Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel
for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He
came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was
extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange
city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again
from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to
pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said
they had found a pile of papers in their trash can (垃圾桶) that had been left out on
the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and
documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of
unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they hadfound mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a
half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone
number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also
restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send
a warm wish their way.

Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion.
It’s easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once
said, “Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are
only walls.”
In life, we’ll always be found doing any of these two things: either
making a living or making a difference. Pensions (养老金) and salaries stop
many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that
equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while
passion enables us to make a difference.
I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among
workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to
fuel our passion. The earlier you realize this basic truth of life, the more
clearly you’ll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.
The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) shows how meaningful it is
to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland
Sanders, didn’t realize this until he was given his first social security check of105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself
and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined
to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration
from his mother’s special recipe for fried chicken, he invented “finger-licking”
seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to
round up some investors and promote company’s rapid expansion to more than
6,000 locations. Sanders’ life pointed towards two facts about making a
difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two,
there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long
as it is your passion.
33. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?
A. By listing examples. B. By showing contrast.
C. By including a quote. D. By sharing his experience.
34. How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security
check?
A. Deeply moved. B. Pleasantly surprised.
C. Greatly relieved. D. Internally motivated.
35. What does the author suggest we do?
A. Pursue our passion. B. Get a well-paid job.
C. Secure our position. D. Get career guidance.
36. What is the best title for this text?
A. Passion or Pension? B. Following Your Dreams
C. Working for Pension D. To Work or not to Work?
D
Thanks to technology development, healthcare services are more accessible than
ever. Hospitals have committed to digitally enabled care going mainstream and more
health services have gone online than ever before. But are older people who don’t use
the Internet being left behind?
A study by Lancaster University found that lots of older people still avoid online
life completely or use the Internet only on occasion. There are various reasons why
older people don’t use the Internet. For many, a lack of confidence in their own ability
to use technology raised fears about security, particularly with online banking.
Whatever the reasons are, one of the biggest concerns about an offline older
generation is the likelihood that they will miss out on big developments in healthaccessibility, especially as many useful health services move online. Madeleine Starr
MBE, director of business development and innovation at Carers UK, said, “Though
many of us use technology in our everyday lives, seven out of ten people don’t yet
think of technology when it comes to caring. So, many are not yet realizing the
benefits of this technology. Accessing appointments, ordering prescriptions（处方）
or having consultations online can all help reduce visits to doctors and unplanned
hospital visits.”
In an aging society, the Internet can make a huge amount of difference to older
people requiring a bit of extra support and those caring for them. “Advice from
specialist websites or symptom checkers is great for those who are unsure if their
symptoms are cause for concern or find it difficult to get to a doctor’s appointment.
Technology is making it easier to offer remote care and support for older people,
helping them remain independent. The information on the Internet can prevent older
people from taking their health into their own hands,” adds Caroline Abrahams,
charity director at Age UK.
However, services need to remain accessible to those who aren’t online. While
it’s fine to support older people getting online, those who choose not to or cannot do
so, for whatever reason, should not be treated like second-class citizens. They must
still be able to access services in other ways that suit them.
37. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To list some important facts.
B. To raise a topic to be discussed.
C. To express the main idea of the text.
D. To introduce new advances in science.
38. What might be the big concern about offline older people?
A. They will suffer from terrible loneliness.
B. They will face risks from online banking.
C. They will fail to benefit from advanced online healthcare.
D. They will underestimate the role of modern technology in healthcare.
39. Why does the author mention Caroline Abrahams’ words in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the popularity of the Internet.
B. To reveal technology is developing very fast now.
C. To indicate the big challenges an ageing society faces.
D. To show the Internet is of great importance to older people.40. What is the message the author wants to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Health services should be offered in ways that suit different people.
B. Older people should be encouraged to place their health first.
C. Older people should receive some training in using the Internet.
D. Health services should get support from professionals.

With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not
book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s
comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as
pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car
accommodations, sell out very quickly. 41 But no matter when you travel,
it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and
letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual
reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 42 Then
you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for
your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a
blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 43 In the summer in
particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a
week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 44 Note: The times listed on the
schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 4 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch
the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600
(the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel
one mile (the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel
one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.
A. Train trips aren’t for impatient types.
B. You’ll have views from both sides of the train.
C. The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.D. That’s particularly true during busy summer months.
E. You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F. Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G. He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner.

的短文。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came
up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my very first bicycle. My
mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards
alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material
that he called, "Your own car." Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I
didn't think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals
(踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the
smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and
there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle
was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it.
Honestly, I was scared to try it.
After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all
about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very
manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.
The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody
not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud
to have such an omnipotent(全能的) person as my dad.
We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat
to make sure I didn't fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he
would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
