A
There is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. Sadly, she went to the holy man and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”
Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sadness. We will use it to drive the sadness out of your life.” The woman happily went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.
She first came to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is it such a place? It is very important to me.”
They told her “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place” and began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them recently.
The woman said to herself, “I have had misfortune of my own. Who is able to help these poor, unfortunate people?” She stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sadness. But wherever she went, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.
She became so involved in other people’s sorrow that finally she forgot about her search for the magical mustard seed, never realizing that it had, in fact, driven the sadness out of her life.

A .was full of hope B .was filled with sadness
C .was determined to try again D .became discouraged

What if you had only three minutes to grab whatever you could take from your home and the rest would be lost forever? What would you take?
As the disasters in Japan changed from the earthquakes and tsunamis (海啸) to nuclear radiati on (核辐射), many people that have been forced to leave their homes are facing the fact that they may not be able to return for a long time.
With this in mind, let‟s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag. This bag is a collection of goods that you would need to survive (生存) if you have to escape from your home with no shelter, food or water during the unexpected situations.
A good B.O.B. should include things that are needed for life:
● A sleeping bag, or at least a blanket.
● Drinking water.
● High-calorie, no-cook foods like protein bars, peanut butter, etc.
● First-aid supplies.
● Fire-starting methods, and a small pot to boil water or cook.
● A few basic tools like a knife, some rope, etc.
● Flashlight with extra batteries.
● Cash.
● A digital backup (备份) of all your important documents and family treasures.
You could keep a B.O.B. by the front door, or even have several bags at home, at the office and in your car. This might seem like more than needed to some of you, but just imagine what a difference this kind of preparation would have made to the people of Japan. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen to you.
24. The author asks the questions in the first paragraph to_____.
A. test the readers‟ common sense B. show the importance of a B.O.B
C. attract the readers‟ interest D. encourage the readers to ask questions
25. What is the main purpose of preparing a B.O.B?
A. To find out the causes of disasters. B. To help people protect their treasures.
C. To prevent disasters from happening. D. To help people survive unexpected disasters.
26. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. a B.O.B. should be as light as possible B. we can prepare more than one B.O.B
C. a B.O.B. is only necessary for the Japanese D.a B.O.B. should contain all the valuable things
27. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. What a B.O.B. is B. How to escape from disasters
C. Preparations for outdoor life D. Dangerous disasters on the earth
C
Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim’s case was. When Jim was a child, his father,
a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim’s father was 48.
“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,” Dr. Smoller says.“He felt that if he had not asked him to, too. at his homework,his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years.” Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.
Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays m physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less
direct than Jim’s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes(基因), may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
28. Jim was sent back to operation because__________.
A. his heart didn’t work well B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasn’t well performed

C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim’s death is closely connected with his father’s.
30. From Smoller’s words, we can infer that__________.
A. Jim’s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48
31.Which of the following could have strong effect on one’s physical health according to the text?
a. One’s genes.
b. One’s life in childhood.
c. One’s physical education.

Coca-Cola has created a publicity stunt (作秀) in Singapore — a vending machine (自动售货机) which gives out free cans of Coke in return for hugs. The whacky idea is part of the company’s Open Happiness campaign designed to attract young people in Singapore.
Students at the National University of Singapore were surprised to find that the soft drinks company had placed the machine in the schoolyard. But instead of the drinks brand’s logo (标志), the words “Hug Me” are written across its red-and-white logo. Instead of paying money, customers have to hug the drinks machine to receive a free can of Coke.

happiness in an unexpected, creative way to attract not only the people present, but the audience atlarge.”
He hopes that it will encourage consumers to bring positivity, optimism and fun into their lives and to open a Coke, sharing a little happiness.
The machines have been such a success that there are plans to roll them out across Asia. Mr. O’Grady added, “The reaction was amazing — at one point we had four to five people hugging the machine at the same time as well as each other! In fact, there was a long line of people looking to give hugs.”
