The Stranger Who Changed My Life
It was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me.
I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,” he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?”
“It’s OK,”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “What do you do?” I asked.
“I am a doctor at New York Hospital.”
Many times during long rides, I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help.
“Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants to job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?”
He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.” He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.
Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was
given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.

Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully
Weight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.
“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.
It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at
University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were less likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’ interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.
How should parents talk to kids about eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don’t compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that’s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating. 11、The writer’s friend advised her not to
A、worry about her son’s weight C、change her own eating habits
B、take the risk of gaining weight D、talk to her son about his weight
12、The study found that some kids had fewer eating problems because they
A、learned to eat healthily C、focused on their weight
B、took part in the study D、believed the scientists
13、When told about their fatness, some kids

B、became angry
D、refused to take any advice
C、began to eat no food
14、If a father focuses on his daughter’s interests, she will feel
A、amused
B、encouraged
C、surprised
D、challenged
15、When talking to their kids about eating behaviors, parents should

Plagiarism（剽窃）
① You just found some good stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It’s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.
② The word “plagiarism” comes from Latin. It means stealing a person’s ideas. But it’s not always easy
to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it’s accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’re read.
③ Though plagiarism can be accidental, it’s sometimes done on purpose, That’s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don’t have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.
④ Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism. If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.
⑤ To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’ll need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report. Task 1
16、Paragraph① 17、Paragraph② 18、Paragraph③ 19、Paragraph④ 20、Paragraph⑤ Task 2
21、You commit plagiarism when you 22、Sometimes it is hard to tell whether 23、Copying whole paragraphs can 24、Once caught for plagiarism,
25、If you publish something great, people may

Imagine a world without fruit. We wouldn’t be very healthy. We get a lot of important vitamins from eating fruit.
We think of fruit primarily as something to eat. 26 Fruit is part of a flowering plant and it carries the seeds. The purpose of fruit is to protect a plant’s seeds and help them get spread about. Wind and
water spread seeds. So do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds. 27
There are two main types of fruit: fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy. Pears, bananas and apples are all fleshy fruits. 28 Grains like wheat and rice, or nuts like chestnuts(板栗), are dry fruits. But wait: You’ve eaten oranges and grapes without seeds. How can they be fruits? It’s because people have changed the way they grow fruit. They can now grow seedless fruit. Seedless fruit comes from special plants that are made by combining two varieties of a fruit to form a new variety. These special plants grow and produce seeds. 29 These plants cannot reproduce themselves. They can make fruit, but the fruit has no seeds.
Fruits are a source of substances that keep us alive and healthy. So people make use of fruits for many foods. We make juices from them. We make jams and sweets. 30 Beer comes from grains and wine comes from grapes, and some particular wines are made from apples, peaches, or other fruits.

Doing mental activities is helpful. Reading books and writing at any age may save memory, a new 31 finds.
The study was conducted by some American neurologists（神经病学家）. It 32 294 people. They were given 33 on memory and thinking. They had the tests once a year for six years. They were also to talk about their mental activities during childhood, in their youth, during middle age and at their 34 age.
Some of those people did mental activities both 35 and late in life. They had a slower 36 of decline in memory than the others. The others 37 did such activities. Their rate of decline in memory was 48% 38 .
“Mental activities like reading and writing are great. They 39 bring benefits. We shouldn’t 40 their effects on our children, ourselves and our parents,” said Robert Wilson, lead author of the study.

Labor Market Decline
The decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That (result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive (grow) in world trade since 1960. As (manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have (move) from the U.S. to countries where wages are low. In (add), technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new (machine) have made many of their tasks (necessary). Finally, the high rate of (employment) caused by these factors has tended to drive wages down further.
