A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of 11.

“Do you know 12 you and I are?” she asked. 13 I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman 14 desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated, 15 how to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) 16.” “We don’t 17 ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.

I forgot all about her story 18 one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.

“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What 19 me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an) 20 in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your 23 ?” Coolly, I heard myself 24, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have 25 credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the 26 are in satisfaction rather than just money.”

There was an increasing note of 27 in the clerk’s voice as she 28 in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was 29 by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.

第二部分 阅读理解(共25小题，满分50分)

第一节(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.

Eat Blueberries

Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.

Drink Pomegranate（石榴）Juice

The deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit(阻碍) the growth of lung cancer.

Relax

Feeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!

Take Selenium（硒）

Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.

Break a Sweat

Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.

31. To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.

A. selenium B. blueberries C. pomegranates D. Vitamin D

32. A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.

A. he is very fond of exercise every day. B. he is addicted to drinking

C. he always feels extremely stressed or worried D. he likes to have meals in restaurants

33. will remarkably reduce the risk of men’s prostate cancer.

A. Having a proper supplement of selenium

B. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every day

C. Breathing fresh air now and then

D. Taking exercise at least once a week

34. If you want to keep cancer away, it is very important to ______.

A. have a daily supplement of vitamins B and C

B. try to ignore the secondhand smoking

C. take in as much selenium as possible

D. have exercise as often as possible

When 24-year-old Hannah Brencher moved to New York after college, she was hit by depression and loneliness. One day she felt so lonely that she wanted to reach out to someone. So she put pen to paper and started writing letters—letters to complete strangers.

But these weren’t sad letters about how she w as feeling. They were happy letters, all about the other person, not her. She would write messages for people to have a “bright day” and tell strangers how outstanding they were, even if they thought no one else had noticed. Brencher began dropping the notes all over New York, in cafes, in library books, in parks and on the subway. It made her feel better, knowing that she might be making somebody’s day through just a few short, sweet words. It gave her something to focus on. And so, the website The World Needs More Love Letters was born.

The World Needs More Love Letters is all about writing letters—not emails, but proper, handwritten letters. Not traditional love letters, written to a real beloved, but surprise letters for strangers. They don’t necessarily say “I love you”, but they are full of kindness—telling people they are remarkable and special and all-around amazing.

Brencher’s initiative (初衷) has now exploded. She has personally written hundreds of letters. Last year, she did a TED talk, in which she talks about a woman whose husband, a soldier, comes back home from Afghanistan and they struggle to reconnect: “So she leaves love letters all over the house as a way to say: ‘Come back to me. Find me when you can.’” And then comes another story of a man threatening to kill himself on his Facebook page, only to now be in the land of the living, with many love letters under his pillow.

The World Needs More Love Letters Project works on the idea that “A love letter a day keeps the doctor away” . It’s about sharing positive energy
