When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States，Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me.”No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls.At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until 27 she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then in New York State，at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited(展览) in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930s and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form.“I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it” she said.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resourcehungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environmentfriendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements(代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.
【语篇解读】 本文以高尔夫球场为例，呼吁大家做一些低能耗、环境友好的体育运动。
8．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?
A．Playing basketball in a gym.
B．Motor racing in the desert.
C．Cycling around a lake.
D．Swimming in a sports centre.
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be ‘green gyms’．”和倒数第二句“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.”可知，环保运动是在室外、在乡村或其他开阔地区使用环保设备进行的体育运动。因此推断C项“绕着湖泊骑自行车”是作者支持的运动。故C项正确。]
9．What do we know about golf from the passage?
A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D．It causes water shortages around the world.
B [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二、三句“Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.”可知，高尔夫球占地多、用水多、维护起来耗费能源多，因此推断高尔夫球场需要水电维持球场是绿色的。故B项正确。]
10．The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ．
A．it uses fewer resources
B．it improves our health
C．it is an outdoor sport
D．it is recommended by experts
A [细节理解题。文章第三段首先提到“There are many environmentfriendly sports.”，然后介绍power walking，结合下文“You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.”可推断，作者用power walking为例的原因是疾走锻炼不需要特殊的设备，你不必担心资源和钱包。也就是这项运动只使用很少的资源。故A项正确。]
11．The author writes the passage to ．
A．show us the function of major sports
B．encourage us to go in for green sports
C．discuss the major influence of popular sports
D．introduce different types of environmentfriendly sports
B [写作意图题。纵观全文可知，文章简述了资源耗费较多的运动，如：高尔夫，也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动，如：power walking，最后一段作者提到“Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.”可知，作者写文章的目的是为了让我们选择绿色环保运动。故B项正确。]
D
Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse，have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why，thank you，”but you knew you had missed the mark．Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?
Choosing the right gift is an art，I believe.It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart.We're all able to do this；in fact.We're born with a kind of natural empathy.After the earliest period of childhood，however，it needs to be reinforced (加强)—by our parents，teachers，friends.When it isn't，we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply.This can show in the gifts we select，and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.
Think back to the presents you've given over the past year，the time and effort you put into your selection，how much you spent，your thoughts while you were shopping，and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.Of course，you may express yourself differently with different friends，relatives，and other people you know.
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away.If you really dislike such a tradition，tell your friends ahead of time.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了不管是接受、送出、还是挑选礼物，礼物本身都包含了一定的信息，这个信息从送出者传递到接受者。只有了解礼物接受者的喜好，才能挑选出合适的礼物。
12．The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means you had failed to ．
A．get the expected effect
B．keep your friendship
C．receive a present in return
D．make her feel better
A [词义猜测题。由第一段“Maybe she responded with a polite ‘Why，thank you，’可知，送错了礼物，她不高兴。“you had missed the mark”的着重点是分析“mark”表示的含义。送别人礼物是希望别人高兴，因此mark最可能的意思是别人高兴的表情。这个高兴的表情就是送礼者所期望的效果，送错了礼物，就没有这个期望的效果了。故A选项正确。]
13．Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.
B．Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
C．Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
D．Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.
B [段落大意题。由第二段“Choosing the right gift is an art，I believe.It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart .”给别人挑选礼物是一门艺术，它叫做感情移入。以及“When it isn't，we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply.”当这种能力不能得到加强时，我们就不能了解别人的感受，所以判断出段落的大意为“挑选礼物时需要去了解接受者。”故B选项正确。]
14．In the third paragraph，the author tells us that ．
A．attention should be paid to the receivers' responses
B．one learns from what he did in the past
C．the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities
D．one should spend more time choosing gifts
C [细节理解题。由第三段“Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world .”可知，谨记你挑选的礼物反映你的内心世界。作者的意思是，挑选礼物能反映你情感水准的高低。故C选项正确。]
15．The best possible title for this passage is “ ”．
A．Ways of Choosing Gifts
B．An Important Tradition
C．Exchanging Presents
D．Message in a Gift
D [标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段第一句“We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.”可知，D选项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist，with worldfamous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. 16 But his notebooks，filled with his strange writing，show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.
17 If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration，it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses (天才) of all time.
Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl，Leonardo was given only a very basic education.After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio，he began to work for himself.The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation. 18
At the age of thirty，he left his hometown and moved to Milan，where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 19 In fact，his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics.During this period，he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器)．
In 1506，he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 20 He also studied many other animals，comparing their bodies to the human body.From then on，Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.
A．Before long，he returned to his painting.
B．Of course，his place in art history is certain.
C．It also shows his great interest in technology.
D．The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.

