(2018·江西师大附中、临川一中联考)“My neighbor doesn’t speak English, but her
kindness needs no translation.”
Angie Morris, an 81yearold Canadian woman who grew up in wartime Britain and now
lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, was describing how her nextdoor neighbor, Ms. Wing, a 68yearold Chinese woman, voluntarily cooks meals for her every day. She called it “the ultimate
home-delivery service”．
Morris’s moving, firstperson narrative which was published last week by the Canadian
newspaper The Globe and Mail, has gone popular，with more than 24，000 online reposts.
“I know what is inside the paper carrier bag，” she wrote. “A thermos with hot soup and a
stainlesssteel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp，sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence.”
Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart
surgery.She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor, even though the two women have
no way of communicating verbally. Wing speaks only Mandarin, and Morris’s Mandarin is
limited to ni hao(hello)．
“So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us
able to speak the other’s language, but communicating one way or another(with some help from
technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed
smilingly to me by Wing，”Morris wrote.
Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses
national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.
“You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life，” one reader
commented. “I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict. The point is,
most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places
like this country can offer.”

About Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle plays an important role in Scotland’s capital. During

nephew of Robert the Bruce.
The castle was home to kings and queens. Queen Margaret died here in 1093, and Mary, Queen of
Scots, gave birth to James VI in the royal palace in 1566. From the 1600s onwards the castle was a
military(军事的) base. Later it also held prisoners of war. Parts of the castle are still a military
base, but it is now a world－famous visitor attraction.

(2018·安庆模拟)As a child，I was generally happy，singing and
dancing to my favorite songs，smiling and laughing with my friends and
family.But as far back as second grade，I noticed a “darkness” about me.I
didn’t enjoy participating in many things.
In middle school，things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from
everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally，midway through
eighth grade，I was told I had a chemical imbalance，diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression，and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.
When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for
getting better myself，rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said，“To live happily is an inward

(2018·合肥高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as
a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.
The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival
called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to
honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became
the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to
decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and
a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole,
each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the
pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水) on May Day morning and
washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to

(2018·成都高三摸底测试)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing
as a young girl，yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy
awards.When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds，“How do you hear？Is it
only with your ears？” For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is
understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said.
It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference
between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the
lightning bug(萤火虫)、”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately，ask
the speakers.At this point you’re not evaluating what they say，but just looking for accuracy and
understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say.Why are they

(2018·黄岗检测)About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at
a computer in an office for 50 hours or so each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat
in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it
seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I
ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last
week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.”
Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly
different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset(心态) that it allows
for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for
the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about

(2018·沈阳高三模拟)Wild elephants can tell whether a voice comes from a man，a woman
or a boy，a new study says.That’s what researchers found when they played recordings of
people for elephants in Kenya.Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals
haven’t shown.It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isn’t.The result shows that the
clever animals are also studying people，said study author Karen McComb.
“Basically，they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share
their habitat with，”said McComb，a professor at the University of Sussex in England.“Memory
is key.They must build up that knowledge somehow.”
The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It’s close to but not quite like the Dr.Seuss book，where the elephant Horton hears

(2018·长沙模拟)KBG84 is a one-of-a-kind girl band in Japan consisting of 33 singing and
dancing grannies，with an average age of 84. The oldest member, Haru Yamashiro, is 97 years old!
The new hand, based in the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa，is a huge hit in the country—so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success. Their first single—titled
Come on and Dance, Kohama Island—has made it to the top of the charts, and they’ve just
completed a sellout tour of Japan.
“We fell like stars in Tokyo，” added 86-year-old Hideko Kedamori. “Everyone in the
audience had a big smile, which gave us the energy to sing our hearts out. We’re blessed to have
been born in Kohama. Our lyrics are about the island and nature—whales in the sea spouting or
dolphins doing somersaults(空翻)．”
Regardless of the lyrics, these elderly women are incredibly charming when they perform.
