It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.
Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”
At the front of the supermarket, Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it.” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”
By now paramedics (急救人员) had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”
At that, the old man started crying and said “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
24. Why did Tenyson suggest buying the elderly woman a flower?
A. To relieve her pain.
B. To show sympathy for her.
C. To celebrate Mother’s Day.
D. To remove her embarrassment.
25. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “______”.
A. frightened
B. curious
C. astonished
D. excited
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The woman was knocked down by Tenyson.
B. The woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.
C. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support.
D. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman made the flower seller puzzled.
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. One can never be too careful.
B. Love begins with a little smile.
C. Actions always speak louder than words.
D. A small act of goodness brings a great joy.
C
Experts predict nine billion people will live on our planet by 2050. They say by that time demand for food will be two times what it is now. Officials are worried about that prediction because many people already suffer from a lack of food. More than 800 million people go to bed hungry.
A solution to the problem may be as close as our forests. A new report says forests could help reduce hunger and improve nutrition if they are properly managed.
Bhaskar Vira is the director of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute and an expert with the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). It recently released a report at the United Nations about forest and jungle foods.
Mr. Vira says crops that grow on trees can help feed people living in and around forests. “It’s like an insurance policy. Having access to those tree-based foods is hugely important when you can’t buy food from other sources or when you can’t produce food because your fields have failed.”
The report says that forest health and economic value improves when people who live in or near forests are given greater control of them. For example, a project in Ghana aims for proper management of forests and fields together. The people involved hope to grow the Allanblackia plant. The oil from its seed can be used in soap, beauty products and food.
Okai Michael Henchard leads the project. He says he will help people who live nearby. He says they earn money and get trees on their land. The trees provide shade and improve air quality. Mr. Henchard says the project also helps fight climate change.
28. What are officials worried about in the future?
A. Population and health.
B. Great demand for food.
C. Pollution and starvation.
D. Sharp decrease of forests.
29. Which can settle the problem discussed in the text according to Mr. Vira?
A. Farming fields.
B. Tree-based foods.
C. Living conditions.
D. Insurance policies.
30. What is the initial purpose of the project in Ghana?
A. To manage forests and fields.
B. To grow the Allanblackia plant.
C. To produce more oil.
D. To beautify the environment.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Importance of Forest Health
B. Forests Can Help Feed the World
C. The Project in Ghana Helps Natives
D. A Solution to Controlling Population

If you’re a yoga lover, you’ve probably noticed the ways yoga works — you’re sleeping better, getting fewer colds or just feeling more relaxed and at ease. But if you’ve ever tried telling a beginner how it works, you might find explanations like “It increases the flow of prana” or “It brings energy up your spine” fall on skeptical ears.
As it happens, Western science is starting to provide some concrete clues about how yoga works to improve health, heal aches and pains, and prevent sicknesses. Once you understand them, you’ll have even more motivation to step onto your mat.
I myself have experienced yoga’s healing power in a very real way. Weeks before a trip to India in 2002 to investigate yoga therapy, I developed numbness and tingling (刺痛) in my right hand. After first considering scary things like a brain tumor and multiple sclerosis, I figured out that the cause of the symptoms was thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve blockage in my neck and chest.
Despite the uncomfortable symptoms, I realized how useful my condition could be during my trip. While visiting various yoga therapy centers, I would submit myself for evaluation and treatment by the various experts, try their suggestions and see what worked for me.
Thanks to the techniques I learned in India, advice from teachers in the United States, and my own exploration, my chest is more flexible than it was, my posture has improved, and for more than a year, I’ve been free of symptoms.
My experience inspired me to dig into the scientific studies that I’d collected in India as well as the West to identify and explain how yoga can both prevent disease and help you recover from it.
32. What is the author probably?
A. A teacher.
B. A doctor.
C. A journalist.
D. A salesman.
33. Which will further motivate a yoga beginner to step onto the mat?
A. Personal feelings.
B. Professional terms.
C. Western medicine.
D. Scientific evidence.
34. What does the author mainly base on to persuade people to practise yoga?
A. His own experience.
B. Experts’ evaluation.
C. Teachers’ suggestions.
D. Practitioners’ exploration.
35. What might the text be followed by?
A. Scientific studies you should do.
B. Ways yoga improves your health.
C. The author’s trip to India.
D. The author’s recovery from illness.
