2 . A while back I caught a news report on something called ―couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.

However, I was intrigued. I decided to find it out. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.

If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me a warm welcome and walking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.

If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What encouraged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.

Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.

1. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in the second paragraph?

A．relaxed.	B．bored.
C．interested.	D．pleased.

2. What can we know about Ari?

A．He was reserved like most Finns.

B．He talked less but he was friendly.

C．He treated the author as a friend.

D．He saw off the author at the train station.

3. Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?

A．To take an adventure with strangers.

B．To exchange houses for a short time.

C．To learn more about others’ family lives.

D．To enrich their own lives by helping others.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A．Travel on Trust and Couches

B．A Free Travel in Finland

C．Experiences in Strangers’ Houses

D．A Plan for Couch Surfing

4 . It takes a special person to see a life in danger and go out of his way to make a difference. But that’s exactly what Kole Devisscher did when he_______the thin ice of a river to save 10-year-old Chartrand from _______.

The young man was_______for his bravery by MP Joy Smith. Smith_______him with a certificate and said Devisscher would be nominated (提名) for the Governor General’s Medal of Bravery.

Describing the _______ , Devisscher said he thought it was something _______when he saw a blue jacket in the river. _______for Chartrand, the teenager decided to back up his truck and take another look.

When Devisscher realized somebody was_______in the cold water, he immediately took_______. “I got out of the truck and grabbed the tow strap (牵引绳) from the backseat.” explained Devisscher.

“He couldn’t quite grab onto the rope because his hands were already turning blue. Then I made a loop on the hook and got him to put it around his shoulders.”

Devisscher’s dad, Gerry, says his son remembered some of the________he learned while snowmobiling over the years. “He was listening. He just couldn’t refuse to________it. He wanted to help, ________at that time I was nervous he went out there.”

To honour Devisscher’s ________ and to thank him for saving her son, the mother of the boy gave Devisscher Nathaniel’s eagle feather.

“When he called, saying he________ someone, it didn’t sink in at first. Today’s the first time I’ve heard the whole________.”

“It’s just________that a young man like Kole stopped... He got him out of the river and he calmed him,” MP Smith said at the presentation ceremony.

“I think he is an outstanding young man, and all of Canada should be________of what he’s done.”

Devisscher said he just________ others would do the same. “It feels good, not everybody gets this ________. It’s pretty awesome,” said Devisscher. “I hope someone else would do that for me if I was under the same________.”

5 . I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness, but when it came to actually putting the letter into the mailbox. I_______. I couldn't do it. I suddenly felt a sense of_______and insecurity (不安)．

The letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in_______on Facebook. For months, I read about what she set down on her Facebook page, which helped me to live my life differently. Her volunteer (志愿者) work wasn't huge._______，she was doing small, local good deeds. Gradually, she changed my views on the world and for some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example_______influenced me.

I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not enough for such an important thankyou. That's why I ended up_______the letter. But now here I was, standing before the mailbox, unable to put the envelope inside. What was stopping me? It suddenly hit me that I was_______of being too nice. I guess I felt strange because it wasn't like she was my best friend or a relative. Maybe my_______was too heartfelt. Thinking this over, I put the envelope in the mailbox_______.

Weeks later I received a message from her. It turned out she was going through a hard time and my note________a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was playing such a big________in others' life.

Not only did this letter make her happier, but her response to it brightened my world and________my level of happiness as well. I was so excited that it had such a great influence on her that I decided to write a(n)________letter to someone each month. Now it's easier for me to________the goodness in others and be more________for this beautiful life I'm living.

6 . In the mad rush of day-to-day living, we can often forget to find opportunities for our families to relax and have fun together. But having fun is an essential part of growing up. It’s also critical toward building a strong family.     1    

It builds family bonds. The family that plays together stays together. Family bonds are built when you do something together that is simply fun. These bonds can last a lifetime.     2     Family board game night or a trip to the ice cream shop for Friday night dessert are excellent examples. These are the good times and memories that your children will carry with them forever and can even help them deal with more challenging times in their lives.

    3     The more time a family takes to have fun and enjoy life, the more the kids can discover. Even something as simple as going for a walk can reveal something new. Family fun provides opportunities to mix in a little learning. Consider what you can discover from a family visit to a pond or by building a Lego metropolis together in the basement.

It promotes social skills. The ability to have fun and be fun is an attractive personality trait that children can benefit from in social interactions.     4     They will pick up more quickly on necessary social cues (线索) and will aid them throughout their lives. Examples of these social cues include knowing when they’ve gone too far or when someone else is no longer having fun.     5    

A．It expands the mind.

B．It increases children’s creativity.

C．The following are why family bonds are important.

D．Fun also helps build important family traditions.

E．It helps children build social skills to make friends or deal with new situations.

F．Here are some more reasons why having fun together as a family is essential.

G．The children will also be able to successfully communicate when they’re ready to move

7 . In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.

We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.

Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.

Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.

As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?

As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder, I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.

In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

8 . The bond between mother and daughter is irreplaceable.

She worked as a nurse for almost a decade _________ making the decision to attend the medical school at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences. _______, her daughter Jasmine attended Louisiana State University School of medicine.

At first, it was _______ for them to live and study so far apart from one another. “I thought initially it was hard because my mom and I had always been really ________ so I had to get used to the ________,” Dr. Jasmine Kudji explains to Afro Tech. Although the experience was difficult, it also had ________ results. “Sometimes people struggle to find someone who ________ their struggles, so for that person to be my mom was extremely helpful,” she adds.

After years apart, both Cynthia and her daughter earned their M. D. degree. Then on “Match Day” when recent med school graduates ________ the results of their residency (高级专科住院生实习期) applications, Cynthia and Jasmine learned that they were ________ in the same hospital.

10 . One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room. I went out there where he was _______up and down restlessly.

Tim wore a black raincoat that was_____ all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing（扭）his hands nervously. He had _________his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident. Now he was fourteen and in family care.

I looked at Tim. He was very ______and depressed. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we _______, Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit. I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't _______ back, but he didn't look at me either.

“Come back next week, if you like, ”I said. I ____ a bit. Then I said, “I know it hurts. ”

He came, and I _____ we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon in _______and without making any eye contact. It's not easy for me to _______ in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n） ______ to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my ______. But why did he ______look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his _______with, ”I thought.

One afternoon. Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more ________and his motions more lively.

Some months later, I sat staring at Tim's head, _____he was bent over the chessboard. I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing process. ______, he looked up at me. “It's your _______ ,” he said.

After that day, Tim started talking.

Maybe I gave Tim something, but I learned a lot from him. He showed me how one without any words can________ another person. All it_______is a hug，a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature and an ear that listens.
