His organization provides food and clothes for p 81people and families in Miami and the neighboring areas.Joshua has r 82 thousands of dollars for his organization. He started to help the hungry when he was just 5. He was in his mother‟s car when they passed a beggar. Joshua asked his mother to stop so that he could give him $20. “It‟s my m 83 . I want to help him, Mum,” Joshua recalled. One year later, he created his organization with the help of his mother and Francine Hanna, a local businesswoman. “He just thought that was what he wanted to do,” his mother said. “And there was nothing that could s 84 him.”The organization now provides clothing, furniture and food for the poor people in America. At the same time, Joshua never misses a c 85 to encourage other people to follow what he did whether at church or on the streets. Earl Laird lost his job two years ago and hasn‟t managed to get a n86 one. Without money, he can‟t pay for the flat and has to live on the street. He depends on food from Joshua‟s Save the World. “Joshua is an angel (天使) from God,” he said.Joshua has won Miami‟s “Do the Right Thing” award and the “Kids Who Care” competition, which awarded him a $1,000 note. Even though he has a 87 done plenty, he said that hismission (使命)to provide for th e poor is far from finished. “I want to get a team together,” Joshua said. “I want my team to go out and give food to people who have a need for it.

So they p 82 shopping with those heavy baskets?Sylvan: (nods) I‟ve got a huge crowd of customers every day, b 83 none of them wants to use the cart.Fred: I don‟t understand. We invented the cart so that people don‟t need to carry a basket around the shop.Sylvan: (laughs) And so that they will buy more groceries!Fred: So why don‟t they like the shopping cart?Sylvan: Young men think that pushing a cart around makes them look w 84 and slow, and young women think it‟s unfashionable.Fred: Of course it isn‟t fashionable right now.

So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it‟s good enough for them, it‟s good enough for me!”Sylvan: E 87 .Fred: Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.Imagine this: romance is all around you, you have met and fallen in love with the most wonderful person.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(14分)Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into the class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random (任意的) kindness. His students did not c 81 understand the homework and didn‟t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.One week later, the students entered the classroom excitedly to share their s 82 . One student gave away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping an old man cleaning the house, and another student had been trying to f 83 a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework and wanted other people to be kind too. And luckily, the local businesses provided them with some money and materials. With the s 84 of them, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind―not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.Since then, kindness activities have been very p 85 in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform different kind acts, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or r 86 money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a b 87 place.松江区(C) 81. poor 82. raised 83. money 84. stop 85. chance 86. new 87.

However, instead of staying at home, Li Chunyuan, a Junior 1 student at No. 42 Middle School, went out with her classmates. They made posters by t 81 and called on people not to set off fireworks.The students did this in order to r 82 air pollution. Since January, many cities in China have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾).An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the m 83 problem with air pollution.Poor air has done harm to people’s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing C hildren’s Hospital shows that half of the p 84 had respiratory(呼吸道的) problems from Jan. 5 to 11.To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take a c t i o n.B e i j i n g a n n o u n c e d a p l a n t o u s e c l e a n f u e l i n g o v e r n m e n t vehicles and plant trees. It a 85 asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration.They suggested that cars with large emissions (排放) should be banned (禁止) and factories should be closely watched. Three students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise h 86 to fight the air pollution.“We hope more people will j 87 us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,” said Shi Yucong, one of the three students.2.奉贤How can I win a Nobel Prize for writing? Here’s the secret from this year’s winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was a 81 the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature (文学). She is known for her short stories about personal relationships of ordinary people, usually women.Munro was born in a farmer family in Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a lot of physical work a 82 a young girl.But she decided to be a w 83 when she was 12. She turns her hard childhood into great writing ideas.The story Dear Life, for example, opens with a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.Since she p 85 her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h 86 as a talented writer.“I’m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily (轻而易举地) at all, the ‘it’ being whatever I’m trying to do,” she said.Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain this te rribly clumsy (蹩脚的) writing,” she said. But it helps her sort out her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?If you do, you need to take control of your feelings. Getting angry with others can cause you to l 81 friends.Gray Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written a book named My Feelings Are Like Wild Animalsto help you control your feelings. The book tells how to stay cool when b 82 things happen.The book says that getting angry only makes problems w 83 . It can never make them better. “ Getting angry is not a natu ral way to act, ” the book says. “ It’s just a habit, like smoking. ”The book says you can control your feelings e 84 ... all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.The book gives many tips to help you if you get angry frequently. Here are the top three.● Keep a r 85 . Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry so often.● Ask your friends to s 86 talking to you when you get angry. Leave you alone. This will teach you not to be angry.● Do something d 87 . When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh.4.金山区Butterfly fairyThere was once a little girl. She had no family, and no one loved her. One day, when she was walking through a field, she noticed a small butterfly c 81 in a thorn bush(荆刺丛). The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into its body. The little girl c 82 let go the butterfly. Instead of going away, the butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.“For your kindness,” the butterfly fairy said to the little girl, “I will give you any w 83 you would like to have.”The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be h 84 .”The fairy said, “Very good.” Then she got close to the girl’s ear and said something to her in a low voice.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the village s 85 happy as she. Everyone asked the secret of her happiness. She would smile and only answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a butterfly fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old, the neighbours all came to visit her. They were a 86 that her secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “tell us what the fairy said.”The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, old or young, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, n 87 me. She said that always helping others would make my dream come true.”5.静安区Who is managing things in your town or city? Someone repairs a broken window in the library. Someone makes sure the traffic lights work. Someone pumps clean water into the pipes. Someone c 81 for the animals in the zoo.The people who do these jobs are part of the government. In most towns or cities, they work for the mayor (市长). The mayor works with other o 82 . They manage the city and make sure that the work gets done. They fix old things, like roads and bridges.

