Alice’s mother died when she was five years old. Although her nine brother and sisters were loving and caring, they were no 31 for a mother’s love. The year was 1925, and life was hard. Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family was too poor to even 32 to give her a doll.
In December 1982, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby, getting ready for the Christmas season. One of my customers 33 me with a sample of her handlwork: beautiful handmade dolls. She was taking 34 for Christmas. I

I was cleaning out my sleigh before my trip this year and 45 this package that was supposed to be delivered on Decomber 25, 1925. The present inside has 46 , but I felt that you Love,
Santa Claus
My mother’s reaction was one of the most profound and deeply emotional 48 I have ever witnessed. She couldn’t speak but only clasped the doll she had 49 fifty-seven years to receive as tears of joy coursed down her checks. That doll, given by ―Santa,‖ made my mother the happiest ―50 ‖alive.

I’ve been reporting on extraordinary people for 25 years as a television journalist, but this small Oregon town and the man at its center, Woody Davis, stand alone in my memory.
When I read a newspaper clip about the community’s reaction to Woody’s declining health, I knew that this would be a special story for my CBS Evening News series, On the Road (the transcript of which is below).
On the Road: Giving thanks to the community angel
On a high ridge above the Columbia River, just down from heaven, you’ll find an angel here in this small town.
Woody Davis, 69, is kind of a jack-of-all-trades. And although he’s never made much money at it, be all accounts, he has earned his wings. Here is some of what people in town have said of him:
“You have to chase him down to pay him sometimes.‖
“He’s uncommon, he’s special, he’s a gift that this community has had all these years.‖
That is why folks in this small town east of Portland are now going out of their way to thank Woody for the thousands of good deeds he’s done for them over the past 50 years. He helped plow cars out of snow, chopped wood, repaired farm equipment, and more.
Recently, they all got together to cut and stack his firewood for winter. A couple of guys fixed up his old pickup. Someone even built him a beautiful wooden box and invited the whole town to sign it.
Clint Woody’son, sai d all the work his dad did for people has been repaid tenfold. ―Bill Gates could not come to Corbett and buy this. You can’t buy the love that people have poured out for Dad.‖
A few months ago, Woody was diagnosed with ALS—Lou Gehrig’s disease. Doctors tel l him he has about six months. The disease, which attacks the nervous system, is already making it hard for him to lift much of anything or even talk. But his attitude remains unaffected.
CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman has won nearly two dozen Emmy See the original story on Woody Davis—with video—at https://www.doczj.com/doc/9e18786888.html,.

Elephants have four distinct personalities that help their hard survive in the African bush, scientists have found.
With their grey skin, mournful eyes and slow plodding gait, you could be forgiven for thinking elephants are uniformly melancholy（忧郁的）creatures. But scientists have now discovered the largest living land animals have personalities to match their size.
In a new study of African elephants, researchers have identified four distinct characters that are prevalent with a herd –the leaders, the gentle giants, the playful rogues and the reliable plodders.（辛勤工作的人）
Each of the types has developed to help the giant mammals survive in their harsh environment and are almost unique in the animal kingdom, according to the scientists.
Professor Lee and her colleague Cynthia Moss studied a herd of elephants in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya known as the EB family – famous for their matriarch（女家长）Echo before she died in 2009.
Using data collected over 38 years of watching this group, the researchers analysed them for 26 types of behaviour and found four personality traits tended to come to the fore.
The strongest personality to emerge was that of the leader unlike other animals, where leadership tends to be won by the most dominant and aggressive individual, the elephants instead respected intelligence and problem solving in their leader.
The playful elephants tended to be younger but were more curious and active. Eudora, a 40-year-old female in the herd, seemed to be the most playful, consistently showing this trait through out her life while playfulness in some of the other elephants declined with age.
Gentle elephants, which included two 27-year-old females Eleanor and Eliot, caressed and rubbed against others more than the others.
Those that were reliable tended to be those that were most consistent at making good decisions, helped to care for infants in the herd and were calm when faced with threats. Echo and her youngest daughter Ebony seemed to be the most reliable.
Professor Lee said that elephants with these traits tended to be the most socially integrated in the group while those who tended to be less reliable and pushy were more likely to split from the herd.
55．From the passage we get to know that .
A．the researchers reached their conclusion by analyzing the date.

