2.Mark Twain said,"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."To me,kindness is important because when I am kind,I feel good and my life has meaning.
Kindness is the ability to enrich the lives of others.It can be expressed through a smile,a kind word or a helping hand.Sometimes,the kindest thing we can do is just to walk away from a tense situation and not react with anger or retribution.One thing is certain,each of us benefits personally,and our world is a better place when we treat each other with kindness,regardless of the circumstances.
Sometimes we search for"the right"opportunity to be kind,or we look for someone who is"deserving"of our kindness.Everyone needs kindness.Regardless of our social status,education level or any other factor that might separate us,an act of kindness always brings us together.
Two years ago,I was looking for a way to celebrate World Kindness Day.I called a friend,Kevin,and we decided to pay for someone's groceries.We did,and we had so much fun that we decided to invite a few friends and do something similar again a few weeks later.We invited about 20friends online to join us.By the time the day came,the invitation had been forwarded over 5,000times!We had a group of over 550people with Random Acts of Kindness.In addition,we now speak everywhere,talking about the powerful positive impact kindness can have on our lives.Our goal is simple-to make the world a kinder place by one smile at a time.
Imagine what the world could be like if we would ask ourselves one simple question before we react-what is the kind thing to do in this situation?Could we avoid war,hatred,poverty,starvation and human suffering?I don't know but we should try-for ourselves,for our children and for the world.

B.Kindness can cure disabilities.

B.Find the right opportunity to be kind.

C.What It Means to Be Kind
D.How to Avoid Human Sufferings.

13.請閱讀下面短文,并按照要求用英語寫一篇150 詞左右的文章.
Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it's very necessary to give each other whatever help that might be required.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want-an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
【寫作內(nèi)容】
1.用約30個(gè)單詞概述上文概要;
2.結(jié)合上述信息,談?wù)勀銓ε笥训目捶芭笥褜δ愕挠绊懀?br />3.根據(jù)你的認(rèn)識,談?wù)劗?dāng)朋友之間發(fā)生矛盾時(shí)該怎么處理.
【寫作要求】
1.寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句;
2.作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱;
3.不必寫標(biāo)題.
【評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)】
內(nèi)容完整,語言規(guī)范,語篇連貫,詞數(shù)適當(dāng).
Friendship plays a very important role in our life.It's just like a cup of tea.When we're thirsty,it'll be our best choice.True friendship lasts forever even though sometimes it is troubled.(34 words)
As students,we can share more time with our friends.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends,especially when I have Jim as one of my best friends.We have shared happiness and sorrows with each other since we were classmates at primary school.And we help each other with our study.
What if our friendship is troubled?First,we should never let our pride get in our way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when we're wrong-even if we've been wronged.What's more,see things from our friends'point of view.Last but not least,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change.(123 words).

7.Communication and transportation networks bring people together.Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers.In some countries,laws stop people from(61)moving(move) freely from place to place.
In the past,many groups of people were denied the(62)freedom(free) to travel because of their race,religion,or nationality.Countries also set up Customs posts at(63)their(them) borders.Foreign travelers has to go through a Customs inspection before they(64)were allowed(allow) to travel in the country.
Many of those harriers also acted(65)asbarriers to communication.When two(66)governments(government) disagreed with each other on important matters,they usually would not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely.Countries often tried to keep military or(67)industrial(industry) information secret.
Today,people have the ability to travel,to communicate,and to transport goods more quickly and easily(68)thanever before.Natural barriers(69)that/whichused to be difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily.The barriers(70)made(make) by people are nor so easy to overcome,but in spite of all kinds of barriers,people continue to enjoy traveling and the exchange of goods and ideas.

6.Law school is the place where lawyers learn all the tricks of their trade.I attended a legal class at Wuthering Heights University.
The instructor said,"Today we're going to take an assumed case.A man named Hatfield is charging his surgeon with improper treatment because his doctor cut off the wrong leg."
"Tina,you're the lawyer for Hatfield.Tommy,you are the insurance company's defense lawyer.Tina,you go first."

"Tommy,you object because that fact is irrelevant."

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,Hatfield signed a contract giving permission to cut off his leg and did not specify which one.Once he signed the paper it was no longer the surgeon's responsibility."
Tommy said,"I would like to show proof A."
"What is it?"The professor asked.
"When Hatfield went to college,he failed history and was kicked off the football team."
Tina said,"Objection.His school grades have nothing to do with his leg."
The professor said,"Now class,pay attention.This is very important for anyone who is defending a client in this kind of case.You have to destroy the reputation of your opponents(對手) every chance you can.I hope you have learned something today.As the great lawyer O.J.Simpson once said,‘Winning is everything.'"
28.What happened in the case raised by the professor?D
A.The surgeon denied removing a wrong leg.
B.A man was charged by the insurance company.

B.Ineffective objection of the defense will be ignored by the jury.
