专题06 完形填空 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25九上·上海奉贤区多校联考·期中） Cormorant fishing is a Chinese traditional skill. Traditional skills are those 1 that have been passed down from generation to generation. These skills can include things like weaving, pottery making, or woodworking. They are often 2 rural areas (农村) and small communities where people have been able to keep these skills over time. Traditional skills are important because they help to protect cultural heritage (遗产). By passing on these skills, we are able to keep alive the knowledge and skills that have been used for centuries. This not only enables these traditions to continue, but also makes us interested in the history and culture of different communities around the world. Another reason why traditional skills are valuable is that they 3 a way for people to protect their environment. Many traditional skills use natural materials such as wood, clay, or wool. By working with these materials, people are able to develop a deeper understanding of the natural world and the resources that 4 to them. Although there are many benefits of traditional skills, they are becoming less popular in today’s world. As technology advances and our lives become more fast-paced, many people 5 have the time or desire to learn these skills. Besides, some traditional skills are replaced by modern ones that are faster or easier to use. However, there are still many people who value traditional skills and are working hard to keep them alive. Whether 6 workshops or simply passing on knowledge to family members, these people are helping to ensure that these skills continue to be a part of our cultural heritage for generations to come. 1．A．items B．chances C．influences D．abilities 2．A．different from B．connected with C．covered with D．aware of 3．A．provide B．reply C．support D．promise 4．A．harmful B．ancient C．available D．convenient 5．A．had better B．no longer C．would rather D．used to 6．A．except B．between C．during D．through Passage 2 （24-25九上·上海浦东新区·期中） 28 years ago, my grandparents invited us to their home for Thanksgiving dinner. Their tiny house was 7 . There were my parents, my brothers, and me. My two uncles were there with their families as well. The kitchen table was full and people were eating on the TV table. Our stomachs were being filled with turkey, mashed potatoes (土豆泥), pies, etc. Old 8 were being shared with laughter and love. Conversations about my father and uncles were going on at once. My grandparents talked a lot of funny stories that happened when they were young. I sat off to the side, silently sipping (小口喝) my sweet milk and just listening. Suddenly, I felt very glad. I saw my brothers smiling with their face 9 with mashed potatoes. My grandmother was cutting up apple pies for dessert 10 , having a big smile on her face. My mom and aunts-in-law were talking in one corner in a low voice. My dad and two uncles were 11 each other in the living room, and the room was filled with waves of laughter. As I watched it all, all of a sudden, I had a feeling in the centre of my chest. It was a curious mixture of peace, satisfaction, love and joy. I realized then what I was feeling: happiness. So many years have gone by. Still, that 12 lives on in my heart like it was yesterday. It wasn’t the food that made it so special. It was the coming together as a family in love. My grandparents have left us forever now and my uncles and I don’t see each other. Yet, I can still feel their love for our family.

