A
(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测考试)Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.
I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”， and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

(2015·呼和浩特第一次调研)It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.
In these not toolongago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream.
Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up.
How different is the situation today?
The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast
holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the “fast life” gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.
中华资源库The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of “time poverty” through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.
The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life. By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle.
5．If we are connected to our food, we ________．
A．eat each meal slowly
B．buy our food by ourselves
C．enjoy our mealtimes with other family members
D．prepare and cook our food by ourselves

C．Fast, busy, stressful.
D．Convenient, relaxing, fast.
7．According to the author, many people have ________．
A．got used to fast life
B．had unwise opinions about fast life
C．had diseases caused by fast food
D．benefited from fast life
8．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To compare modern life with traditional life.
B．To explain the meaning of making a connection.
C．To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.
D．To support a worldwide movement.
