What I remember most about my childhood is that I was always hungry. I was hungry for 16 , hungry for nice clean clothes and hungry for someone to 17 when I ran away from home or hid in the closet for hours. I was just hungry—hungry for someone to care for me because I was a child and 18 for attention.
But on Friday nights, I was never hungry. My grandfather would 19 me up for the weekend, and when we arrived at my grandparents’ home, there was always a 20 of something cooking on the stove, a freshly drawn bath and a warm nightdress 21 me. It was at my grandmother’s house that I 22 what true nourishment(营养品) was. It was where my 23 were dried.
When I walked into her kitchen, 24 was transformed from processed packages of instant soup to the delicious and fragment smell of 25 chicken soup. The smells of fresh fruits and just-baked cookies filled the air and my world. It was the 26 place I can remember feeling happy, 27 and nourished. It was what I wanted.
My grandmother taught me how good it felt to be cared for, and how to care for myself and others through 28 . If I asked her how much celery(芹菜) to chop for a soup, she’d wave off the question. “Just use your 29 ,” she’d say. “You can’t go 30 when you use fresh ingredients.” She’d 31 a few carrots, sweet potatoes, a few bones— 32 looked best at the market that day—into a pot, and two hours later, it was the most delicious thing I’d ever 33 .
My grandmother made it her task to teach me how to 34 myself. She was my teacher. She poured love into my life, one 35 at a time.

A schoolboy, who has been unable to play sports, has found the perfect entertainment—snowboarding. Thomas Pettigrew is enjoying himself by performing difficult actions at freestyle events.
The youngster can’t join in PE lessons at school, because he suffers from a rare condition, which means his body dangerously overheats. This makes it difficult for his body to cool down naturally. But the ice-cool temperatures on the mountains mean Thomas can slide down the slopes freely.
His father Richard came up with the idea of taking Thomas snowboarding in March, 2010. Now while other children look forward to playing outside in the sunshine, Thomas is applying his new activity at the SnoZone in Castleford, in temperatures of about -5oC. Mr. Pettigrew said. “When Thomas tries most sports, he has to stop when he gets too hot but that never happens with snowboarding. I was surprised at how good he was when he started. He now goes every week for three or four hours. He’s been so enthusiastic about his snowboarding that he’s even persuaded me to have a go, so we can enjoy it together.”
Thomas’s parents have spent the past 10 years watching the schoolboy for any signs of overheating, only taking him on holiday in the cooler months. “He has no energy and no interest in doing anything if he overheats and we do whatever it takes to cool his temperature, such as putting him in the car with the air conditioner working or running cold baths.”
Aiden Harington, head of the ski school at SnoZone, said, “Snow sports are a great way for anyone to keep fit, but seem to be particularly beneficial to Thomas as he is able to make sure he stays cool. Thomas does very well in snowboarding, and he can now perform plenty of freestyle actions. I’m sure that he will continue to progress in the coming months, and hopefully take part in some of our freestyle events.”
41. Thomas Pettigrew thinks snowboarding is __________.
A. dangerous B. pleasant
C. healthful D. difficult
42. What’s the problem with Thomas Pettigrew?
A. He doesn’t like outdoor activities.
B. There’re no PE lessons in his school.
C. He can’t get used to low temperatures on the mountains.
D. His body always gets too hot and can’t become cool easily.
43. What can we know from the third paragraph?
A. Thomas has a talent for snowboarding.
B. The family enjoy snowboarding every day.
C. Thomas has tried plenty of sports and hasn’t found a suitable one.
D. Thomas’s mother was the first person to take Thomas snowboarding.
44. Thomas’s parents need to cool down his body once he is __________.
A. nervous B. excited
C. spiritless D. sleepy
45. According to the passage, Aiden Harington __________.
A. is a snowboarding fan
B. believes Thomas has great possibility for developing snowboarding skills
C. thinks snowboarding can help cure Thomas’s disease
D. encourages and helps Thomas a lot
C
When a dog looks at you with big puppy-dog eyes, it’s hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww” without hesitation. However, there’s a reason why you find a dog’s stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.
The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn’t happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.
A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren’t sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners’ oxytocin levels also rose as a result.
The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man’s best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domestic (驯养的).
According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners,” Kikusui said.
46. According to Paragraph1, people say “Awww ” to __________.
A. make the dog stare at them B. express their love for the dogs
C. draw the dogs’ attention away D. warn the dogs not to approach them
47. According to the passage, oxytocin can __________.
A. reduce animals’ pain of giving birth
B. motivate animals’ desires to protect others
C. help animals to develop a better relationship
D. enable animals to survive more easily from dangers
48. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that __________.
A. dogs given oxytocin react differently
B. female dogs are more popular among humans
C. oxytocin helps dogs become man’s best friends
D. wolves are not likely to be friends with humans
49. The underlined words “ the change” in Paragraph 4 refer to that __________.
A. dogs and wolves are best friends B. wolves begin to bond with humans
C. dogs became friends with humans D. dogs were domesticated by humans
50. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on humans to be friendly to dogs
B. To give advice on how to get along with dogs.
C. To introduce the evolution process of wild dogs.
D. To explain why humans and dogs are connected.
D
Even if you are saying and doing the right things at your job and in your personal life, you could be making a bad impression on people with what you don’t say. That’s because many of our reactions to others are based on body language. If your body language is communicating a negative message, that’s the message you could be sending, regardless of what actual words come out of your mouth.
What are some of the negative messages sent via body language? Things like having arms folded across your chest can show unfriendliness. Lack of eye contact can indicate shiftiness(奸诈). An unsmiling face could communicate a variety of things, like anger, disappointment or sadness
