Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi. One day, I was called at midnight to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was 16 dark except for one light in a window.
I walked to the door and knocked. After a long 17 , the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood in front of me. By her side was a small suitcase.
“Would you 18 my suitcase out to the car?” she said. I took it and gave her my arm. We walked slowly to the street. She thanked me for my kindness 19 . “That’s all right,” I told her. “I try to treat my passengers how I want my mother treated.”
When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address. Then she 20 me to drive her through the downtown. “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “I’m in no 21 and I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” she said, her eyes shinning with 22 .
“I don’t have any family 23 .” she continued. “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” I quietly turned off the meter (记表器). “What road do you want me to take?” I asked. For hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. 24 she asked me to slow down, while she sat looking into the 25 , saying nothing.
As the sun was coming up, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the hospice, and later we arrived. When we pulled up, two nurses were waiting for us. They helped her into a wheelchair.
“How much should I pay?” she asked me, 26 for her purse.
“ 27 .” I said. Without thinking, I leaned down (俯下身来) and gave her a hug. She also hugged me tightly.
“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.” she said. “Thank you.”
I squeezed (紧握) her hand and then walked back to my taxi. For the 28 of the day, I could hardly talk. I believe I have never done anything more 29 in my life. We usually think that our lives are defined by great moments. But I now realize that great moments catch us by surprise, because they often seem quite 30 . It is a taxi ride I’ll never forget.

(A)
It just hadn’t been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam had just opened his e-mail to find an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.
An invitation to a party at Rosa’s would have been good news. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. Members of the club took trips to places such as the Museum of Natural History.
Sam knew that he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had left in his pocket? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! “Well,” Sam thought, “I don’t have time to worry about this right now. I’ve got a report to write for school, and I’d better get to the library before it closes.”
Later that afternoon, as Sam was leaving the library, he noticed a sign that said there was a book sale going on downstairs. Sam headed down for a quick look, and two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky to give her used books for her birthday?”
Sam decided that a used gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way, so probably she would not mind. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home feeling a little better.
The party on Saturday was a lot of fun. Everyone told stories about the funny things they had done in Adventure Club—like the time they went hiking in a nearby park and fell into the lake. Rosa’s mother and grandmother served them delicious food and creamy coconut milkshakes. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She stopped for a moment when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. The moment passed, and soon the party was over.
When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail to find this note from Rosa:
Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about women explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. You are a good friend.
Love,
Rosa
The week turned out to be a good one after all.

Perfectly Imperfect
The artist Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps best known for painting the Mona Lisa, produced a drawing called the Vitruvian Man. In it, da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body. But is this really what a perfect body looks like?
An imperfect man
Consider Michael Phelps.The winningest swimmer of all time, Phelps earned 28 Olympic medals. His body does not look like the Vitruvian Man. In fact, Phelps’ body is quite unusual. The best swimmers tend to have long torsos （躯干） and short legs. Phelps is 6 feet 4 inches tall, but his torso is as long as what you would expect to see in a man who is 6 feet 8 inches tall. His legs are the length typical of a man who is 5 feet 10 inches. Phelps has long arms too. Like the Vitruvian Man, most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height. Phelps’ wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches, three inches longer than his height.
His ankles are extremely flexible and his feet are big. So Phelps’ legs act like flippers（脚蹼）when he swims.
No one could argue that Phelps has a perfect body in da Vinci’s sense. But is it correct to say it is imperfect? What does “perfection” mean when we are talking about human biology? Does it even exist?
What is physical perfection?
Maybe perfection has more to do with how a body works than how it looks. How we work actually depends upon how well we fit into our environment.
Here’s an example from the animal kingdom. Imagine brown rabbits and white rabbits in a snowy field. Under these conditions, predators （捕食者） are less likely to see and catch the white rabbits. In a summertime field—all brown soil and green and golden plants—white rabbits are more visible （可见的） and easier to catch. Neither white nor brown fur is perfect for rabbit survival. Rabbits need different bodies for different seasons. And in fact, in some types of rabbits, fur color changes with the seasons. Like rabbits, all living things adapt to their environments. They need some changes to help thrive （茁壮成长） in their specific environments. But evolution （演变） isn’t engineering. Often, imperfections that don’t affect survival too badly get passed down through the generations.
Variation （变化） as a way to success.
Michael Phelps’ body is not perfectly symmetrical （对称的）or balanced. His physical variations, however, may have given him the advantages to be a close-to-perfect swimmer. Phelps’ case is not the only one; top athletes show great variability that provides them with the physical characteristics to approach perfection in action. Usain Bolt, an Olympic sprinter （短跑运动员）, has legs so long that it takes him four to five fewer steps to complete a 100-meter race than his competitors.
Simone Biles, another Olympic gold medalist, is both strong and small. It is perfect for her sport of gymnastics.She may also have a better-than-average ability to sense where her body is in space, perhaps making jumps easier than it would be for an average person. No athlete is born with the skills to win gold medals, though. Those achievements require years of effort.
Using variation to your advantage
Da Vinci’s drawing of the Vitruvian Man put maths and art together. To da Vinci, the Vitruvian Man showed perfect proportions （比例）. It was his image of the perfectly formed man. Da Vinci is a time-honored artist, but is there really such a thing as a perfect body?
No.
In biology, there is no such thing as one perfect body. In fact, variation in all living things, including us, is the rule. This variation is important for our life. Human variation has allowed us to live in wildly different environments—the tropics, deserts, and the Arctic—and to develop many different physical, mental, and emotional talents. Not only is there no perfect human body, but also our species thrives because we are different from one another, each of us suited to our own way of living.

