people in need of a hot meal and a place to 21 for an hour or several minutes. 22 some

I go there , people are 29 that I showed up again . They know my name and they know that I
am more than happy to 30 them. It truly feels good to know that you can 31 someone's
day. I've realized that the feeling of doing good for people can be a better 32 than any
amount of money. You can't buy that feeling.
I have never 33 a single second of my volunteering. It 34 me that dozens of cities

A Harvard study of their graduates over thirty years found that there were only a small
percentage (3%) of them who actually wrote down their goals-and these were the most successful!
You can be certain that every one of those students had repeatedly heard the value of goal setting.
Yet only 3% actually wrote down their goals consistently. Imagine what you can do if you both
write down your goals and, then, focus on them consistently, until they are accomplished! What is it that causes the "New Year's Resolution Syndrome"? People make resolutions, work
hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them. Next year, they
make the same New Year's resolutions. That is the syndrome. So why do so many people do it?
They may be making goals that are too global, and too unrealistic. The elephant analogy (比喻)
is still the best one I know of to illustrate good goal setting. "How do you eat an elephant? One
spoonful at a time." So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and accomplish them easily. Once
you've mastered this, get a bigger spoon!
You may have too many people in your life who consciously or subconsciously are unwilling
or unable to support you to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who want you to have
what you want for yourself. Support each other and you'll all achieve your highest goals.
We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress. Be selective about how you use
your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to leave out, rather
than what to include in your life.
Goal setting is like the pig and chicken who were out for a walk in town early one morning.
The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign that said "Ham & Eggs, $2.99". She said
to the pig, "Look, we've got double billing again." The pig grunted and said, "That's all right for
you to say. For you, it's all in a day's work. For me, it's total commitment." Goal setting is all in a
day's work. Goal achievement is total commitment.
41. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Few Harvard students know the importance of setting goals.
B. Writing down goals is unhelpful in achieving them.
C. A very small percentage of Harvard students can succeed.
D. Keeping working on goals eventually leads to victory.
42. What can we know about New Year's resolutions?
A. They are really difficult to achieve.
B. Most people give them up halfway.
C. They should be different from year to year.
D. Most people make no effort to achieve them.
43. According to the elephant analogy, when setting goals, we should _________.
A. ask for others' advice
B. set great and worthy goals
C. break a big goal into smaller pieces
D. refer to the goals we set earlier
44. What does the story of the pig and chicken imply?
A. Rome is not built in one day.
B. When the cat is away, the mice will play.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Birds of a feather flock together.
45. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. Goals only work when you do! B. Surroundings contribute to success!
C. Ways to make New Year's resolutions
D. Suggestions for setting realistic goals
C
Orthopedic pillows are not just like any other ordinary pillow. These products are specially
made to fulfill a specific function.
People buy orthopedic pillows for several reasons. Sometimes people buy this type of pillow
because their doctor has specifically recommended them to do so as part of a treatment and
management plan for neck, back, or bone problems. In recent years, people have become more
aware of the science behind orthopedic pillows, which accounts for the increase in the popularity
of these pillows. There has been a lot of available orthopedic pillow information for anyone
interested. The science behind these pillows has also advanced significantly over the years, which
means that orthopedic pillows are now more effective and useful than ever.
Orthopedic pillows help you maintain the right gesture. While traditional pillows may be
very comfortable, they do not necessarily promote the proper gesture as you sleep, which is
proved to be important for your health. It also helps you avoid waking up with a host of body
aches and pains. Among the most common causes of back and neck pains is sleeping without
adequate support. Orthopedic pillows can provide you with the necessary support that will keep
these kinds of body pains away. The pillow is specifically designed to conform to the natural
contours (轮廓) of your body, thus ensuring that your skeletal structure is kept in proper alignment
(直线) throughout the night and that no part of your body is subjected to too much pressure, which
leads to pain.
Of course, it is understandable that you may find an orthopedic pillow a bit uncomfortable
the first time you use it, but that is true with any new experience. The materials used in
manufacturing these pillows are ideal for the kind of sleep that you are looking for.
Just like any product in the market, there is a disadvantage to an orthopedic pillow as well.
They are usually more expensive than traditional pillows. But, if you treat the purchase as an
investment on your health, it may be a lot easier for you to part with the cash.
46. What makes orthopedic pillows increasingly popular?
A. People's worries about sleep loss.
B. Doctors' specific recommendation.
C. The advancement of medical sciences.
D. Their good effects on decreasing back and neck pains.
47. Orthopedic pillows are superior to traditional pillows mainly in that _________.
A. materials used in orthopedic pillows are much more ideal
B. orthopedic pillows promote the proper sleeping posture C. orthopedic pillows may make sleepers more comfortable
D. people's body pains will be cured by using orthopedic pillows
48. What causes body pains when one is sleeping according to the passage?
A. Proper alignment.
B. A thick quilt.
C. The skeletal structure.
D. Lack of support.
49. What does the author think of orthopedic pillows?
A. They are just worth the price.
B. They can bear a little pressure.
C. They help cure people's disease.
D. They have shortcomings in function.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The impacts of pillows on people's health.
B. The market prospect of orthopedic pillows.
C. Benefits and drawbacks of using orthopedic pillows.
D. Scientific secrets behind orthopedic pillows.
D
The holidays are the best time to ask the elders in your family for advice. For most people,
the approaching holiday season includes more time with the extended family, including the elder
generation.
Unfortunately, older adults are often unseen in the popular media. Yet there's a big body of
evidence that shows the benefits of older adults' wisdom and the value of developing
communication across generations.
First, over the course of human history, older people have played very important roles as
advice-givers. Anthropological (人类学) research shows that survival in pre-literate societies was
dependent on the knowledge of the oldest members.
In recent times, most of the researches about intergenerational communication occur within
formal programs, such as ones including older adults in public schools or having youth visit
assisted living facilities. Also, you can apply many of the lessons of the researches to your own
family gatherings.
There is clear evidence that it is good for young people to spend time with older adults. The
youth who participated in intergenerational programs showed more respect toward older adults,
less anxiety, and higher self-esteem. Research also shows that interacting with younger people is
good for older adults. A systematic review found that older adults who participated in
intergenerational programs were likely to experience more satisfaction with their lives, higher
self-esteem and fewer symptoms of depression. Interactions during intergenerational programs can
be positive even when an older adult is experiencing memory or cognitive problems.
Having children teach computer or video games to the older generations can be a fun way to
spend time together. A study found that intergenerational games can help family members to bond.
Another idea is to encourage the youth to ask older family members for their advice about life. The youth can ask older adults specific questions about the lessons they learned from their life
experiences.
The take-home message is that time with older relatives is one of the true gifts of the holiday
season. Make the most of it by spending time with the older generation!
51. Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?
A. The popular media attaches great importance to the old.
B. Holidays are the perfect time to stay with old people.
C. Today's people like turning to the elderly for advice.
D. Old people become unwise due to their aging.
52. Why did the author mention the anthropological research in the third paragraph?
A. To state how modern societies develop.
B. To show young people are much cleverer.
C. To explain why today's aging turns out to be worse.
D. To prove older people are intelligent and experienced.
53. What can we know about the intergenerational programs?
A. They are helpful to both the old and the young.
B. They are unpopular with older people.
C. Their lessons aren't suitable for family gatherings.
D. Their participants don't include unhealthy older adults.
54. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Some fun video games for older adults.
B. Advice from older people that is useful to the youth.
C. Effective ways of intergenerational communication.
D. Difference in interests between the old and the youth.
55. From this passage, we can learn that it is important to _________.
A. respect and accompany older people
B. ask older people for advice for holidays
C. pay attention to the health of older people
D. teach older people to adapt to the digital time

