After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when I told her room was ready.‎ As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.‎ ‎"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room... just wait."‎ ‎"That doesn't matter," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged. It's how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away." She went on to explain, "Old age is like a bank account. You take what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank." And with a smile, she said, "All my memories are happy ones."‎ Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.‎ 1. We can infer from the passage that the author ________.‎ A. is one of Mrs. Jones' children B. is a relative of Mrs. Jones C. works in the nursing home D. is the owner of the nursing home 1.

Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.‎ ‎3. How often do you think about fighting germs?‎ ‎·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.‎ ‎·Step：Be aware of germs.

Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?‎ For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.‎ It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading ‎ magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.‎ Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in and what’s out.‎ ‎7．From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan ________ .‎ A. doesn’t get any exercise B. lives a rich and happy life C. lives an unhealthy lifestyle D. sets a good example for teenagers ‎8．According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?‎ A. They are tired of school.‎ B. Their celebrity idols appear in many TV shows.‎ C. They have nothing to do in their spare time.‎ D. They’re in their development period.‎ ‎9．Many celebrities have to be on a diet ______.‎ A. to keep a slim size B. to survive under pressure C. to keep healthy to face competition D. to satisfy their teenage fans ‎10．What’s the title of the passage?‎ A. Parents’ responsibilities.‎ B. Bad influences of celebrities.‎ C. Advice on self-control.‎ D. Media’s bad influences.‎ 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。‎ Words are very powerful. It can build up or destroy. It can encourage or discourage. Everything that we say, whether good or bad, has an effect on us and on other people.    11    Here are some suggestions you can follow.‎ Sometimes we have a habit of distorting (歪曲) the truth for our own good. Other times, we keep our mouths shut because we don't want to say truth.    12    So if what you're saying is not the truth, it's best that you don't say anything at all. If it is the truth, then you have no reason to be afraid. But before you speak, make sure you are doing it in wisdom.‎ If what you want to say won't be helpful to others, it's best that you don't say it anymore. We should always try to be an inspiration to others.    13    Sometimes, conflicts (矛盾) arise because the things that should be left unsaid are still spoken about.‎ When we say something, what is our intention?
