Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day and the Friday before Cyber Monday in the United States.It is not a federal holiday, but is a public holiday in some states.

"My neighbor doesn't speak English, but her kindness needs no translation."
Angie Morris, an 81-year-old Canadian woman who grew up in wartime Britain and now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, was describing how her next-door neighbor, Ms Wing, a 68-year-old Chinese woman, voluntarily cooks meals for her every day. She called it "the ultimate home-delivery service".
Morris' moving, first-person narrative which was published last week by the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, has gone popular, with more than 24,000 online reposts.
"I know what is inside the paper carrier bag," she wrote. "A thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence."
Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery. She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor, even though the two women have no way of communicating verbally. Wing speaks only Mandarin, and Morris' Mandarin is limited to ni hao (hello).
"So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other's language, but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing," Morris wrote.
Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.
"You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life," one reader commented. "I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict. The point is, most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places like this country can offer."
28. Why did Ms. Wing cook meals for Morris?
A. Morris has some health problems. B. Wing is an expert cook.
C. Ms. Wing had nothing else to do. D. They were raised in the same place.
29. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. Wing?
A. Kind-hearted. B. Sensitive. C. Communicative. D. Arrogant.
30. What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?
A. Most people in this world are having a good life.
B. People from different countries easily have conflicts.
C. Old Ireland is a place where children can grow up safe.
D. People are impressed and moved by Ms. Wing’s behavior.
31. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. A Voluntary Cook. B. Serving Your Neighbor.
C. Kindness beyond Language. D. Nutritious Meals.
D
Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least100.
The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神經(jīng)質(zhì)的)than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn't destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
32. According to the author, outgoing and sympathetic people __________
A. have a good understanding of evolution.
B. are probably more active and neurotic.
C. are more likely to recover from hardship.
D. generally appear more resourceful.
33. What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?
A. Helpful people can live a relatively long life.
B. Being self-discipline makes no difference to longevity.
C. Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.
D. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.
34. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?
A. Mothers' anxiety may affect their children's life spans.
B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.
C. Mothersmay have a longer influence on children than fathers.
D. Children's personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.
35. What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?
A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one's life span.
B.A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.
C. Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.
D. Amixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.

Life is hard and throws a lot at us at times. There are circumstances that make us feel stuck and trying to find an escape. Despite what's happened or where you are right now, you can live a happy life on your terms. 36 Here are three choices that can lead you to whatever a happy life means to you.
1. Ending a terrible Relationship or Moving Forward in a Good One
Just like our work, our relationships also have a tremendous effect on our life. 37 Relationships are hard because love is involved, and love is rarely rational. It can also be more than romantic relationships; any that are terrible can rob us of happiness.We have to make a choice to purge negativity from our lives in any form. If you have good relationships, make the choice to do the work it takes to grow together.
2. 38
It's not easy to do things that scare us or that we're not used to.Growing up, we were taught to follow the rules and do what society considers normal. When we stay within our comfort zone, we miss a huge opportunity for growth and adventure. 39Step outside of your comfort zone daily and get a blueprint for the kind of life that makes you happy.
3. Getting Committed to a Healthy Lifestyle
Your health is important to living a long and happy life. Making healthy choices helps you have the energy you need to push forward and make big changes in your life. What you eat affects how you feel and the attitude that you have towards yourself and the world.40
A. Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone
B. Finding or Creating Work that Fulfills You
C. They can bring us joy or frustrate us into depression.
D. You deserve to spend each day living life on your terms.
E. Happiness starts in your mind and then in the choices you make.
F. Make healthy choices and it will be a big contributor to your happiness.
G. To grow as a person, you have to try new things and figure out if they're right for your life.

The young artist and potter Allan had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Neither Allan nor his wife took the condition very61 (serious), but the boy died suddenly that night.
Knowing the death could 62 (avoid) if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. Worse still, his wife left him a short time later, 63 (leave) him alone with his 6-year-old younger son. Unable to stand the hurt and pain, he turned to alcohol and became 64 alcoholic.
As the alcoholism 65 (progress), Allan began to lose everything he possessed and finally died alone in a small bar. Hearing of his death, I thought, "66a complete failure!"
As time went by, I began to revalue my 67 (early) rough judgment. I knew Allan's now adult son, Ernie, one of the kindest and most caringmen I’ve ever known. I hadn't heard him talk much about his father. One day, I worked upmy courage to ask himwhat 68 earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, "As a child until I left home at 18, Allan came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘love you, son’."
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Allan69 a failure. He had not left any material 70 (possess) behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.

The TV program A Bite of China has attracted much attention. Its celebration of the food diversity around China tend to remind me of the food in my hometown.
Many people complain that life changes too fast, but I believe that there is one thing never escaping us, the taste for the food we grew up. I was brought up in a family of three generations under one roof. Living together with dozen of my relatives proved to be great fun. My grandma would tell them all those amazing ancient stories while making sticky rice cakes in the shape of lovely animals for us. My uncle, that worked at a local restaurant featured fish specialties then, would bring some of his best dishes back home to share with the family. I had traveled to many other places in China these years, but never have I tasted better fish than my uncle.
In my opinion, A Bite of China is no more than about food. Admittedly, we are drawn to the series by the impressive-looking food, so we are even more impressed by the human interest(人情味) in it –– the love of the food, of our hometowns and of our mother country.

Dear Mr. Brown,
I'm glad to hear that an English newspaper isto be started in our school. Now, I'd like togive you some suggestions.
Personally I hold that the content of the newspaper should becolorful, including the introduction of learningmethods as well as materials connected to ourlessons. For example, the newspaper can regularly providedifferent articles on western culture and custom, which will surely help us know more about the outsideworld, thus broadening our horizon. In addition, it would be better to set a special column wherewe can express our feelings and emotions. We reallyneed such a place to release our pressure freely and meanwhile practice expressing ourselves in English.
I truly hope that you can take my suggestions intofull consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Yeah. I love all the funny videos that people post.
W: Have you ever seen the YouTube show Epic Meal Time(《超級開飯時間》)?
M: Uh, no. I didn’t know YouTube had shows. I thought it was only home videos and music videos…stuff like that.
W: Well, YouTube also has channels, just like regular TV. There are many different kinds of shows every week. Most of them are shorter and cheaper to make than regular TV, though.
M: YouTube is even cooler than I thought! So, what’s Epic Meal Time?
W: There’s a group of guys who make the unhealthy meals they can possibly cook. Everything has bacon on it.Most things are fried, and there is a ton of cheese on everything. We’re talking tens of thousands of calories in one meal! In this show, the main guy introduces the meal, and then you see them shopping for the ingredients. You watch them cook everything.And at the end, they all eat it with their friends!

W: Brett, can I ask you a question about your dog?
M: Sure. What’s up?
W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.
M: Oh, is everything all right?
W: Yes, of course. It’s not like he’s sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care, so he doesn’t get any diseases from insects or other dogs.
M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo, too.
W: Yeah.That was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog’s medicine? I asked my vet, and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there!
M: Yeah.Unfortunately, most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the companies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores, though.
W: Well, that’s not a huge help for something that’s two hundred dollars per year! Isn’t there any other way?
M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western HillFire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
