Once a month, I volunteer at a meal center to help serve food to people who are in need. Despite the many other things that I need to do, I really look forward to meeting and serving these people, even if only briefly. Although my motivation begins with wanting to help others and be grateful for what have been given, it is joy that helps bring me back when I am very busy. I first noticed this some time ago: at the end of our shift (轮班), after the kitchen and dining room have been cleaned up, I would experience a lightness of being.

A few years ago, as I was researching how kindness affected health, I came to learn that volunteerism was associated with a markedly lower risk of dying. One recent and large European study found that self-reported health scores were apparently better in volunteers than non-volunteers. Depending on the study, the decrease in death rates ranged between 20 to 60 percent or so.

How could volunteering decrease the risk of death? There are several factors at play. The first, and most primary, is decreased symptoms of stress and uplifted mood. Secondly, people who volunteer regularly also make more effort to take care of themselves. Finally, people who volunteer may be more physically active. Volunteers have an obvious increase in walking each day compared to those who did not volunteer.

To try to tie this together, volunteering likely exerts (施加) its positive health effects by con-neeting people to others and to an activity that they find meaningful. Achieving connection, purpose and meaning is critical to reducing stresses of life-particularly loneliness. Since stress is a major cause of disease, especially heart disease, the ability to satisfy the need for connection, purpose, and meaning can bring about beneficial changes for people. And when there is purpose and we are con neeted to others, we take care of ourselves.

4. How does the author feel about doing a volunteer job?

A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Tired. D. Annoyed.

5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The positive health scores of volunteers.

B. The relationship between kindness and health.

C. Volunteerism’s positive effect on volunteers’ health.

D. A study on volunteerism in some European countries.

6. What does the underlined word “critical” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Negative. B. Different. C. Contrary. D. Important.

Faming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every day while working the fields on the family farm in Volga.

“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.

Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.

“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.

And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.

“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.

The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.

7. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?

A. Because he grew up on the farm.

B. Because he was affected by his father.

C. Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.

D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.

8. What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.

B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.

C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.

D. Scott and David own their own farms now.

9. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The VariderWals have strict family rules.

B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local.

C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school.

D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者).

10. What's the best title of the passage?

A. A Faming Family.

B. A Successful Farmer.

C The Agricultural 'Tradition.

D. The Agricultural Generation.

A boy named Ali had a large and harmonious family, happily living with his sisters, parents and grandmother. His grandmother loved everyone a lot and was respected by all family members. she was very old, yet sometimes she would recall things from her past and share with them. Sometimes they would believe her but at other times they would think that Granny might be mixing up the facts due to her old age.

One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织)，Granny remembered something and she couldn't contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son-Ali's father She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date but do you know today is the day when I was born.”

She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn't pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son's reaction, Granny then went to Ali's mother and Ali's sister, but like Ali's father, nobody believed her.

Disheartened, she went and sat in the terrace (庭院).When Ali returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she revealed what was troubling her-nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!

After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali's friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.

My opinion on smartphone addiction among teenagers

With the development of apps, young people have become more dependent on smartphones. The overuse of phones is likely to cause problems between teenagers and their parents. Here is my opinion on how to deal with such conflicts caused by phone addiction.

First of all, it is important and necessary for us to talk with our parents and set rules on how to use our phones. Once reached, the agreement has to be strictly executed. Only in this way can we prevent any unpleasantness from happening. Being more active and participating in more activities will also help reduce our reliance on phones. Last but not least, we can resort to professionals for an effective approach to free us from our phone dependence, if necessary.

No matter what approach we use, we have to realize that it is our parents who we should always trust and depend on in life.

52【答案】His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned. With Ali acting as the director, stage designer and host, preparation for a performance stage was soon finished. Afterwards, a series of eye-catching performances, ranging from dancing, crosstalk, acrobatics and magic tricks were given by Ali's friends. By this time, the audience had expanded from granny to Ali's whole family, all of whom gave thunderous applause to the carefully staged shows. Towards the end, a huge banner saying 'Happy Birthday, granny!' was put up on the central stage, which pushed the warm and loving atmosphere to its peak.

Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes. “For all my life, I have… never spent… my birthday with so many… relatives and… lovely kids. Thank you, Ali and all of you kids.” Granny stammered, choking up with gratitude and bliss. “Never mind, granny!” Ali grinned, knowing deep down that the real reason for granny's tears was not the party itself, but love, care and trust from her family members, which she believed were gone when they reacted indifferently to her 'made-up' birthday.
