She sews blankets (缝纫毯子) for children who are dealing with challenges such as being sick, feeling unhappy, or losing a family member. Lucy got the idea four years ago. She had just learned to sew and made a blanket as a gift for her friend’s birthday. “She loved it,” Lucy says.“ So, I thought maybe other kids might need that kind of love.” Her mom posted (发布) on the Internet that Lucy wanted to make a blanket for someone who needed care. They collected the kids’ suggestions. When 20 suggestions came, Lucy didn’t just choose one. She met all of their needs! She has already made more than 800 blankets for kids in many countries. Her favorite part is learning about each child. “I love hearing their stories and getting to know them,” she says. She tries to design styles according to the children’s interests. On each of the blankets, Lucy adds a hand-sewn (手工缝制的) heart. “That’s to let anyone who gets the blanket know they are loved,” she says. Many kids who get a blanket keep in touch with Lucy. She now has friends all over the world. “I love knowing that I can make a difference,” Lucy says. “Everyone can do something. Even the smallest act of kindness can change lives.” 1．When did Lucy get the idea to sew blankets for other kids? A．At the age of 4. B．At the age of 8. C．At the age of 12.

Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. ( )1.What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A.Bring your own chopsticks from home. B.Use communal chopsticks to get food. C.Use your own chopsticks to share food. D.Share the food with others’ chopsticks. ( )2.What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A.turn something around B.pull something nearer C.pick something up D.move something away ( )3.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A.Why the table is round? B.How can you find a seat? C.Which is the honor seat? D.Who is the most important? ( )4.How does the writer organize the article? A.In time order. B.From specific to general. C.In space order. D.From general to specific. 第二节、阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项 Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about. __1__ People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. __2__ Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19­year­old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage(孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. __3__ And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back, “__4__” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon—because he saw love and hope. US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “__5__” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do—their work is “priceless”． A. It’s a chance for poor children to get better care and support. B. Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy, full life. C. For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering. D. Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless. E.

It is interesting to explore what ancient Chinese people used as pillows. Let’s discover more. According to historical records, the development of pillows in China can be understood through different materials such as stone, wood, bamboo, copper, cotton, and silk. Stone and wooden pillows appeared earliest in history. The earliest pillow discovered in China is a wooden one from a Chu state tomb, in the Warring States Period, in Jiangling City of Hubei Province. It has simple decorations. Silk pillows appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. From the Warring States Period on, hard and soft pillows became the two main types of sleeping aids. Porcelain (瓷) pillows were the most widely used in ancient China. They were first produced in the Sui Dynasty, became popular in the Tang Dynasty, and experienced a flourishing period in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty reached a high level of porcelain pillow production. There is a famous porcelain pillow made in the Ding kiln (定窑) during the Northern Song Dynasty. The pillow is shaped like a baby lying in a prone (俯卧的) position on the bed. It is completely covered with white glaze, displaying a slightly yellow color and a smooth texture. As one of the representative works of that period, the pillow is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing now. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain pillows became less and less popular, gradually giving way to the preference for softer pillows. Various materials such as cloth, cotton and leather were used. Some cloth pillows were decorated with embroidered (刺绣的) patterns on the surface. Today, Chinese pillows continue to be made with great care, combining traditional designs with modern materials, to make sure a comfortable sleeping experience. 1.
