三、阅读理解

Many doors are closed to those who have ever been in prison for a crime. It can be difficult for former prisoners to reenter society. A number of training programs are aimed at reopening doors for these men and women.

"Together We Bake" teaches cooking and marketing skills to women who have spent time in prison so they can start new lives. It is a 10-week program which teaches women how to bake and sell cookies. Two friends, Tricia Sabatini and Stephanie Wright, created the program.

"I have a background in social work and she is an amazing baker," Ms. Wright explains. "We discovered that for this population of women, when they returned from prison into the community, there weren't a lot of resources for them. So we thought we could combine our passions(激情) and develop this job as a training program. "Stephanie Wright says they started the program earlier this year." We have two classes so far that have graduated. This is our third class. We have eight women currently in this class. We have 16 women that graduated from the first two classes."

Terry Garred is one of the graduates. She says the program helped her turn her life around. Next she hopes to complete her high school studies. She is also working for "Together We Bake" to assist other women to follow the path she took.

The program includes classes in which the women talk about their experiences and learn communication and job skills. 36-year-old Jamie White had spent three years in jail, which made her a little puzzled about her future life back into society. But she found those meetings were very helpful. She learned how to open up, and was just trying to better herself. She gained new skills. She sells baked goods at local markets every weekend now.

How Kids Express Gratitude

Taking time to practice gratitude doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound. Today we'll discuss ideas to help your children express their gratitude.

Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. ①_____ Each day ask your kids to think of something they're thankful for, write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.

Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids. ②_____

Express your thankfulness to the ones you love. ③_____  Print the photos in a "5x7" size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they're grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don't live nearby, will cherish the present.

Volunteer together. Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and volunteer together as a family. ④_____  One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up his favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.

2.答案：relief/ elief

解析：考查名词。句意：这种药能立即减轻病人的身体疼痛，使他们重新感到舒适。分析句子可知，空处缺少brings的宾语，根据from body pain可知，r开头的单词为relief“（痛苦的）减轻、消除”，不可数名词。故填 relief.

3.答案：contribution/ ontribution

4.答案：relief/ elief

解析：考查名词。句意：使大家松了一口气的是，失踪的男孩终于找到了，并且安全回家了。根据句意和首字母提示可知，应使用名词relief构成固定短语to one's relief,意为“使某人宽慰的是”。故填relief。
