There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Although eating properly is important, being kind to others is also good tor your health. Studies show that people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.
In one study at Arizona State University researchers, found that many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act. This feeling, called “a help‟s high” may actually help reduce stress (压力) as the body releases (释放) naturally painkillers.
Stress can cause‟ serious health problems, and heart depression, and .sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer *stress-related health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about themselves as well. They had higher self-esteem (自尊), and were‟ happier. Many believe this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who are more outgoing are often healthier.
Another study at the University of Michigan‟s Survey Research Center confirmed the health benefits of volunteering. A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn‟t. Although you shouldn‟t need a reason to be helpful, it is nice to know that kindness may help you live longer.

A. healthy people are kind because they have more energy
B. one has to eat an apple every day to become healthy

Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!” Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn‟t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn‟t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first
time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.
“Why” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn‟t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn‟t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.
“Snakes don‟t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.
66. Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. he didn‟t want to read any more
B. he was in great fear of it
C. he wanted to praised her daughter
D. he hated snakes
67. Father‟s patient explanation shows that ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. his daughter didn‟t want to listen to him at all
B. he knew children saw only excellence in the world
C. his daughter couldn‟t follow him at all
D. he wanted to teach everything to her
68. In this reading the underlined word „renew‟ means ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. to begin to do something again
B. to make something newer than before
C. to replace something old with something new
D. to cover something old with something new
69. We learn from the reading that＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. the girl seemed to understand what her father said
B. the girl wasn‟t interested in the explanation
C. the father was good at raising snakes
D. the father liked the snake skin better
