Something caught my eyes when I was walking down the street. Two silver coins were shining in a melting(溶化) snow bank, so I dug through the snow looking for more. Of course, I just ended up with really cold hands. I slipped the two coins into my pocket and went home, colder but richer. I began to think about how to spend the money...
Two days later, Mary and her little sister were searching the snow banks.“ Finders are keepers” was my first thought. I didn't want to hand them out even though Susy was already crying.“I dropped them right here,” she said between tears. Her hands were cold and red for digging in the snow.“ Maybe they slid(滑落) down the street with the melting snow. Let's dig over here.” Mary's voice sounded confident.
“ They' ll never know” was my second thought, and I walked past them.“ Phil, have you seen two silver coins ” asked Mary. Susy looked up from digging. Her eyes were hopeful.“ Tell a lie” was my third thought.“ As a matter of fact,”I hesitated(犹豫),“I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago. I wondered who might have lost them.” Susy hugged me with a big smile,“ Oh, thank you, thank you.”

When a tornado(龙卷风) touched down in a small town nearby, many families were ruined. Afterward, all the local newspapers reported some of the families who suffered the hardest. And a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of a totally destroyed mobile home with her young boy and a tiny girl, eyes wide with confusion and fear. I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. And this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who are less fortunate.
I gathered my 7- year- old twins, Brad and Brett, and 3- year- old Meghan and explained:“ We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We’ ll share what we have with them.”I brought three large boxes and filled one of the boxes with canned goods, soap and other toiletries. I encouraged my boys to go through toys and donate some of their less favorite things.
The boy placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes whileI filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much- loved rag doll and hugged tightly to her chest. She paused in front of the box, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.“ Oh, honey,”I said.“ You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan said with held- back tears:“ Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ ll make that other little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
The boy had watched, open- mouthed, as their sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. And Brett ran to get some of prized Matchbox cars. I pulled all three of them into my arms.
I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught.
( )23. Which statement best describes the picture in the newspaper
A. A broken mobile phone. B. A crying boy.
C. A hopeless family. D. A happy girl.
( )24. What does the doll mean to Meghan
A. Just a worn and boring doll. B. An expensive gift from mom.
C. The friend who makes her happy. D. One of her less favorite dolls.
( )25. What did the writer want to teach her children after she read the news
A. To be warm- hearted. B. To be polite.
C. To be smart. D. To be useful.
( )26. In the end, what would the writer probably do
A. Never teach her children a lesson.
B. Replace something old with new ones.
C. Call people to donate the poor family.
D. Pack another box with less favorites.

When we think summer, most of us think of fun outdoors. So it seems easy to lose weight over the summer. In fact, though, it's quite possible for us to put on weight. The good news is that we can avoid these problems if we know what to pay attention to.
Here are some ways to keep summer weight away.
31. When we don't have a plan, it's easy to spend summer moving from bed to the computer. So it is necessary to make a work or study plan, like learning a new skill or working at a job.
32. Because we don't have to go to school, it's easy to sleep late, watch too much TV and eat more snacks as usual. So it's necessary to make sure your summer days follow a schedule— getting up at the same time each day and eating meals as usual times.
33. Whenever you' re free, find something special to do, like making a dinner for your family. But remember: limit your screen time, no more than two hours a day.
34. If it's too hot outside or you don't like going to a gym, you can do your exercise indoors. If you love being outdoors, try swimming, running or playing soccer in the early morning or evening. Anyway, don't let the heat stop your exercise plans.
35. Don't eat too much meat. Choose some fresh fruit. It's better to put your focus on talking with your family and friends, not on food. Also, don't eat too many frozen things like ice cream.
A. Beat the heat B. Make a work or study plan C. Think about what to eat D. Stay busy E. Put everything in a schedule F. Enjoy yourselves
