To request Smile Cards, please fill out the form below. A volunteer will mail you an order of ten cards within
two weeks. Smile Cards are offered to anyone who requests them on a pay-it-forward basis. That means there is no
charge for a set of cards. Someone before you has paid for your cards, and you are invited to keep the chain going
and pay-forward whatever you wish for the next person! For special events or circumstances, you can also place a
large quantity of request.
Note: When using a Smile Card, remember not to just hand it out by itself. The idea is to do something kind
for someone and then leave the Smile Card behind, so that they know someone reached out to them, and that they
are invited to pay-forward the kindness and keep the ripples going!PLACE SMILE CARD ORDER NOW

Ida Nelson was relaxing herself in her sister’s sauna (桑拿室) when she heard the sound of a small airplane
circling the nearby airport.
It was 11: 30 at night in a remote village with a population of 70, and, as she told the newspaper reporter, “Anytime a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sauna, ran to
the window, and saw the problem — the airports runway lights were out. Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into
her jeep, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually.
“Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson told the reporter. Not this
time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission — it was a helicopter, there to transport a
seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in another city.
Nelson had a plan. Driving her jeep to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights on the road for the plane to
follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village
— 32 of them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas. Following directions
from the helicopter pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway. The helicopter made its final approach and,
guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately
took off again. Her illness was never publicly known, but she has since been recovered.
Without them, the girl might not have made it. However, for Nelson, it was only a small deed.
4. What problem did the helicopter encounter?
A. Its lights went out by accident.
B. It made noise as it ran out of fuel.
.
C It didn’t arrive at the scheduled time.
D. It could not spot the runway at night.
5. What does the underlined word “urgent” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. instant B. normal C. final D. impossible
6. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. The girl has been in the hospital since her illness was reported.
B. The creative thought and the sense of duty of Nelson led to the final landing.
C. The villagers gathered so quickly because they were awake and ready to help.
D. The helicopter was to transport the girl from the local hospital to another one.
7. What does this passage want to tell the readers?
A. No way is impossible to courage.
.
B A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A small act of kindness makes a big difference.
D. Where there is a wisdom, there is effectiveness.
CAs people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the
planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and
the popularity of brands of the cultivated (培育的) meat is rising. While there are a large number of plant-based
milk substitutes (替代品), none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, a food-tech company created real
dairy products (奶制品) without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal.
And it is very healthy. The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes the same as the real thing and they
hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese
and yogurt in addition to milk. “Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our
food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not a choice,” John said. “But today’s milk comes
with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destroying our planet, our health, and our animals, and is
simply not sustainable (可持续的) anymore.”
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows
add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as
well as pollute the air around them . Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪
肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production uses only 5 percent of the resources
and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish
this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
8. The food-tech company’s milk mentioned in the text differs from other milk substitutes in_______.
A. its various plant-based flavor B. it tastes the same as cow’s milk
C. its highest output from the farms D. its broad popularity home and abroad
9. What can we know from John’s words in paragraph 2?
A. Prices of cow’s milk are rising these days.
B. All the destructive dairy industries should be shut down.
C. The food-tech company was set up for animal protection.
D. The food-tech company aims to produce animal-free food.
10. What does the underlined word “them” probably refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Dairy cows. B. Dairy operations.
C. Climate changes. D. Greenhouse gases.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Healthier Milk B. New Milk Saves Planet
C. Fresher Milk, Better Future D. Making Milk without CowsD
There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of
things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation,
branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less
and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing
levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also
weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and
realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled
to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排 除) of others can hold back
your true spirit.
,
Generalists on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its
connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective into specific
fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so
much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your
interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor
Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by
the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese
philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the
interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad,
general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
12. What is good about being a generalist?
A. You don’t need to be pushed by society.
B. You will need to know less and less.
C. You know more about your occupation.
D. You can enjoy your life to the fullest.
13. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about specialists’ ______.
A. choices B. limitations C. regrets D. expectations
14. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________.A. is fully aware of his talent and ability
B. should love poetry and philosophy
C. brings knowledge of other fields to work
D. is a committed specialist in medicine
15. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A. Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
D. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.

How to Be a Good Listener
Whether you’re communicating in person or on the phone, being a good listener is an important part of any
healthy relationship. ____16____If you’ve wondered whether you could be a better listener, the answer is almost
certainly “yes”. Making sure the people in your life feel truly heard is something that you can improve upon.
You appear more interested when you invite the speaker to give explanations, by asking them things that need
more than a “yes” or “no” answer. “An open-ended question is an invitation for the other person to say more, and
continue going deeper into their train of thought, versus (与……相对比) a close-ended question that invites a factual
answer,” Dr. Bobby explains. ____17____
What you’re expressing through your body language is as important as what you say. It’s about looking in
someone’s eyes, smiling and nodding. Showing with your face that you’re following what someone is saying is really
important. ____18____Remember that looking into your laptop camera is like making eye contact, while breaking
it to look downward makes it appear that you’re doing something else.
____19____ “People can be considered as poor listeners when they don’t understand what the conversation is
actually about on a high level.” Dr. Bobby says. ____20____Maybe they’re really just wanting to express their bad
feelings, or talk about their day. So don’t try to give suggestions; just listen instead.
A. Listening requires looking at problems from other’s view.
B. In fact, people only want to get to know more about others.
C. This is equally key in virtual conversations on a video chat.
D. Sometimes, people simply want to talk about an unhappy situation.
E. This is something you can do to show that you’re really listening.F. Being a bad listener can break that person’s trust in your relationship.
G. Listening doesn’t always require offering solutions — quite the opposite, in fact.

Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life ____25____ than you are?
Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FOMO.
FOMO is a real ____26____ that over 75% of young people experience from time to time. Social media is the
cause, because it’s so easy today to ____27____ through to see what your friends are doing, eating, buying and
talking about. ____28____, it would be impossible to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social
media. Rather than ____29____ this basic truth, though, we often let FOMO lead us to compare our lives to those
of others on social media. This _____30_____ leaves us feeling dissatisfied. Why? We know all the aspects of our
lives—both good and bad. But all we see on social media are the _____31_____ moments others share. FOMO
makes us check social media more frequently, leading to a negative cycle that can be hard to _____32_____.

My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony.
When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On
that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was
absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to
grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them
for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking
care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with
patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony
floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement
operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height.
Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough
to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the
plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from
work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the
small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed
watching them every day. We the kids did too.