Comparisons can help to make decisions and inspire (激励) you, but they can also pull you into a comparison trap (陷阱). Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else. Scientists say it’s a(an) 13 behavior that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. Becky Goddard is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand feelings). She believes that “comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.” “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to 14 and try harder. However, Goddard says, “Sometimes it can make you feel bad about yourself and make you feel less 15 ”. “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, but it can also 16 you from wanting to improve. So, what should you do if you often find yourself caught up in the comparison trap? One piece of advice from Goddard is to be with cheerleaders, or supportive friends. Spend time with people who 17 our strengths rather than compare themselves to you. Above all, remember that the most important competition is with yourself. Focus on your own 18 and how you can become better and better. 13．A．interesting B．natural C．strange D．unusual 14．A．aim higher B．run faster C．sleep earlier D．think deeper 15．A．careful B．confident C．independent D．patient 16．A．free B．protect C．save D．stop 17．A．attract B．ignore C．praise D．trust 18．A．address B．beauty C．happiness D．progress Passage 2 （24-25九上·上海建平实验中学·期中） HELP OTHERS, HELP YOURSELF Science shows that helping others can make you feel good too. The key is to find the approach that works for you. There’s a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a 19 , go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, get rich. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others. Scientific research provides data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier, and more 20 . Giving can feel great. And as we learn early, it’s better to give than to 21 . Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain happiness. Follow these tips: 1 Find your passion. It’s not how much you give. It’s how much love you put into giving. You may 22 one purpose more than others, and that’s okay. Support the purpose that feels right for you. 2 Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. We can give some of this time to help others—whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year. 3 Give to groups with clear 23 . Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says that “giving to a charity that clearly says what they’re going to do with your money leads to more happiness.” 4 Don’t forget about yourself. “Selfless giving ... easily becomes overwhelming (令人不知所措的),” psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, 24 keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. You matter too! 5 Be proactive. Set aside time to serve your community. Think about your choices, and find the purpose and type of service that best match your values. 19．A．minute B．hour C．day D．year 20．A．comfortable B．meaningful C．boring D．relaxing 21．A．receive B．offer C．buy D．search 22．A．talk about B．think about C．worry about D．care about 23．A．hobbies B．dreams C．goals D．jobs 24．A．but B．although C．then D．or Passage 3 （24-25九上·上海杨浦区·期中） Should We Keep Bird Fishing Alive? Damin and Lily share their thoughts on bird fishing. Is it a good idea to keep this traditional practice alive? Bird fishing is a great tradition, says Damin Bird fishing should be left in the past, says Lily I believe that bird fishing is a tradition worth keeping. It’s a part of our history and a special way of life. There are several reasons why we should continue this practice. First, bird fishing is a(n)   25 sight. The cormorants are amazing creatures, and watching them work feels like seeing a dance with nature. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Second, it’s an effective way of fishing. We don’t use nets or rods; we let the birds do the work. By tying a piece of grass around their necks, we make sure the fish are caught without harming the birds or the environment. Plus, bird fishing teaches us about   26 . The connection between the fisherman and the cormorants is special. It’s a partnership that has been passed down through generations, and it’s something we shouldn’t lose. Bird fishing is a skill that has been around for over a thousand years. It’s a part of our   27 , and keeping it alive is important for future generations to understand where we come from. In my view, bird fishing is an old tradition that might not be suitable for today’s world. Firstly, it’s a dying art. Not many young people are interested in learning it, and it’s hard work. It 28 a lot of patience and skill, and not everyone is willing to put in the effort. Secondly, there are better ways to fish nowadays. Modern fishing methods can catch more fish in less time, and they don’t 29 animals to do the work. What’s more, keeping cormorants for fishing might not be the best for the birds. They might prefer to live in the wild and catch their own food rather than being used by humans. 30 continuing this practice, we should focus on protecting wildlife and exploring better fishing methods. Although bird fishing is an interesting tradition, we must consider its future and the challenges it faces. 25．A．common B．amusing C．familiar D．exciting 26．A．teamwork B．respect for animals C．responsibility D．animal training 27．A．ambition B．culture C．economy D．knowledge 28．A．expects B．offers C．requires D．limits 29．A．pay for B．take care of C．make jokes about D．depend on 30．A．Except for B．Instead of C．In addition to D．As a result of Passage 4 （24-25九上·上海黄浦区·期中） Self-growth is a journey that everyone has to go through in life. It is about understanding ourselves better, learning new skills and becoming a full man. The first step towards self-growth is self-reflection (自我反思). We must know our strengths, weaknesses, interests and values well. This can be done by simply taking some time to think. 31 we know ourselves better, we can start setting goals. The goals should be realistic and specific (具体的). For example, if we want to improve our maths skills, our goal could be to work out at least 10 maths problems a day. Setting goals, however, is not enough. We also need to take action to 32 them. We can practise new skills, read more books, or ask for help from others during the process. Along the way, we are 33 to meet challenges. Instead of getting upset, we should think of them as 34 to learn and grow. We must remember that the path to self-growth is not always 35 , but every step we take brings us closer to our goals. The mental health is one thing we must 36 during the process of self-growth. We should learn to deal with stress and negative emotions (消极情绪) and build good relationships with others. Sharing our feelings and experiences with someone we trust can be very helpful. In a word, self-growth is a long journey filled with growth and learning. It is about becoming the best of ourselves so that we can lead a happy and rich life. 31．A．Once B．Even C．Although D．Before 32．A．organize B．judge C．achieve D．explore 33．A．familiar B．certain C．pleased D．blind 34．A．risks B．accidents C．enemies D．chances 35．A．wide B．tidy C．modern D．smooth 36．A．care about B．stay away C．give in D．search for Passage 5 （24-25九上·上海建平实验中学·期中） One of my patients, a successful businessman, told me that before he fell ill, he wasn’t happy. Happiness was “having the cookie”. Only if you had the cookie could things be good. Unluckily, the cookie kept 37 . Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes nice things. A year and a half later, he sat in my office and told me that he had cancer (癌症). “It’s like I 38 learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It’s taken me this long to 39 that the cookie will never make me happy for long,” he said. “The minute you have the cookie, it starts to break or you start to 40 someone trying to take it away from you.” My patient laughed and said cancer had changed him. For the first time he was happy. No matter if his 41 was doing well or not, no matter if he won or lost at a game. “Two years ago, cancer asked me: ‘What is really important?’ Well, life is important— life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness does not have 42 to do with the cookie; it has to do with being alive.” “I guess life is the cookie,” he added thoughtfully. 37．A．losing B．breaking C．changing D．eating 38．A．stopped B．started C．created D．imagined 39．A．remember B．understand C．guess D．wonder 40．A．look for B．worry about C．show off D．take care of 41．A．homework B．competition C．research D．business 42．A．everything B．nothing C．anything D．something Passage 6 （24-25九上·上海宝山区·期中） Vertical Gardens Helen didn’t have a big yard. She only had a small deck (平台) overlooking a tiny piece of grass. It was not enough yard for her dog to play on. She really wanted a garden, but didn’t have space. Luckily, she came up with a creative idea to solve the problem. Helen used to keep a few plants in pots on the deck. They took up space and there was 43 any room for her table and chairs. Therefore, she made some flower boxes with rope to put plants in. She 44 one on her window and put two more on the bars, which were great for flowers. This helped for a long time, but she still longed for more. Helen finally got an idea: if she couldn’t build out, why not build up? She had heard of vertical gardening from a friend. She had wooden fences all around her little pieces of grass, so if she could fix some pots to the fence, she would save much space. Helen went to the building store and got some supplies. It was 45 to find pots in proper size and fitted her fence, so she looked around to find something else for her vertical garden. Then she had an idea with rain gutters (排水槽). Rain gutters can hold water, so why not plants? She decided to try them. Back at home, Helen fixed her boards to her fence for supporting the gutters. She put the cap on the end and extra supports in the middle. Then she filled them with potting soil and planted three long rows of 46 .         A few days later, there were new leaves. Weeks later, Helen was harvesting (收获) carrots to eat. She was so excited that she couldn’t wait to 47 her harvest to parents. Helen’s parents were surprised and cooked the carrots for dinner. They tasted delicious! Now, Helen lined all three walls of her fence with more long rain gutter planters. To her joy, she had made her vertical garden! 48 , her dog had enough room to run free. The vertical garden was beautiful and lively as well! 43．A．usually B．hardly C．sadly D．probably 44．A．hid B．carried C．hung D．stuck 45．A．difficult B．attractive C．convenient D．simple 46．A．grass B．vegetables C．earth D．flowers 47．A．complain aboutB．live on C．pay for D．show off 48．A．For example B．In other words C．What’s more D．In brief 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25九上·上海杨浦区·期中） Would you eat an insect? It might sound disgusting, but insects have actually been part of 49 diets in many parts of the world. In Thailand, fried crickets are a popular snack. In Ghana, eating termites helps people get the protein they need. And in Mexico, ant eggs fried in butter are thought to be delicious. Moreover, eating insects could be the 50 to world hunger. Many people around the world don’t have enough food to eat. Meanwhile, the earth’s population keeps growing. It is said that it will reach 9,000,000,000 by the year 2050. Also, we are quickly running out of new land to use for farming and raising animals. The number of fish in our oceans is also decreasing, because of pollution and overfishing. On the other hand, there are plenty of insects available; this is why a United Nations（UN）report 51 using insects as food. Insects are not only more than enough but also good for your health. They contain lots of protein and important nutrients. Locusts, for example, actually contain more iron than beef does. Moreover, raising insects for food is better for the environment than raising other animals, because they 52 less land, food and water. Also, farm animals like cows and pigs give our harmful greenhouse gases into the air after they eat. Insects release greenhouse gases too, but not as much as other animals. 53 they can breakdown the waste and dead bodies of other animals, returning their nutrients to the soil. Insects are already being eaten by many people across the world. Even if it seems 54 , we should keep an open mind. It could mean the difference between life and death for starving people around the world.

