When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “ When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.”

At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病), and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.

People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person. One organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “ If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”

24 What did the author want to do at a young age?

A Watch TV   B Grow up quickly  C Become wealthy  D Help other children

24 What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?

A A six-year-old kid’s request.    B Her grandmother’s death of cancer.

C Many volunteers’ inspiration    D Other organizations’ encouragement.

26 What does the underlined word “ one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A  A chance   B A task    C A life    D An organization

27 What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?

A Do little things to help those around them  B Work hard to get a college education

C Challenge their friends to offer help   D Do charity work whoever you are

C

Japan is aging faster than any other nation. By the end of this decade, there will be three retirees for every child under 15 and before long, one in six people will be over 80. Its population will soon be falling by nearly a million people every year and some people predict that, sometime in the next century, the last Japanese person will die. Other countries are encouraging immigration to deal with their demographic woes. But not Japan, which is using different ways to reduce pressure, put on health care and social services.

The Toto-made toilet, common in Japanese hotels, can push up to help the elderly. Now Toto is working with Daiwa House, Japan’s largest house builder, to equip toilets for retirees. These have medical sensors that measure blood sugar levels, the blood pressure and body fat of the user. The data is emailed to the local GP through a built-in internet device (装置). So make sure you eat your greens and stay regular, or the doctor will be in touch.

The over-75s account for more than a quarter of the deaths in car accidents on Japanese roads. Toyota is working with Professor Kawashima, who developed brain training games for Nintendo, to create intelligent cars that monitor brain activity in the elderly. Other technologies could also work to keep elderly drivers cautious.

Japan has twice as many pets as it has children. But real animals are difficult to look after as their owners age. Paro is a furry white baby seal robot which responds to petting by moving its tail and opening and closing its eyes. It shows emotions such as surprise, happiness and anger, and has sold well in nursing homes where it is reported to stimulate (刺激) responses among those with dementia (痴呆).

   Japan’s Institute of Physical and Chemical Research has developed Riba, a nursing care robot that can lift the elderly out of bed.

28. What does the underlined phrase “demographic woes” refer to?

A. Retirement age.          B. Public finance.

C. Population problems.        D. Employment difficulties.

29. What’s the main function of the toilets for retirees?

A. Giving them first aid.       B. Monitoring their health.

C. Helping them send emails.      D. Sending them off the toilet.

30. What do we know about the seal robot?

A. It is hard to look after.       B. It is popular with nurses.

C. It only makes a positive response.     D. It is well received in nursing homes.

31. How does Japan improve the healthcare for the elderly?

A. By advocating companies work together.

B. By switching to life-long training classes.

C. By developing hi-tech products and services.

D. By correcting medical personnel’s service attitudes.

D

Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.

Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger，but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.

It is the same in daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.

However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

32. What may a person usually do on a bus?

A. Glance at a stranger with eye contact.

B. Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.

C. Glance at a stranger without eye contact.

D. Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.

33. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?

A. He likes her eyes.                      B. He admires her.

C. He knows her well.                     D. He makes contact with her.

34. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?

A. He thinks that he is honest.

B. He wants to control the victim.

C. He feels uneasy about others’ eye contact.

D. He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.

35. What may be the best title for the text?

A. Eyes Can Speak                       B. Don’t Look At Others For Too Long

C. What Can Eyes Do D. Use Your Eye Contact

The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes.         36        Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table. No forks or knives for them to use! The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike. _________37      However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.

In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics that we could discuss were very limited.         38        If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. “May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands.” I would say. My mother would say, “Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “        39         ”  

As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as bad manners!　　 [来源:学科网ZXXK]        40          He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in one’s lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when he is using a knife to cut something.

A. How one sits at the table is also prescribed (规定).

C. Where do you want to go?

It appears that everyone has a dream. Mostly when people say that they never dream,   61   they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of when they first reported their dreams or it was   62   frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely.

   63   other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped   64  (have) dreams. I asked him what happened.   65  turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person.

Generally, when there is some frightening event, dreaming about it is too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the   66  (bad) thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too   67  (pain) to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it, your mind is working on it.

My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns   68   (take) place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill  69   when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t love   70  (they) to even think about it.
