Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演）. One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression(印象) on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. Their clothes were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly said, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady told him the price. The wife’s head dropped, and the man’s lip began to quiver (抖动). The father asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady told him the price again.
The man didn’t have enough money.
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground (We were not wealthy either). My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”
The man knew what was going on. He wasn’t begging for money but certainly thanked the help in a difficult, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, and with a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t go without.

On June 23, 2010, a Sunny Airlines captain with 32 years of experience stopped his flight from departing. He was deeply concerned about a power part that might run out of all electrical power on his trans-Pacific flight. Regardless of his concerns, Sunny Airlines pressured him to fly the airplane over the ocean at night. When he refused to put the safety of his passengers at risk, Sunny Airlines' Security removed him out of the airport, and threatened to arrest his crew if they did not cooperate.
Besides that, five more Sunny Airlines pilots also refused to fly the aircraft, expressing their own concerns about the safety of the plane. It turned out the pilots were right: the power part was faulty and the plane was removed from service and finally fixed. Eventually a third crew operated the flight, hours later. In this whole process, Sunny Airlines pressured their highly experienced pilots to ignore their safety concerns and fly passengers over the Pacific Ocean at night in a plane that needed maintenance. Fortunately for all of us, these pilots stood strong and would not be frightened.
Don't just take our word. Please research this yourself and learn the facts at www.SunnyAirlinePilot.org. Once you review this shocking information, please keep in mind that while their use of Corporate Security to remove a pilot from the airport is a new procedure, flight crews' lacking confidence is becoming common at Sunny Airlines, with recorded events occurring on a weekly basis.
The flying public deserves the highest levels of safety. No airlines should maximize their gains by pushing their employees to move their airplanes regardless of the potential human cost. Sunny Airlines' pilots are committed to resisting any practices of damaging your safety for profits. We've been trying to deal with these problems behind the scenes for quite some time; now we need your help. Go to www.SunnyAirlinePilot.org to get more information and find out what you can do.
1.After the captain refused to fly the aircraft, he was ________.
A. asked to find another pilot
B. forced to leave the airport
C. arrested for disobeying the order
D. made to help the Airlines fix the plane
2.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A. To help Sunny Airlines make higher profits.
B. To introduce Sunny Airlines' pilot training programs.
C. To review plans for improving Sunny Airlines' service.
D. To expose problems with Sunny Airlines' security practices.
3.Which of the following is true about the aircraft?
A. It was too old for any more flight service.
B. Its problem was found and finally repaired.
C. It was removed from the airport for a week-long checkup.
D. Its problem remained and no crew would operate the flight.
4.The passage was most likely written by ________ of Sunny Airlines.
A. security guards B. managers

New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan（寿命）.
Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers, such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(复合物), which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a welth of health benefits.
A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States revealed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.
For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.
While the researchers are unable to identify the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifepan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症).
Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption.” However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the now research makes these findings more credible.
1.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The study only goes for American people.
B. Red chili pepper can all-cause disease.
C. The compound protects people against obesity.
D. Onion consuming can reduce death risk.
2.What is the finding of the new research mainly about?
A. Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.
B. Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.
C. Hot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.
D. Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.
3.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”?
A. Convincing. B. Practical. C. Encouraging. D. Attractive.

What is the easiest way to stay warm in the super cold?1.. At least that is what Santa Claus told me.
During Christmas, Dennis and I went to Finland. We brought back some tips for keeping warm in a cold temperature.
1. There layers(层)work wonders.
Start with the base layer, which sits right on your skin: choose something that can absorb sweat. 2.. A sweater is a good choice. The most important layer is the outer clothes, which should be waterproof(防水的)and windproof.
2.3..
You lose heat from every millimeter of uncovered skin, which was the biggest lesson I learned on this trip. My whole body was well covered. But I missed one sport: my face. So it often felt like the wind was going to blow my nose off.
3. Exercise, don’t just stand still.
When it’s cold, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing, but be smart.4., and you will feel the difference. When we first got to Finland, we were freezing. But after a couple of minutes jumping around, we felt less cold.
4. If you have a heater
You may want to turn it all the way up, but it’s best to keep it at between 18 and 20 degrees.5., but not create a huge difference between inside and outside.
A. Grow a crazy beard.
B. The key is what your layer is
C. Cover every bit of your skin
D. That will keep you comfortable