About 14 years ago, middle-aged Jochen decided to pack up before leaving for Shanghai, a beautiful city he fell in love with at first sight. But now, the 57-year-old German admitted he 61 imagined he would be a father when he arrived here. The city gave him the most important treasure in his life — a family with a Chinese wife and their ten-month-old baby girl. Holin: Hi Jochen, Can you tell me how you got that special name “You Heng (优衡)”? Jochen: When I was here for the first time, I reported from the World Engineering Congress. So I traveled along with students. One of them was Shanghainese, who studied in Germany, and because of him, I met several people here, so I had some 62 During 14 days, some of the people I met really became friends. They wanted me to have a name with meaning, and then we were searching books. After a few hours, they came up with the name “You Heng, which sounds a little bit 63 the pronunciation(发音) to my German name.” Holin: What made you decide to stay here for such a long time? Jochen: It is exciting to be here and it is a(an) 64 city to live in. A lot of things are going on here. I think one reason why I stayed here was... of course it is different culture, so you can learn a lot. But the main point is, I get to learn about myself. I learn something about myself all the time. Holin: Do you have any impressive Shanghai story? Jochen: I’m always curious. For me, there was no culture shock. What impressed me was that just almost everything is different. 65 , I realized eating is not just about food here, it really sticks people together which is the culture here. That is different from Germany. And the most impressive story is my wife. I met her in Bayer. She is of course a(n) 66 reason for me to stay here. She was always interested in German culture.

