A decades-old tradition, illustrated in a modem children‘s book, links the sweetness of honeywith the joy of learning to read.
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into itand put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.
Stand up, little one, 'he asked the girl softly. 'I did this for your mother, your uncles, your
old brother, and now you ! '
Then, he handed the book to her. 'Taste f '
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
' What is the taste?' the grandpa asked.
The little girl answered, ' Sweet ! '
Then all. the family said in a single voice, 'Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is from thebee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book ! ' The little girlknew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read.
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children‘s book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker.
In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on thebook. It wasn‘t until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with. meaning, the child becomes acquainted(熟悉的) with a common past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading. Much as the author ofthe book Thank You, Mr. Falker puts it, ' Almost as if it were magic, or as if light poured into herbrain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And sheunderstood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, thevery book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover andtasted the sweetness---Then she held the book, honey and all, close to her chest. She could feel tearsroll down her cheeks, but they weren‘t tears of sadness- she way happy, so very happy. '
28. The girl who tasted the honey on the book was ______.
A. nearly six years old B. less than five years old
C. a little more than five years old D.more than six years old
29. It can be inferred from this passage that_______.

B. Mr. Falker helped Patricia Polacco write her book for children.
C. the girl who tasted the honey on the book grew into an artist
D. the honey-on- book tradition has been practiced for many generations
30. The book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker is about
A. the early life of Mr. Falker
B. the magic power of oral words on children
C. Polacco‘s early experience with reading
D. how the honey on the book makes children feel happy

I work in a busy Emergency Room( E. R. ) . This weekend, I had a patient who was very nervousand paranoid.
After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. There is an immediate prejudice against substance abuse in my E. R. One -we do not have a detox(戒酒) facility.The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment than other serious physical ' ailments' .
At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties, was very weakand had a generally aggressive character. He could not sit still and had a cough. He had not had adrink in four days. His hands were shaking and there was a scared look in his eyes.
He told me that he began drinking about age 11 when his mother supplied him with it. He hadtried to quit many times before but had not been able to.
' So . what‘s different this time?'I asked.
'Because I‘m starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don‘t want to be. I ca:n see that I‘m changing into something else. '
That answer helped change my attitude toward him. I could see the pain behind his eyes. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol. He was desperate for help, but not so sure that his condition could be changed.
I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises(伪装) . Sometimes we have to undress it. It‘s worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help,despite us not having a detox facility.
32. What does the underlined word ' ailments' me
A. build B. energy C.illness D. ability
33. How long has the man been drinking?
A. 20 years B. 11 years C. Over 30 years D. Over 20 years
34. From the passage we know that___ .
A. The patient was refused mainly for the hospital‘s lack of equipment
B. The patient once didn‘t want to treat the people he loved kindly
C. The patient was strong and brave at first glance
D. The patient once succeeded in giving up drinking alcohol
35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Where there is a will, there‘s a way.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Never judge a book by its cover.
D. Good is rewarded with good.

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let‘s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn‘t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life, we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. 36
37 Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. 38 so work to stay present and be mindful of the cur- rent moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life ,we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others. but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. 39
When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasuresthat surround you. 40 Stay present and focus on the task you‘re undertaking at the moment.Don‘t let the life pass you by because you‘re always on the go and distracted by ambitions.
Practice looking at life through the lens(镜头) of contentment and it will become more natural.
A. Learn to create chances to achieve your goal.
B. What you should do is to put yourself in a good mood.
C. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.
D. Focus on what you are thankful for.
E. What happened in the past is done and gone.
F. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.
G. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you.

She closed her eyes once more as if allowing what she said to marinate (浸泡) within me. I realized that she was 48_ her life as if she were a bystander. I knew that when my grandmother spoke those words to me, she was feeling _49_. Though we cannot change the past, we can 50 the future.