C．the scientists conducted the research by comparing elephants with other animals

B．those elephants which are caring and wise are most reliable
C．each elephant can be matched with only one of the four personalities
D．once becoming a member of a herd, an elephant will never split from it
58．In the EB family Echo and Eudora are .
A．mother and daughter B．the two oldest female
C．the most gentle ones D．leader and member

Is the world going to end right in the middle of the upcoming holiday season? While that wouldn't be good for retail sales, many people feel that Dec. 21, 2012 is a date that will linger in our minds forever
The ancient Mayan civilization calendar is believed to end this year on Dec. 21. And somehow, through word-of-mouth, movies, books, the Internet, etc., a cult-like（有邪教色彩的）belief system has sprung up in our culture suggesting any number of awful things will take place on that date.
But where did all of these rumors actually start?
Many believe it goes back thousands of years to the ancient Sumerian culture who reportedly discovered a twelfth planet they called Nibiru -- aka Planet X -- which was predicted to have a close encounter with Earth in 2003.
When that didn't happen, a new Doomsday was moved to December 2012.
On the other hand, there are some who believe the December date heralds not doom and gloom, but a more positive transformative experience for Earth and its inhabitants. It all sound rather sletchy, especially to a scientist.
"It's all a hoax, and it's based on absolutely no factual information. None of the things that are supposed to happen are real, and so it's kind of hard to even have a scientific discussion about what they're worried about because there's no science there," said David Morrison, a leading space scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center for Study of Life in the Universe at the SETI Institute in California.
SETI scientists are involved with the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, they also want to quiet any fears the public has about the alleged Doomsday. To that end, Morrison created a special Doomsday 2012 Fact Sheet in September that's posted on both SETI and NASA websites.
When Morrison was researching information for his Doomsday fact sheet, he didn't find anything that confirmed that the Mayans left us any dire predictions.
"The Maya scholars I've talked to say flat out they did not make any such predictions. The question then is does their calendar end? Well, that's not true, either, because there are written references to dates that are hundreds of years in the future, which indicates the calendar must keep going," he said. "So, this is not a Maya thing -- they don't think anything bad is going to happen.‖59．Why does the date Dec, 21, 2012 linger in many people’s minds forever?
A．It is promoted by businesses as a retell sales festival.
B．It is proved by the scientists to be the end of the earth.
C．It is regarded by many people as a doomsday.
D．It is recorded by historians as the end of the Mayan civilization.
60．According to many people, the rumors of the doomsday came from .
A．Mayan culture B．Sumerian culture
C．a discovery of a twelfth star D．an ancient legend about summer
61．The underlined word ―sketchy‖ in the sixth paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A．incomplete B．thorough C．convincing D．flexible 62．According to the Doomsday 2012 Fact Sheet created by Morrison, .
A．Few people worry about whether they will survive December 21
B．Mayans’ predictions are meaningful if you are a pessimist
C．the Maya calendar will carry on even If something bad happens
D．no faithful predictions were given by the Mayans
D
Teens who play mature-rated risk-glorifying（崇尚冒险的）video games may be more likely than those who don’t to become reckless drivers who experience increases in automobile accidents, police stops and willingness to drink and drive, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association. "Most parents would probably be disturbed to learn that we observed that this type of game play was more strongly associated with teen drivers being pulled over by the police than their parenting practices," said study lead author Jay G. Hull, PhD, of Dartmouth College. "With motor vehicle accidents the No. 1 cause of adolescent deaths, popular games that increase reckless driving may constitute even more of a public health issue than the widely touted association of video games and aggression."
Researchers conducted a longitudinal study involving more than 5,000 U.S. teenagers who answered a series of questions over four years in four waves of telephone interviews. The findings were published online in APA's journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture.
Fifty percent of the teens reported in the first interview that their parents allowed them to play mature-rated games and among those, 32 percent said they had played Spiderman II, 12 percent had played Manhunt and 58 percent had played Grand Theft Auto III. Playing video games such as Grand Theft Auto III, Manhunt and Spiderman II was associated with increases in sensation seeking, rebelliousness and self-reported risky driving, the study said. Higher rankings in sensation seeking(追求感官刺激) rebelliousness（叛逆性）were directly linked to risky driving habits, automobile accidents, being stopped by police and a willingness to drink and drive, according to the analysis.
Between the second and third interviews, teens who said they had been pulled over by the police increased from 11 percent to 21 percent; those who said they had a car accident went from 8 percent to 14 percent. In the third interview, when the teens were about 16 years old, 25 percent said "yes" when asked if they engaged in any unsafe driving habits. In the final interview when the teens were about 18, 90 percent said "yes" to at least one of the same risky driving habits: 78 percent admitted to speeding; 26 percent to tailgating; 23 percent to failure to yield; 25 percent to weaving in and out of traffic; 20 percent to running red lights; 19 percent to ignoring stop signs;
13 percent to crossing a double line; 71 percent to speeding through yellow lights; and 27 percent to not using a seatbelt.
63．We can learn from the words of the lead author Jay G. Hull that .
A．teenagers’ careless driving has become a public health issue
B．motor vehicle accidents have caused the most adolescent deaths
C．teen drivers are more likely to be pulled over by the police than their parents
D．the public mainly focus on the aggressive behaviors of teens brought about by games 64．The researchers conducted the study involving more than 5,000 teenagers by .
A．telephoning the teen interviews during four years
B．handing out and collecting questionnaires among them
C．organizing four online interviews among the teenagers
D．sending out volunteers to interview the teenagers face to face
65．Game such as Grand Theft Auto III affect the teens in the way that they may .
A．cause the teenagers to tend to be heavy drinkers
B．teach the teenagers some driving skills which are not practical in reality
C．arouse rebelliousness of teenagers so that they will have friction with their parents
D．encourage sensation seeking which will push teens to develop risky driving habits 66．Compared with the third interview, in the fourth interview the number of teens who admitted engaging in unsafe driving habits increased by .
A．6% B．10% C．25% D．65%

