My first job out of high school was at a science research center. As ayoungster, I was pretty worried by the PhDs who worked there. But no one36 me more than the administrativesupervisor(行政主管).

She waspretty short but with a tough look that made me wish I didn’t have to pass her desk every morning. In the first month there, I don’t think I ever saw her37. I am not sure what encouraged me but one day I decided to bring her38. They werebright red anthuriums. As soon as I walked into the office, I handed her the flowers

anthuriums

(mind you, I was39inside). But then, came the most40smile. It spread across her face slowly and it seemed that the room got a bit41too. I remember my heart pounding out of my chest because I then42Ihad certainly not seen her smilebefore because I knew I would have43it if she had. She thanked me for the flowers anddid so every day for as long as theflowers lasted (anthuriums last a long time). From then on, she always greeted me with a smile.

Then, it became my44to make her smile every day. Some days I'd bring her something, I baked, tell a funny story, include her in a conversation, or invite her to lunch with ourcolleagues. 45things changed. She began to smile more and talk to people, even when she didn’t 46 __to. She just seemed lighter

Now you47think this story was about the administrative supervisor. It's not. It's about48it changed me. I used to be pretty49but after that day with the anthuriums, Istarted coming out of my shell too and I learned to smile more. I began to see people50, you know, actually \by looking deeper rather than accepting the superficial(表面的).

That experience taught me a lesson for life: A loving act of kindness has a beautiful way ofhelping both the receiver and the giver in ways that we cannot imagine.

四、阅读理解（共15小题，30分。）

第一节：阅读下面短文，从各题A 、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。（每小题2分） A

Writing across Time

When students today need to take notes, they simply reach for their ballpoint pens. For students in the past, writing instruments were not so convenient. Quill pens

Quill pens were made from large bird feathers. Students sharpened the quills with knives and then dipped them into pots of ink to write. The points needed constant re-sharpening and each dip of the quill provided only enough ink to write one word. Besides these problems, drops of ink often stained the page. Yet people used quill pens for more than a thousand years. Can you imagine writing with a quill pen? Brush pens

Chinese students traditionally used brush pens to practice writing characters. Unlike quill pens, brush pens had soft bristles that made smooth

[KS5UKS5UKS5U] lines. Students dipped their brush pens in a pool of ink on an inkstone and then wrote. Chalk

In the 19th and early 20 th centuries, when paper was not easily available, chalk was widely used in classrooms. Teachers wrote with chalk on blackboards while students practiced writing and maths on their own slates(石板). Fountain pens

Fountain pens were the first pens that stored ink inside, from where it Flowed through the metal tip or nib(笔尖) for writing. In the 19 th century, they finally replaced quills on school desks. However, even with fountain pens, ink still often spilt out, leaving stains everywhere. Ballpoint pens

Early ballpoint pens leaked and wrote poorly. Three inventors took almost sixty years to

finally solve these problems in the early 1950s. Today two of them, Hungarian journalist Josef Laszlo Biro and French Baron Bich, are known for making the ballpoint pen cheap and reliable. Biro and Bic pens are still hugely popular and useful today. 51. The passage mainly talks about______ A. the origins of writing instruments B. the quality of writing instruments C. the materials of writing instruments D. the development of writing instruments 52. What pens were the first to keep ink inside?

A. Quill pens. B. Brush pens. C. Fountain pens. D. Ballpoint pens 53. Biro and Bic pens______ A. cost less and work well B. save ink and paper C. leak when used D. write poorly

54. The author writes the passage to______ A. tell a story B. give advice C. offer an opinion D. provide information B

Video game addiction(上瘾) is not an official diagnosis(诊断)， but studies show that 8 percent of children are affected by the condition. Questions like \more addictive than others?\gaming?\

In the meantime, video games are being played more than ever before at home, at school, in Internet caf6s, on smartphones. In fact, a 2009 survey of about 9,000 0ntario students in Grades 7 to 12 suggests that more hours of \students every day.

Video gaming problems are often defined like gambling(赌博) addiction or alcoholism. Professor Edward Swing from Iowa State University authored a study that was published in the online journal Pediatrics and established a link between video game playing and attention problems in more than l,300 children aged eight to eleven. The findings, which were based on assessments by teachers, suggest that children who play video games for more than two hours a day, the maximum that is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, are l.5 to two times more likely to show attention problems.

According to Dr Brent Conrad, a clinical psychologist in Halifax who runs the website. TechAddiction.ca, most people can play video games without becoming addicted, just as most adults can drink alcohol on occasion without becoming addicted. Most gamers play within healthy limits, but for just under 10 percent of gamers who develop excessive gaming habits, levels and rewards that are achieved in the virtual world can become the first thing in life that hinders their success and development in the real world.

Thirty-seven-year-old Wilson Wu, of Toronto, admits that he is \game, which is equipped with a large multi-player mode. He started playing the game at university in 1995 and now spends five to seven hours a day in virtual reality. \then logging on to check email often leads to playing the game,\means I don't have time for other things like grocery shopping or cleaning the apartment.\Researchers point out that gaming against others in a multi-player mode is more likely to devolve into compulsive behavior than playing solitary games against artificial intelligence: \presence of a lot of other people. This raises the question if this is really addictive behavior or

compelled to be social.\

Dr Bruce Ballon, head of CAMH's Adolescent Clinical and Educational Services for problem gambling, gaming and Internet use, says that his practice focuses on 16- t0 24-year-olds who show symptoms, such as depression, anxiety and so on, which are often linked to too much gaming. Most of Dr Ballon's cases are done with the help of parents.

It is important to involve parents in the treatment process, Dr Ballon says. They need to understand that it is unpractical to tell their child, \often expected to access the Internet at work and school. Dr Ballon explains to parents and children that the key is to have a healthy relationship with the virtual world. 59. According to the passage, video games______ A. lead to health problems

[KS5UKS5U.KS5U

B. are restricted at schools C. have ruined young children D. attract more and more young people

60. The study led by Professor Edward Swing shows that______ A. it is hard to assess students addicted to video games B. playing video games can cause attention problems C. playing video games for two hours a day is safe D. younger children like to play video games 61. The example of Wilson Wu proves that______ A. video gamers have strange behaviors B. people playing video games are more social C. video gaming can affect players' social behaviors D. playing video games for too long causes depression 62. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Addiction or just the desire to be social? B. Why are some video games so addictive? C. Are some gamers really addicted to gaming?

D. How can gamers avoid being addicted to video games?
