At that time my family lived a stones 40 from Ismails. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hinduwe just 41 our differences. Perhaps，our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 42 or otherwise.We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we d 43 the countryside on our bicycles，hoping to 44 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town.

But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话）.ks5uThe first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained 10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing 10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least 190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news, Claudia Neumann, the boys mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing, Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know. However, he has told his reporters not to look for the citys hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.56.

B.Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy. C.Unknown Hero Spreads Love in EnvelopesD.Robin Hood Returns to the CityBAt exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival, said Laura calmly, if I am going to ask to be released (免除）from ray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my fathers wishes too much. ” His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”Mine?” he said in great surprise. ”What reason could I have for withdrawing?”A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. There is a change in me. ” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side. “What change? he asked, trying to appear calm. When the promise was made two years ago, she said, “ my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?“I wish you to understand, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things, he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more. I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,，she added quietly. No. You have said enough to make it the 高考资源网est wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.60.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. Angry.B. Calm.C. Nervous.D.

But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a global-positioning something or other thats supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store werent much help. They couldnt understand why someone wouldnt want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive . and the contract (合同）lasted for two years! Id almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.67.Mirror neurons can explain _.A.why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late68.The underlined word triggered in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up69.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _.A.relate to human behavior and interactionB.control human physical actions and feelingsC.result in bad behavior and social disordersD.determine our knowledge and language abilities70.What is the passage mainly about?A.Ways to find mirror neurons.B.Problems of mirror neurons.C.Existence of mirror neurons.D.Functions of mirror neurons.EHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children、 welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会）is seeking to reduce the s
