Around meal time, three times every day, relatives of the hospital’s patients use the kitchen to cook food for their loved ones. The kitchen was originally a breakfast stall (摊) run by a husband and a wife, Wan Zuocheng and Xiong Gengxiang. One day, in 2003, a young couple asked if they could use the stove (炉子) to cook food for their son who had bone cancer (骨癌). He wanted to eat his mother’s cooking while he was in hospital. Wan and Xiong let the young mother use their stove for free. Later on, Wan and Xiong offered their cookers for free, so other families could cook meals for relatives with illness. As words spread, people who had used their cookers began describing the breakfast stall as the “anti-cancer kitchen”. Some even called it the “kitchen of love”. To let more people cook at the same time, Wan and Xiong turned their breakfast stall into a large kitchen. People who used their kitchen really wanted to share the costs. As a result, Wan and Xiong set a price: One yuan to cook a dish or to buy a box of rice, and three yuan to cook soup. Water or seasoning (调味品) is free. For people from poor families, the couple refuse to accept their money. They get up at 4 a. m. every day to prepare. They boil water and cook rice first. To make it easier for others to use the kitchen, Wan and Xiong like to clean the kitchen, like sweeping the ground and washing the pots and pans. Wan and Xiong have run the kitchen for about 20 years. But they have never regretted their decision. They always listen to patients’ relatives talking about their experiences. They believe listening to them helps them feel relaxed. Xiong says, “It is the happiest thing to run the kitchen and help others. ” 6. What does the underlined word “originally” probably mean? A. At least. B. Surely. C. Probably. D. At first. 7. How much will it cost to cook two dishes and a bowl of soup in the kitchen? A. 4 yuan. B. 5 yuan. C. 6 yuan. D. 7 yuan. 8. What can be put in “ ” in the fourth paragraph? A. More and more people from poor families come to cook. B. Wan and Xiong think working in the kitchen is not easy. C. Wan and Xiong are busy from early morning. D. The couple’s children want them to take a break, but they always refuse. 9. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Wan and Xiong like listening to the stories of others. B. The kitchen is free to people all the time. C. The kitchen is in a hospital in Nanchang. D. Many people help in the kitchen every day. 10.

Many psychologists (心理学家) now think so. “Self-focus” means thinking about yourself. In the old days psychologists used to tell patients with depression (抑郁症) to pay more attention to themselves. They wanted patients to talk about their problems and feelings. At first they thought that “self-focus” would cure (治愈) depression. Then, some psychologists began wondering if they were wrong, they realized that depressed people talked about themselves much more than non-depressed people. Psychologists began to wonder if it was possible for “self-focus” to cause depression. So psychologists began thinking of different ways to treat depressed people. They thought that patients would feel better if they stopped thinking about their own problems. They even thought that they could cure depression by having patients focus on other people. Scientists at the University of Michigan studied older men. Some of the men volunteered to help others, but others did not volunteer. They found that the men who volunteered lived much longer. Duke University scientists studied patients who had heart disease. Some patients were told to volunteer. The patients who volunteered were happier and healthier than the others. As a result of the research, scientists began recommending volunteerism (志愿服务). Each of us experiences pain, sadness, and loneliness. One of the best ways to overcome these feelings is to help others who are experiencing difficulty. Thinking about others all the time is not going to solve all your problems, but it is nice to know that by helping other s, you can help yourself, too. 1. What does “self-focus” mean? _ 2. What did psychologists first think of “self-focus”? _ 3. What did the scientists at Michigan University find on the men who volunteered? _ 4. Who studied patients with heart disease? _ 5. Are you “self-focus”? Why or why not? (请列出两个原因,答案合理即可) _ 八、书面表达(15分) 假设你是Peter,你校劳动节正在招募志愿者,请在下方招募告示的三个工作中选一种写一封申请邮件。 Helpers wanted this Saturday Voluntary work Working in an old people’s home Helping kids in an after-school program Being a guide at a museum E-mail: volunteers@ school. com.
