believe how far this dog traveled! The family will be doing an interview in the studio tomorrow morning.
