Miep Gies, the woman who hid the Dutch girl Anne Frank’s diary from the Nazis to become one of the world’s most-read books, died after a brief illness at the age of 100. It was Gies who guarded Anne’s diary, and presented it to the girl’s father, Otto, when he returned from the Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯威辛集中营) at the end of World War Ⅱ—the only one of his family to survive. In her diary, Anne Frank wrote about her teenage life hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam from 1942 to 1944, when the Nazi police discovered her and her family’s hiding place. The diary, first published in 1947, has been translated into 70 languages. Anne Frank expressed a great wish to live on after her death. Miep Gies saw it as her duty to help in making this happen. Born in Vienna in 1909, Gies moved to the Netherlands at the age of 11. In 1933, she began working for Otto Frank at his trading company. At great risk to her own safety, she and four other helpers brought food and supplies to the Frank family hiding in a secret office building for more than two years. When she turned 100, Gies tried to play down her own role. “I’m not a hero,” she said. “It wasn’t something I planned in advance. I simply did what I could to help.” Every day she received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper. Gies received many honors for her role, including from the Netherlands, Germany and Israel. 1.When did Miep Gies move to the Netherlands? A.In 1909. B.In 1947. C.In 1920.

A new pastor(牧师) named John reopened a church that had been abandoned in a suburb. He found it broken, and in need of a lot of repair work. His goal was to have everything done in time for his first service on Christmas Eve. He worked hard. However, when John went to the church on Dec. 21, his heart sank: a large area of plaster (石膏) had fallen off the front wall due to a terrible storm the night before. John headed home, and on the way he stopped at a market selling items for charity. One of the items was an exquisite( 精致的)handmade tablecloth. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. It started to snow. An old woman had missed her bus, and he invited her to wait in the warm church for the next one. As John put up the tablecloth the woman asked him to check the corner for the initials(手写字母). They were her initials: she had made this tablecloth 35 years before. Then the war broke out, and forced her to part with her husband. John wanted to give her the tablecloth. but she asked him to keep it for the church. John insisted on driving her home which he thought was the least he could do. What a wonderful service he had on Christmas Eve! John noticed one old man staring at the tablecloth on the front wall. The man said it was similar to one that his wife had made many years before.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 As a graduate student, my teacher taught me some unforgettable lessons. Once we were in Cardiac CathLab (心导管插入实验室), we had a middle-aged man around 50 years as our patient for angioplasty (血管成形术). But suddenly this patient fell down, blood pressure went down, heart rates went up, and couldn’t breathe. We had to put him on a ventilator (人工呼吸机) and start emergency drugs to keep his blood pressure normal. Nobody could understand what exactly happened, because the process went well. My teacher was calm all this time. No rush, no shouting, no serious expressions on his face which could tell that he was stressed. I was bewildered! How could he be so calm? How could he handle things without any stress? Did he lose his pity for this man? While I was filled with thoughts inside my head, he told me to tell the Cardiac surgeon that we got an emergency Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (体外循环心脏手术). I couldn’t understand. Then one nurse told me that patient’s heart got a rent (裂缝) during the process, so we had to take him to the operation theatre immediately. I can’t forget that day. I got to CathLab at 8 a.m. and came out of the operation theatre at 8 p.m. with the same patient. I asked my teacher, “How could you be so calm in such a situation?” He said, “Day in and day out I have faced such things for the last 20 years. You should be calm because whatever diseases they have, you have to manage those. Patients’ lives are in your hands. Being frightened would increase the risk of the operation. You can’t afford to lose control because within seconds patients would be either dead or brain dead. I have followed his instructions since then. And believe me it takes experience to keep your stress under control in such situations. I am still learning it; there is a long way to go. 1.What was wrong with the middle-aged man during the process of angioplasty? (no more than 15 words) 2.How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 3.Why did the patient need an emergency Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery immediately? (no more than 10 words) 4.How could the author’s teacher deal with emergency situations? (no more than 5 words) 5.What can you learn from the story? Please write it in your own words.

