A
Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don't realize that opportunities to make a difference are everywhere.Here are some ideas to get you started.
Organize a blank drive
It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!
Practice random acts of kindness
I'll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. It's this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour's snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you'll never know how far your impact will reach.
Say thank-you
Just a simple thank-you can make__somebody's__day,__especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养) a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.
Use your talents to help the community
The best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate(协调) events and write, and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways.
Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.

(2017·长沙二模)If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day,think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year,a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most,with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.
The report into our eating habits found that,on average,we eat at least two snacks a day,with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men,with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research,by The Village Bakery,found biscuits are the most common vice,with 42 percent regularly opening a pack,closely followed by chocolate (38 percent),crisps (32 percent) and cakes ( 13 percent).
And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition,33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.
Simon Staddon,of The Village Bakery,said:“We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well-being.Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such as biscuits,chocolate and cakes are high in calories,fat and full of sugar,all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”
The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty-four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying,compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately,it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.
【语篇解读】 研究发现,多吃零食能让很多人在不经意间增加很多体重,办公室工作者的情况最为严重。
46.According to the passage,women usually put weight on first ________.
A.on the face
B.on the legs
C.on the feet

47.What's the main reason of eating snacks in the office?
A.Colleagues eat them to save money.
B.Staff use them to cope with their lunches.
C.Colleagues often bring them to office.
D.Bosses invite staff to eat them.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句“Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.”可知,C项正确。]
48.Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?
A.Because it has much of nutrition.
B.Because it has little effect on weight gain.
C.Because it has little effect on general well-being.
D.Because they have a short time to have their lunches.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.”可知,他们吃午饭的时间很短。]
49.It can be inferred that British women are ________.
A.less likely to lie on snacks than men

C.more ashamed of eating snacks than men
D.less ashamed of eating snacks than men
答案 B [推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying,compared to 20 percent of men”可知,更多的女性对吃零食的数量进行了隐瞒。]
C
With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting__a__gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

D
Golden sunlight danced in the treetops,and children's laughter filled the park.The smell of popcorn played on the breeze,and life seemed good.It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter,Gigi.
That is,until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away.It seemed like a bad dream.I could barely whisper when the police questioned me.For hours we waited,but there was no word on the whereabouts of the car.Tears would start to come.Then nothing.I was numb with fear.
“Go home,Ma'am,” the police officer said.“I'll have someone drive you.We'll also want to monitor your telephone.The kidnappers(绑匪) might call,and we'll want to keep track.Trust me,these guys can't get far.” But after what had just happened,it was hard for me to trust anything.
My friend Gloria came over that afternoon.“I heard about Gigi on the radio,” she said.“Everyone is looking for the car.The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand.
“Look here,” Gloria said.“I want you to have this picture,and I want you to pray with me.”
It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed.Standing by the bed was a tall,blond angel(天使).His hand was touching the girl's shoulder as he smiled down at her.
“You know I don't believe in that kind of thing!” I got angry.“I'm too tired for any trick right now,Gloria! I want my daughter home!”I started to shake,and then I burst into tears again.
Gloria placed the photo on our mantle(壁炉架) and knelt down beside me.“Just pray with me,” she said,holding my hand.
I had no strength left,so we prayed and waited what seemed an age.Together,we waited by the phone until sunset.The phone never rang.
Suddenly,the front door swung open.I looked up and screamed.
There stood Gigi.“Gigi! Thank God!” I cried,throwing my arms around her.“Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you?”
“No Mommy!” said Gigi.“I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away.We were going really fast on an old rock road I'd never seen before.But then a tall man walked out in front of the car,and they ran off the road and hit a tree.Then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out.He was really nice,and said I would be okay now,and that those men couldn't hurt me.I must have gone to sleep,because then I woke up here in front of our house.He must have brought me home.”
“But how did he know where to bring you?” My voice broke and sounded a whisper.
“I don't know,Mommy,” Gigi said.“But he was really friendly,and I wasn't scared of him at all.”
Just then Gigi noticed Gloria's picture on the mantle.“That's him!” she cried,pointing at the picture.“Mommy,the tall blond man dressed like an angel.That's the man who pulled me out of the car!”
Gloria turned pale.“Are you sure that's the man?” Gloria asked.
“Yeah,that's him.Except he didn't have wings,and he was wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt.But that's him exactly.I'd remember him anywhere!”
Later that night,the police found the injured kidnappers in their damaged car fifty miles from our home.When questioned,the driver remembered making a sharp turn to avoid hitting a tall blond man.The backseat door that Gigi sat by had been completely torn off.
Twenty years have gone by.We have never heard from anyone claiming to have rescued Gigi.There have been no logical explanations for Gigi's narrow escape and return from so far away.
There have always been things that people can't explain.But,from that day forward,I believe that all experiences,positive and negative,are given to us for our strengthening and learning.
Gigi now takes her little girl to the park on Saturdays.They enjoy the sunlight as it dances in the treetops,the smell of popcorn,and the laughter of children.She keeps Gloria's picture on her mantle,and she remembers her angelic friend.And,like my daughter,I have a faith that has carried me through many trials since that day many years ago.

