I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.＂Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?＂Mama asked calmly.＂No,＂I said.＂We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,＂she explained.When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. ＂Hi. You want to play dolls with me?＂she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, ＂Sure.＂Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill(逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget. 26.

To value what you take for granted.B. To play with children is fun.C. To love others is to love yourself.D. To do as what your parents do.BI think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral(中立的), or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.The poison argument(毒性的争论) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.31. How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?A. Something even without legs.B. Something not popular among people.C. A person who is neutral.D. A person who cares about nothing.32.

With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room. It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride.When the elevator doors open, stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in. Even if you are in a hurry, it’s impolite to push someone s o that you can get into an elevator.Don’t stare at(盯着看) people or stand too close. Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable.If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator, say ＂Excuse me, please ＂or ＂I’m sorry ＂rather than just push them out of the way. Others will think you’re welcome if you show some politeness.If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮), ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them. This is considered to be polite.In case of emergency(紧急情况), follow the instructions written inside the elevator and try to keep others calm.36. The elevator was invented ________.
