In time, the labor pains come. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael"s little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary"s Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days go by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric (儿科的) specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby, but now they plan a funeral. Michael keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.
Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn’t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.
She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and shouts, "Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed. Never disturb patients here.” The mother rises up strongly and said," He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"
Karen leads Michael to his sister"s bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings:" You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray......" Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate begins to calm down and becomes steady.
“Keep on singing, Michael." encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don"t take my sunshine away."
The next day, the very next day, the little girl is well enough to go home! Woman"s Day magazine called it "the miracle of a brother"s song". The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!
Never give up on the people you love.

举一反三
The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.
The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.
Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl"s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.
Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.
High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.
But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values.
On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.
Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.
A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt(免除)models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.
Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.
小题1:From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?
A.He/she would be condemned by the public. |
B.He/she would be awarded by the government. |
C.The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her |
D.He/she would have to worry about liability. |
A.Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans. |
B.The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time. |
C.High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China. |
D.Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera. |
A.people’s perceptions | B.profit and materialism |
C.the apathy of bystanders | D.the morals of society |
A.The worry of responsibility. |
B.Lack of laws that exempt role models from responsibility. |
C.The decline of humanity in society. |
D.The other two cases mentioned in the article--the case of an 88-year-old man and the case where a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her. |
A.A fashion magazine. | B.A news report. |
C.A science fiction. | D.An education column. |
My 25 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 26 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 27 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 28 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 29 to prepare a 30 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 31 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 32!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 33 those who helped you make it through those 34 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 35 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 36 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 37 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 38 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 39 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 40 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits(装备).“But their eyes glaze(呆滞) over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.
“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” Stephens asked.“In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with‘ buy travel bags’ and everything else,” he added.
The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise(危及...的安全)your identity(身份) if lost or stolen while you’re on vocation.
Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you(not in your wallet)or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.
“Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”
小题1:According to passage, _______can destroy one’s vacation the most quickly.
A.being lost on vacation | B.losing money or credit cards |
C.living in a bad hotel. | D.losing contact with family |
A.The people who are going traveling. |
B.The outfits that are prepare4d for traveling. |
C.The suggestions on what to buy when traveling. |
D.The steps to avoid losing money or credit cards. |
A.Take it with them all the time. | B.Put it in a safe place at the hotel |
C.Remove unnecessary cards and documents. | D.Leave it with family or friend. |
A.How to prepare for travel. |
B.How to be happy during your vacation. |
C.How to keep cash and cards safe on vacation. |
D.How to protect your luggage on vacation |
A.people don’t always know how to protect their money or credit cards |
B.people should take a lot of money with them while traveling |
C. people can leave their identifying documents in rooms, if the hotel is expensive |
D.people can spend a few minutes preparing the luggage for travelling |
The first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. In a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.
I would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. Not all communication is verbal(口头的); the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someone’s face, or watching the movements of their body.
Finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video. Trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. Touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.How to communicate more effectively(有效率地) |
B.The importance of using body language in communication |
C.Face-to-face communication, the best way of communicating |
D.Comparison(比较)of different communication forms |
A.A letter or e-mail is always written unclearly. |
B.Business partners can show trust through a firm handshake. |
C.During a conversation, body language is also important. |
D.The face-to-face conversation is a way of communication. |
A.letter | B.e-mail | C.phone | D.face to face communication |
A.Modern forms of communication like phone calls and e-mail are extremely convenient. |
B.Traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse. |
C.Face-to-face communication can only be used among strangers. |
D.Face-to-face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication. |
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
小题1:If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.
A.is down to the earth |
B.is easy to deal with |
C.always thinks he is more important than others |
D.is confident |
A.is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams |
B.has some dreams but he is realistic |
C.is honest, open and easy to deal with |
D.is honest, open but hard to deal with |
A.the person who has his nose in the air is not true |
B.a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent |
C.the opposite direction is always wrong |
D.a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth |
