Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others.For example,some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals,orphanages(孤兒院)or rest homes.They read books to the people in these places,or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old.They paint,clean up or repair their houses,do their shopping or mow(割;修剪)their lawns.For boys who no longer have fathers,there is an organization called Big Brothers.College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trip and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games.Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest.Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷正(T)誤(F)。

解析試題分析:這篇短文給我們講述的是關(guān)于志愿者的工作。在美國很多中學(xué)生和大學(xué)生都愿意做志愿者的工作,去幫助別人,尤其是一些年老的或生病的人。他們給別人帶來了快樂,同時他們自己也收獲了快樂。
【小題1】根據(jù)文章的第一段中some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals,orphanages or rest homes.可知,在美國,一些中學(xué)生和大學(xué)生經(jīng);ㄙM(fèi)很多時間去醫(yī)院、養(yǎng)老院或療養(yǎng)院做志愿者。故這個句子說他們幾乎不花費(fèi)時間做志愿者是錯誤的。
【小題2】根據(jù)文章的第二段第一句話Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old可知,其他的年輕的志愿者們可以去生病或年老的人們家里工作。故這個句子中說他們可以去老人或病人的家里玩是錯誤的。
【小題3】根據(jù)文章第二段For boys who no longer have fathers,there is an organization called Big Brothers.可知,對于那些沒有了父親的男孩們來說,有一個組織叫Big Brothers 。所以這個組織可以幫助那些沒有了父親的男孩們。故這個句子是正確的。
【小題4】根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句話Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls可知,大多數(shù)的俱樂部用很多的高中生和大學(xué)生當(dāng)志愿者,因為他們足夠年輕知道年輕人的問題和需求。這個句子的表述正好與文意相反,故是錯誤的。
【小題5】根據(jù)文章的最后一句話Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.可知,志愿者們都認(rèn)為世界上最快樂的人就是把快樂帶給別人的人。故把快樂帶給別人,你也會快樂。所以這個句子是正確的。

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
【小題1】Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?

A.What can they do about this?
B.Where do the problems come from?
C.When did they have these problems?
D.Why do they have so many problems?

If they eat up their food, students can collect coupons(優(yōu)惠券) and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang zhaoyun,19, a student at a university in Shanghai, “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行動) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校園).
Why only on campuses? You might ask. Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment –friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, Secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
Some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.
【小題1】From Paragraph1, we know that the students will get a coupon             .

A.when they eat school foodB.a(chǎn)fter they exchange gifts
C.if they finish all their foodD.if they collect the waste
【小題2】The underlined word “motivation” in Paragraph 2 means “            ” in Chinese.

“Mind your own business.” we’re told.“Don’t talk about others behind their backs.”The problem with this advice is that,not only is it unrealistic,it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的).
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚語)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships.But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly,his gossip is letting you in on something,”says Dr.Ralph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.” Seen this way,gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批評)without conflict(沖突),giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand,what about ill-willed gossip,the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and,in nearly every country in the world,gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers.According to researchers,however,this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正確地).“If we read bad news about well-known people,or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee,our own problems begin to pale in comparison(對比),”says Dr.Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However,that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing,either.Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress.This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people,they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.
【小題1】What is the purpose of the text?

A.To encourage us to spread gossip about others.
B.To prevent us from spreading gossip about others。
C.To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip.
D.To recognize certain positive functions of gossip.
【小題2】According to the passage,people in general think that__________.
A.it’s a bad habit to gossip
B.nobody pays attention to gossip
C.not all the gossip you hear is worth believing
D.it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor
【小題3】The underlined phrase “abiding by” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”.
A.makingB.breakingC.obeyingD.changing
【小題4】It could be learned from the passage that__________.
A.people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others.
B.in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems.
C.in fact most people tend to believe gossip.
D.the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people.

American people like to say “ Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit(習(xí)慣). 
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you,
you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna said.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(依偎) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, a writer.
“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the best to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental(腦力的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【小題1】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that __________.

A.the son is always busy with his studies
B.the son doesn’t want to see anymore
C.the son keeps himself away from his parents
D.the son wants to live with his friends
【小題2】What troubles Tina and Mark the most is that __________.
A.their daughter isn’t as happy as before
B.they can’t understand what their daughter thinks
C.they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D.their daughter talks far more to her friends than to them
【小題3】“The wall of silence” in the first paragraph means that __________.
A.teenagers talk a lot with their friends
B.teenagers do not talk with their teachers
C.teenagers do not talk much with their parents
D.teenagers talk little about their studies
【小題4】The better way for parents to know their children is to be a ________.
A.teacher B.friend C.manager D.student
【小題5】What do we learn from the passage?
A.Parents are all happy with their growing children.