F．Here he continued to combine his scientific work with his painting.
G．It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了皮影戏的表现形式和它的由来。
36．a [考查冠词。句意：皮影戏历史悠久，是一种独特的艺术形式。a kind of“一种……”kind被unique修饰且unique的首字母音素为辅音，所以用不定冠词a。]
37．by [考查介词。句意：它是通过在一块白布上投射木偶的影子来完成的。by doing“通过做某事”。故填by。]
38．are painted [考查动词的时态和语态。句意：皮制的木偶被漆成非常鲜艳的颜色，所以他们的影子是丰富多彩的。分析句子可知，句子为一般现在时，主语The puppets，与谓语paint为被动关系。故填 are painted。]

40．showing [考查非谓语动词。句意：当表演皮影戏时，玩家站在布料后面，在强光下移动木偶，木偶的影子落在布料上。本句为省略句，还原后为：when they are showing。故填showing。]

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall.I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage.After the purchase in one of the large，fancy，expensive shops，I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage，which was not cheap at all，if she could ring the number of my driver for me.She replied，still all smiles，“I'm sorry，Sir，but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was，I saw a nicelooking teenage boy coming toward me.Remembering my wife's interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you're in trouble，I thought I might have a chance.But before I could say a word，he walked past me.It turned out he simply didn't see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me.Disappointed and tired，I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front.I stood there with people rushing by，looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face.I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.
Paragraph 2：
Finally a man wearing a cheap Tshirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids. I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me.So，with great expectation，I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face，and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me.However，what I saw was a woman's face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath.Without a word，she pulled her kids to escape from me，as if scared by a murderer.I stood there，motionless，with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Paragraph 2：
Finally a man wearing a cheap Tshirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness，and requested him the same thing.Unexpectedly，he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions.Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long.From that day on，I began helping other strangers in distress，just like the poorlooking but kind man，with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people's hearts.

When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States，Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me.”No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls.At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until 27 she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then in New York State，at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited(展览) in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930s and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form.“I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it” she said.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resourcehungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environmentfriendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements(代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.
【语篇解读】 本文以高尔夫球场为例，呼吁大家做一些低能耗、环境友好的体育运动。

D．Swimming in a sports centre.
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be ‘green gyms’．”和倒数第二句“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.”可知，环保运动是在室外、在乡村或其他开阔地区使用环保设备进行的体育运动。因此推断C项“绕着湖泊骑自行车”是作者支持的运动。故C项正确。]
9．What do we know about golf from the passage?
A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D．It causes water shortages around the world.
B [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二、三句“Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.”可知，高尔夫球占地多、用水多、维护起来耗费能源多，因此推断高尔夫球场需要水电维持球场是绿色的。故B项正确。]
10．The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ．
A．it uses fewer resources
B．it improves our health
C．it is an outdoor sport
D．it is recommended by experts
A [细节理解题。文章第三段首先提到“There are many environmentfriendly sports.”，然后介绍power walking，结合下文“You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.”可推断，作者用power walking为例的原因是疾走锻炼不需要特殊的设备，你不必担心资源和钱包。也就是这项运动只使用很少的资源。故A项正确。]
11．The author writes the passage to ．
A．show us the function of major sports
B．encourage us to go in for green sports
C．discuss the major influence of popular sports
D．introduce different types of environmentfriendly sports
B [写作意图题。纵观全文可知，文章简述了资源耗费较多的运动，如：高尔夫，也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动，如：power walking，最后一段作者提到“Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmentfriendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.”可知，作者写文章的目的是为了让我们选择绿色环保运动。故B项正确。]

Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse，have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why，thank you，”but you knew you had missed the mark．Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?
Choosing the right gift is an art，I believe.It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart.We're all able to do this；in fact.We're born with a kind of natural empathy.After the earliest period of childhood，however，it needs to be reinforced (加强)—by our parents，teachers，friends.When it isn't，we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply.This can show in the gifts we select，and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.
Think back to the presents you've given over the past year，the time and effort you put into your selection，how much you spent，your thoughts while you were shopping，and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.Of course，you may express yourself differently with different friends，relatives，and other people you know.
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away.If you really dislike such a tradition，tell your friends ahead of time.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了不管是接受、送出、还是挑选礼物，礼物本身都包含了一定的信息，这个信息从送出者传递到接受者。只有了解礼物接受者的喜好，才能挑选出合适的礼物。
12．The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means you had failed to ．
A．get the expected effect
B．keep your friendship
C．receive a present in return
D．make her feel better
A [词义猜测题。由第一段“Maybe she responded with a polite ‘Why，thank you，’可知，送错了礼物，她不高兴。“you had missed the mark”的着重点是分析“mark”表示的含义。送别人礼物是希望别人高兴，因此mark最可能的意思是别人高兴的表情。这个高兴的表情就是送礼者所期望的效果，送错了礼物，就没有这个期望的效果了。故A选项正确。]
13．Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.
B．Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
C．Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
D．Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.
B [段落大意题。由第二段“Choosing the right gift is an art，I believe.It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart .”给别人挑选礼物是一门艺术，它叫做感情移入。以及“When it isn't，we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply.”当这种能力不能得到加强时，我们就不能了解别人的感受，所以判断出段落的大意为“挑选礼物时需要去了解接受者。”故B选项正确。]
14．In the third paragraph，the author tells us that ．
A．attention should be paid to the receivers' responses
B．one learns from what he did in the past
C．the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities
D．one should spend more time choosing gifts
C [细节理解题。由第三段“Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world .”可知，谨记你挑选的礼物反映你的内心世界。作者的意思是，挑选礼物能反映你情感水准的高低。故C选项正确。]
15．The best possible title for this passage is “ ”．
A．Ways of Choosing Gifts
B．An Important Tradition
C．Exchanging Presents
D．Message in a Gift
D [标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段第一句“We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.”可知，D选项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist，with worldfamous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. 16 But his notebooks，filled with his strange writing，show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.
17 If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration，it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses (天才) of all time.
Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl，Leonardo was given only a very basic education.After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio，he began to work for himself.The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation. 18
At the age of thirty，he left his hometown and moved to Milan，where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 19 In fact，his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics.During this period，he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器)．
In 1506，he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 20 He also studied many other animals，comparing their bodies to the human body.From then on，Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.
A．Before long，he returned to his painting.
B．Of course，his place in art history is certain.
C．It also shows his great interest in technology.
D．The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.
E．He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood.

G．It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了皮影戏的表现形式和它的由来。
36．a [考查冠词。句意：皮影戏历史悠久，是一种独特的艺术形式。a kind of“一种……”kind被unique修饰且unique的首字母音素为辅音，所以用不定冠词a。]

38．are painted [考查动词的时态和语态。句意：皮制的木偶被漆成非常鲜艳的颜色，所以他们的影子是丰富多彩的。分析句子可知，句子为一般现在时，主语The puppets，与谓语paint为被动关系。故填 are painted。]

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall.I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage.After the purchase in one of the large，fancy，expensive shops，I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage，which was not cheap at all，if she could ring the number of my driver for me.She replied，still all smiles，“I'm sorry，Sir，but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was，I saw a nicelooking teenage boy coming toward me.Remembering my wife's interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you're in trouble，I thought I might have a chance.But before I could say a word，he walked past me.It turned out he simply didn't see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me.Disappointed and tired，I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front.I stood there with people rushing by，looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face.I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
Paragraph 1:
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.
Paragraph 2：
Finally a man wearing a cheap Tshirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids. I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me.So，with great expectation，I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face，and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me.However，what I saw was a woman's face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath.Without a word，she pulled her kids to escape from me，as if scared by a murderer.I stood there，motionless，with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Paragraph 2：
Finally a man wearing a cheap Tshirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness，and requested him the same thing.Unexpectedly，he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions.Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long.From that day on，I began helping other strangers in distress，just like the poorlooking but kind man，with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people's hearts.