Whether MSN will retreat from the Chinese market has been a hot topic among remaining MSN users these days, though Microsoft has made it clear through different public statements that its global MSN service will be replaced by Skype by the first quarter of next year, except in the Chinese mainland. But this doesn't abate local people's anxiety toward the upcoming changes. Even if the service will continue in this market, will it still work effectively in connecting people in other regions where MSN is no longer in service?
I. Success of yesterday
MSN officially started its business in China in July 2004, and the Chinese version was released in May the following year. When MSN first set foot in china, it was highly acclaimed by local young people, especially while-collar workers. Compared with QQ, MSN was believed more formal. MSN did win many people's hearts thanks to its various advanced user experiences. "It is the earliest IM (instant messaging) software, and its interface looks faddish and friendly," said Wang, " Guanxiong, an IT manager. ―besides, its other functions like expressive icons, voice-enabled chatting, and video conferences were very innovative and catered to the market." II．
Now seven years after MSN entered the Chinese market, its influence cannot be compared with the success it had then. Fading out of MSN and turning to others like QQ, facebook and Weibo is becoming a trend. "Many of my friends don't actually log into MSN anymore," said Lu, "their account hasn't been updated for a long time."
With an ever-increasing choice of IM providers on the Internet today, the worsening experience on MSN is the main reason users are leaving. "Virus website links, junk ads, and unstable logging are really annoying," said Lu, adding that she now preferred QQ and Weibo. QQ improved its customer products all along, while MSN remained comparatively static.（静止的）For example, the commonly-used functions like "offline document transmitting" and "sectional drawing" in QQ are still not available on MSN.
III. Nostalgia （怀旧）? It's only natural
With the news that MSN will be faded out, netizens poured out their nostalgic feelings online.
67．The underlined word ―abate‖ in the first paragraph means .
A．disguise B．reduce C．express D．increase 68．According to the text, MSN used to be the first choice of the local young people because of its advanced user experiences, including .
a. stylish interface
b. sectional drawing
c. expressive icons
d. video conferences
e. offine document transmitting
A．a, b, c B．b, d, c C．a, c, d D．b, c, e
69．Which of the following phrases can summarize the main point of Par II?
A．Decreasing influence B．Diveres selection
C．Healthy competition D．Endless challenge
70．The author’s attitude towards the issue of ―MSN’s retreat from the Chinese market‖is .
A．sorrowful B．subjective C．regretful D．neutral

Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them.

On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually zxxkwhen parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket. The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.

六安一中2013届高三年级第一次月考 语文试卷 时间：150分钟分值：150分 第I卷阅读题（共66分） 一、论述类文本阅读（9分） 阅读下面的文字，完成1~3题。 舜文化 ①《尚书》云：?德自舜明。?《史记》载：?天下明德皆自虞帝(虞舜)始。?舜帝是?德?的化身，简言之，舜文化就是舜帝身体力行所创造的道德文化，它是一种原生性的道德本体文化。因此，舜帝是中国道德文化的鼻祖。 ②舜所处的时代，是中国社会发展的转折时期。在这个时期，东夷集团与华夏集团的融合已经完成，亦即炎、黄民族的融合已经完成，在部落联盟的体制沿袭了数千年后，国家已经初步形成；作为个体的人，也已经进入了由部落联盟——诸侯国组合起来的?古国?大社会。因此，在社会生产之中，需要有一种不同于以往的关系和双方都能接受和遵守的准则，才能维护诸侯国之间和人与人之间的团结与和谐。作为诸侯国联盟首领的舜，正是适应了这一社会发展的需要，身体力行地创造、想方设法地推行了这些准则，并使整个社会都遵守这个?道德?规范，成为人类由文明产生阶段进入文明发展阶段的重要标志。 ③文化的发展具有历史的继承性。我们说孔子是儒文化的创始人，然而，孔子的功绩在于集文化之大成；儒家文化实际上只是孔子对舜文化的继承和弘扬；纵使是儒文化的核心内容之?仁?，也只是孔子在总结商周文化基础之上的画龙点睛。儒学三重道德——人伦道德、社会道德、宇宙道德的源头来自于舜帝的道德文化。楚简中的《唐虞之道》写道：?爱亲忘贤，仁而未义也；尊贤遗亲，义而未仁也……爱亲尊贤，虞舜其人也。?由此可以证实，儒家三重道德的基本构架就是发轫于舜帝所创建的道德文化。 ④各民族的文化都以本民族的特有形式发展起来，形成本民族的传统。舜文化产生在炎、黄民族融合之后，所以，它代表的是炎黄子孙的共同利益，这也是舜文化得以继承和不断弘扬的原因。舜帝虽然居?三皇五帝?之末，但是，舜帝开创了?德治?文明的崭新时代，具有里程碑的作用和历史意义。 ⑤以农耕文化为内涵的炎帝文化，以政体文化为内涵的黄帝文化，以道德文化为内涵的舜帝文化，这是中华文化的三块里程碑。农耕文化、政体文化、道德文化是中华远古文化的源头。又特别以舜文化为博大精深，它涵盖了社会、自然两大学科，其内容包括了政治、经济、军事、教育、文艺、民族关系等各个领域。舜文化是以儒家文化为核心的中华民族传统道德文化的源头。唐代著名思想家韩愈在他的《原道》一文中梳理儒家的传授关系时说，是?舜以是传之禹，禹以是传之汤。汤以是传之文武周公，文武周公以是传之孔子，孔子传之孟轲?。孔孟传之于后人。 ⑥中华传统文化之根脉是舜文化。舜文化是儒家道德价值之根脉。从这个意义上说，没有