A．To explain what makes a perfect swimmer.
B．To describe the rules in the swimming world.
C．To introduce a perfect body in da Vinci’s sense.
D．To compare it with the perfection that was shown in the drawing by da Vinci.
38．What can we learn from the rabbit example in Paragraph 6?
A．Physical imperfections influence the process of evolution.
B．Rabbits learn to change their fur color to avoid predators.
C．Evolution only chooses for physical perfections in living things.
D．Physical perfection in one situation can be imperfect in another.

(C)
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for holidays’ is “vacancies”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. So they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workers are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you”.

41．My Spanish friends wanted advice about driving their car on English roads.
42．“NO VACANCIES” in English means no free rooms.
43．I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels.
44．I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I was expecting another cup of coffee.
45．The same words may mean differently in different cultures.

A camping trip can be a pleasant way to see the great outdoors. 46 No matter where you choose to camp, near a large city, in a forest, in the mountains, or near a windswept beach, a successful camping trip is always dependent on the planning beforehand.
The first consideration in planning any camping trip is the weather. 47 Camping in terrible weather can be a nightmare even a disaster. Therefore, when planning your trip, always check weather forecasts a few days before you leave.
Clothing for camping largely depends on the weather but even in summer it is wise to bring clothing for both hot and cold temperatures. 48 A waterproof coat is highly recommended to be added into your package.
Whatever you choose for shelter, make sure you know how to use it properly and see that it keeps the rain off your sleeping area. Do remember that the sleeping bag you choose should fit the season. A suitable blanket and a pillow are best choices for a good outdoor sleep.
49 Bring along a first aid kit and go over the safety rules with everyone in your party. Bring a cell phone in case of an emergency. Keep it turned off if you prefer, but it will be there if necessary. At least, have an emergency back-up plan. 50 Tell them where you will be and when to expect you back and make sure everyone in the party knows what to do and where to go if there is an injury or if someone gets lost.
阅读文章，在下面的五个选项中选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。（5分）
A．Safety is important on every camping trip.
B．Leave information at home or with friends.
C．Bring a few more clothes than you need and plenty of socks.
D．It’s also a wonderful chance for family and friends to spend time together.
E．Most people camp during summer months when the air is warm and pleasant.

Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a kind of illness in which a person does not eat in a normal or healthy way.
In the United States, restrictions for COVID-19(新冠管控) are loosening, however eating disorder cases are on the rise. Experts warn that being alone and feeling anxious can increase the harmfulness of eating disorders.
“We are certainly seeing great increases,” said Jennifer Wildes who is an associate psychiatry professor (精神病学副教授) at the University of Chicago Medicine. She told the reporter that some patients are waiting to five months to get mental health treatment and medical cares. Before COVID-19, she added, wait times were usually only a few weeks. Recently, Wildes’ program treats about 100 patients. Before COVID-19, the number of patients was half that number.
Another treatment program for eating disorders at the University of Minnesota is experiencing the same thing. Daily calls to its program from people asking for treatment have doubled. In 2019, there were about 60 calls a day. “Since COVID-19 began, that number is up to 130 calls a day,” said Jillian Lampert, who is one of the leaders of the program.
Because of COVID-19, some people make themselves eat a lot as a way to deal with the feeling of “out of control”. Other people are doing the opposite of things. They are taking the message of “don’t gain COVID-19 weight” too strictly. They are reducing their meals to the point of anorexia(厌食症). Bulimic (贪食) is also a kind of eating disorder. Bulimic people eat large amount of food and then force themselves to throw it up.
A study of electronic medical records from about 80 U. S. hospitals found a 30 percent increase of eating disorder starting after March 2020, compared with numbers from 2018 and 2019. The leader of the study, Dr. Dave Little said that the COVID pandemic has given society, and in particular young people, a lot of mental health difficulties.
Here are some signs of eating disorder from the U. S. National Eating Disorders Organization.
◎Thinking about weight, body size, and food too much.
◎Seem uneasy eating around others.
◎Restrictions against types of food, for example, bread or sugar.
◎Avoiding usual friends and social activities.
◎Extreme change in mood and behavior.

