I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought，“What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd        ？” Just when I started to         that there would not be a Christmas that year，three women         at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of         that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't         .Somebody had thought         of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my         . Christmas there special and memorable, I        _ remembered the woman’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of         for as many children as I could possibly.

So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤兒)at the Christmas party. For every child，we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys，clothes，and school supplies，        with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were         .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts，I         them that they couldn't open their presents         every child had come forward. Finally the         they had been waiting for came as I called out，“One，two，three. Open your presents！” As the children opened their packages，their faces beamed and their bright smiles        up the room. The         in the room was obvious，and     wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling —the feeling I knew         that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

7.聯(lián)系上下文，首先排除B、C，think highly of sb的意思是“對(duì)……評(píng)價(jià)很高”。此處根據(jù)作者的前面的心態(tài)，選擇enough，表示有人關(guān)心自己。故選D。

8.聯(lián)系上下文，提到是new house，肯定選擇first，西方人對(duì)于圣誕節(jié)很重視，是一家人團(tuán)圓的日子，所以此時(shí)表達(dá)重要性，作者想讓自己在新家過的第一個(gè)圣誕節(jié)有意義。故選B。

14.根據(jù)下文的“One, two, three. Open your presents!”可知，此時(shí)在分發(fā)禮物時(shí)，作者提醒每個(gè)人開始不要打開禮物。故選A。

People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.

Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (斷奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.

Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12?hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.

After 28 days, it turns out the summer?born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter?born mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.

The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.

“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，”said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (機(jī)制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”

1.How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?

A. Four.B. Five.C. Six. D. Seven.

2.What's the main idea of the text?

A. The biological clock regulates mood in humans.

B. People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.

C. Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.

D. The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.

3.The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.

A. endedB. torn C. hitD. divided

4.Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?

A. A job?hunter. B. A student in the university.

C. A newly?married couple. D. An experienced dentist.