Five Ways to Instantly Rid Yourself of Needless Worry
A while back,I had a great day and everything was going exactly as I wanted.I was meeting tons of new people and everything was amazing.I felt like I've accomplished a lot.Then suddenly,like an unexpected swift jab,someone made a small remark about me.I felt hurt and the worry began flowing in.Over the years,I've developed belief systems that help me get rid of these worries.I want to share these with you.
61.________It just isn't possible to get everyone to like you.Trust me,I've tried.This only leads to disappointment on a daily basis,since you can't possibly live up to the entire world's expectations.Here's a new goal for you instead if you really want to get rid of worry and unhappiness from your life.Focus on what you think of yourself.Who cares what that stranger thinks? If you're happy with who you are and you know what weaknesses you should fix then forget about the world.Life is bigger than trying to look awesome; life is about actually being awesome.
62.________The first thing I ask myself is,will this negative thought affect me in the future at all? Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow? More often than not,it's just something I'll soon forget about anyway.So I put myself into the future by a couple of days and imagine myself.In this vision,I realize that I won't be bothered by something so small and I most likely wouldn't even remember it.A lot of times,just the idea of it fleeting away very soon is enough for me to block out these disturbances.
63.________When I feel like I'm inadequate based on the need for approval from others,I begin to do some self-reflect on my achievements.I think about how much I've improved in the past year.I've met amazing people,developed active listening skills,and started something I've been thinking about for the past two years.Looking further back,I transformed from a socially awkward kid to a socially lively and confident person.All thanks to mental skills that I consciously yield.I was blessed with true fortunes that others do not have; I was blessed with the gift of self-improvement.
64.____Write anywhere you can,whether it's in a blog,in your journal,or on a post-it note that you can throw dramatically into the ocean.Get those worries out onto paper.Look at it,assess its importance,then tear it,burn it,or throw it into the ocean like I just said.You can then look back at that paper you just destroyed and laugh at how ridiculous you were being.Who cares if that lady looked at you strangely? Who cares that someone may have noticed stains on your new white sneakers? Write all of that,then destroy it.
65.________Finally,just reflect on how short life is; focus on how life is constantly fleeting.Do you really want to spend what little time you have on this beautiful earth worrying about something you won't even remember by next week? Don't be silly,get out there and enjoy life.You've got it pretty good,I'd bet.Don't waste it on needless worry.

【参考范文】
Handwriting is one of the most important skills in students' daily study.Nowadays,however,teachers,students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.
There are many reasons explaining the phenomenon.The main one of which is the growing popularity of computers.Many students may think that they can just use a computer,so there is no need to waste time improving it.What's more,the students are so occupied with their lessons and homework every day that they have no adequate time to practice it.
In my opinion,just as the saying goes,writing style shows the man.Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial,especially for middle school students.Therefore,more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
