A

While I was waiting outside my wife’s office building for her to get out of work, I saw a bum（流浪乞丐） coming my way.

“I hope he won’t ask me for any money,” I thought.

He came and sat in front of the bus stop. After a few minutes he spoke. “That’s a very pretty car,” he said. He was in rags, but he had an air of dignity（尊严） about him.

I gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car.

He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected asking for money never came. As the silence between us widened, it seemed that voice inside me said, “Ask him if he needs any help.”

“Do you need any help?” I asked.

He answered in three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women, and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements. I expected nothing but an outstretched(伸出的) dirty hand from him, but he said three words that shocked me.

“Don’t we all?” he said.

I was feeling high, successful and important above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a shot.

Don’t we all?

I needed help. Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for a bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, you need help, too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.

Maybe god looked down, called an angel, dressed him like a bum, and then said, “Go to that man cleaning the car. That man needs help.”

21. At the sight of the bum, the writer __________.

A. asked him if he needed any help B. hoped to give the bum some money

C. wished the bum not to ask him for money D. pretended to be cleaning his car

22. The underlined part in the passage means”_______”.

A. I thought I was better in any way than the bum

B. I felt the bum was as good in some ways as I am

C. I felt I liked the bum very much D. I thought I should respect the bum

23. What does the story mainly tell us?

A. Those who are poor are in greater need of help.

B. Anybody should give help to others.

C. Poor as a man may be, he has dignity.

D. Whatever we are, we need help.

B

School holidays don’t have to mean that your child puts their learning on hold while they’re away from the classroom. In fact, educational days out can be the most fun way to learn—plus it gives you the chance to explore new places and subjects with your kids, and spend quality time together.

Before you plan where you’ll go and what you’ll do, find out what your child would like to do. Ask what’s been enjoyable during the school year? What would they like to discover more about?

Next, find a place to visit that offers learning opportunities around the interests you have come up with. Don’t worry about your child learning less about a subject. If you find a day out that your child is interested in, the learning will come naturally.

Another good way forward is to ‘theme’ the school holiday. Often, there are too many choices for where to go and what to do during school breaks. To help you focus, decide to concentrate on a subject, say, nature or animals. You can borrow library books that are related to the theme and provide you with activities ahead of your day out. For example, you might decide to theme a holiday around sea creatures, so you might borrow books on fish from the library ahead of a day out at an aquarium.

Your child will learn a lot more information from a day out if it’s recorded, either at the time or afterwards. It could be by taking some photographs together, or maybe your child could fill in a kid’s activity sheet. Or perhaps your child would rather sit down the next day and draw a picture of their favourite part of the outing.

24. The passage is intended for______.

A. teachers B. children C. parents D. tourists

25. Before planning the day out, the first consideration should be the child’s ______.

A. interest B. safety C. personality D. age

26. What does the underlined word “aquarium” mean? _____.

A. a shelter where wild animals can be rescued

B. a tank where fish and sea creatures are kept

C. a library where readers can borrow books

D. a net-bar where students can surf the Internet

C

Imagine you have had a fight with your best friend. It’s a stupid fight, something you’ll both get over. But right now you’re upset. When you walk in the door. your mom asks what’s wrong. How are you most likely to respond?

Tell your mom what happened and have a long, comforting talk about it. Or tell your mom, “Everything is fine.” and head to the freezer for the ice cream. But can that really help you feel better—or just make you feel sickeningly full?

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger. We’ve all been there, finishing a whole bag of chips out of boredom or drowning cookie after cookie while cramming for a test. But when done a lot—especially without realizing it—emotional eating can affect weight, health , and overall well-being（幸福）.

One of the biggest secrets about emotional eating is that it’s encouraged by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they are stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too.

We all have our own comfort foods. Interestingly, they may vary according to moods. One study found that happy people seem to want to eat things like pizza, while sad people prefer ice cream and cookies. Bored people need salty, crunchy things, like chips.

This brings up a curious question: Does no one take comfort in carrots and celery sticks? Researchers are looking into that, too. What they’re finding is that high-fat foods, like ice cream, may activate(激活) certain chemicals in the body that create a sense of satisfaction. This almost addictive(使人上瘾的)quality may actually make you reach for these foods again when feeling upset.

Managing emotional eating means finding other ways to deal with the situations and feelings that make someone turn to food. For example, do you come home from school each day and automatically head to the kitchen? Stop and ask yourself, “ Am I really hungry?” Is your stomach growling? Are you having difficulty concentrating or feeling irritable(易怒的)? If these signs point to hunger, choose something light and healthy to take the edge off until dinner.

27. The writer imagined a fight to ________

A. put forward the idea of emotional eating

B. stress the harm of fighting with a friend

C. advice on how to comfort an upset child

D. explain the feeling of eating an ice cream

28.According to the passage, emotional eating refers to the fact that ______.

A. people use food to judge a person’s emotion

B. people have a special feeling on certain food

C. people seek comfort
