I have a good family, and we live in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. People travel here from many countries for their vacations. We have beautiful beaches, hotels, restaurants and shopping centers.However, in my beautiful hometown, there are also very poor neighborhoods. These areas are crowded and have a lot of crime. Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas. Some don’t really have a childhood because they’re homeless and live on the streets. They don’t have education. They don’t have enough food. Many use drugs or have diseases or mental problems.Last year, I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City.I spent one year as a volunteer with an organization called Outreach International. They have several programs. I volunteered for one program to help street children.I worked in a home for street children (all boys, at this one). At this home, the boys have a place to sleep and three meals daily. The home keeps the boys off the streets. It shows them another way of life. As a volunteer, I helped to prepare meals. I taught games—such as basketball, football and art. I helped the kids with their homework. Thes e kids can be fun. They have a lot of energy, but they’re also really tough. Their hardships on the streets make them strong and not always “sweet little children.”At this boys’ home, I met two other volunteers—Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia. In many ways, we were very similar. We were the same age, came from good homes and had a good education. They were both college students, like me. We became very good friends. Now, we email each other.It was the best---and most difficult---year of my life. I learned a lot that year.21. In the author’s hometown____________A. people love to make friends with foreigners.B. nearly all the kids have a happy childhood.C. many homeless children live a terrible life.D. it is hard to find homeless children on the streets.22. Working as a volunteer, the author______A. helped the boys give up drugsB. trained the boys for sports gamesC. found it hard to change the boysD. was impressed with the boys’ character23. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. show an annoying situation in his hometownB. share his special experience as a volunteerC. show how hard a life homeless children liveD. seek advice on helping homeless childrenBIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they’ll slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does n ot give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.24.

Because it didn't get dark until about 11:00 pm.DThere is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter seems to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which reduces both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. Laughter is good for health.B. Laughter can make you become ole quickly.C. Laughter helps to reduce pain.D. Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.33. Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A. Because they want to earn more money.B. Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C. Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.D. Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh.34. According to the author, we should ______________.A. laugh as much as possibleB. watch more funny filmsC. smile all the timeD. spend more time in laughter clinics35. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.B. Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition.C. Laughter can reduce the effects of pain.D. Laughter is the best medicine.第二节： (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
