That may sound a bit dramatic（戏剧性的）, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents（居民） while were there.You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her great days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.Even the residents who dont have amazing memories make the experience meaningful . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldnt think of much about her past, but she told me shed never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that its the little things that make life worth living. Thats something I wont forget anytime soon.If theres one thing Ive realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, its that presence just being there means more than anything to many of the residents. And no matter how busy our lives are, theres always time to make someones day.For me, it feels great to be a source(源泉) of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, thats all that matters.Its easy to feel like you dont have anything in common with the elderly especially when youre a teenager. But thats not true at all.I hate to be overly clichd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, its important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often get something from teenagers too.（1）What do the writer and his classmates often do when they visit Cantata?a. play board games and cards with the residentsb. do some cleaning for the residentsc. listen to the residents talk about their memoriesd. watch movies and Tvshows with the residentsA . a,bB . a,cC . b,dD . c,d（2）With the mention of his visit to Mrs Robinson, the writer wants to A . show what Mrs Robinsons life like at CantataB . show how he developed a friendship with Mrs RobinsonC . show what a difference someones presence makes to the residents at CantataD . give an example showing that most of the residents at Cantata have amazing memories to share（3）What has the writer learned from his three years of visiting Cantata?A .

Chinese history says that the Chinese had chopsticks as far as the Xia Dynasty(朝代)(about 4, 00 years ago). In the Spring and Autumn Period(时期) copper and iron chopsticks appeared. With the Han Dynasty lacquered(上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. Today we have chopsticks made of plastics. The most expensive are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone.Chopsticks tell Chinese tradition in their way. In ancient (古代的) times the rich used hard green stone or gold chop-sticks to show their wealth(富有). In history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous(有毒的). It was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn colour. Chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “Chopsticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”!Tianzhu chopsticks from Hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from Shanyang of Shanxi Province, and Beijings chopsticks are well-known.Many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside(一边) their knives and forks in favour(爱好) of chopsticks in China. Chopsticks appeared in the old Chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them. In China, chopsticks are connected with good luck. So on the countrys New Years Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at dinners as a way of making requests for luck.（1）Chopsticks have their beginnings in .A . ChinaB . many Asian countriesC . African countriesD . all over the world（2）Copper and iron chopsticks appeared in .A . the Xia DynastyB . the Spring and Autumn PeriodC . the Han DynastyD . the Tang Dynasty（3）The history of chopsticks can tell us .A . something about Chinese foodB . nothing but how many kinds of chopsticks are used in China.C . about the lives of Chinese kingsD . much about Chinese way of life in the past（4）Many Westerners in China like to use .A . chopsticksB . their knivesC . their forksD . chopsticks and knives and forks at the same time（5）Chinese use chopsticks .A . to lift food to the mouth onlyB . to teach others a lesson onlyC . in many other ways besides taking foodD . in many other ways except taking food4. （10分）根据短文内容，判断正误。Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea, red is a color of death? That is why you should not pack gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.What about western countries? In western countries, the color of packing paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a western person you dont know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the persons religion. When choosing a gift for a Muslim or Jewish friend, you should never get good food including pork or things made from pigskin. Another thing that you shouldnt get for a Muslim person is alcohol.（1）Red is a lucky color all over the world.（2）Yellow roses are a symbol of love.（3）When you give gifts to a foreigner, you should remember his religion.（4）Three kinds of color are mentioned in this passage.（5）We can give a Muslim friend a bottle of alcohol as a gift.三、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)5. （5分）补全对话A: Welcome to our talk show, Mr. Green.B: Thank you.
