Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood. Homeless shelters，childrens hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of ones time.Volunteering in Homeless SheltersThere is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home. According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter. Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.Volunteering in Childrens HospitalsEvery child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons. By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff. Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families. Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patients quality of care. Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms.Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have no living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents. Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone elses life. Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed. Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.21According to the passage，what can a volunteer do in nursing homes?AVisiting the sick children.BPicking up the donated food. CHelping with the gift cart.DPlaying cards with a lonely old man.22What can we learn about the volunteering?AYou can only volunteer during the holidays.BYou can help prepare meals in a nursing home. CIt is easy to find a homeless shelter to volunteer.DHelp is needed everywhere in a homeless shelter.23In a childrens hospital，which of the following is true?AOver 50% of those living there do not have relatives.BA personal visit brings happiness to a sick boy.CChildren live a lonely and frightening life.DChildren love listening to volunteers reading.BIn China, if you are not married by the time you are 30, you are in for trouble: social blame and pressure from family and friends can get you down. And if you are a woman, its even worse. Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they cant find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasnt come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage. “Many people think marriage is a duty-to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.24. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. marriage is a duty to society B. people should get married before 30 years old C. late marriage should be respected D. women should get married earlier than men25. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because _.A. she doesnt think he is the right man she wants B. he is either too old or too youngC. he is either important or little learnedD. he doesnt have good manners26. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” refer to _.A. interested in B. satisfied with C. worried about D. likely to suffer27. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage? A. In China，one may face social blame and family pressure if one hasnt got married by 30.B. Miss Kates parents are always worried about her marriage.C. Miss Kate wont compromise if she cant have her ideal marriage.D. Miss Kate wants to marry a worthy young man.CMo Yan, a Chinese writer has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday.

Running away from your problems is the worst thing you can do to deal with the challenges you are faced with. Here are some tips for you on learning how to deal with everyday challenges. Please bear in mind that you shouldnt overact when coming across challenges. Overacting to a problem will cause you to make bad decisions. 37 Next time you are faced with a challenge, stay calm so you can make smarter decisions. 38If you cannot accept reality, you will feel very frustrated with your life.

Many people make a habit of blaming others for all their problems. They fail to take full responsibility for the decisions they have made in life. The more you blame others for the challenges you are faced with, the more you will make people dislike you and not want to be around you. 39Dont compare your lifestyle with others. Of course, it is really difficult not to compare ourselves with other people. However, the more often we do that, the more frustrated we will feel. 40The key thing to remember is that you create your own story and success in life. A. Accept the reality of the present moment.
