One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “__21___ would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 22___.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 23 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went 24 and landed in the grass.
My 25 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 26 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 27 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 28 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 29 to prepare a 30 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 31 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 32!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 33 those who helped you make it through those 34 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 35 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 36 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 37 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 38 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 39 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 40 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Nothing can destroy a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards. A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while you’re traveling.
Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits（装备）.“But their eyes glaze（呆滞） over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.
“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” Stephens asked．“In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with‘ buy travel bags’ and everything else,” he added.
The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise（危及...的安全）your identity(身份) if lost or stolen while you’re on vocation.
Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you（not in your wallet）or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.
“Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”
小题1:According to passage, _______can destroy one’s vacation the most quickly.| A．being lost on vacation | B．losing money or credit cards | | C．living in a bad hotel. | D．losing contact with family |
小题2:What does the underlined word stand for?| A．The people who are going traveling. | | B．The outfits that are prepare4d for traveling. | | C．The suggestions on what to buy when traveling. | | D．The steps to avoid losing money or credit cards. |
小题3:What should people do with their wallet before they go on vacation?| A．Take it with them all the time. | B．Put it in a safe place at the hotel | | C．Remove unnecessary cards and documents. | D．Leave it with family or friend. |
小题4:What is the topic of the passage?| A．How to prepare for travel. | | B．How to be happy during your vacation. | | C．How to keep cash and cards safe on vacation. | | D．How to protect your luggage on vacation |
小题5:According to the passage, we know ______.| A．people don’t always know how to protect their money or credit cards | | B．people should take a lot of money with them while traveling | | C． people can leave their identifying documents in rooms, if the hotel is expensive | | D．people can spend a few minutes preparing the luggage for travelling |

While many modern forms of communication like phone calls, e-mail, and letters, are extremely convenient. In my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face to face.
The first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. In a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.
I would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. Not all communication is verbal(口头的); the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someone’s face, or watching the movements of their body.
Finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video. Trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. Touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage? | A．How to communicate more effectively(有效率地) | | B．The importance of using body language in communication | | C．Face-to-face communication, the best way of communicating | | D．Comparison(比较)of different communication forms |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?| A．A letter or e-mail is always written unclearly. | | B．Business partners can show trust through a firm handshake. | | C．During a conversation, body language is also important. | | D．The face-to-face conversation is a way of communication. |
小题3:Which of the following can communicate the feeling a loved one perfectly?| A．letter | B．e-mail | C．phone | D．face to face communication |
小题4:The author’s attitude towards forms of communication is .| A．Modern forms of communication like phone calls and e-mail are extremely convenient. | | B．Traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse. | | C．Face-to-face communication can only be used among strangers. | | D．Face-to-face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication. |

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
小题1:If a person has his nose in the air, he ____. | A．is down to the earth | | B．is easy to deal with | | C．always thinks he is more important than others | | D．is confident |
小题2:If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____. | A．is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams | | B．has some dreams but he is realistic | | C．is honest, open and easy to deal with | | D．is honest, open but hard to deal with |
小题3:The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.| A．the person who has his nose in the air is not true | | B．a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent | | C．the opposite direction is always wrong | | D．a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth |

The united States has about 475,000 school buses — all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
小题1:What does this passage mainly tell us?| A．High fuel prices’ influences on school buses. | | B．New measures to transport school students. | | C．The safest form of student transportation. | | D．The origin of Walk to School Day. |
小题2:In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.| A．changing some bus routes | | B．stopping some bus routes | | C．asking parents to drive children to and from school | | D．using other types of fuels |
小题3:The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.| A．save more fuels and diesel for the country | | B．keep the children safe on their way to school | | C．make the children live a simple life | | D．keep the children healthy and the environment clean |
