She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.‎ Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.‎ I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).‎ I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.‎ I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named  Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.‎ ‎24.

Care about one another.‎ C More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both ‎ countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence.‎ Wayne Meisel, director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University, said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves.‎ ‎ In these circumstances, he said, young people lack confidence, which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.‎ ‎ In spite of the different conditions in China, Li Xuequan, director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation, said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation(通货膨胀) and corruption(腐败).‎ ‎ In order to solve these problems, the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young people, as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.‎ ‎ Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of “challenge to youth” to many young people, urging them to commit themselves to meeting such needs as feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the lonely and sick, serving the elderly and preserving the environment.‎ ‎ The letter says: “Through the service, we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”‎ ‎28. What is the main factor that leads to young people’s lack of confidence in both countries?‎ A. Their laziness B. Their education C. Part-time jobs D. Economic pressure ‎29. What is the possible situation in the 1960s?‎ A. Young people lacked confidence as well. ‎ B. Young people in America were able to do anything well.‎ C. Young people were quite confident in America.‎ D. Young Chinese people were very confident. ‎ ‎30. The word “commit” can be replaced by _____.‎ A. devote B. help C. express D. keep ‎31. The passage is mainly about _____ in the two countries.‎ A. lack of confidence of the young people B. approaches to touching the lives of others C. challenges for the young people D. problems of the young people and ways to solve them D For years, people have wondered whether there's life on other planets. Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering that question.‎ Using powerful telescopes, a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet, called Proxima b. It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system.‎ Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More importantly, they’ve determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earth’s. This means it could have liquid water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life.‎ Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4.2 light years from Earth—that is about 25 trillion miles away.‎ Despite the long distance, astronomers hope to get a much better look at our new-found neighbor one day. But they’ll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.‎ ‎32. Earth is to the sun what _____.‎ A. Proxima b is to Proxima Centauri B. Proxima Centauri is to Proxima b C. Proxima b is to the solar system D. the solar system is to Proxima b ‎33. The writer introduces the new planet mainly by _____.‎ A. listing figures B. making the comparisons C. following the space order D. giving examples ‎34. Planets like Proxima b referred to as “ Goldilocks planets” because of _____.‎ A. their temperature B. the presence of water ‎ C. the life on them D. their size ‎35. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.‎ A. astronomers have a long way to go to explore the new planet B. existing telescopes are still far from advanced ‎ C. the long distance will prevent astronomers from exploring the new planet D. astronomers have got the whole picture of the new planet 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.‎ You may have grown up living with sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else.
