Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for living. One night, I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase.
After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown ” “It is not the shortest way.” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take ” I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.
“How much do I owe you ” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver What if I had refused to drive through downtown Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep — but what does that really mean It turns out that the answer depends not only on your age, but also on your lifestyle. Some people are productive and happy with fewer hours of sleep, while others need more. Still, experts can determine guidelines that work for most people. The National Sleep Foundation researched the topic and gave new recommendations this week. The foundation acknowledges that sleep needs will vary lifestyle and stress should be taken into consideration but their recommendations offer a general guideline. For example, teenagers (14-17 years old) need 8—10 hours’ sleep every day.
To create the recommendations, some sleep and medical experts reviewed 312 articles from journals published during the last decade. This is the first time that any professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep durations (时长) based on a systematic review of the world scientific literature.
A lack of sleep can be linked to weight gain, because that causes an increase in appetite, according to the foundation. It can also have serious consequences (结果) on the brain. People who do not get enough sleep are at increased risk for depression (抑郁症), an can endanger others. Those that become sleepy while driving for example, risk both their lives and the lives of those around them.
Researchers also have found in the past that too much sleep can have negative effects. Low socioeconomic status and depression reportedly are significantly associated with longer sleep. However, experts nowadays find that research on oversleeping is still doubtful and needs more attention. Currently, there is no strong evidence that sleeping too much has health consequences. There is, however, laboratory evidence that short sleep durations of four to five hours have negative consequences. We need similar laboratory studies to determine whether long sleep durations result in physiological (生理的) changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep extension.
61. Which is TRUE about sleeping time
A. The time you need for sleep is related to your personal situation.
B. Experts’ guideline for sleeping time applies to all the people.
C. The less you sleep, the more productive you are.
D. The more you sleep, the more energetic you are.
62. How did the National Sleeping Foundation do the research
A. By interviewing different people.
B. By reading lots of articles.
C. By consulting (咨询) other experts.
D. By doing systematic experiments.
63. The research shows that people without enough sleep will ________.
A. lose some weight B. eat more food
C. dream during their sleep D. drive faster than usual
64. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that ________.
A. too much sleep may result in social changes
B. researchers now agree with those in the past
C. more research on oversleeping is needed
D. research on oversleeping is quite persuasive (有说服力的)
65. From which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken
A. Health. B. Psychology C. Sport. D. Education.
D

On Thanksgiving, Scott Macaulay is preparing a full turkey dinner for a whole bunch of people he’s never met. His 70 guests—elderly people, low-income people, at-risk teens, and others—have one detail in common: Without Macaulay, they’d be alone on Thanksgiving
“What I do isn’t a big deal, really,” the 52-year-old said. “I just cook some food.”
Macaulay’s unconventional Thanksgiving tradition began in 1985, right around the time his parents decided to get divorced. The holidays got messy that year, and Macaulay, who was 24 at the time, sensed he’d be spending Thanksgiving alone. It was a terrible feeling.
“Thanksgiving isn’t about fireworks or band concerts,” he said. “It’s a celebration around a table with food. It’s not fun to do that by yourself.”
Macaulay placed an ad in his local paper with a simple message: If people thought they might be alone on Thanksgiving, they could give Macaulay a call.
A few people showed up at Macaulay’s place that first year. It was nice. So he placed another ad the following year, and the year after that.
In recent years, Macaulay has been hosting his Thanksgiving dinners at local churches with lots of space. He still buys and prepares al the food himself and spends about 40 hours putting the whole affair together. On Thanksgiving Day, he runs around nonstop from about 5 a.m. to p.m. Macaulay said he’d love to see other people hold similar dinners al over the country. “I think someone in every town should do this,” he said, “so nobody has to be alone.”
71. What does the underlined word “bunch” in the first paragraph mean (1 word)

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’m writing to apply for the English-speaking guide in this winter vacation.
I’m qualified for the position for the following reasons. First of all, as a senior high student, I’m crazy about English and fluent in oral English, which contributes to my winning the prize in the English Speech Contest held at our school. Besides, I have an optimistic personality, with an open mind and excellent communication skills to get along well with others. And with a strong sense of responsibility, I’m able to take on the task independently. Above all, as a native of Binhai New Area, I have a good command of its history and culture. So I’m sure that I will be the right person for the work.
I would appreciate it if I’m offered the opportunity. I’ll spare no effort to do it well.
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
