Did you know that there are gifts that will multiply your happiness when you give them away? Here are five of those gifts． Giving these gifts will allow you to share with others your most unique treasure: your real self． Each gift will return to you many times．
1． Share appreciation
Tell someone how much you appreciate the faith they've shown in you． Thank them sincerely for being part of your life． Tell them how much they are needed．
Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have． When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you． Appreciation will return to you many times．
2． Share time
Balance your time expenditures （耗費(fèi)）so you can spend time with the people that you love． Support local organizations by sharing your special talents． Volunteer time for projects that benefit others in your community, country, and world．
When we slow down and observe our thoughts closely, we will sometimes uncover gifts and talents we didn't know we had． Sharing time and talents can result in discoveries that bring happiness beyond measure．
3． Share knowledge and ideas
Tell someone about a great book that you read so they can benefit from it too． Teach a new concept or idea that you've learned．
One of the best ways to strengthen new concepts in your mind is to share them with others． The more often you share what you've learned, the stronger that information will become in your memory． Sharing knowledge also provides solutions to problems． The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return．
4． Share friendship
Acknowledge someone's strengths． Let them know that you are willing to be there when they need you． Visit someone you haven't seen for a long time． Telephone friends or relatives who live far away． Introduce two friends who don't know each other．
Bringing one individual into another's life can result in tremendous changes for both people, and for you． We succeed with the help of others． People grow by growing together． If you'd like to have many friends, then share friendship with others generously．
5． Share kindness
Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun． These will multiply and spread very rapidly．
There is a powerful quote by Stephen Jay Gould who said, “The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days．” Kindness is priceless． The love, kindnesses, and value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at the end of life．
Think about this statement by Norman MacEwan: “Happiness is not so much in having as sharing． We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give．”
小題1: What is the best title of this passage？
A．We want to share．B．Give your presents away．
C．We make a life by giving．D．Don’t be mean to give．
小題2: What can we learn from Stephen Jay Gould’s words？
A．We all come from a world which is in a harmonious atmosphere．
B．Everybody’s deep heart is filled with kindness at first, which decides our present life．
C．Kindness is the most important thing in our daily life．
D．We need kindness all the time．
小題3: For those who are living a life on the go, what suggestion will the writer probably give to them?
A．Tell the people around you how much you love them．
B．No one is an isolated island． We succeed with the help of others
C．The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return．
D．Slow down and enjoy the life, which may bring you a brand new world with happiness．
小題4:Where can you probably find this passage?
A．MagazinesB．Newspapers C．Guide books D．Scientific reports

小題1:答案C。本題是概括題。從文章中作者想要告訴讀者的是我們要與他人分享我們的美好東西，這樣這些禮物也會(huì)回報(bào)我們，使我們生活的更加美好。文章最后一段We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give．是這個(gè)理念升華。文章中涉及的不光是給予，而且更加主要的是我們給予后會(huì)使我們的生活更加美好。所以ABD都不合適。
小題1:答案B。本題是理解題。The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days． 這句話中提到人類的本性中心是通過成千上萬的善舉來定義我們的日子。
小題1:答案D。本題是理解題。題干中提到的人是生活非常繁忙的人，所以建議肯定跟時(shí)
小題1:答案A。本題是概括題。從文章的文筆和涉及的話題都符合雜志，因?yàn)閳?bào)紙一般都是注重實(shí)效性，而旅游書和科學(xué)報(bào)告沒有什么迷惑性。

The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos．The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked about how the experience tested his faith．He said: "I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me, but God won．He took me by my best hand, the hand of God．"
The last miner up was Luis Urzua．He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped．

Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future.
I see the city of the future in three zones——inner， middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private cars. Public transport will be free and there will only be ambulances， fire engines， taxis and police cars. This inner zone will be the residential（住宅的） and recreational（娛樂的） area of the city. People will live there and go out to enjoy themselves——to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and open spaces， trees and lakes， schools and universities. This way， when people are at home， they can go out easily and safely.
Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars.
The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle zone. These are things that people don’t need every day.
All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work， and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be cleaner and better to live in and there will be more space for industry on the outside.

Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.
Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants（嬰兒）are able to quantify substances（物質(zhì)）—like sand or water—as early as 10 months. As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food.
With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount.
“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said. “What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances; it’s just much harder. The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”
This information further refutes（駁斥）the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said.
“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, we’ve discovered a lot of early abilities. I think for parents, it should be exciting to know that there’s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development,” vanMarle said.
In the future, vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child’s progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.
小題1:The quantifying ability refers to the ability to     .
A．choose between different substances
B．get much knowledge of the world
C．describe the quantity of something
D．obtain math-related skills
小題2: What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?
A．The process of doing research.

C．The final choice of infants.]
D．The observation of infants’ behavior.
小題3:Babies choose the larger amount of food     .
A．by saying numbersB．with the help of parents
C．on personal preferenceD．through their natural abilities
小題4:We can learn from the text that     .
A．some parents don’t care about their kids
B．people used to think the world is known to babies
C．little research has been done on infants
D．scholars disagree on baby-training programs

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do .
In the ancient world , as is today ,most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another .In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play , to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world .
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same . The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship ,mechanics, and technology . It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing .In Egypt ,America ,China ,Japan and among the Arctic (北極的)people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use .The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拔浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000BCto one used by an infant today , however , is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.
小題1:The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that       .
A．their social roles are rigidly determined
B．they like challenging activities
C．most boys would like to follow their fathers’ professions

小題2:One aspect of “the universality of toys ”lies in the fact that          .

If we observe carefully, we van find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census(普查)to colours of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why?
As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of coloured light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals(花瓣), are very delicate(纖弱) and prone(易于) to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so rare.
小題1:We can hardly find black flowers because  _____.
A．they are so weak that it’s difficult for them to grow up
B．there are no black flowers in the world.
C．the petals of black flowers are very delicate
D．they can take in the light of all wave lengths, which make the flowers dry up
小題2: Sunlight is formed by _____.
A．many different kinds of coloured light
B．three different kinds of coloured light—red, orange and yellow
C．seven different kinds of coloured light
D．four thousand kinds of coloured light
小題3:The red, orange or yellow light contains _____.
A．less heat than the other lightsB．more heat than the other lights
C．a(chǎn) great deal of heatD．a(chǎn) little heat
小題4:“It is a chance in a million” means_____________
A．it is commonB．it is extremely rareC．it’s luckyD．it’s impossible

What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (貧窮). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同時(shí)) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (強(qiáng)調(diào)) international poverty and debt.
小題1:What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?
A．The festival has achieved growing success.
B．Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C．The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D．There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B．Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.
C．Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D．In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
小題3: We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A．the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B．the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C．London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D．some superstars are concerned about global poverty
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．How to have a good time
B．Charity events around the world
C．The Glastonbury Festival
D．Superstars’ performances in charity events
