cold winter dayA woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）“Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven ticketsOne after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator: “Practice random（随意的） kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from homeWhen it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down“I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporterAlice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in MarinIt was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Heres the idea,” Anne says“Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies（想象） include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old ladyAnne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spreadIf you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to

need.BPeople who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.CPeople should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.DPeople who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.B Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weightResearchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel fullHowever, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to DrJoseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life styleThey enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activitiesMercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually fullSo they keep eating long after the French would have stoppedIn addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the weekThe French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid foodToday she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habitsToday the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.61In what way are the French different from Americans according to DrJoseph Mercola?AThey go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.BThey squeeze eating between the other daily activities.CThey regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.DThey usually eat too much canned and frozen food.62This text is mainly the relationship between _.AAmericans and the French Blife style and obesityCchildren and adults Dfast food and overweight63The text is mainly developed _.Aby contrast Bby spaceCby process Dby classification64Where does this text probably e from?AA TV interview BA food advertisement CA health report DA book reviewCAugust 1990，BostonDear Maya Shao-ming,To me, June 6, 1990 is a special dayMy long-awaited dream came true the minute your father cried, A girl! You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl to match our boyYou, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of another womans pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmotherSomewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant （怀孕） by a cook, probably a co-worker at her restaurantShe carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her lifeI like to think that my motheryour grandmotherloved me and fought to raise me on her own, but that the daily struggle was too hardWorn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage （M JLR） steps or somewhere elseI will probably never know the truthHaving a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secretOnce I was out of her life, it was as if I had never been bornAnd so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a family tree.Do they ever wonder if we exist?Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo coupleFed three square meals a day, I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offerbooks, music, education, church life and munity activitiesIn a family of blue-eyed blonds, though, I stood out like a sore thumbWhether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walkMoody and impatient, burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an easy child to loveMy mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and as women of strength in our own rightLacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my ownThe Asian American munity has helped me regain my double identity.But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the delicate details that give a person her originNevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name Siu Wai. Siu means little, and Wai means clever. Therefore, my baby name was Clever little one. Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?I lost my Chinese name for 18 yearsIt was Americanized for convenience to Sue. But like an ill-fitting coat, it made me unfortableI hated the nameBut even more, I hated being ChineseIt took many years to bee proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth-nameThat, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer youNot white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave（铺） the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for youYour name, Shao-ming, is very much like mineShao means little.
