Finally I asked. “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s .”

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had .

“Basically, most of the fathers had the reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first we try this”, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. “The is,” the teacher explained. “feeling loved is an important part of . It’s something all human beings . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be to tell his dad that he loves him.”

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport（护照）.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents（文件）. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

Doctors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says," When I go into water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

1.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.

A. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

B. they must reach the age of 60

C. they should be easy to make friends with

D. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

2.According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that_____.

A. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

B. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

C. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

D. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

3.The Polar Bears like to swim all year round, for_____.

A. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

B. they can remain young

C. they find it enjoyable and interesting

D. they might meet fewer troubles in life

4.The passage is mainly about_____.

A. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

B. a group of cold-water-swimming lovers

C. the Polar Bears' life in New York

D. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

I look in the mirror, and I'm not happy with what I see. I don't have a "perfect" face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a pretty little nose. They're on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards（广告牌） I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical "perfection". These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look.

Our society place more importance on a person's physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（手术）and starve themselves to become this society built physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.

But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process(过程）. It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle（皱纹） creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.

I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that "you don't want anyone to like your appearance. It's your heart that is important, because beauty fades.（消逝）" I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.

1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .

A. the author doesn't have a perfect face

B. women have to look beautiful

C. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere

D. there are too many beauties in daily life

2.What's the author's attitude towards being "old"?

A. It's a pity that people have to get old.

B. It's a fruitful and wise time.

C. It's stupid to try to stay young.

D. It's a pity that society looks down upon the old.

3. It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.

A. women themselves B. the author's parents

C. newspapers and magazines D. society

4.What's the author's opinion about beauty?

A. The author doesn't like the beauties our society values.

B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.

C. It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.

D. The author feels appearance is important to a person.
