The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room, I was the nurse on duty. When I felt sad about having to 1 on Christmas Day, a woman and four small children showed up at my desk.
“Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes.” the woman said 2 and lowered her head. But when it came to telling me about their 3 , things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing 4 with their body.
Why did they tell a 5 that they were all sick? I did not say anything but 6 that it might be a little time before a doctor could 7 them . The mother said, “Take your time. We can 8 here. It’s so warm.” When she finished the register chart, I noticed she didn’t write down their address----were they 9 ?
I looked at the 10 around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and 11 to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and said something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of 12 but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses’ station and 13 the homeless family. The nurses, 14 about working on Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to 15 .We bought delicious food in the hospital restaurant and 16 a big dinner for our guests. We needed 17 . So we put apples in a basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the 18 , our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be 19 on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family was to 20 , the youngest child ran to me and said, “Thank you very much. Good bye. ”

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment(食物). The old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamins. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form(丸剂), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nutritive food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn"t need or use extra vitamins, so why they waste money on them?
In the modern Western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.
小题1:The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that .| A．eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health. | | B．the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits | | C．apples can take the place of doctors | | D．an apple is a sure cure for illness |
小题2: In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know .| A．our bodies need food, or we can’t live | | B．often eating apples is a good habit | | C．taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless | | D．a good diet is of great importance for our health |
小题3:In the modern western countries .| A．people won"t want to pay more attention to their eating | | B．people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing. | | C．list of people’s illness are caused or made worse by bad eating habits | | D．people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves |
小题4: From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should .| A．only eat an apple a day | | B．take as many vitamin pills as possible | | C．eat properly | | D．throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully. |

As the semester(学期) ended, students had a chance to turn the tables on their teachers.
They got to grade me anonymously(匿名地), assessing the ability of my thinking, my organizational skills and the depth of my knowledge. Such evaluations keep me alert to what works and what doesn’t. Students reflect my performance back to me, and I’m glad to learn what they think of my teaching so that I might try to improve.
This system reflects many aspects of my work. There is, of course, nothing wrong with it. But this system assumes that what students need is the same as what they want. Reading my evaluations every semester has taught me otherwise. Actually many students’ expectations for their courses have already changed, reflecting, in part, the business model many universities are following: classes are considered services, and parents are eager to get their money’s worth from their children’s education. Students feel pressure from their parents to get practical use from their courses.
This could make sense for an engineering course, but in my field, creative writing, which rarely trains up excellent 21-year-old writers, it is more difficult to provide the results that the career-minded students desire. Then I tried some teaching techniques to change the criticism of those unhappy students to the opposite and improve my student evaluations. My record would accurately reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. However, I would admit that they loved me simply because I agreed writing should be easy.
I know other teachers have done the same thing: teach your heart out to the teachable but be sure to please the unteachable; keep your ratings high, like a politician trying to improve his poll(民意调查) results. I believe in the struggle. But I still can’t help wincing(退缩) when I read, “The instructor is mean.” “Marcus is not committed to my work.” “This class sucks.” The business model has taught me that customers are always right. And maybe a few more dissatisfied customers would mean a better learning experience.
小题1:What can we know from the underlined phrase “turn the tables on their teachers”？| A．Students get a chance to have dinner with their teachers. | | B．Students judge and grade their teachers. | | C．Students begin to criticize and punish their teachers. | | D．Students take action to praise their teachers. |
小题2:Why have the students’ expectations for their courses changed?| A．Because students want to improve other abilities. | | B．Because students feel great pressure from universities. | | C．Because students have to satisfy their parents. | | D．Because the business model has changed. |
小题3:What can we infer from the passage?| A．Parents don’t care about their money spent on their children’s education. | | B．The writer adopted some teaching methods so that he improved his student evaluations. | | C．Similar to other teachers, the writer struggled to work as politicians. | | D．The students intended to punish their teachers by giving comments. |
小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards being graded by his students?| A．Positive. | B．Negative. | C．Satisfied. | D．Scared. |

One potential problem with allowances is that children’s responsible behavior can become about earning the allowance rather than the intrinsic(固有的)value of their family responsibilities. For example, if you pay your children for taking out the rubbish, they see this chore (家务事) as a job that they should be rewarded for instead of a responsibility they must fulfill as part of the family. But giving children an allowance for weekly chores is not necessarily bad. You are rewarding them for fulfilling their family responsibilities, but it is not for a specific act. It is an appreciation of their commitment to your family values. You are also conveying another important message that their actions have consequences: if they do good things, good things happen. They also learn a lesson about the market economy, namely that work is rewarded.
Allowances can also be used as punishment and to teach children lessons about family values. For example, if your children join a group of kids smashing (砸碎) pumpkins on Halloween, a part of a reasonable punishment might be to require them to pay the families out of their allowance to replace the pumpkins. Thus, your children learn that bad behavior has financial consequences. Meanwhile, by relating the punishment to the misdeed, you ensure that your children see the connection and learn the value lesson.
How much allowance should you pay your children? The precise amount depends on your family’s financial situation, the cost of living and your children’s needs. Children can start to earn a weekly allowance as early as 5 years of age. An increase of $ 1 per week for each year of your children’s lives is realistic until they reach their mid-teens. When they begin to drive and date, you can calculate their expenses and establish a reasonable allowance that covers their needs.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that giving allowance to children may____________.| A．lead to children’s preference for money rather than anything else | | B．lead to children’s preference for earning money on their own | | C．cause the problem that children value money more than responsibilities | | D．cause children to earn money instead of going to school |
小题2:When your children join a group of kids smashing pumpkins on Halloween, ___________.| A．you should give them some allowances to pay for the pumpkins | | B．they should be rid of their opportunity to celebrate Halloween | | C．you should ensure your children see the connection with their lessons | | D．they should face the consequence of losing their own money |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.| A．the author doesn’t want to give any tips on the allowance amount | | B．allowances given to children of different ages may vary | | C．children under 6 can’t be given any allowance | | D．the allowance amount grows depending on the amount other children receive |
