On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were   1   warmly and equipped with the video___2___ we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired   3   I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so   4   that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin __5___I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He   6   over to another nearby dustbin and started looking   7   it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and   8   the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in   9   and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made   10     feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with __11___, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 12 day!”

I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can   14   help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness   15   by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.11.

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook.
One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared... and bit him on the hand.
A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.
"I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door," Mr. Jackson said.
Anyway, Mr. Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was.
Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.
"So my advice is this: if a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors," suggests Mr. Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry."

Are you still doing the V for victory sign? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture（手势）is to curl both of your hands and put them together to make a heart—shape. Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber , Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos.
“The heart — hand gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’, ”said the country singer Taylor Swift,21.”It’s a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”
Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.
Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.
“It used to take longer for nonverbal（不用语言的）culture to move. But now ,with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert.
In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.”
33. When we want to express ideas, we often move our hands to mean something besides language. Do you know the meaning of this gesture(手势)?

A．Good luck.	B．We’ve won.
C．Everything is all right.	D．Best wishes.

Looking for a children’s book? Internet users can find hundreds of them. These books are from around the world. And they are free to readers. The United States has started a project called the International Children’s Digital Library. It is supported by the National Science Foundation, the Library of Congress and the institute of Museum and Library Services.
The goal of the project is to offer more than 10,000 children’s electronic books in at least 100 languages. Some of the books show the similarities and differences in ways of life around the world. They will enable children to have a better understanding of other people’s cultures. People working for this project have tried to design easy ways to search the collection and read the books. A picture of each page appears on the computer. Users can also print the pages on paper if they want to.
The project is for two main groups of users. The first group is children between the ages of three and thirteen, along with their teachers and parents. The second group is researchers of children’s literature（文学）. The books can help children understand more about the world.

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities.    47    ---those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.
    48    I would consider bungee(蹦极) jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.    49    Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff(悬崖).
For the reasons, some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring.     50    They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle (战争)for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.    51    

A. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly (持续的) in danger. B. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky (冒险的) activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. C. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. D. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure (冒险). E. It is said that about 2 million people around world have now tried bungee jumping.
