Mom’s Recipe (食谱) for Life
I have a lot of Mom’s recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put. But the recipe I treasure (珍
爱) most is not in the box. Instead, mom lived this recipe all of her life.
My mother grew up in a small town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather told me that my mom
regarded(把……当做) everyone as her friend in that community. She had this attitude (态度) all her life.
As a teen, I was embarrassed (尴尬) every time when my mother talked to strangers (陌生人) and gave a
smile to everyone in the store or on the bus. Almost all of them responded (回应) with a bright smile of their own.
Some spoke, others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.
One day, Mom took the senior (老年人) bus to the shop. It was her first time to take the senior bus. When she
came back, I asked her how it went.
“Ha!” She said, “I got on that bus and guess what I saw: Thirteen old people and no one spoke on the bus.”
“Oh, did you talk with them?”I asked.
“Of course.” she said. “When I got on the bus I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn’t it a wonderful day?’ I
greeted them happily and before long the whole group was smiling and talking to one other. The bus became more
than just transportation (交通工具)”.That is really amazing.
When I was free, I went shopping with Mom, I watched as she smiled and talked with strangers. Once Mom
smiled at them and started a conversation, they could talk to her friendly. My mother didn’t embarrass me any
longer. I found myself admiring her.She’s been gone for ten years but I’ve carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first
and all those people responded. My mother taught me by example. She’d given me a recipe for life.

I Will Think of It
“I will think of it.”It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We
cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, but they have great power(力量).
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He
began to think. While trying to find out why the apple fell, he discovered(发现)how the earth, sun, moon, and stars
are kept in their places. When a boy named James Walt watched the lid(盖子)of the tea kettle(水壶)moving up
and down, he began to think. He wanted to find out why the steam(蒸汽)in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From
that time, he went on thinking and thinking, and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机)so
much that it could do the work of many horses easily.
A young man named Galileo was once standing in a big hall when he saw a chandelier(吊灯)moving back
and forth. This set him thinking. He thought and wanted to find the period of the swing(摆动周期)and it led to the
invention(发明)of the pendulum(钟摆).
James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he started to think.” I can make a clock,”
he thought. But how could he make the clock? He thought and thought, then he tried many times. At last he made a
wooden clock. When he became a man, he went to London to live and made a lot of speeches there. Some of the
great men in England listened to his speeches. His motto was, “I will think of it,” and he made his thoughts useful
to himself and the world.When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t give up. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to solve
the problem.

When most people imagine (想象) a classroom, they think of older people teaching younger ones. But when it
comes to learning about high technology devices (高科技设备), the opposite can often be true. That is what is
happening through a programme in Maryland. The 50+ Center gives free technology (科技) classes to people aged
50 and older. The teachers are often teenagers (青少年) and even younger children.
Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She takes the class to learn how to use her iPad. Eleven-year-old Peter teaches
Ms. Stafford. He says that patience (耐心) is very important when working with old people. “You have to be really,
really patient, because some of them may not know as well as others, so you must be really patient.”
Marian is the director (负责人) of the 50+ Center. She added (增加) the technology classes last year because
the center received some iPads from local people. Since then, about 100 old people took the classes to learn how to
use iPads. The technology classes are important for them to connect (联系) with the world around them. She also
says this programme can be helpful for the economy (经济). “The number of people over 60 is growing fast and it
gives a good chance to buy online. About a third of the Internet users are over 50. As these old people get more
excited about using the iPad, they can also go to the shop to buy the things they search online. So the economy
starts to boom .”Amy is a 17 year-old teacher for the technology classes. She says she also learns a lot from helping old people.
“I’ve learned a lot on how to connect with people and work with them. I’m usually a shy (害羞的) person. Now
I’ve learned to be more outgoing (开朗).”
Amy’s teacher says young people like Amy get more than just social (社会) skills from teaching old people.
“Young people are trying to find their way and find out how they add value (价值) to life, this is a good chance for
them to practise their skills and connect with the world.”
30. What do we know about the technology classes from the passage?
A. Teachers of the classes are more than 50 years old.
B. The old people can learn to use iPads from the classes.
C. People should pay some money for the classes.
D. The old people know new technology better than their teachers.
31. Why are the technology classes very important?
A. Because young teachers can teach some life skills to their students.
B. Because young teachers can learn to use the new technology.
C. Because old people can learn skills and connect with the world around.
D. Because old people can learn to be patient when they have the classes.
32. The word “boom” in Paragraph 3 probably means__________.
A. turn cold B. get lower
C. become smaller D. grow fast
33. What does the writer think of the technology classes?
A. They are good for both the young and the old people.

四、阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
The Billion (十亿) Tree Campaign (运动) started on 8 November 2006 by The United Nations Environment
Programme to help care for the Earth by planting trees all over the world. It encourages people to plant trees all
year long. It is the biggest tree planting activity in the history of the world. Over a billion trees have been planted in
just the first five months of 2007!
Trees are important. Without trees we humans would not live on the earth. Trees give us so much! The air we
breathe is improved (改善) by the trees. Some great medicine is from tree bark, leaves, twigs, and roots; we usewood to build houses; we make food from the apple, pear, banana and orange trees and so on.
①Trees Give Us Oxygen (氧气)
We could not live as we do if there were no trees. A big tree gives us as much oxygen in a season as 10 people
need in a year. The forest can also be a huge filter (过滤器) that cleans the air we breathe.
②Trees slow Water Rum of and Reduce (减少) Noise
Flood (洪水) can be reduced by a forest Or by planting tee. A full-grown tree can hold back more than 1,000
gallons of water. So the groundwater can be stored (存储). Trees can also stop noise as stone walls. When you live
near the freeway or the airport, the trees around your house can reduce most of noises from freeways and airports.
,
③Trees Clean the Soil (土壤) Water and the Air
Trees can either store (储存) harmful (有害的) things or change the pollutant (污染物) into less harmful
forms. They can keep harmful things from running into the river. Trees can clean the air by taking in harmful things
and they can lower the temperature around.
There are even more benefits (好处) of planting trees. So “When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace
的
(和平 种子) and seeds of hope.” We need YOU to join us!