One type of interviews is the telephone interview. Here are some tips for telephone interviews: 67 the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practice the answers orally until you are 68 yourself. The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements. Keep your notes handy. Have any key information next to the phone, 69 your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared. Avoid 70 topics. When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response. But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.” Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible I’d be really 71 to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Which would be better for you?” Try to rearrange surprise interviews. If you receive an interview call without any expectation, you can 72 ask them to arrange another time for the interview, so you can be better prepared. Try something like, “I am sorry but I can’t do it right now. Can I call you back tomorrow after work, at 6 p. m.?” After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interviews, so get prepared and good luck! 67．A．Process B．Predict C．Prove D．Pretend 68．A．familiar with B．serious about C．satisfied with D．strict with 69．A．in addition B．beside C．except for D．including 70．A．wealth B．salary C．value D．reward 71．A．happy B．surprised C．embarrassed D．frightened 72．A．friendly B．loudly C．politely D．angrily Passage 4 （24-25九上·上海七宝实验中学·期中） Autism(自闭症) is a disorder of the brain that happens in the first three years of life. It   73 the brain’s normal development. Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However, some of the autistic people have surprising abilities. For example, some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast. Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an   74 of autistic people. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek, a man from the USA．Peek couldn't switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself. But his   75 was so surprising that he could remember almost anything. He could memorize every road, place and distance on maps. He could even remember almost every word in thousands of books. His way of reading was more   76 . Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye. Scientists still don't know for sure why some autistic people have special talent after they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are 77 by autism, other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore, special abilities were born. But not all people with autism have special abilities. 78 autistic people with special abilities are rare and the abilities cannot be trained. According to research, only ten percent of autistic people show any signs of special talent. 73．A．helps B．increases C．affects D．records 74．A．actress B．inventor C．owner D．example 75．A．memory B．behavior C．change D．smile 76．A．common B．amazing C．frightening D．traditional 77．A．rebuilt B．recognized C．repaired D．damaged 78．A．Above all B．On average C．In fact D．In addition Passage 5 （23-24九上·上海位育中学·期中） Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t 79 like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he 80 to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with 81 . A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 82 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more 83 than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（贡献）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get 84 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference. 79．A．write B．copy C．listen D．read 80．A．refused B．decided C．managed D．pretended 81．A．fear B．pride C．promise D．silence 82．A．realized B．noticed C．followed D．heard 83．A．coldly B．slowly C．clearly D．quietly 84．A．serious B．nervous C．worried D．surprised Passage 6 （24-25九上·上海位育中学·期中） Get set for returning to school Prepare yourself for the year ahead with these simple steps.

Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he’ll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions 91 on your ability to use your child’s natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun. A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child’s reading 92 . Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you 93 out. At the beginning, use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don’t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and 94 the game. Take your child shopping with you often. He’s to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things.

Comparisons can help to make decisions and inspire (激励) you, but they can also pull you into a comparison trap (陷阱). Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else. Scientists say it’s a(an) 13 behavior that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. Becky Goddard is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand feelings). She believes that “comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.” “Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to 14 and try harder. However, Goddard says, “Sometimes it can make you feel bad about yourself and make you feel less 15 ”. “Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you’re doing well, but it can also 16 you from wanting to improve. So, what should you do if you often find yourself caught up in the comparison trap? One piece of advice from Goddard is to be with cheerleaders, or supportive friends. Spend time with people who 17 our strengths rather than compare themselves to you. Above all, remember that the most important competition is with yourself. Focus on your own 18 and how you can become better and better. 13．A．interesting B．natural C．strange D．unusual 14．A．aim higher B．run faster C．sleep earlier D．think deeper 15．A．careful B．confident C．independent D．patient 16．A．free B．protect C．save D．stop 17．A．attract B．ignore C．praise D．trust 18．A．address B．beauty C．happiness D．progress 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．B 16．D 17．C 18．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了在我们的生活中，我们经常容易陷入“比较陷阱”，从而影响自己，因此我们应该关注自己的成就，和自己比较。 13．句意：科学家表示，这是一种自然行为，有助于人类相互学习，共同快乐生活，取得更多成就。 interesting有趣的；natural自然的；strange奇怪的；unusual不寻常的。根据“Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read, it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else.”可知，无论是你在足球上进了多少球，还是你读了多少书，你都很容易把自己和别人比较，这是一种很自然的行为，故选B。 14．句意：“攀比”的意思是看到别人比你做得更好，以此来激励自己树立更高的目标，更加努力。 aim higher追求更高的目标；run faster跑得更快；sleep earlier睡得更早；think deeper更深入地思考。根据“‘Comparing up’ means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to…and try harder.”可知，看到别人比自己优秀，来激励自己可以追求更高的目标，故选A。 15．句意：有时它会让你对自己感觉不好，让你感觉不那么自信。 careful仔细的；confident自信的；independent独立的；patient耐心的。根据“Sometimes it can make you feel bad about yourself”可知，对自己感觉不好，没有那么自信，故选B。 16．句意：这可能会让你觉得自己做得很好，但它也会阻止你想要提高。 free释放；protect保护；save节省；stop停止。根据“‘Comparing down’ is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you.”可知，看到别人做得不如自己，这会让你觉得自己做得很好，就没有前进的动力，也就是阻止了你进步，故选D。 17．句意：花时间和那些赞美我们优点的人在一起，而不是拿他们自己和你比较。 attract吸引；ignore忽略；praise称赞；trust相信。根据“to be with cheerleaders, or supportive friends.”和“ Spend time with people who… our strengths”可知，要与那种赞美人们优点的人在一起，故选C。 18．句意：关注自己的进步，关注自己如何变得越来越好。 address地址；beauty美丽；happiness幸福；progress进步。根据“Above all, remember that the most important competition is with yourself.”和“how you can become better and better”可知，要和自己比较，所以是关注自己取得的进步，故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九上·上海建平实验中学·期中） HELP OTHERS, HELP YOURSELF Science shows that helping others can make you feel good too.

If you want happiness for a year, get rich.

Scientific research provides data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier, and more 20 . Giving can feel great. And as we learn early, it’s better to give than to 21 . Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain happiness. Follow these tips: 1 Find your passion. It’s not how much you give.

The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. We can give some of this time to help others—whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year. 3 Give to groups with clear 23 . Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says that “giving to a charity that clearly says what they’re going to do with your money leads to more happiness.” 4 Don’t forget about yourself. “Selfless giving ... easily becomes overwhelming (令人不知所措的),” psychologist Adam Grant says.

