    Good Heart to Lean on

        More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.

    When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very1 and when we walked together, his hand on my arm2 balance, people would stare at us. I would feel uncomfortable at the unwanted3 if he ever noticed, he never 4 that he knew.

        It was 5 to coordinate(协调一致) our steps—his hesitant, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much6 we went along. When we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to 7you.” Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was 8 he got to work. In my memory he went to work in spite of 9 or bad weather, and he never missed a day and would 10 it to the office even if others could not. He never talked about himself as an object of 11 nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate. What he 12 for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

        Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 13 by which to judge people, even though I14don't know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.

        He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 15 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 16now I'm sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for feeling 17 to be with him in public. I think of him when I complain (抱怨) about something unimportant, when I am 18 of another's good fortune, and when I don't19 a “good heart” At such times I put my hand on his arm to 20 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will go behind you.”

三、阅读理解

        A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting.

        I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.

        It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.

        As a child visiting my father's office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.

        All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be expected to learn to hold a pen.

        I don't buy it.

        I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.

        What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.

    1. (1) Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting?
      A . He had worked with his colleague long enough. B . His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful. C . His colleague's handwriting was so terrible. D . He still had a lot of work to do.
    2. (2) People working together in an office used to       .
      A . talk more about handwriting B . take more notes on workdays C . know better one another's handwriting D . communicate better with one another
    3. (3) According to the author, handwritten notes       .
      A . are harder to teach in schools B . attract more attention C . are used only between friends D . carry more message
    4. (4) We can learn from the passage that the author       .
      A . thinks it impossible to teach handwriting B . does not want to lose handwriting C . puts the blame on the computer D . does not agree with Florey

        Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.

        Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded low—land Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner's permission, except in national parks.

        Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modem conveniences. A busy, fully—equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access; walking in makes a real adventure.

        Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night's sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

    1. (1) You needn't ask for permission when camping in       .
      A . national parks in England B . most parts of Scotland C . crowded low — land Britain D . most parts of England
    2. (2) The author thinks that a good campsite is one       .
      A . with easy access B . used previously C . with modem conveniences D . far away from beaches
    3. (3) The passage is mainly about       .
      A . the protection of campsites B . the importance of wild camping C . the human influence on campsites D . the dos and don'ts of wild camping

        Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.

        Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.

        This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company's environmental reputation was not good enough.

    Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: "I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don't have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand."

        Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.

    The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. "When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions," Mr. Morrison said.

    1. (1) What's the main idea of the passage?
      A . Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers. B . Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions. C . Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home. D . Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers, environmental awareness.
    2. (2) The underlined word "inform" in Paragraph 2 probably means "      ".
      A . affect B . change C . disturb D . reject
    3. (3) According to Harry Morrison, businesses       .
      A . will benefit from cutting carbon emissions B . should buy carbon allowances for shoppers C . are required to make up for their carbon emissions D . have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
    4. (4) We can learn from the passage that businesses will       .
      A . have a strong desire to reduce costs B . use the same logo in their marketing C . gain advantages by taking early action D . attract more shoppers by storing goods

        Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.

        Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

        Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the area which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).

        Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

        Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well, perhaps you'll understand why.

    1. (1) Mirror neurons can explain       .
      A . why we cry when we are hurt B . why we cough when we suffer from a cold C . why we smile when we see someone else smile D . why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
    2. (2) The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “      ”.
      A . set off B . cut off C . built up D . broken up
    3. (3) We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons       .
      A . relate to human behavior and interaction B . control human physical actions and feelings C . result in bad behavior and social disorders D . determine our knowledge and language abilities
    4. (4) What is the passage mainly about?
      A . Ways to find mirror neurons. B . Problems of mirror neurons. C . Existence of mirror neurons. D . Functions of mirror neurons.

    The Value of Tears

        Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface.

        When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions (情绪), afraid that once they lose control they'll never get it back.”After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.

        Sometimes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling — shock, anger, fear, or sadness— is being held back.

        But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people don't like it when others cry because it makes them tense And they'll do just about anything to make you stop.

        In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good not to cry during a tense business discussion You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”

        Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.

    A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.

    B. They cry for different reasons.

    C. She gives crying exercises.

    D. It contains a chemical against infection (炎症).

    E. The fact is no emotion lasts forever.

    F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.

    G. But once you're safely behind closed doors, don't just cry.