I am a member at the Blue Ridge Mountains Writers Conference. This is the conference where
I got my start about 15 years ago, so it feels special whenever I go back there.
I usually teach multiple sessions, host a table at meals where I can talk with conferees, and
often have about 40-50 private appointments with attendees. I take great pleasure in giving my
personal advice on the beginners' writing journey after listening to their puzzlement.
And then I realized something, as I looked across the room and saw Al Gansky and Eva Marie
Everson whom I'd had private appointments with many years ago when I was one of the conferees.
The only reason I am a member there now is because countless people like them have invested in me. As a new writer, I once expressed my book ideas to Al and Eva, and they encouraged me a lot.
Award-winning authors Yvonne Lehman and Steven James welcomed me to their group and
shared their knowledge. And Edie, Vonda, Linda, Lynette, Michelle and so many others became
my writing friends, offering encouragement and support along the way. I'd never have made it on
this journey without them.
Last week, I was invited to experience the life in the countryside with some writer friends. I
refused the invitation at first. I was away from home a lot because of the numerous book releases
and conferences. I felt so exhausted that I just wanted to stay at home. However, my sweet
husband said, "Honey, why don't you go? It will be good for you. It can be a great source of
inspiration for you."I'd never have made it without the support of this precious man who's been
my chief encourager. It moves me to tears to think about all the times he's cleaned the kitchen,
folded the laundry, taken care of our children and lugged my suitcases to the car so I can chase my
dreams.
I wouldn't be where I am today without all the supportive people and I want to give them a
much-deserved shout-out today.

Possible Version
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am Li Jin, a Chinese student in Senior Three. When surfing online I came across your website,
which interests me very much. I am writing to let you know my personal feelings as well as make
some suggestions.
What interests me most is the diversity of the columns, some of which are of great help to my
studies. Thanks to the columns, not only have I had my vocabulary enlarged but I have also
improved my reading ability. In addition to that, I would like to make some practical suggestions
to make the website more accessible to Chinese students. First of all, it would be great to set up a
platform where students from both countries can make friends and exchange thoughts and ideas.
Besides, it couldn’t be better to introduce some cultures of different countries so that people can
avoid some misunderstanding in communication. I think offering some classical music is also a
wise option.
I really hope these suggestions can be helpful in making the website more popular.
