26、   One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw my classmate Kyle walking home from school. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.”

As I went on walking, I saw five kids running toward him. They knocked all his books down and tripped him, so he fell into the dirt. His glasses went flying. He looked up, and I saw the terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So I walked to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. Then I handed him his glasses. He thanked me with a smile. I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. Surprisingly, he lived near me, so we talked all the way home.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

On graduation day, Kyle was chosen to speak, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough 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 gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.”

I just looked at Kyle with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to run away from home over the weekend, He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker and was carrying all his things home so his mom wouldn't have to do it later. He gave me a little smile. Not until that moment did I realize the depth of his smiles. “Thankfully, my friend made me give up the idea of running away from home.”

【1】What did the author think of Kyle when they first met?

A.He was too weak. B.He was easy-going.

C.He was a little bit unusual. D.He was too shy to speak to strangers.

【2】Why did the author look at Kyle with disbelief?

A.He never imagined saving someone's life.

B.He didn't realize that he was Kyle's best gift.

C.He didn't realize he made a big difference to Kyle.

D.He never thought that Kyle would behave that well.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.One can kill two birds with one stone.

C.Things of one kind come together. D.With one small act, one can change a person's life.

A.The Power of Your Ideas B.A Meaningful Graduation Speech

C.The Best Gift from My Friend D.An Encouraging Story on Friendship

27、Li Bingyin is now studying law at the Stern School of Business at New York University. She wrote this letter just before hurricane Sandy destroyed the East Coast.

Dear readers,

The storm will really take a toll on the city! Right now I am sitting in my dormitory（寝室）, waiting for the blackout（停电）to come any second, and listening to the wind howl outside my windows. Hurricane Sandy is supposed to hit the East Coast hard today. Due to the bad weather, most schools and universities have canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday.

Luckily, the university has taken steps to prepare for this storm. University officials sent out e-mails with explanation in the case of a blackout, evacuation（撤离）, or other emergency. Just recently, I received several text messages from the school about power off in certain dormitories. They advised us to prepare a bag with essentials（生活必需品）, in case we needed to leave the building and move to a safer place.

Yesterday I went out to buy a flashlight(手电筒), but all of the nearby stores were sold out. Everyone was storing water, food and other supplies for the storm.

Right now the city is unusually quiet. On any other day, there would be the sounds of cars, people chatting, and street artists performing. Tonight, there’s just the wind and rain hitting the window. The subway system has been closed since last night, and there is nobody on the streets. Hopefully Hurricane Sandy will soon pass without leaving much damage

Sincerely,

Li Bingyin

28、   Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS

Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION

If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF

Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative, consider checking into a self­catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE

London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day).

【1】“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.

A.the tube line to Covent Garden B.a hotel away from the train station

C.the name of a travel agency D.an ideal holiday destination

【2】The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.

A.lies on the ground floor

B.provides cooking tools for tourists

C.is located in central London

D.costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September

【3】The main purpose of the passage is ________.

A.to offer visitors some money­saving tips

B.to show visitors the importance of self­help

C.to supply visitors with hotel information

D.to tell visitors how to book in advance

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need

I surveyed more than 30.000 people around the world. These people came from different cultures and were working in various industries. I asked them about how they relate to others: Do they prefer giving or taking?I found that many of them were somewhere in the middle. They fell into a third group, who do something called"matching".

If you are a" matcher," you try to keep a balance between giving and taking: "quid pro quo"--I’ll do something for you if you do something for me. That seems like a safe way to live your life. However, is it the most 【1】 approach on a daily basis?

【2】 the worst performers among those I surveyed- -regardless of their 【3】 or nationalities ---were the givers. The engineers who were the least productive did more favors than they received in return. They were always so busy doing other people’s job that they ran out of time and energy to get their own work done. In medical schools, the lowest grades went to students who said they “loved helping others.” In other words, the doctors you ought to trust are those who did the training with no【4】 to help anybody

However, it turns out that there is a【5】 here---thankfully. Although givers are often sacrificing themselves, they make contribution to their organization. There is a lot of evidence to support this. Research has looked at how often people give to their team or organization. The findings tells us that sharing knowledge and mentoring all boost the performance of the organization on every metric that can be 【6】:profits, customers【7】, employee retention(员工存留率) and so on. Even the operating expenses 【8】.

Givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve their teams, it 【9】seems they suffer along the way. Givers deserve more【10】. As to what it takes to build cultures where givers can get to succeed more often, it requires further research.
