On the way, I saw a busker. This was quite 38 : there was always someone to busk(卖艺) near the office buildings during lunch.39 I walked past him, holding some coins in my hand, I thought to myself 40 he was only going to use the money to feed his 41 to drugs or alcohol. He looked like that type—young and ragged(衣衫褴褛的). Then I 42 , rather shocked at myself. What was I going to 43 the money on? I only was going to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate. I realized I had no rights to place myself 44 him just because he was busking.I dropped all the 45 into his hat and he smiled at me. I 46 for a while and expected something more to 47 from that moment. I wanted a natural high or even a feeling of happiness, but 48 happened. So then I smiled and walked off, remembering why I never did things like that. It was a 49 of time.After work as I walked to the train station, I saw the busker 50 the hat and empty the money into a small bag. Then he walked over to a counter and 51 the entire contents into a tin collecting for a bushfire appeal(山火援助).He was busking for charity! I realized just how 52 I had been. He took my money and donated it 53 charity for me! I suddenly realized how 54 it was to do the same myself.

When it became lighter, I decided to brave the drizzle to get my car, which was parked at my office three streets away.My friends argued that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant then. I assured them that I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me but I insisted that she stayed with another friend who needed help with her baby.I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the traffic junction (交叉路口)，a car stopped and the passenger got off with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right beside me and told me he would accompany me to my destination. I was very embarrassed and declined, but he was very insistent.During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was wet. When we got to the car-park, I thanked him and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian construction workers walking in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the construction site near my estate, which was a long walk in. I went out and passed them an umbrella. They were taken aback by my gesture, and I told them they should take the umbrella and keep it. They were very grateful and like me, probably wondered why a stranger was offering such kindness.56. Why didn’t my friends allow me to go and get my car?A. Because it was raining heavily.B. Because it was getting dark.C. Because my friend needed my help.D. Because I was seven months pregnant.57. What happened at the traffic junction?A. I started making my way to the car.B.

But the 57-year-old said he did not have high expectations for winning. ―Actually, I thought I only had a slim chance to win a prize awarded to one person in the world annually.Mo, who was born into a farmer’s family in a village and dropped out of school at the age of 12, started reading books in a mill (磨坊) of his house using the light of an oil lamp. ―In my childhood, there were only a few books available in my village. I had to try every means to find a book to read. I traded books with others and even sold the mill and reaped (收割) wheat for others in exchange for books,‖he said. ―When I finished reading all the books available in villages around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world. With no more books at hand, I even started reading a Chinese dictionary. I read it so many times that I even found mistakes in it.‖―With more means available to pass one’s spare time now, such as chatting online and listening to music, one’s reading time will definitely end up shorter,‖ Mo said.Mo’s winning Nobel Literature Prize has aroused worldwide interested in reading his works, which have recently become bestsellers. However, Mo said he did not expect his Nobel Prize in Literature to boost Chinese people’s reading habits despite the focus his winning has created. ―I think the mania (狂热) will end in one month, maybe even sooner and then everything will be back to normal,‖ said the Nobel laureate (获奖者).60. Which might NOT be true about Mo Yan winning the Nobel Literature Prize?A. Chinese contemporary literature will attract worldwide attention.B. Many other people will become interested in Mo Yan’s works.C. The exclusive interview will continue over a long period of time.D. The result of his winning the prize will play a positive role in the future?61. It can be learned from the 4th paragraph that ___________.A. Mo Yan was well educated in his childhoodB. Mo Yan had the chance to read all different kinds of booksC. Mo Yan enjoyed finding mistakes in Chinese dictionariesD. Mo Yan got very enthusiastic about reading62. The underlined word ―boost‖ most probably means __________ in meaning.A. disturbB. increaseC. discourageD. violate63. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news reportB. A fashion magazineC. A science textbookD. A museum guideCAs a traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture used to be unusual to foreign people. But now in the US, it is becoming more and more popular.To American people, choosing acupuncture is a brave choice but a potentially fast cure. Many patients turn to acupuncture when traditional western treatment fails to cure them.Patient Nancy Cooper said, “I’ve had pain, pain in my neck, pain in my shoulders, which probably comes from stress. And I’ve tried physical therapy, but that didn’t work. In fact it made it worse. Acupuncture is what I had here and I’m immediately better.‖Acupuncture is winning American people’s hearts for another reason. That is, a new and healthier life style. US acupuncturist Song Jun said, ―More and more Americans are pursuing a natural lifestyle. To keep fit, they are avoiding medicine and operations and choosing acupuncture, massage, Chinese medicine and chiropractic (脊椎按摩疗法). Such treatment are very popular in the United States right now.‖Acupuncture was first introduced into America by journalist James Reston, who escaped his operation pain with the help of acupuncture. Chinese medicine then became a hit in the United States. An act was drafted in 2009 to include acupuncture in America’s medicare reform. Certain US insurance companies have already been paying for acupuncture since June. It means a good start for acupuncture in the US as it’s on the way toward being accepted by the country’s medicare system.Wu Guoqing, former vice president of California Acupuncture Committee, said, ―United States actually is spending almost as much money now an alternative medicine as to traditional medicine. Some people want to find something else, but perhaps they don’t want to use drugs, or they don’t want to use certain types of traditional medicines. So acupuncture and herbs are very important for them.‖If the act is passed, it will enable 52 million senior US citizens to enjoy free acupuncture by the year 2014. The US government will also benefit from its inexpensive casts.64. Who first brought in acupuncture into the United States?A. Song JunB. Nancy CooperC. James RestonD. Wu Guoqing65. Which of the following is NOT true about Chinese acupuncture?A. It has a positive effect upon some patients.B. It provided a new and healthy lifestyle for Americans.C. It has been included in American’s medicare system.D. It has attracted the US government’s attention.66. The best title for the passage might be ___________.A. Pain and stress in patientsB.

It is true that eating healthy is expensive, but there are tricks to spare your savings account. Here are some ways we eat more healthy while keeping it cheap.Switch to Tap Water. Check the price of water on your tap water bill. Now check the price of bottled water. Quite a difference, isn’t it? So why not give up the soda and drink water?Eat Eggs. Eggs are full of vitamins, high in proteins but low in price. Buy Tuna(金枪鱼) Cans. Canned tuna is cheap and contains as much protein as meat.Buy Ordinary Food. The box of ordinary food might be less attractive, but it’s certainly more attractive to your wallet. On the contrary, brand-name food is always more expensive.Go to One Grocery Store. This grocery store is cheaper for meat, that grocery store is cheaper for vegetables, another grocery store is cheaper for fish… How many grocery stores are you going to, trying to find the cheapest food? Stop losing a day shopping. Go to a big grocery store near your place. It hasn’t the lowest price for all foods, but it saves your time and fuel.Eat Less.It is obvious that the less you eat, the lower your grocery bill is. If you’re over-weight, go on a diet. Your health and bank account will thank you.Don’t Buy Junk Food.Stop buying anything that comes out of a box. It’s expensive, what’s worse, it’s harmful to your health!From above we can see that all of us can keep a balance between eating healthy and keeping it cheap as long as we pay attention to some tricks.（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，根据上下文用所给词的正确形式填空，使句子完整。
