Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the
suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother
was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New
York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys
lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went
through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If
there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.
Suddenly, thr doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block
nearby.
“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.
I asked him to repeat.
“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my
father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your
shoes.”
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him
devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to
wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after
another.
When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line
against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for
the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite
offer,”If there’s anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that
suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during
the funeral. If the person asks,”How did you know I needed that one?” I reply,”Because a
man once cleaned my shoes.”
34.The writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because _____.
5A.she couldn’t do it on her own
B.she was too sad to do anything
C.she wanted to take everything to Seattle
D.she was not good at housework

A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.
B.The couple bathed the children.
C.They cleared the supper dishes
D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.
36.If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?
A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.
B.Look after her friend’s young children.
C.Take her friends’s dog to the boarding kennel.

In 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) from a high camp
at 27,000 feet. He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers
had managed to do. He’d failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning
back.
He left his high camp at 1 a.m., using a headlamp to find his way in the dark. He’d
already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in
preparation for the Everest climb. He’d also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and
separation from friends and family.
6“The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as it, in fact, lowers the altitude
(海拔) of the mountain by several thousand feet,” says Viesturs. “If I couldn’t climb
Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldn’t climb it.”
“You have to be physically fit,” he says. “But the mental (精神的) part is big. It’s
so hard to keep going above 20,000 feet.”
While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step. He would
tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead. Then he’d find another rock, then
another. Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet. “It was one of
those dream-come-true moments,” Viesturs says.
Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest
and of the world’s 13 other highest mountain, all without oxygen. He helps people find the
strength to overcome their difficulties.
Finally, in his words, “The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go, when to stay,
and when to turn back. We should go step when working toward our dreams. There are no
shortcuts to the top.”
38.What does the article mainly talk about?
A.Viesturs’ first successful climb of Mount Everest.
B.Viesturs’ physical preparation for climbing Everest.
C.The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.
D.The lessons that Viesturs can share with others.
39.What do we know about Ed Viesturs?
A.As soon as he reached Mount Everest, he set out for Everest climb.
B.He’s been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountain without oxygen.
C.Well prepared, he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest .
D.So far, he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen.
40.The first “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) __________.
A.being physical fit B.climbing Everest
B. C.using oxygen when climbing D.climbing without oxygen
41.Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph?
A.I like being near the top of a mountain. B.Life is like climbing a mountain.
C.You never climb the mountain twice. D.Over every mountain there is a path.

Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the
cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed
denial:”I didn’t do it!”
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral
(道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to
get there.
Early 2017 Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48
children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl
doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying
about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the
children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?
The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in
agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in
the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds
were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that
the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.
Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s
confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you
feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies
is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
42.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean?
A. 委屈 B. 责备 C. 否认 D. 拒绝
43.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________.
A.kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”
B.it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth
C.it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth
D.all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act
44.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?
A.Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.
8C.The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime
D.The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
45.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?
A.Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B.Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C.Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.
D.Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision, big or small. Most decisions
aren’t life-changers. But often, the decision isn’t between this or that; it’s between
acting or not. If this challenges you, here are some tips.
Jog or ride a bike to nowhere. Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar. Walk
down every street or path you can find until you lose your way. Then, see where you end up.
Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going? Try to lose yourself more often.
It’ll make you better at making a decision.
Sit outside without any technology for an hour. Let yourself get bored. Can you hear the
birds singing? The wind blowing? Yourself breathing? Try to do this once a week, then every
other day, then every day. One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is
9that we keep getting attracted to new things. A break from the noise will lead you to the
decision you need to make.
Do something that scares you. People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes. Tell
someone you love them. Laugh out loud in a public place. Give a speech to a stranger. And
when you do this, remember how you feel When you’re sacred by a risky situation the next
time, tell yourself that you didn’t lie. And try to trust the process in the future.
Some of these things may seem silly, but the more you do them, the more you’ll control
yourself. It doesn’t matter where you’re going. Just go. Once you start moving, you can
always change direction.
