Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue (美德). William Bennett Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业) — to draw a picture of for which they were thankful. Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a(an) kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at , Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad . Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a . Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist . When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.” She recalled the when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was very for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work. The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that out. 1.A. anything B. somethingC. nothingD. everything 2.A. congratulate B. spendC. celebrateD. consider 3.A. good B. interestingC. excitingD. different 4.A. break B. restC. deskD. first 5.A. noses B. handsC. facesD. eyes 6.A. gift B. personC. handD. turkey 7.A. thought B. descriptionC. respectD. imagination 8.A. raise B. needC. buyD. show 9.A. look atB. care forC. take awayD. drive off 10.A. himselfB. itselfC. herselfD. themselves 11.A. saidB. askedC. talkedD. spoke 12.A. chancesB. formsC. waysD. times 13.A. muchB. manyC. oftenD. long 14.A. thankfulB. helpfulC. carefulD. beautiful 15.A. movesB. holdsC. reachesD. puts

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen. Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down. Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.” On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and created a bestseller based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages （孤儿院）. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

Money, jewels and important documents may not be the only valuables placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk (母乳) in banks. There are ten breast milk banks across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks. James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron says, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity (免疫力). It’s very important for the health of the newborn.” Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She breastfed both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home. Milk donations in the United States work like this. Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol. 1.According to the passage, which thing can also be stored in banks except money, jewels and important documents? A. Notes. B. Diamonds. C. Valuable papers. D. Breast milk. 2.From the text we learn . A. Lucy Baur wanted to donate her milk to the donor station near her home B. the milk is frozen and sent to the milk station after killing bacteria C. the milk bank transports the milk to babies’ home to feed them D. James Cameron is a doctor who feeds the babies on the milk in the milk station 3.The breast milk is important for newborns because . A. only it can stop babies from developing diseases B. it contains rich nutrients (营养) babies need C. it is the only food suitable for babies D. it benefits babies as the best medicine 4.Who is allowed to donate her extra milk of the following women?
