28、Youth Art For Healing is a non-profit organization founded by Jan Papirmeister in 2012. As the Executive Director, she makes great efforts to work with schools, hospitals and other healthcare organizations to bring works of art created by the youth into healthcare environments. She wants to provide a sense of comfort, inspiration and healing for patients, their loved ones and healthcare professionals during very challenging times.

As a child, Papirmeister donated her artworks to a volunteer group caring for dying people and a camp for children with cancer. She felt pity for them so she hoped her works could bring a little help. When she grew up, she became a school nurse and showed students how to create drawings to decorate the walls of the health office. Then, as a hospital nurse, she made the time to sit with patients and create art with them. In her job as a nurse, she realized works of art could really help patients feel better.

Her organization Youth Art For Healing is based in Bethesda, MD. It provides opportunities for students to learn about the nature of healing art, the power of art to heal, how to follow guidelines for healing art, and the value of building and strengthening community connections and spirit. As students share their talent with those in need, they come to the realization that they can make a difference.

Papirmeister was awarded a Society for the Arts in Healthcare grant to bring artworks to patients, their families and hospital staff. She also received two SCORE Awards for her efforts to comfort patients and their families. This woman is a shining example of an artist and healer who uses the healing power of art to bring huge benefits to children, patients, their loved ones, healthcare providers, and the community at large.

29、Teaching Children about Forgiveness

If you’ve seen your children struggle to forgive someone for hurting them, you know that forgiveness is complicated. After all, forgiveness is complicated for adults, too. At times, we wonder why we’re trying to forgive someone anyway. 【1】 Indeed, it takes many years for us to grasp the meaning of forgiveness as we grow up.

It’s understandable that children may feel hurt or angry when a friend does something less-than-kind to them. 【2】 Children may be tempted to get even with a friend who’s done them wrong, by doing something worse or telling everyone how terrible the friend is, but trying to get revenge only escalates the conflict.

Parents can play an important role in teaching children about forgiveness. 【3】 Do they complain to others or speak directly to the person involved? How long does it take them to get over being mad or hurt? How do they get over it? Parents can teach their children about the value of forgiveness by regularly practicing it in their own lives.

【4】 For example, children need to understand that no one is perfect, so generously forgiving a well-meaning friend is a caring thing to do. If parents can help children see things a little more from other people’s perspective, this will make forgiveness easier. These conversations can change the way children think about forgiveness and help them emotionally recover when they inevitably experience harm and unfair treatment from others in life.

A．Most times we know mental balance applies towards good health. and since health is wealth, on-the-spot forgiveness is the way to go.

B．Sometimes parents can talk with their children about forgiveness, based on where kids are in their cognitive and emotional development.

C．Maybe the friend said something unkind or broke something precious, embarrassed them, excluded them, or told their secrets.

D．Later, we might think we’ve forgiven them, only to experience a sudden burst of anger.

E．Children watch how important adults in their lives respond when someone does something unkind.

F．Parents teach their children based on their own personal experiences, skillfully making sure their children understand “eye for eye, and tooth for tooth”.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Although many companies offer tuition repayment, most companies only repay employees for classes that are 【1】 to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees 【2】 tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 【3】 to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 【4】 in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 【5】. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 【6】 by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 【7】 to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 【8】, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.

And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 【9】 benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 【10】 so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Megan is a bright and curious little girl，as most children at age eight.When walking she looks up，down，or sideways，never where she's going.One day，she spotted，partly covered by leaves and litter，a $100 bill.She looked to see if anyone was watching and bent down to crumple(弄皱) the bill in her tiny hand.Sliding it into her jacket pocket，she took another guilty look and then hurried off to school.

Her day was spent watching her jacket hung on the wall by the door.During lunch，she took it off and ran to the far side of the playground to pull out the crumpled bill and stare at it and see that it was real and belonged to her.When some older kids wandered by，she put it back into her pocket quickly and rushed back into the classroom.

It wasn't until she was riding home on the school bus that she started to wonder about whom the bill had belonged to before it came to be hers.“Probably somebody rich，” she thought.“Why else would he be so careless with $100 bills？”

She imagined a tall man in a fine wool jacket walking to his big car and pulling out a roll of money，not noticing one bill drifting(飘)to the ground.Putting the roll back in his pocket，he climbed into his car and drove away.Just then，a wind blew some leaves to cover most of the lost bill.

But，then she thought，what if the bill had been a present for his little niece with her grandma because her parents were killed in a car crash? She'd have treasured that $100 bill because it came from her generous uncle.And she'd be dreaming，even now if she hadn't realised she'd lost it，of all the toys and treats that the bill could buy.She could use it to buy a present for her grandmother.She would be heartbroken to find she'd lost that $100 bill.
