A warm smile on the street,a happy “hello” in a public park or the cheery sound of your name at the neighborhood bar—it doesn’t take much to feel at home in a busy city.And in the following cities,these gestures are second nature,with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike.
Dublin,Ireland Dublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet.One of Europe’s smaller capital cities,Dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security,so residents(居民) are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand.Locals speak in hushed tones in public.Talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best,and rude at worst.
Auckland,New Zealand
New Zealand’s biggest city is also the country’s friendliest,perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants(移民).People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place,so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents.Also,the city is surrounded by amazing scenery and things.That’s got to make people a bit happier,and therefore friendlier.
Charleston,United States
This city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits.Even when you go to the department of motor vehicles,you get a smile.Like many southern US cities,Charleston moves at a slower pace.People take time to sit outside,talk to neighbors and walk to dinner.
Victoria,Canada
A popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port,the capital of British Columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts.Even the postmen and postwomen are super friendly and often say “good morning”.It’s got a small town and big city feel all at the same time.

At first glance,Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom.However,he arrived at school dirty every morning,and along with his outward appearance,Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways,too.His home was a mess and his parents never settled in one place.He had yet to live a full year in any one place.
Every time when it was Ronny’s turn to read,he would sit close to me.I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub.”It sounded more like“Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment and his difficulty with the alphabet.
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level.A few weeks before the school year ended,I held an award ceremony.It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit;I needed something positive,but there wasn’t really much.I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader.”I presented Ronny with his certificate and a book.
A few days later,I returned to the school to visit.I saw Ronny read the book.His teacher appeared beside me.“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him.It’s the first book he’s ever actually owned.”
Fighting back tears,I approached Ronny and asked,“Will you read me your book,Ronny?”He glanced up and nodded.
And then,for the next few minutes,he read to me with more expression,clarity,and ease than I’d ever thought possible for him.When he finished reading,Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book.”
At that moment,I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done,and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life,care enough to make a difference.
I want to be that author.
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者是一名作家,她志愿去一所学校帮助一年级的学生提高阅读能力。在此期间,一个名叫Ronny的小学生让作者感受到了自己写作的意义。

C.disability D.technique 答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“he struggled to sound out ‘Bud the Sub.’It sounded more like‘Baw Daw Saw’”及“his difficulty with the alphabet”可知,Ronny读不清单词,认字母也费劲,由此可推测,Ronny有言语障碍,即在言语这方面“缺乏能力”。 5.The author gave a book to Ronny because . A.she wanted to encourage Ronny B.Ronny had made great progress
C.she knew Ronny didn’t have any books
D.the book could help Ronny improve his reading 答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是“I needed something positive”可推测,作者给Ronny颁发了“最佳进步读者奖”并送了他一本书是为了鼓励他。 6.How did the author feel when Ronny read the book to her? A.Proud and curious. B.Moved and surprised. C.Satisfied and relieved. D.Confident and excited. 答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Fighting back tears”可知,作者是带着感动的心情去听Ronny给她读书;再根据倒数第三段中的“he read to me with more expression,clarity,and ease than I’d ever thought possible for him”可知,作者没想到Ronny能读得那么好,由此可推测,Ronny的进步让作者有些惊讶。 7.What is the author? A.A teacher. B.A writer.
C.The mother of Ronny’s classmate. D.A volunteer for a writing program. 答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“my own writing career”及最后一段“I want to be that author.”可推测,作者是一名作家。 Ⅱ.七选五

There are many ways to fame.Whatever your own recipe(秘诀) is,if you want to make it really big,don’t follow in anyone else’s footsteps.1.
1.Do something unusual
Celebrity(成名) is all about standing out from the crowd.2. Charles Blondin started it all off 150 years ago.He walked a tightrope(钢丝) across the Niagara Falls to the American side,in front of over 10,000 breathless viewers.After his success,Blondin crossed the Falls many more times in a variety of ways:in chains,on a bicycle,and once,blindfolded.
2.Discover something
The bad news is that there are no countries left to discover.The good news is that in the rainforests of Brazil,there are about three million unnamed types of beetles.One of them could be yours.3. Though no one will enjoy hearing your name,you will be famous at least until someone comes along and discovers a cure.
3.Appear on reality TV 4. The growth of “reality TV” shows which star ordinary people,means that anyone can possibly become a star.5. While the show is being broadcast,you’re the biggest star on earth.But once it is over,your glamour disappears,and the life of being a nobody is waiting round the corner. A.What will make someone remember you?
B.What really counts is to explore a unique path. C.Or discover a deadly disease and give it your name.
D.They bring you fame at the speed of light,but it fades just as fast. E.Do something out of the ordinary and you’ll get your piece of fame.
F.Try attending an event that addresses something you don’t know much about. G.There have never been more chances for “regular” people to become famous. 答案与解析:

4.G 解析:由下文中的“The growth of ‘reality TV’ shows which star ordinary people,means that anyone can possibly become a star.”可知,普通人也有机会成为明星,所以选G项。
5.D 解析:根据下文中的“While the show is being broadcast,you’re the biggest star on earth.But once it is over,your glamour disappears...”可知,真人秀节目带给你的名声来得快去得也快,所以选D项。 Ⅲ.短文改错