53．How many patients does Wildes’ program treat recently?

Giving Is Receiving
I’m a student from Green Middle School. My name is Li Ming. I like helping others because I think it makes me very happy. I often help my classmates with their schoolwork. Sometimes I help clean up city parks. I go to the old people’s home and do some cleaning for them once a month. So I’m pretty popular there. I often visit the children’s hospital to cheer the sick kids up. I read stories and sing songs for them. I am good with children. I also give money to charities to help people in trouble.
I think giving is receiving. Helping others is helping ourselves. If you are a person who like to give and help, then you will be also a person who often receive something from others. Do you agree with me?

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi. One day, I was called at midnight to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was 16 dark except for one light in a window.

“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.” she said. “Thank you.”
I squeezed (紧握) her hand and then walked back to my taxi. For the 28 of the day, I could hardly talk. I believe I have never done anything more 29 in my life. We usually think that our lives are defined by great moments. But I now realize that great moments catch us by surprise, because they often seem quite 30 . It is a taxi ride I’ll never forget.

(A)
It just hadn’t been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam had just opened his e-mail to find an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.
An invitation to a party at Rosa’s would have been good news. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. Members of the club took trips to places such as the Museum of Natural History.
Sam knew that he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had left in his pocket? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! “Well,” Sam thought, “I don’t have time to worry about this right now. I’ve got a report to write for school, and I’d better get to the library before it closes.”
Later that afternoon, as Sam was leaving the library, he noticed a sign that said there was a book sale going on downstairs. Sam headed down for a quick look, and two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky to give her used books for her birthday?”
Sam decided that a used gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way, so probably she would not mind. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home feeling a little better.
The party on Saturday was a lot of fun. Everyone told stories about the funny things they had done in Adventure Club—like the time they went hiking in a nearby park and fell into the lake. Rosa’s mother and grandmother served them delicious food and creamy coconut milkshakes. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She stopped for a moment when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. The moment passed, and soon the party was over.
When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail to find this note from Rosa:
Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about women explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. You are a good friend.
Love,
Rosa
The week turned out to be a good one after all.

Perfectly Imperfect
The artist Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps best known for painting the Mona Lisa, produced a drawing called the Vitruvian Man. In it, da Vinci showed his idea of the perfectly sized male body. But is this really what a perfect body looks like?
An imperfect man
Consider Michael Phelps.The winningest swimmer of all time, Phelps earned 28 Olympic medals. His body does not look like the Vitruvian Man. In fact, Phelps’ body is quite unusual. The best swimmers tend to have long torsos （躯干） and short legs. Phelps is 6 feet 4 inches tall, but his torso is as long as what you would expect to see in a man who is 6 feet 8 inches tall. His legs are the length typical of a man who is 5 feet 10 inches. Phelps has long arms too. Like the Vitruvian Man, most people have a wingspan roughly the same as their height. Phelps’ wingspan is 6 feet 7 inches, three inches longer than his height.
His ankles are extremely flexible and his feet are big. So Phelps’ legs act like flippers（脚蹼）when he swims.
No one could argue that Phelps has a perfect body in da Vinci’s sense. But is it correct to say it is imperfect? What does “perfection” mean when we are talking about human biology? Does it even exist?
What is physical perfection?
Maybe perfection has more to do with how a body works than how it looks. How we work actually depends upon how well we fit into our environment.
Here’s an example from the animal kingdom. Imagine brown rabbits and white rabbits in a snowy field. Under these conditions, predators （捕食者） are less likely to see and catch the white rabbits. In a summertime field—all brown soil and green and golden plants—white rabbits are more visible （可见的） and easier to catch. Neither white nor brown fur is perfect for rabbit survival. Rabbits need different bodies for different seasons. And in fact, in some types of rabbits, fur color changes with the seasons. Like rabbits, all living things adapt to their environments. They need some changes to help thrive （茁壮成长） in their specific environments. But evolution （演变） isn’t engineering. Often, imperfections that don’t affect survival too badly get passed down through the generations.
Variation （变化） as a way to success.
Michael Phelps’ body is not perfectly symmetrical （对称的）or balanced. His physical variations, however, may have given him the advantages to be a close-to-perfect swimmer. Phelps’ case is not the only one; top athletes show great variability that provides them with the physical characteristics to approach perfection in action. Usain Bolt, an Olympic sprinter （短跑运动员）, has legs so long that it takes him four to five fewer steps to complete a 100-meter race than his competitors.
Simone Biles, another Olympic gold medalist, is both strong and small. It is perfect for her sport of gymnastics.She may also have a better-than-average ability to sense where her body is in space, perhaps making jumps easier than it would be for an average person. No athlete is born with the skills to win gold medals, though. Those achievements require years of effort.
Using variation to your advantage
Da Vinci’s drawing of the Vitruvian Man put maths and art together. To da Vinci, the Vitruvian Man showed perfect proportions （比例）. It was his image of the perfectly formed man. Da Vinci is a time-honored artist, but is there really such a thing as a perfect body?
No.
In biology, there is no such thing as one perfect body. In fact, variation in all living things, including us, is the rule. This variation is important for our life. Human variation has allowed us to live in wildly different environments—the tropics, deserts, and the Arctic—and to develop many different physical, mental, and emotional talents. Not only is there no perfect human body, but also our species thrives because we are different from one another, each of us suited to our own way of living.