The mayor must do a good job. The office members must work hard, too. After all, in a few years, there will be another Election Day.2.普陀区Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, loved books. Like many lovers of books, theys 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary’s attention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers of mysteries spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three childrenin college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they used some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.In order to a 85 customers, Mary always had new ways. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered presents to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited many writers to d 86 their stories with the buyers to let them understand the stories better. Now after paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job we love may not go hand in hand with lots of money,” says Richard. “We do this to givean e 87 life to ourselves. This is not about making a lot of money. What matters is that we gain happiness from it.”3.徐汇区Most people know that intelligence quotient (IQ) is important, but EQ is probably more importantin daily life. When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friendsor parents, EQ helps us to c 81 well.EQ is shaped partly by genetics(基因). You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not.B 82 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i 83 our EQ. But what are they? Let’s take a look!1. Know yourselfMost people feel many different feelings t 84 the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l 85 . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.2. Manage yourselfWe all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s 86 count to 10. This way, you can calm down.3. Encourage yourselfWhen you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do—learnto encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and c 87 to move on.

They made posters byt 81 and called on people not to set off fireworks.The students did this in order to r 82 airpollution. Since January, many cities in China have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾).An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the m 83 problem with air pollution.Poor air has done harm to people‟s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Children‟s Hospital shows that half of the p 84 had respiratory (呼吸道的) problems from Jan. 5 to 11.To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action. Beijing announced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It a 85 asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration.They suggested that cars with large emissions(排放) should be banned(禁止) and factories should be closely watched.

Here‟s the secret from this year‟s winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was a 81 the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature (文学).

She turns her hardchildhood into great writing ideas.The story Dear Life, for example, openswith a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.Since she p85her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn‟t see h 86 as a talented writer.“I‟m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don‟t grasp it very readily (轻而易举地) at all, the …it‟ being whatever I‟m trying to do,” she said.Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain this terribly clumsy (蹩脚的) writing,” she said. But it helps her sort out her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”3.黄埔区● Do something d87 .

One day, when she was walking through afield, she noticed a small butterfly c 81 in a thornbush(荆刺丛). The more the butterfly tried to free itself,the deeper the thorns cut into its body. The little girl c82 let go the butterfly. Instead of going away, the butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.“For your kindness,” the butterfly fairy said to the little girl, “I will give you any w 83 you would like to have.”The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be h 84 .”The fairy said, “Very good.” Then she got close to the girl‟s ear and said something to her in a low voice.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the village s 85 happy as she. Everyone asked the secret of her happiness. She would smile and only answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a butterfly fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old, the neighbours all came to visit her. They were a 86 that her secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “tell us what the fairy said.”The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, old or young, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, n 87 me. She said that always helping others would make my dream come true.”5.静安区Who is managing things in your town or city? Someone repairs a broken window in the library.

Like many lovers of books, theys 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary‟s att ention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers of mysteries spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafénear their home. With three children in college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family‟s money to start a shop.

She alsoinvited many writers to d 86 their stories with the buyers tolet them understand the stories better. Now after paying taxes,business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Marytogether earn about $34,000.“The job we love may not go hand in hand with lots of money,” says Richard. “We do this to give an e87 life to ourselves. This is not about making a lot of money.

When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friends or parents, EQ helps us to c 81 well.EQ is shaped partly by genetics(基因). You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not.B 82 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i 83 our EQ. But what are they? Let‟s take a look!1. Know yourselfMost people feel many different feelings t 84 the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l 85 . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.2. Manage yourselfWe all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s 86 count to 10. This way, you can calm down.3. Encourage yourselfWhen you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do—learn to encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and c 87 to move on.