Damin and Lily share their thoughts on bird fishing. Is it a good idea to keep this traditional practice alive? Bird fishing is a great tradition, says Damin Bird fishing should be left in the past, says Lily I believe that bird fishing is a tradition worth keeping. It’s a part of our history and a special way of life. There are several reasons why we should continue this practice. First, bird fishing is a(n)   25 sight. The cormorants are amazing creatures, and watching them work feels like seeing a dance with nature. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Second, it’s an effective way of fishing.

Plus, bird fishing teaches us about   26 . The connection between the fisherman and the cormorants is special. It’s a partnership that has been passed down through generations, and it’s something we shouldn’t lose. Bird fishing is a skill that has been around for over a thousand years. It’s a part of our   27 , and keeping it alive is important for future generations to understand where we come from. In my view, bird fishing is an old tradition that might not be suitable for today’s world. Firstly, it’s a dying art. Not many young people are interested in learning it, and it’s hard work. It 28 a lot of patience and skill, and not everyone is willing to put in the effort. Secondly, there are better ways to fish nowadays. Modern fishing methods can catch more fish in less time, and they don’t 29 animals to do the work. What’s more, keeping cormorants for fishing might not be the best for the birds. They might prefer to live in the wild and catch their own food rather than being used by humans. 30 continuing this practice, we should focus on protecting wildlife and exploring better fishing methods. Although bird fishing is an interesting tradition, we must consider its future and the challenges it faces. 25．A．common B．amusing C．familiar D．exciting 26．A．teamwork B．respect for animals C．responsibility D．animal training 27．A．ambition B．culture C．economy D．knowledge 28．A．expects B．offers C．requires D．limits 29．A．pay for B．take care of C．make jokes about D．depend on 30．A．Except for B．Instead of C．In addition to D．As a result of 【答案】25．B 26．A 27．B 28．C 29．D 30．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了大明和莉莉对是否保持鸟钓延续的不同看法。 25．句意：首先鸟钓是一种有趣的景象。 common普通的；amusing有趣的；familiar熟悉的；exciting令人激动的。根据下文“The cormorants are amazing creatures, and watching them work feels like seeing a dance with nature.

Along the way, we are 33 to meet challenges. Instead of getting upset, we should think of them as 34 to learn and grow.

She had wooden fences all around her little pieces of grass, so if she could fix some pots to the fence, she would save much space. Helen went to the building store and got some supplies. It was 45 to find pots in proper size and fitted her fence, so she looked around to find something else for her vertical garden. Then she had an idea with rain gutters (排水槽). Rain gutters can hold water, so why not plants? She decided to try them. Back at home, Helen fixed her boards to her fence for supporting the gutters. She put the cap on the end and extra supports in the middle. Then she filled them with potting soil and planted three long rows of 46 .         A few days later, there were new leaves.

It might sound disgusting, but insects have actually been part of 49 diets in many parts of the world. In Thailand, fried crickets are a popular snack. In Ghana, eating termites helps people get the protein they need. And in Mexico, ant eggs fried in butter are thought to be delicious. Moreover, eating insects could be the 50 to world hunger. Many people around the world don’t have enough food to eat. Meanwhile, the earth’s population keeps growing. It is said that it will reach 9,000,000,000 by the year 2050. Also, we are quickly running out of new land to use for farming and raising animals. The number of fish in our oceans is also decreasing, because of pollution and overfishing. On the other hand, there are plenty of insects available; this is why a United Nations（UN）report 51 using insects as food. Insects are not only more than enough but also good for your health. They contain lots of protein and important nutrients. Locusts, for example, actually contain more iron than beef does. Moreover, raising insects for food is better for the environment than raising other animals, because they 52 less land, food and water. Also, farm animals like cows and pigs give our harmful greenhouse gases into the air after they eat. Insects release greenhouse gases too, but not as much as other animals. 53 they can breakdown the waste and dead bodies of other animals, returning their nutrients to the soil. Insects are already being eaten by many people across the world. Even if it seems 54 , we should keep an open mind.

In this way, you will sound more prepared. Avoid 70 topics. When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response. But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.” Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible I’d be really 71 to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Which would be better for you?” Try to rearrange surprise interviews. If you receive an interview call without any expectation, you can 72 ask them to arrange another time for the interview, so you can be better prepared.

I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out.

When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（贡献）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child.
