Every morning my friend would stop on the way to work to have a quick breakfast with her 8-year-old son. Then she 36 him off at school. They ate the same thing every morning: an egg sandwich, juice, coffee for her, and milk for him.
One day she ordered a(n) 37 breakfast.

He 40 her, telling her it was his first meal during the last several 41 . She couldn’t help but feel 42 and was glad she finally took 43 .
She told her son that she had seen the man every day that week there and that 44 , herself included, had offered him 45 , support, food, or drink. She 46 explained that homelessness could happen to anyone and that it was important to 47 needy people.

My friend 52 every time she tells me that this “Tradition of Kindness” goes on with her son, who remembers this 53 tradition. Now working in a company, her son stops every morning at Starbucks for a coffee and offers a homeless person a breakfast before going to the 54 .

[详细]举一反三
When I was fifteen months old．I fell on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it．And as I grew，this sightless eye , in so many ways controlled me that I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me．
Yet Mama would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say，“If you hold your head up high，it will be OK．And people will see your beautiful soul．”She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide．
As a little child，I thought Mama meant，“Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking．”As a teenager, I found that my mama’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face，I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind my eyes．
In high school I was successful both academically and socially．I was even elected class president，but inside me I still felt like a freak(畸形人)．When things got really bad，I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world．Let them see the beauty that is inside．”
When I met the man who became my partner for life，we looked each other straight in the eye，and he told me I was beautiful inside and out．Mama’s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt．
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home．Each of my children has felt its invitation．The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation．

A quarrel at home may result in your falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.
小题1: Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?| A．Because her classmates often quarreled in class. | | B．Because her parents used to quarrel. | | C．Because of her depression caused by bad family relations. | | D．Because her classmates shouted loudly at her. |
小题2: According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．We get sick or stay well by ourselves. | | B．Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health. | | C．Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment. | | D．Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not. |
小题3: The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.| A．surprise | B．faint | C．tiredness | D．sadness |
小题4:The best title for this passage is ________.| A．Family relations. | B．The reasons why we get sick. | | C．Family---- another cause to health | D．A research about health. |
