1 . One afternoon, When I walked out the supermarket, I found an old man who struggled with two bags of food. It was very cold. I guessed he must have a long walk ahead of him. I stopped the car near him and put the window down to ask if he needed a ride. With a little hesitation, he did accept.
After he got settled in the car, my husband and I introduced ourselves, but he didn’t say a word. During the drive, we tried to make him more comfortable with some small talk. His home was more than two miles away, so it would have been a difficult walk for anyone, let alone an old man carrying bags.
When we pulled up outside his door, the first thing he asked is “How much money do you want?” “Nothing, we just wanted to help,” we answered. The shock and relief on this man’s face was actually sad, because we should be able to live in a world where it isn’t shocking to have someone help you out of the goodness of their heart without expecting something in return. He was overwhelmed. Tears in his eyes, he said “Thank you!” over and over to me after realizing we truly didn’t want anything, which made me feel proud.
My only words to him were, sir, I hope this helped you out and have a good week. These simple acts of kindness are the types of kindnesses that anyone, anywhere can do. It doesn’t cost a cent. Just be aware of the world happening around you. There is always someone who needs something — a door held, a bag carried... the opportunities are endless.

Since I was a child, I enjoyed listening to music especial the cartoon music. Though I’m not good at it, I often lose me in it. When I am in the trouble, music can make me calming down. When I am very tired, they can make me comfortable. When I am angry about something, it can make me happy. Listen to music keeps me in a good mood, that is good for my health. Do you like listening to music? If not, I hope you can have a try and you will find it good and amazed. Trust me and you will be happy every days.
Last week I had a holiday from work, but
One week by myself! Would I be bored? Quite the opposite! I was able to do whatever I wanted. I
5 . How to Avoid an Internet Addiction
While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full blown Internet addiction. If you fear that you may lose interest in other aspects of your life because you prefer to be on the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction.
Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Make sure not to turm it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends orask for help in person.
Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer shortcut on your desktop.
| A．Use an alarm clock or timer. |
| B．Make a small list of what you want to do within that time. |
| C．When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it. |
| D．Luckily, there are ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer. |
| E．This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time. |
| F．More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet. |
| G．This will stop you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page. |
6 . When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? You probably just throw them away. This has led to the modern nickname: the throwaway culture. There are many reasons for this. In some areas, it’s difficult to find people who can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. And sometimes it s often easier to just buy a new one.
In 2009 Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafes: places where people can take damaged items (物品). There they will find tools and volunteer experts who are willing to help with repairs.
Postma’s first Repair Cafe opened on Oct.18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the cafe spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma set up the Repair Cafe Foundation. This organization guides those hoping to begin their own neighborhood repair group. Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings held once a month. Everything is free, but donations are thankfully accepted.
The cafes not only provide help with repairs, but they also strengthen community ties. Neighbors get to know one another as they work together on projects. In addition, valuable knowledge is passed along and remembered. Items are kept rather than thrown away. If a broken item weighs a kilo, it’s been estimated (估计) that 2,000 Repair Cafes prevent 35,000 kilos of trash every month. That adds up to about 420,000 kilos per year!
Ginko Lee is the organizer for a repair group in Pasadena, California. In an interview, she described how exciting it is watching people who really want to help one another. She has often heard visitors say,“This is the kind of world I want to live in!” Ms. Lee said,“Everyone is a giver and a receiver in Repair Cafes.”

7 . Kong Ziyue, a brave 11-year-old boy, put out a forest fire when he was spending Spring Festival holiday at home in a village in Henan Province.
Kong was hanging out with his friends when they saw black smoke rising from the forest outside the village. They discovered flames when they arrived. As there were many dry leaves and weeds on the ground, the fire began to spread.
“You look after your sister, let me put out the fire, or all of the poplar trees will be damaged,” Kong told Xia Ming, his friend. Grabbing a rag on the ground and starting to put out the fire, Kong spent about 30 minutes putting out the fire on his own. “Kong fell over accidentally and even burnt the palm on his right hand,” said Xia. “If I wasn’t looking after my sister, I would have definitely helped him put out the fire.”
Kong’s father was proud of his son’s bravery but he also reminded his son to call 119 — the number for the fire service in China — first if he discovered any fire. When interviewed days later, Kong explained the reason why he decided to put out the fire on his own: “I thought if I called the firefighters or other adults for help, I was afraid that most of the trees would be burnt down before they arrived.”
Kong’s brave action won praise from the local government and school.
However, an expert in fire control believes that Kong’s actions shouldn’t be encouraged. “It was pretty moving that the young kid had the courage to put out a fire. Kong’s brave actions should be praised by the local government but should not be encouraged, because it was too dangerous for young kids to put out fires and they might get hurt when doing it.”

| A．A youth magazine. | B．A news report. |
| C．A novel. | D．A teenager story book. |

Dear Mrs. Green,
I'm writing to let you to know that I can’t attend class for the following week because I’ve had accident and hurt my back.
I take medicine for the pain, but I can’t get up and walk around much. The doctor said I should stayed in bed and rest as much as possibly. I hope to be back in class in May 12th. Until then, I think I will be studied at home.Could you tell me the learning tasks and assignments I need to finish during this time such that I can try to catch up with my classmate?
Thank you for you understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
