Dear Tony,

Yours, Li Hua

Many years ago, I made a living by driving a car. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked.“Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It’s nothing,” I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers in the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said.“I’m on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long time.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計價器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?”she asked.

“Nothing,” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers, ”I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

1.The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A. show she was familiar with the city

3.What can we learn from the story?

B. People should respect each other.

C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

Some educators told us that more years of school could help students get higher scores on intelligence tests. That was a finding of a study of teenage males in some countries. Now, another research shows that physical activity may help students do better in their classes.

The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time instead for academic（學(xué)術(shù)的）subjects like math and reading. The studies appeared between 2008 and 2014. They included more than 55, 000 children, aged 6 to 18.

Amika Singh:“ According to the results of our study, we can conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance. There are, first, Physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷爾蒙)produced like endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”

Also, students taking part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them keep their mind on their work.

The study leaves some questions unanswered, however. Ms. Stash says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement. This is because of differences among the studies.

The researchers said they found only two high-quality studies. They needed more high-quality studies to confirm (證實) their findings. They also pointed out that “results for other parts of the world may be quite different.”

Still，the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs. Her paper on “Physical Activity and Performance at School” is published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.

1.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. a research on physical education has been done by the researchers

B. there is a possibility that physical activity leads to higher grades

C. the amount or kind of activity directly affects academic level

D. the research shows that the children aged 6 to 18 don't do sports

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Being mentally active is good for academic subjects.

B. The more hormones you have, the more stressed you will get.

C. The researchers have found many high-quality studies to prove the research.

D. The educators in some countries think studies, not exercise, mean much to students.

3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A. good marks result from high-quality study.

B. findings are probably different in different areas.

C. physical activity will spread all over the world.

D. academic performance depends on the surroundings.

4.What's the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call our attention to the sports at school.

B. To introduce all types of physical activities.

C. To represent the academic performance.

D. To improve students’ health.

The Value of an Hour

It was Thanksgiving morning. In the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in clothes and thin little sandals(涼鞋), staying together at the door on the top step.

“Any old , lady？” asked one of them.

I was . I wanted to say “no” until my eyes were their sandals, which were wet with heavy snow.

“ and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

They walked and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the . I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight the freezing cold outside. I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget for Thanksgiving Day.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice，“Lady, are you ？”

I looked at my old sofa covers（沙發(fā)套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer(托盤) and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was with a need that no amount of food could

supply. They left after that， their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these ，too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and the living room. The muddy(沾上泥的) of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to how rich I am.
