B
If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat . In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

举一反三
I was shopping at my local supermarket, as I normally have for years. One particular day, I had done about 2 weeks worth of shopping and 36 toward the register to pay for my groceries. After the cashier had scanned my items and I had bagged them up, she stated that the 37 was $150.
I 38 into my back right pocket to grab the money to pay and noticed that there was no money there. I started to get 39 . I knew my pocket book was in the car and I was sure I had put the 40 in my back right pocket. I looked at the cashier with wet eyes and a 41 look not knowing what to do. There were people behind me on the line. She told me to speak with the courtesy counter (爱心柜台). I 42 and said, “Really? It"s 43 , no one would hand that in!” But she 44 me to. “You never know…” she said.
I decided that there was no 45 in checking so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said “I have to ask, did anyone 46 cash by any chance?” She asked “How much?" My face then 47 . “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied. She said, “ 48 , yes, someone did!" I was so 49 ! “Who? I want to thank her.” She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and says, “She did.”
I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, “It wasn"t me, it was my 50 ” . I said “I know, I wanted to thank you both, 51 she found it ... it"s because of you that I got this back.” I was so happy, I was almost in tears.
The next day at work, a person in another department 52 me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost 53 that young girls face popped (突然出现) in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, She is a friend of mine”. Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich so they would really 54 this. She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the 55 number of tickets!

Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite (花岗岩) wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground. The fearless girl is only 10, but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.
Last week, Kane won a bronze in the 11andyounger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta. She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or topflight facilities in which to train. Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil. The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I’m already training for that,” said Kane. “Climbing is my passion, my love, and I want to make something of it.”
Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can’t keep up with her, “It’s the freedom to let loose,” she said. “When I’m up there, I’m so focused and don’t hear anything. I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”
The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November’s International Championships in Ecuador. That’s a trip she might have to miss because it’s too expensive.
Kane held a backyard music concert---she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs---and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta. She’s also been sponsored by a shoe company, but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.
Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do whatever we need to help her achieve her goals”. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is finding balance in her life. There’s school, her music and church to fit around climbing.
“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue,” Grace said. “But it doesn’t bother me. It’s like playing the piano; you can’t take a break or you’ll lose your touch.”
小题1:What would be the best title of the passage?| A．Rock climbing gains popularity | | B．Grace Kane likes challenges | | C．A young climber follows her dream | | D．An amazing victory for a young rock climber |
小题2:We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ________.| A．is not an exhibition at the Olympics now | | B．is an official event at the Olympics now | | C．is not open to children | | D．will gain full status in 2020 |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?| A．She is only interested in rock climbing. | | B．She is a girl with many talents. | | C．Rock climbing has affected her study. | | D．She has won gold medals in several matches. |
小题4:One of Grace’s biggest challenges is to ________.| A．find a capable coach for her | | B．get qualified for the USA team | | C．raise enough money for International competitions | | D．keep balance between rock climbing and other activities |

If practicing an attitude of gratitude(感激） during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They"re so caught up in what"s wrong in the present moment that they simply can"t see some things are still right.
If that"s true for you, then accept it. You"re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and don"t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It may be only a small comfort right no, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn"t happen. For example:
 You"re in debt... but you"re not homeless.
 You lost your job... but you didn"t lose your health.
You broke your leg... but you didn"t break your neck.
 Your mother has Alzheimers disease... but your father doesn"t.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn"t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything- but you can always be thankful for something.
小题1:How many "terrible things that didn"t happen" are listed in this passage?小题2:The writer thinks it ____ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.| A．necessary | B．normal | C．great | D．helpful |
小题3:.What is the purpose of this passage?| A．To discuss ways to make a list of terrible things | | B．To explain what is gratitude towards the storms of life. | | C．To persuade people to be thankful for what didn"t happen. | | D．To show people different ways to consider their tough situations. |
小题4:. How is the passage organized?| A．Explanation―Comparison―Topic | | B．Argument―Opinion―Discussion | | C．Comparison―Argument―Explanation | | D．Introduction―Discussion―Conclusion |