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for holidays’ is “vacancies”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. So they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workers are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you”.

A camping trip can be a pleasant way to see the great outdoors. 46 No matter where you choose to camp, near a large city, in a forest, in the mountains, or near a windswept beach, a successful camping trip is always dependent on the planning beforehand.
The first consideration in planning any camping trip is the weather. 47 Camping in terrible weather can be a nightmare even a disaster. Therefore, when planning your trip, always check weather forecasts a few days before you leave.
Clothing for camping largely depends on the weather but even in summer it is wise to bring clothing for both hot and cold temperatures. 48 A waterproof coat is highly recommended to be added into your package.
Whatever you choose for shelter, make sure you know how to use it properly and see that it keeps the rain off your sleeping area. Do remember that the sleeping bag you choose should fit the season. A suitable blanket and a pillow are best choices for a good outdoor sleep.
49 Bring along a first aid kit and go over the safety rules with everyone in your party. Bring a cell phone in case of an emergency. Keep it turned off if you prefer, but it will be there if necessary. At least, have an emergency back-up plan. 50 Tell them where you will be and when to expect you back and make sure everyone in the party knows what to do and where to go if there is an injury or if someone gets lost.
阅读文章，在下面的五个选项中选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。（5分）
A．Safety is important on every camping trip.
B．Leave information at home or with friends.
C．Bring a few more clothes than you need and plenty of socks.
D．It’s also a wonderful chance for family and friends to spend time together.
E．Most people camp during summer months when the air is warm and pleasant.

Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a kind of illness in which a person does not eat in a normal or healthy way.
In the United States, restrictions for COVID-19(新冠管控) are loosening, however eating disorder cases are on the rise. Experts warn that being alone and feeling anxious can increase the harmfulness of eating disorders.
“We are certainly seeing great increases,” said Jennifer Wildes who is an associate psychiatry professor (精神病学副教授) at the University of Chicago Medicine. She told the reporter that some patients are waiting to five months to get mental health treatment and medical cares. Before COVID-19, she added, wait times were usually only a few weeks. Recently, Wildes’ program treats about 100 patients. Before COVID-19, the number of patients was half that number.
Another treatment program for eating disorders at the University of Minnesota is experiencing the same thing. Daily calls to its program from people asking for treatment have doubled. In 2019, there were about 60 calls a day. “Since COVID-19 began, that number is up to 130 calls a day,” said Jillian Lampert, who is one of the leaders of the program.
Because of COVID-19, some people make themselves eat a lot as a way to deal with the feeling of “out of control”. Other people are doing the opposite of things. They are taking the message of “don’t gain COVID-19 weight” too strictly. They are reducing their meals to the point of anorexia(厌食症). Bulimic (贪食) is also a kind of eating disorder. Bulimic people eat large amount of food and then force themselves to throw it up.
A study of electronic medical records from about 80 U. S. hospitals found a 30 percent increase of eating disorder starting after March 2020, compared with numbers from 2018 and 2019. The leader of the study, Dr. Dave Little said that the COVID pandemic has given society, and in particular young people, a lot of mental health difficulties.
Here are some signs of eating disorder from the U. S. National Eating Disorders Organization.
◎Thinking about weight, body size, and food too much.
◎Seem uneasy eating around others.
◎Restrictions against types of food, for example, bread or sugar.
◎Avoiding usual friends and social activities.
◎Extreme change in mood and behavior.

Giving Is Receiving
I’m a student from Green Middle School. My name is Li Ming. I like helping others because I think it makes me very happy. I often help my classmates with their schoolwork. Sometimes I help clean up city parks. I go to the old people’s home and do some cleaning for them once a month. So I’m pretty popular there. I often visit the children’s hospital to cheer the sick kids up. I read stories and sing songs for them. I am good with children. I also give money to charities to help people in trouble.
I think giving is receiving. Helping others is helping ourselves. If you are a person who like to give and help, then you will be also a person who often receive something from others. Do you agree with me?
