2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练16（实验班）I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who look ed to be in her 60s. When it was herturn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 31 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 t he holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heart 34 . I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to 35 her groceries or ask for her husband’s situation ?36 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returni ng her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse th at I thought might help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an37 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life38 .My heart beat faster as I 39 the woman. “Excuse me,” I sai d, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what y ou said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really 40 time right now. I’m so sorry, but I’d like to give you s omething.”I took a small card out of my purse and 41 it to her.When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began t o cry. And through her 42 , she said, “Y ou have no idea how much this 43 to me.”I was a little 44 by her reply. Having never done anything lik e this before, I didn’t know what kind of 45 I might receive. All I could think to respond was, “Oh! Would it be OK to give y ou a 46 ?”After we hugged 47 , I walked back to my car — and began to cry too.The words on the card?“You Matter.”A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 48for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a 49 glow (喜悦) spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and or dered my own box of You Matter cards and started 50 them .31.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with chi pmunks — small American animals similar to squirrels with bl ack lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent si x months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the park’s phone and radio system from a room in the baseme nt.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the susp ended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the oppo site direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tail s, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a s hadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,” a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.”After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accusto med to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the w orkplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviorsprovided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other acro ss our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light pa nels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phon e as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just intime to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the d esk. I picked up the phone, preparing to explain the crash, the scream, the dropped phone, and the laughing to the listenerwho was about to visit the park.“I’m sorry, but you’re not going to believe what just happened.”I don’t think he did.1.

In their study published o n Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found th at rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on th eir backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they disco vered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made t his feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickle d to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain w here tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump li ke rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly ground-breaking,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwest ern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of e motion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of ani mal ticklin g. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the lat e 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experi encing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats rep eatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab wher e Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds w hile playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab sai d, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that thos e cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous,” said Daniel O’Co nnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studie s touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different whenyou are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).”6. What contributed to humans’ being ticklish according to Aristotle?A. Their special skin.B. Their social pleasure.C.

My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in a nd he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Ni ne months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me. The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two y ears when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's f ace was inches from mine.“What are you doing?” I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He rea ched down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,” he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been be side me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confiden t woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced（刺穿） my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richar d how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15. When the author looked into the mirror, she found herself ______.A. beautifulB. confidentC. untidyD. unusual16. Why did the author’s mother and her two children have to move?A. Because their house was too small.B. Because they we re not well treated by the husband.C. Because they were expecting another baby.D. Because her mother’s husband wanted them to move.17.

It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the author’s husband had a positive influence on her lifeB. the author played an important part in the changeC. they have been married for 23 yearsD. the author’s hu sband has gained some weight19.