I used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning. Over the years, little tweaks to my routine and changes in my ideas have changed things to the point that I am in the “I Love Mondays” camp. Here’s what I’ve found that works: Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday. Get everything you need for the morning ready to go. If mornings are a struggle… give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference. Once that’s done, consider a special “Sunday Night Only” calming down ritual (惯例). It might be tea and a favorite TV show, or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you’re ready for sleep. Whatever it is, enjoy this Monday morning warm-up, and consider sleeping a little earlier than you’re used to, in order to help with the second step. One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I’m ready instead of fighting with the alarm for “Just five more minutes!” Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning — not to pack more into your morning to-do list, but to give yourself time to take it slowly. When you have a little extra time in the morning, you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week. Find a theme for the week. Every Monday, I post an inspiring quote or saying. These are intentional! Each week, as part of my Sunday night calming down time, I consider what I’d like to focus on in the coming week, and look for a quote that’s a good fit to strengthen it. What are you excited about for the new week? What problem-solving opportunities do you have? What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week? During your preparation time on Sunday night, think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish. If possible, schedule at least one of them for Monday, so you’ve started your week off feeling successful, instead of feeling like there’s a mountain of tasks ahead of you. The work is the same either way, but our attitudes are always within our control. When you are intentionally creating a life you love, Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery (单调乏味的苦差事), and more like a beautiful start! 1.The underlined word “tweaks” is the nearest in meaning to _________. A.mistakes B.adjustments C.encouragements D.problems 2.You had better start Monday morning _________. A.with some morning exercises B.with a morning to-do list C.by getting thing ready on Sunday nights D.by getting up early to do more things 3.What’s the benefit of getting up early enough on Monday morning? A.It can help you get to your office and start work in time. B.You can have enough time to make a to-do list for the week. C.You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee. D.It can make you feel the weekend feeling a little longer by starting slowly. 4.What does the author want to indicate in Para.5? A.Be confident to solve the problems. B.Look for opportunities for the week. C.Positive attitude means a happy Monday. D.Arrange your tasks well for the week. 5.What might be the best title for this passage? A.How to Love Your Mondays B.How Do You Spend Mondays C.Troublesome Monday Disease D.Monday Morning Warm Up
It is always difficult when we are exposed to someone who has a different opinion than our own. When opinions differ, there is often a conflict. This is where much of the conflict with adults and teens begins. Therefore, it is important to always make the difference clear between fact and opinion. Opinions change, facts always remain the same. I have found that it does absolutely no good to tell someone they’re wrong. I have found that to be more effective is to help someone see the consequences of their behavior for themselves. If you don’t know there is the cliff, why would you ever be concerned about being close to the edge? I dealt with a teen today who was involved in some gangster (歹徒) activities. This girl was raised in a good home with concerned parents. However, other interests have taken over in her life. Friends have become everything. These friends come from different families with different values. This is where the conflict has appeared in her life. The challenge for the rest of us is helping this girl see how and where her new interests will take her. We have felt mild success as relationships of trust are built and improved. In the end, however, the teen has to make a choice regarding this conflict. It is important for adults to remember how serious this choice is. For some this can feel like a choice between life and death. It’s easy for the rest of us to be casual about this because the right choice seems so obvious to us. It is important to know it is much different to this young person who is still developing and searching. Therefore, it is important that the adult should do everything possible to help the teen be fully informed about the choice before them. Provide choices and show how making different choices will improve things and provide security for the teen now and in the future. The choice to go with the crowd or with the few can be a very difficult one to make. I believe it is absolutely essential that we never give up on these kids. Our very own future is absolutely at key point any time we advise and guide the youth. 1.From paragraph 1 we know the gap between father and son lies in that _________. A.facts always remain the same B.opinions are always different from facts C.different opinions result from their conflict D.they have a disagreement about the same fact 2.What contributes to the girl’s crime according to the text? A.Different values. B.Unconcerned parents. C.Her poor family. D.Gangster activities 3.Adults should try their best to help teens make a choice regarding the conflict because _________. A.the wrong choice will lead to complete failure in the future B.the choice is difficult to make for still developing teens C.the right choice is easy for adults to see and understand D.the choice made by teens determines their life or death 4.Why should the adult never stop helping the teen according to the last paragraph? A.Because the teen won’t give up themselves. B.Because the adults’ future depends on the youth. C.Because the adult can give advice and guidance. D.Because the teen’s future is in danger. 5.It can be inferred from the text that _________. A.showing the results of their behavior is a good way to help people B.helping teenagers always means meeting trouble C.it’s quite easy to keep a good relationship with others D.it’s hard to make wise choices in our life
Our particular parenting style reflects our own way of “looking”. Here’s a great piece of writing reflecting parent’s particular ways on the parenting style that have become known humorously as helicopter parenting and submarine (潜水艇) parenting. Helicopter parents hover over their children, managing every aspect of their child’s life. On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed. While helicopter parents may have the best intentions, in reality, they are raising children with few problem-solving skills. Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their own ability to recover from misfortune. Think about your typical submarine. Submarines usually remain underwater. In case of a need for emergency surfacing, submarines can rise so quickly that they are driven partially out of the water. Submarine parents also remain out of sight, yet able to pop up in the case of an emergency. I admit I’m a submarine mom. My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences. My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen. To give her a sense of the real world, I insisted she spend three weeks every summer, picking strawberries and earning $3.50 on a good day. When my youngest daughter Sondra was six, she wanted a very expensive American Girl Doll. I cut the full color 18-inch picture out of the American Girl catalogue and had it laminated (压膜). “Here’s your American Girl Doll.” I said, “When you turn nine, I’ll buy you the 3D doll on your birthday.” Sondra played with her flat doll for months, making clothes and furniture for her. She learned creativity. I saved $88.00. 1.The passage is mainly about _________. A.various means of growing up B.funny experiences of a mom C.humorous stories about parents D.different styles of parenting 2.The underlined phrase “hover over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_________”. A.leave behind B.fly away C.watch over D.set aside 3.Which of the following is TRUE of helicopter parents? A.They give their children proper guidance. B.They try to do everything for their children. C.They teach their children how to face failures. D.They help their children explore by themselves. 4.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that Mom _________. A.has good parenting skills B.is always making promises C.is strict with her daughter D.tries her best to save money 5.The author supports her point of view mainly by _________. A.stating facts and offering advice B.using figures and giving evidence C.analyzing data and drawing conclusions D.making comparisons and giving examples
