The Doll and the White Rose

I was walking around in a mall, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back．The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll．”The little boy seemed very disappointed．

I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to. "It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."

I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll．"

"OK, I hope I do have enough," he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money．Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "

Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away．I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral. Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever．

56．The boy wanted to buy the doll because____________．

A．he had always been eager for such a doll

B．Santa Claus didn't give him any Christmas gift

C．he would give it to his mother as a birthday surprise

D．he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality

57．We can learn from the story that__________．

A．the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeks

B．the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accident

C．the author gave the boy some extra money without his notice

D．the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas

We all know how important human life is—it’s priceless. It doesn’t matter wh ere you are from or what the color of your skins is—all people are human beings. Firstly, we can tell you that the

lives of your relatives could depend on your ability to give first aid. If you think highly of human’s life, this website is for you! Here you can find information about first aid.

The very first thing that you should do when you see an accident is to evaluate the situation and prevent further dangerous incidents. First of all, you have to recognize what has happened and what the dangers to rescuers and victims are. Think about how to take care of the victims.

Helping usually takes place in very difficult conditions and injuries can be very bad. Therefore, you cannot be too afraid of making mistakes to help. Sometimes you have to face the fact that regardless of your actions and your efforts the victim’s condition might not improve—he or she could even die. In some cases even professional medical aid may not succeed. If you have done everything you think you should do, you shouldn’t feel guilty.

Do not expose yourself to danger. Giving first aid can be dangerous. While trying to help a victim, do not forget about your own safety. If something happens to you, you won’t be able to help anyone.

Call for help after you find out the condition of a victim. But remember if a victim faints due to breathing failure caused by drowning, choking or poisoning, you should first take actions that help to bring back the heart beat and breathing. While calling, talk shortly but clearly. Always provide the following information: the location of the accident, the kind of accident, the number of the injured and your full name and phone number and so on.

63. The underlined word “evaluate” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. leave

B. protect

C. avoid

D. judge

64. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. You should learn some professional knowledge about first aid.

B. You shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t know about first aid.

C. Try your best to give first aid and don’t be afraid of maki ng mistakes

D. Don’t make mistakes when you are giving first aid.

65. The author thinks that helping a victim can be ____________.

A. risky

B. shocking

C. exciting

D. boring

66. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. everyone must learn how to give first aid

B. you should forget about your own safety while giving first aid.

C. when you see an accident you should do nothing but call the police.

D. when calling for help you should give all relevant details.

D

Minimalism (简约主义) is a term that describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is reduced to its most basic features.

As for me, minimalism functions well not in art or design, but in my daily life.

When I was packing for university, I found it extremely difficult to let go of some of the things I owned. I knew I couldn’t take everything with me, but I kept asking myself “how could I possibly throw this away?”, “what if I need it one day?”, and “what about all of the memories?” Now that I’ve moved, and left that stuff behind, I don’t even miss it. Whether or not I got rid of it, it barely makes a bit of difference to me now.

I’ve learned that over time people forget, or their need for a par ticular object eventually disappears. Either they store it away or they get rid of it.

You might think nostalgically（怀旧的）about the toys you cared about when you were a child, but what is making you smile now is not the thing itself but the memory of it. I’ve heard it a hundred times, “you don’t need things to make you happy.” It takes something life-changing like moving across the country to realize how true this is.

Speaking of which, for a lot of people, minimalism is about able to move. It’s about being able to go almost anywhere at any time because you don’t have many possessions to carry. When you keep things you don’t need they become a burden that ties you to a place. Moving to university was a good time to let go of a lot of stuff. And when I visit for the holidays, I’ll probably get rid of even more, to lighten the burden.

Of course there are exceptions. There are some things that are irreplaceable, very rare or expensive or we simply love and cherish for some reason or another, since we are humans. But after we keep those, how much is left that we don’t really need?

Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.

Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.

I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.

67. In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to .

A. introduce a topic

B. present his own background

C. describe a scene

D. offer an argument

68. Many people don’t want to let go of some of their belongings because .

A. they haven’t had any life-changing experiences

B. they fear their memories will be gone with the thrown-away stuff

C. they hope to live life to their full potential by storing things away

D. they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them

70. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Minimalism brings happiness.

B. Minimalism is applied in many fields.

C. Minimalism makes people think nostalgically.

D. Minimalism is about able to move.

It measured 8.0 on the Richter scale with an 11-degree quake intensity, killing a large number of people, and causing extensive damage to the local environment. Wolong Nation Nature Reserve is about 30 km away from Wenchuan and is one of the most important giant panda habitats in China. Based on the impacts of the Wenchuan 512 earthquake and those of other strong earthquakes in the world, this paper reviews and discusses effects of strong earthquakes on forests, bamboo growth, and giant panda habitats. This information may be useful for scientists when undertaking research projects on natural geography, and habitats restoration in the reserve and the disaster area.
