I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,
11、unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that
12、 he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I r
13、ose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and

Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because Im afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I dont think Daniel will help.”But theres a new a
18、pplication that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group thats a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organi
19、zer of three world conferences on fear of flying.The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate (中等的 ) fear of flying.“The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of t
20、he knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.The foundation said up to 30%
21、 of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence (乱流). It explains the sounds and sensations（感觉） they can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passengers flight stress
22、reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air.24.

C As children begin to head back to school, there are several things that you can do to make sure that your child st
27、ays healthy and performs at their peak potential (潜力) during the school year.1. Make sure your child is up to date on their immunizations (免疫). The summer is a good time to schedule visits to the doctors as your child is not in school, and the visit wont require that your child miss school days.2. E
28、ncourage proper nutrition. America faces childhood obesity (肥胖). This means that the percentage of overweight children is increasing each year, and this will place your child at risk of developing a variety of diseases when they are middle age or even young adults. You can start helping your child t
29、o become healthier by offering fruits and vegetables at home instead of calorie-heavy potato chips and candy.3. Get your child involved in sports activities. Activities in high school such as track and cross-country are important for socialization for your child, as well as helping to improve their
30、health. You can get your child interested in wholesome activities by discussing with them how you enjoyed similar activities in high school.4. Have the birds and the bees conversation with your child. Many children become sexually active in junior school and senior high school, and the sooner you di
31、scuss sex with your child, the sooner they will be prepared. Tell your child that there is always the possibility of infecting (感染) a sexual disease when two people have sex; and discuss with your child the use of condoms. The sooner you start having this embarrassing situation, the better.5. Know y
32、our childs friends. You can do this by inviting your child to bring their friends over to your house for a pizza night, or by chatting with them when they stop by your house. If you find your childs friend has a bad reputation, then you could consider introducing your child to a different network of
33、 people, such as through the girl/boy scouts (童子军). Forbidding your child from seeing a certain person may only lead them to rebel and become closer to that person.6. Discuss with your child the seriousness of drug use and abuse. Your child may not realize that using drugs can have serious consequen
34、ces. Your child may get the false impression that drug use is his right. Explain to a child that saying no to drugs is their right, and that anybody offering them drugs is not their friend.7. Help your child to avoid a life long smoking addiction by discussing with them the consequences of smoking.
35、The sad fact is that most smokers became addicted when they were in their teenage years, and are unable to quit for long periods of time and often die many years earlier due to their smoking habit which increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and a variety of medical conditions. Even if yo
36、u are a smoker yourself, you can discuss with your child about how damaging smoking can be on a persons health.28. What topic is NOT discussed in this passage?A. Drugs. B. Smoking. C. Friendship. D. Study.29. The first three tips focus on childrens _.A. medical care B. nutritious food C. physical he
37、alth D. sports activities30. “Have the birds and the bees conversation with your child” means “_”.A. have a humorous talk to children about sex B. tell children stories about the animal worldC. give a formal expert education to children D. deliver lectures to children on sex diseases31. This passage
38、 is meant for parents to _.A. teach their children to behave well B. prepare their children for a new termC. educate their children after school D. train their children for special abilityD I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If
39、so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate (等同看待) happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper,
40、more long-lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought
41、that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir (回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal
42、the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and long-time loneliness.The way people hold on to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happine
43、ss. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of true happiness. They fear th
44、e pain inevitably(不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work and self-improvement.32.
