14.Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer(志愿者).The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.However,he went to work at an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal.His first thought was to make people impressed.
"I thought that if I volunteered just once.I could retell the story over and over,"Grennan said in a Huffington Post article.However,his three-month stay it the orphanage turned into in unusual experience.It was 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip,His first three months were spent in Nepal.
When he arrived in the village,he knew nothing about the children or the local culture.When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home,he was faced by the excited children.
The young American ended up caring for 18 children.He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐卖的)children.So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids'families,"I started walking with photos of the kids."he told the Reuters reporter."I would show up in villages and show photographs around.I went with 24 photos,and I found 24families."At the same time,he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
Grennan said,"Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."
He also encouraged others to do what he had done.He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him.His book,Little Prince,came out last week.

2.I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter,Ramanda,so that my wife could go out with a friend.I was getting some work done while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room.No problem,I figured.But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out."What are you doing.Raxiianda?"No response.I repeated my question and heard her say,"Oh…"nothing."Nothing?What does"nothing"mean?

"Sweetheart,you look beautiful!let's take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look."I took the picture and thanked God that I didn't miss the opportunity to reaffirm(在肯定)what a perfect little angel he had given me.

9.Nowadays,especially in China,everything seems to favor social intercourse,such as gatherings of friends,KTV,group travel,dining tighter,playing cards and Mahjong,plus the Chinese-style"street-crossing group."Back home,discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the"circle of friends"of WeChat.
However,these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness.Zhu Ziqing,a well-known professor of Tsinghua University,signed with emotion:"My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier."One popular song today is also called"A lonely man in crowds."Actually,engaging in social intercourse requires ability,while being alone involves the whole character.
These days,it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one's true self.Willpower,intellect and discipline are required.Einstein said:"It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not."The"spare time"he referred to could be taken as"spending time by yourself."
Lonely life could be either dull,boring and tasteless or abundant,interesting and colorful,depending on one's quality,ambition and inspiration.
Just as the body constantly requires energy,the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs.However,information,to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge,thoughts and feelings,instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition.Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that"the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness".In a sense,it may be reasonable to say that"Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity".
Man,in fact,needs loneliness more than happy time,and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.

28.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word"boisterously"in paragraph 1?C
A.surprisingly
B.sadly
C.busily
D.peacefully
29.What can we infer from the second paragraph?C
A.Being alone marks people depressed.
B.Social intercourse improves our happiness.
C.One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people
D.We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.
30.What can we know from Einstein's words?D
A.You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.
B.You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.
C.You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.
D.You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.
31.Which may be the best title for this passage?B
A.Live On Your Own
B.Happiness and Loneliness
C.The secret of success
D.Practice Your Social Ability.

19.Do you like trying different things?Are you afraid(61)ofthings that you think you're bad at?
Last year I started to learn t'at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress.It was something new for me,and I found it to be quite difficult,very(62)different(difference)form anything I'd ever learned before.Small(63)movements  (move) are important in t'ai chi.I was used to being fast and active,(64)but to learn t'ai chi I had to learn patience.Now I've found that I'm a much more patient person than before,and t'ai chi isn't nearly as difficult as it(65)was(be )before.
We tend(66)to like(like)things we are good at-that's normal.For example,I'm naturally very good at badminton and tennis,but I'm very had at anything  (67)that   involves keeping balance,such as skating,skiing and gymnastics.T'ai chi has(68)greatly(great)improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me.
My point is that you can keep(69)doing (do) the things you know you're good at and live in your comfort zone,or you can try something new.If you don't try new things,you'll never know what it would be like to try something new.Challenge(70)yourself(you).It will definitely pay off in the end.
