I used to give a lot of money to the homeless, feeling 1 for their misfortune. But 2 time passed, I fell victim（受害者）, too. I became a single mom with no home, a huge debt,

2、 and hardly any income. As a3, I stopped giving to the people on the side of the road and became very bitter. Things started to 4 for me. I became 5 enough to have a home, a backyard for my daughter, and plenty of food, and I soon paid 6 all my debts. One day we saw a homeless person with the 7, “Wi

3、ll work for food. ” My daughter said, “Mommy, you 8 give to those people in need. ” I replied, “ 9 they just use that money for alcohol or other 10 things. ” Three days later, I was 11 to pick up my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner, and something deep inside me said, “Just 12 t

She felt that the easiest

9、way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie”. As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to

10、lie. “Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sues house to play. ”“Tell Theresa youre sick，”she would advise. And generally I did. But I didnt seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to

11、 Sues house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson. I started thinking of all the lies that Id heard her tell. I remembered the t

12、ime she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didnt want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn-mower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadnt bee

13、n in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when

14、 someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasnt there. So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didnt want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesnt want to talk to you. ” The first

15、time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without

16、 being rude. ” She admitted that her methods werent right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme. Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honestand yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started b

17、y trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term. 21. The authors mother _. A. thought white lies were not liesB. helped the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author

The body seems to be designed

21、for this, as most peoples bodies naturally become more tired in the afternoon, about 8 hours after we wake up. When you sleep you pass through different stages of sleep, known together as a sleep cycle. These stages include light sleep, deep sleep (which is believed to be the stage in which the body

22、 repairs itself), and rapid-eye movement sleep, or REM sleep (during which the mind is repaired). Many experts advise to keep the nap between 15 and 30 minutes, as sleeping longer gets you into deeper stages of sleep, from which its more difficult to awaken. Also, longer naps can make it more diffic

23、ult to fall asleep at night, especially if your sleep deficit (赤字) is relatively small. However, research has shown that a 1-hour nap has more restorative effects than a 30-minute nap, including a much greater improvement in cognitive（认识的）functioning. The key to taking a longer nap is to get a sense

24、 of how long your sleep cycles are, and try to awaken at the end of a sleep cycle. As there are pros and cons to each length of sleep, you may want to let your schedule decide: if you only have 15 minutes to spare, take them! But if you could work in an hour nap, you may do well to complete a whole

25、sleep cycle, even if it means less sleep at night. If you only have 5 minutes to spare, just close your eyes; even a brief rest has the benefit of reducing stress and helping you relax a little, which can give you more energy to complete the tasks of your day. 25.

29、elling educational toys should be easy. While China may be the worlds biggest toy-maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough high-quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low. A US company, Baby Care, is trying to change that with a new wa

30、y to sell toys in China. Baby Care works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the companys “mother club” can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the companys educational toys and ch

31、ild-care books. “We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people, ” said Matthew J. Estes, Baby Cares president. “It starts during pregnancy, when the anxiety and needs are highest. ” Baby Care works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by Baby Care advise parents,

32、explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six. Baby Care opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years. It is a new model for China and develops a market in young childrens education and health that no other companies are in. 29. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us? A. Educational toys a
