The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room, I was the nurse on duty. When I felt sad about having to    1 on Christmas Day, a woman and four small children showed up at my desk.
“Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes.” the woman said    2  and lowered her head. But when it came to telling me about their    3 , things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing    4  with their body.
Why did they tell a   5  that they were all sick? I did not say anything but    6  that it might be a little time before a doctor could    7  them . The mother said, “Take your time. We can    8  here. It’s so warm.” When she finished the register chart, I noticed she didn’t write down their address----were they    9 ?
I looked at the    10  around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and    11  to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and said something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of    12  but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses’ station and   13  the homeless family. The nurses,    14  about working on Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to    15 .We bought delicious food in the hospital restaurant and    16  a big dinner for our guests. We needed    17 . So we put apples in a basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the    18 , our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be    19  on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family was to    20 , the youngest child ran to me and said, “Thank you very much. Good bye. ”

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read you just might grow up carrying everywhere you go, just like she does.
Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.
1. Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.
2. Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.
3. Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
4. Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.   
A．the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football team
B．the kid will like reading if his or her mother likes
C．parents influence(影響) their kids greatly.
D．we should follow our parents’ hobbies.

A．you keep your parents company all the time
B．you stay at home with your parents

Q My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
—Deborah
A  First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/ SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.
You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.
—Ms. Kravis
小題1:What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?
A．She is applying for a master’s degree.
B．She is very active in her high school.
C．Her disability prevents her studying well.
D．She has difficulty overcoming her learning disability.
小題2:According to Ms. Kravis, what can Deborah do about her daughter’s low test scores?
A．Keep them secretB．Explain the reasons
C．Stress other aspectsD．Work hard to improve
小題3:What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude toward one’s declaring his/ her learning disability?
A．SupportiveB．OpposedC．DoubtfulD．Unconcerned
小題4:According to the text, Ms. Kravis is probably         .
A．a(chǎn)n editorB．a(chǎn) school leader
C．a(chǎn) psychologicalD．a(chǎn)n educational expert

Careercast.com is out with its list of best and worst jobs of 2012. It’s bad news for the writer of this story, but much brighter for the folks who program the code that keeps this website busy.
Using a method that looked at physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook, career Website Careercast.com, ranked the top 200 jobs. They also ranked the jobs with the most stress. Not surprisingly, none of the most stressful jobs show up on the best jobs list.
At the top is software engineer and at the bottom is the lumberjack. Cutting trees failed to skate above the bottom 10 percent in all ranking categories, except income. “Unemployment for lumberjacks is very high, and the demand for their services is expected to continue to fall through 2016. And while working outside all day may seem like a great job perk(有額外津貼的工作), being a lumberjack not only is considered the worst job, but also one of the world’s most dangerous,” according to Careercast.com. And, for that most dangerous job, a lumberjack earns a little more than $32,000 a year. That’s about $56,000 less than the easy job of a software engineer, which has the average salary at $88,000 a year, according to Careercast.
Here’s a complete look at the best and worst jobs. And, take a look at the most stressful jobs. You may be surprised.
Best Jobs                     Worst Jobs             Most Stressful Jobs
Software Engineer                   Lumberjack              Enlisted Soldier
Actuary                         Dairy Farmer                Firefighter
Human Resources Manager         Enlisted Military Soldier       Airline Pilot
Dental Hygienist                    Oil Rig Worker         Military General
Financial Planner                   Reporter (Newspaper)        Police Officer

After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
小題1:A good title for this passage is _______.
A．Sleep.B．Good HealthC．DreamsD．Work and Rest
小題2:The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means_______.
A．sickB．a(chǎn)sleepC．a(chǎn) little sleepyD．noisy

Long ago in a small town, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived, he bounced (跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”
