Two Dollars
One pleasant new-year morning, Edward washed and dressed himself quickly. He wanted to be first to wish a
happy new year.
He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he
met.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new dollars.
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen
at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart and went to buy the books.
As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family, the father, mother and three children shivering（颤抖) with
cold.
"I wish you a happy new year," said Edward, as he was passing on happily. The man shook his head.“You do not belong to this country,” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand.
But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children. Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble.
These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.
He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife. They said nothing, but Edward saw
the gratitude（感激）in their eyes.
When Edward came back home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but
quickly looked up.
“I haven't bought any books,”said he，“I gave my money to some poor people who seemed to be very hungry.
I think I can wait for my books till next new year. Oh, you hadn't seen how glad they were to receive the money!”
,
“My dear boy " said his father,“here is a whole bundle（捆）of books. I give them to you, more as a
reward for your goodness of heart than as a new-year gift. l saw you give the money to the poor family. Be ready to
help people who need help and every day of your life will be a happy new year.”

There are many interesting books available in libraries or bookstores, but sometimes people feel confused in
finding a good book for them to read. If you are facing this problem, you should not feel confused. In this article,
you will find some solutions in choosing a good book to read. Here they are.
First, you can start to find out some books that are included in the top selling lists. Usually, those books are
very good either in their contents（内容) or in the writing styles (风格）of the authors. A lot of people read those
books because they are really good books to read. So, you might find those interesting things offered by those
books as well.Second, you can ask recommendations（推荐）or opinions from salespersons in the bookstore. Tell them
what kind of books you are interested in. Usually, they will have some recommendations of good books for you.
You can also visit some libraries and ask the opinions of the librarians.
Third, you can read the book in a glance. You can start to look through your chosen book then you can go on
to some first paragraphs of the book. Sometimes, you can easily make sure whether you are going to enjoy the book
or not from its first page.
Fourth, you can also ask some of your friends about their favorite books. You can ask them to tell you about
the general contents of the books or about the writing styles. If you are interested in the books recommended by
your friends, you can list them on your must-buy books. However, you should not ask the whole stories or contents
of the books. Sometimes, getting more information of book contents might make you lose interest in those books.
It is quite easy, right? Now you should not worry about getting a good reading for your spare time anymore.
You can easily get it by using those ways.

A. read the book quickly B. buy the book directly

Is Technology Changing the Way Kids Develop Relationships?
Technology is redefining（重新定义）the meaning of relationships. For example, technology has enabled
people who have never met nor will ever meet to call themselves friends. It makes the line between connections
and real friends become unclear.
Because of technology’s omnipresence（遍在；无所不在)in the lives of most children, it is shaping how
children feel about and develop relationships without fully consideration of the influence that it has on children’s
relationships. Because of this growing influence of technology on them, children need to really understand wherethey are learning about relationships and whether what they are learning is healthy and will lay the groundwork for
a future of positive relationships.
It’s necessary to recognize these changes because relationships play such a central role in who children
become and the quality of the lives they lead. Relationships provide children with a foundation of values, love,
security, and support. The quality of children’s early relationships acts as the model on which their future
relationships are modeled and built. Later relationships with peers, teachers, and other influential people shape
children’s beliefs about the world and the direction that their lives will take. In fact, there is no aspect(方面)of
children’s lives that remains untouched by relationships.
At the same time, many of the changes in relationships caused by technology have been positive. Technology
has also been a good thing to keep already-established（建立） relationships. If you have family or friends who
live at a great distance, they no longer have to rely on the telephone or snail mail to stay connected. They can
contact through email, texting and so on.
As with all value-neutral（价值中立的）advancements, there are both benefits and costs, positive uses and
unhealthy misuses. My worry focuses on how children come to define relationships and the role that technology is
playing in that process(过程). For example, I hear many young people talking about all of the “friends” they have
made on the web. There’s no doubt that the web has enabled people everywhere to connect and communicate like
never before, but I would argue that connection alone can not make a relationship.
30. The line between connections and real friends has become unclear because ________.
A. technology brings new change
B. it’s difficult to find real friends
C. it’s wise to connect with strangers
D. technology gives kids more free time
31. What do you know about children’s relationships from the passage?
.
A. Relationships are easy to develop for children
B. Children can understand relationships correctly.
C. Relationships connect with every part of children’s lives.
D. Children’s later relationships are more important than their early ones.
32. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. children can’t make friends on the web
B. technology is changing children’s lives
C. technology can’t cause positive influenceD. children dislike the growing influence of technology
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To list the changes in relationships caused by technology.
B. To introduce a new type of relationships in kids’ daily life.
C. To tell the kids to develop their relationships with the help of the technology.
D. To remind the kids of thinking about the influence of technology on their relationships.
四、阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
My name is Anne. When I was 9 years old, I received my first handmade card. It was from one of my
classmates. He had just moved to New Jersey from South Korea. He had a hard time adjusting(适应)to his new
school, and I helped him. He wanted to show his appreciation（欣赏，感激）but didn’t know how to express
himself. So he made me a card. It was a folded (折叠的)piece of paper from his notebook, with a picture he’d
drawn on the front. There were only a few sentences inside but those words meant a lot to me at the time.
Since then, I have known how special handwritten cards can be. They take time and effort to make and feel
very personal. Like photographs, cards can be stored and looked back on. I think you can make your own unique
（独一无二的）card with supplies you have at home. Or you can buy a card from a store. The most important
thing of a card is the message you write inside.
Do you know how to write the message in a handwritten card? The following steps can give you some help.
The first step is to think of a person for whom you’d like to make a card. Will you give it to a friend or a
family member? Or is it for someone you don’t know that well but who might need a little encouragement?
Next, think about what kind of card you’d like to make. There are many types: Thank-you cards,
congratulations cards, holiday cards, and I’m-sorry cards are just a few.
Now it’s time to gather your thoughts. For me, this is the hardest but most rewarding part. A big tip for writing
a card is to keep the person you’re making it for in mind while you work. You can ask yourself some questions
while writing: What are your favorite memories of that person? What do you appreciate most about him or her?
Your words can be as sweet or as funny as you want. If they’re personal, the message will be special.
Last, sign your name at the bottom. Don’t forget to include the date, in case the recipient keeps the card toreread sometime far in the future.
.
It can be hard to put your feelings into words But getting a handwritten card or letter can make someone
who needs it feel appreciated.
