21、Clara Daly was seated on the flight to Beijing when an air hostess spoke over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know sign language?”

Clara, 15, pressed the call button. The air hostess came by and explained the situation. A passenger, who was blind and deaf, seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying sign language for the past year and knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the seat of Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed，“How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.

“He doesn’t need anything. He is lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future. Even though Cook couldn’t see her, Clara looked attentively at his face with kindness. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. He said he was very excited to have someone he could speak to and that it was the best trip he’d ever had.

All the passengers on the board said that Clara was an angel.

【1】What happened on the flight to Beijing?

A．A disabled person needed help.

B．A passenger suddenly got sick.

C．Clara spoke over the loudspeaker.

D．The air hostess became blind.

【2】Why did Clara talk about her plans for the future?

A．Because the flight attendant asked her to do so.

B．Because Cook expected to understand teenagers better.

C．Because she needed topics to go on talking with Cook.

D．Because she wanted to show her ambition for the future.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Clara?

A．Warm-hearted and cautious.

B．Caring and thoughtful.

C．Generous and amazing.

D．Ambitious and attentive.

【4】The passage is mainly written to ______________.

22、We all know that staying healthy is important. So here is another health tip: Empathy, which refers to the ability to share another person’s feelings and emotions as if they were your own. How can this be? Isn’t empathy about focusing on the other person? 【1】?

Empathy helps you survive

Empathy can save your life, which certainly is good for your health! 【2】. If someone is screaming and running for you to follow, or even has a look of terror on their face, you pick up their fear and immediately tune in to the situation. That can be the moment when you run away from a dangerous situation.

Empathy connects you to others

【3】. While it may be centered on figuring out what is going on for others, in that process, you nurture the important human ability to connect better with others, And being connected to others is good for your well-being.

【4】

Stress may be brought on by many different things. Over periods of time, this state of pressure becomes unhealthy. When you fully engage in empathy, you draw on skills for emotion regulation (调节). In doing so, you are also controlling emotions that can be stressful.

Empathy guides your moral code of conduct

Perhaps larger than almost everything is how you treat others and expect to be treated. 【5】. When you create rules that make you safe, protect you from those acting badly, and take care of those less fortunate, you are using empathy to guide those codes.

A．Empathy can lower your stress

B．How does practicing empathy benefit you

C．Empathy encourages you to show your emotions

D．How can empathy help you behave well in a connected world

E．The ability to read others helps you make decisions in your favor

F．Empathy connects you to other people in deep and meaningful ways

G．Empathy helps you identify what you consider to be acceptable behavior

23、On Thanksgiving, even the most thoughtful children may not offer much gratitude for the gifts they received. And you'd be wise not to expect it. Encouraging children to write down events that made them grateful can begin a habit that lasts a lifetime. But gratitude for the endless stuff we buy them? All the research I've done has convinced me that it's not going to happen.

In one study, Yale's professor Yarrow Dunham found that 4-to-8-year-old kids responded differently when given a gift they thought they earned versus one that was granted out of simple generosity. He called the earned gift an “exchange relationship”. The children were happy for the gift but didn't experience the deeper gratitude that might also make them more generous to others. The gift given for no reason, however, had a different emotional impact and the children showed thanks by being more likely to share candies they received in a follow-up game.

As parents, we don't consider our holiday gifts an “exchange relationship” since we know the time, money, and effort we put into buying them. But kids have a different view. One mom said that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But that's what moms do, isn't it?” He wasn't being rude—just practical.

Asking our children to be grateful for gifts is sending the wrong message, anyway. Cornell psychology professor Tom Gilovich found that people are more likely to be grateful for experiences than for material possessions. The things that really matter aren't on sale at a department store. A family dinner, a songfest around the fireplace, or even a hike in the woods creates a spirit of gratitude that outlasts even the nicest computer game.

【1】Children may not offer much gratitude for the gifts they received, which the author thinks is ______ .

A．confusing

B．badly-behaved

C．annoying

D．unsurprising

【2】Which of the following can earn you a kid's gratitude to a greater degree?

A．Expensive gifts.

B．Simple generosity.

C．Birthday presents.

D．Exchange relationship.

【3】The 16-year-old boy didn't thank his mom for the cellphone because ______ .

A．his mom put little love into buying it

B．he had been spoiled by his loving parents

C．he thought it is a mom's duty to do that

D．his mom failed to consider it an “exchange relationship”

【4】According to Gilovich, gratitude can be better aroused by ______ .

A．pleasant emotional experiences

B．the best games

C．proper text messages

D．a good family environment

24、According to the National Federation of the Blind, fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million people who are legally blind in the U.S. are braille readers. But one woman has made a difference in their lives and my son's life, too.

35 years ago, my son, Jared, was born blind. Fortunately, I learned about a life-changing organization when Jared's teacher introduced us to Seedlings Braille Books for Children. It was founded by Debra Bonde, who helped blind children all over the world.

A shy woman, Debra just wanted to find a volunteer job she could do without having to talk to anyone. So, she signed up for a braille transcription(转录)class in the hope of translating books into braille in the basement of her Detroit home.

Debra began transcribing popular children's books, printing them on a braille printer and selling them for just the cost of the paper.

Word spread among parents and teachers of blind children, and demand grew for more of her books. Friends helped her to form a nonprofit organization so she could start getting grants（拨款）and donations to help with production costs. She named it Seedlings Braille Books for Children because she believes that if you give a child a book, the love for reading will grow. Seedlings has produced 600,000 books across the world so far. They give half of their books away for free. The other half are sold for an average price of only $10 each, about half the cost of producing them.

As a mother, I appreciated that Seedlings provided "typical" experiences for Jared in school. Since books from Seedlings were affordable, it was possible to have a home library. Without the childhood skills Seedlings provided to Jared, he would not have a job as a software engineer now.

【1】How did the author get to know Seedlings Braille Books for Children?

A．From Jared's teacher.

B．From the library.

C．From her friend.

D．From other parents.

【2】Why did Debra sign up for a braille transcription class?

A．To make a living.

B．To read more braille books.

C．To do volunteer work alone.

D．To start a nonprofit organization.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Debra Bonde?

A．Talented and social.

B．Shy and generous.

C．Helpful and brave.

D．Mild and neat.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The author lived an easy and rich life.

B．Jared got along well with all his classmates.

C．The author attached importance to her son's reading.

D．Jared will spread the skills he learned during his childhood.
