Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on anyindex card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told methat she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitudecontinued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered asmile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a brightsmile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a littlelight into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeksI could not be there，，I asked her how it went.，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old “ Ha!”she saidman，and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a “ Of course，”she said. “ Oneseat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them andstarted a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I foundmyself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done thesmiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38. What is Mom's recipe for life?34. In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa.35. No，they didn't.36. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus.37. Proud.38. The attitude of considering everyone her friend.【东城二模】四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Then His Father raised Him up.” “And that’s how Easter 19 !”The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the schoolyard, Doris cried.

Last week, TEENS offered advice on how to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with those methods, why not try moving on to the next stage by using the following tips to build up your English vocabulary.Repeated encounters (反复遇见)The usual way of “memorizing” new material is through repeating it while it’s still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-term effect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word. Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.Spacing and reviewIt’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather thando it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributed practice”, where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.Use it or lose itPutting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-term memory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentences with new words and read them aloud remembered them better than those who learned the words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given the task of silently imagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So it might help if learners link words with a mental image.Mix it upLet’s face it — learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Try watching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the way they speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a star yourself.27. According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words is ________.A. simply repeating themB. learning the words silentlyC. reviewing them in one lessonD. reading English magazines regularly28. To make learning words more interesting, we can ________.A. try to become a famous starB. read new words on websitesC. make and upload our own English videosD. draw a picture on the paper with a new word29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to use new words.B. How to memorize new words.C. When to learn new words.D. What to write with new words.DClara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at themath problem in front of her desperately trying toremember how to solve it, but as she sits there her long listof homework plays over in her head, and she becomesoverwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking. Thenshe hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music, a wave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music. When the song ends, Clara’s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”. By playing music, students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn’t hear or play any music. When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone.Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen’s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with their courses, making a smarter generation.Now, I know you’re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?” Well, even though playing an instrument doesn’t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make itthrough their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of ‘relaxation’ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come.30.
