Each country has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint clean up, or repair their houses or do their shopping. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization (组织) called Big Brothers. College students and other men take them to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn skills. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer, three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children.
“Are you all sick ” I asked.
“Yes,” the woman answered and lowered her head.
But when they started to tell their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while (需要一段时间) before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their information—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless (无家可归) and the hospital was warm.
The family stayed together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency (急诊).”
We took out our meals for our Christmas “sick people”. We also put oranges and apples together as presents.
We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angels (天使).”

阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Young children don’t have the skills or knowledge to stay in heavy traffic. The following tips will be helpful for you to keep your children safe in heavy traffic.
Children learn about road safety by watching others. As parents, make sure that you always set good examples. Your children will follow you and think it’s OK to do like you.
Teach your children to pay attention to traffic lights when you cross the road together with them. This helps them understand when it’s safe to cross. Make sure that you walk between your children and traffic, and hold their hands all the time.
When your children are a little older, you can start to tell them the importance of traffic knowledge. Let them start to understand the reasons why they need to be so careful. Talk with them about road signs and traffic rules.
Ask your children to play in a safe place. Never let them ride bikes on the road without an adult present at rush hours.
The most important thing you can do is to keep your children from getting hurt, so parents encourage them to follow traffic rules. After knowing about traffic rules, they’ll volunteer to obey (遵守) them. In this way, they’ll be careful enough to keep themselves away from danger.
53. How do children learn about road safety according to the passage (不超过5个词)

A. himself B. herself C. yourselves D. ourselves
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你上周末干什么了？——皮特和我去了海伦的聚会，玩得很开心。
考查反身代词。himself他自己；herself她自己；yourselves你/你们自己；ourselves我们自己。句中的谓语动词enjoyed的主语是Peter and I是表示复数的第一人称，因此反身代词用ourselves。故选D。

考查动词短语。根据“Could you please ... after school ”可知，本句是could开头的一般疑问句，情态动词could应与动词原形连用；hand out是动副短语，代词作其宾语时应放在中间。故选B。

A. something special B. nothing special C. special nothing D. anything special

Each country has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses or do their shopping. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization (组织) called Big Brothers. College students and other men take them to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn skills. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer, three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children.
“Are you all sick ” I asked.
“Yes,” the woman answered and lowered her head.
But when they started to tell their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while (需要一段时间) before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their information—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless (无家可归) and the hospital was warm.
The family stayed together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency (急诊).”
We took out our meals for our Christmas “sick people”. We also put oranges and apples together as presents.
We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angels (天使).”

Young children don’t have the skills or knowledge to stay in heavy traffic. The following tips will be helpful for you to keep your children safe in heavy traffic.
Children learn about road safety by watching others. As parents, make sure that you always set good examples. Your children will follow you and think it’s OK to do like you.
Teach your children to pay attention to traffic lights when you cross the road together with them. This helps them understand when it’s safe to cross. Make sure that you walk between your children and traffic, and hold their hands all the time.
When your children are a little older, you can start to tell them the importance of traffic knowledge. Let them start to understand the reasons why they need to be so careful. Talk with them about road signs and traffic rules.
Ask your children to play in a safe place. Never let them ride bikes on the road without an adult present at rush hours.
The most important thing you can do is to keep your children from getting hurt, so parents encourage them to follow traffic rules. After knowing about traffic rules, they’ll volunteer to obey (遵守) them. In this way, they’ll be careful enough to keep themselves away from danger.
