27、   About 18 months ago, my father was in the hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 55 years very hard and had lost interest in life.

Trying to get him to eat each day was quite a chore as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, however, that he would ask us to bring him was ice-cream.

One evening to our surprise, he refused to eat the ice-cream, so I placed it in a staff room freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I fetched it for him.

As I passed another ward, a woman asked, “Are there more? Where that came from?” When I explained the situation, she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little other than the occasional ice-cream.

The next evening, I decided to buy two ice-cream. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the sick woman’s room, and offered her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was totally stunned that I had thought of her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, explaining what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. It was apparent that she did not have many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her.

I repeated the gesture a few days later, and this time was rewarded with a huge hug.

I never even thought to ask her name, and never saw her again, but it made me realize that an act of kindness can be more rewarding when you give it, rather than receive it.

A.Giving is rewarding.

B.Don’t hesitate to help elderly people.

C.It’s our responsibility to look after our parents.

D.Never put of anything you can do till tomorrow.

28、   Travelling abroad is becoming increasingly popular these years. Some people are afraid of making linguistic mistakes while traveling. Actually, cultural mistakes may be more serious, which can lead to serious misunderstanding.【1】

●Touching Someone

【2】In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But backslap(拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you’ll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred(神圣的)-never even pat a child on the head.

●Talking Over Dinner

In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.  【3】 It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because meal times are for eating, not talking.

● Removing Your Shoes or Not

Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your shoelaces. 【4】

Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. 【5】And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive-like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.

A.If not, keep the shoes on.

B.As the saying goes: “Do as Romans do.”

C.Never be completely surprised by anything.

D.Personal spaces are different among countries.

E.You’ll be likely to meet with no response.

29、   American high school students are terrible writers, and one education reform group thinks it has an answer: robots. Or, more accurately, robot-readers—computers programmed to scan students’ essays and spit out a grade.

Mark Shermis, professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron, is helping to hold a contest, set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (WFHF), which promises $ 100,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. “If you’re a high school teacher and you give a writing task, you’re walking home with 150 essays,” Shermis said. “You’re going to need some help.”

Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s, but computers back then were not up to the task. In the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbooks and testing companies jumped into the field. Today, computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota’s student writing assessments and a handful of other exams, including the TOEFL test of English fluency, taken by foreign students.

The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers—only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. “Automated essay scoring is objective,” Shermis said. “And it can be done immediately. If students finish an essay at 10 pm, they will get a result at 10: 01 pm.”

Take, for instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessor, a web-based tool marketed by Pearson Education, Inc. Within seconds, it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization, and help students to make revisions. The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic (语义的) patterns, and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.

【1】The text is written to introduce ______.

A. education reform in America

B. robot-readers

C. Hewlett contest

D. William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

【2】From Paragraph 3, we know that in the 1960s ______.

A. Computers were not easy to get

B. Automated grading software was popular

C. Computers couldn’t grade essays automatically

D. People refused automated essay grading

【3】The Intelligent Essay Assessor can ______.

A. Rewrite essays

B. Underline the mistakes in red ink

C. Correct key words and patterns

D. Understand the meaning of text

30、   It is every kid’s worst nightmare (梦魔) and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it twice. First, he ________ his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly, ________ him an orphan (孤儿).
