Fridays meant a ‎ trip to a senior nursing home downtown for me. It seemed as if this nursing home needed help, but  16  did I know it would help me, too.‎ During my first visit I was asked to  17  some of the female residents' nails. I carefully    18  the old color on their nails. As I applied new color, one woman  19  to tell me about her hidden pains, from her husband’s death to the one  20 she wanted most: a camera. I listened carefully. She smiled  21  , with some of her past pains taken off her mind. I left the nursing home that day,  22  by the fact that I had actually helped somebody.‎ I realized that my  23   actions, just listening, for example, could make a(n)  24  to others' lives. One woman, who happily commented that we  25 the same first name, confided (吐露) her opinions to me. Another  26  showed me a birthday card her children had sent her. Of course, not all of the conversations were  27  .When one elderly woman talked to me about  28  her13-year-old daughter would be graduating from middle school this year, I didn’t know what to do but nod and listen,  29  that her daughter must have graduated decades ago. Although I could not  30  more years to the lives of these elderly residents, I could give them something simple that's often   31  in our society. Through our conversations, I gave them the  32  that in this fast-paced world, they were not forgotten—that members of younger generations still cared about them. Every moment I spend  33  is an opportunity to reduce their pain.  34  , that moment also shapes me. I not only learn about life and experiences outside of school but also receive the gift of being part of this  35  —the connection between humans.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by (滑过) outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink good Wet Root Beer”“Fill up with Pacific Gas.”Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"?       The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly careless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a horror story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting, but you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.       The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests-even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There just no more ways to sit.‎ ‎46. The long bus rides and TV shows are alike, because _____.‎ A. they both can offer people with thrilling stories ‎ B. they both are boring ‎ C. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between ‎ D. they both force people to sit for a long time ‎47.

In order to pass the middle hours of the ride, you can _____.‎ ‎ A. read the billboards B. have something to eat ‎ C. watch TV shows D. sleep ‎49. The purpose of the passage is to _____.‎ A. show how much bus rides differ from TV shows ‎ B. teach us how to deal with each period of a long bus ride ‎ C. persuade readers to take a long bus ride ‎ D. give the author's opinion on long bus rides ‎ ‎50. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _______.‎ A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boring D It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible (有责任的) for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home. If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.      My daughter Mary's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered (掌握) and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.      You can use the same way when you evaluate (评价) your child's work at home. Don't always scold and you should give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.      Learning is a process (过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.‎ ‎51. The whole passage deals with ________.‎ A. social education B. school education ‎ C. family education D. pre-school education ‎52. The author thinks that ________.‎ A. there is no way to get children to help at home B. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will become C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework D. children can be forced to help with housework ‎53. The passage gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child's work at home. That is to ________.‎ A. praise his success B. promise him a trip ‎ C. give him a punishment D. promise him a ball game ‎54. The author advises readers to ________.‎ A. learn from himself, for he has a good way of teaching B. take pride in Mary's fifth-grade teacher C. do as what Mary's teacher did in educating children D. follow Mary's example because she never fails in the test ‎55. Having read the last paragraph, we can conclude that ______.‎ A. pride goes before a fall B. practice makes perfect C. no pains, no gains D. failure is the mother of success 四、阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)‎ If you've often been told that you need to build up your self-confidence, but didn't know exactly what to do, the following is a guide that will help you.‎ ‎  1.
