in wyoming. last week i received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. in closing she called me a hero.that got me thinking about what a hero is. was i a hero because i pulled a family from a burning car? if so, how could i be a hero just because i wrote a story that saved someones life?today i looked up the word “hero”in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. it read “a person who does something brave” and also“a person who is good and noble”.that statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. so i thought about something very important. and i remembered what happened to me years ago.after my marriage of twenty years ended, i was in such a condition. i was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. when i returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. that wonderful card probably saved my life. that person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.the many stories i kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. in turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. i suppose that is why i fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. if it works, we will also become heroes.21. the main idea of the passage is _.a. why the writer should be a hero b. what a hero exactly isc. whether the writer is a hero d. that everyone is a hero22. why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?a. because he asked her son not to kill himself.b. because he saved a family from a burning car.c. because his story saved her sons life. d. because he was cute and kind to everybody.23. what does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of paragraph 5 refer to?a. the wonderful card the writer received.b. the action of sending the card.c. the fact that the sender helped the writer.d. the fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.24. according to the writer, who can be considered as a hero?a.a person who is brave b.a person who helps someone in troublec.a person who can hold a door for others d.a person who writes wonderful stories.bwashington patients with hiv, the virus that causes aids, often develop vitamin deficiencies(缺乏). a new study has found that giving these patients a multivitamin with a mineral supplement(补充) helps improve their immunity and slows the diseases progression.sub-saharan africa has always been the center of the aids epidemic. in botswana, despite aggressive prevention campaigns, one out of every four adults is infected with hiv. professor marianna baum based her latest research there. baum recruited almost 900 newly infected adults who had not yet received the anti-aids drugs that target the virus.these adults were then divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins b, c and e, the mineral selenium or a placebo（安慰剂）.most patients with hiv become deficient in these vitamins, which help boost immunity. baum said she initially thought the multivitamins alone or selenium alone would be effective in strengthening the immune system, but found that to be incorrect.“we were surprised to find that only the combination was effective,” said baum.research shows that when people with hiv receive anti-retroviral drugs (抗逆转录病毒药物) shortly after infection, they can remain healthy and are less likely to pass the virus to their sex partners. for many countries, however, the cost of these anti-aids drugs is still prohibitive. baum said the vitamin and mineral combination therapy should help low income countries better control the virus.“a simple multivitamin supplementation with selenium provided early in hiv disease can actually slow the hiv disease progression and it is safe. it is low cost and it should be provided very early in hiv infection,” said baum.baum said the supplements are not meant to replace anti-retroviral therapy, but can help those who cannot obtain the drugs.dr. anthony fauci, a world renowned expert on aids, disagrees.“i havent read the paper, but having taken care of hiv-infected individuals for three decades, i would doubt that vitamins are going to have a major effect on suppressing the virus, said fauci.fauci said vitamin and mineral supplements may make a patient generally healthier, but the only thing that truly works to suppress hiv is anti-retroviral therapy. baums study was published in the journal of the american medical association. 25.where is the passage probably taken? a. a scientific report b. a newspaper c.a school textbook d. science fiction26.what can we learn from professor baums study? a. it is vitamin deficiencies that may have caused people to develop aids. b. more than one third of people in botswana are diagnosed with hiv disease. c. professor baum divided 900 hiv patients randomly into several groups. d. only the combination of vitamins and the mineral selenium could slow aidss process.27.which of the statements is possibly supported by dr. anthony fauci? a. the finding is great news for low income hiv patients. b. vitamins will have a great impact on stopping hiv. c. anti-retroviral treatment is effective to stop hiv. d. vitamins should be used early in hiv infection.28.the underlined word “prohibitive” in paragraph 5 is closest to “_” in meaning. a. deadly b. costly c. decreasing d. forbidden cfour schoolchildren from belgrave, england were out on their bikes on wednesday evening. unexpectedly, they saw an elderly man gasping for breath in the street. they tried to call the police and ambulance service, but their phones were not working, due to network problems.before the polish man became unconscious, the children kept him calm while they flagged down(招停)，a passing driver. the children used words they had picked up from their polish classmates to translate the injured mans answer to the drivers questions. gray, 10, and his six-year-old sister, lily, stayed with the man while thyus and owen, both 11, led the ambulance to the spot where he lay. soon the man was taken to hospital.the fantastic four children who came to the aid of the elderly man deserve the highest respect for their quick thinking and courage in an emergency situation. they are a credit not only to themselves , but to their families and their school. and it is great to be able to hear such a positive story about young people.what is not so positive about this story is the fact that several adults apparently walked by without stopping to help. this seeming indifference to an emergency situation is a well-noted phenomenon which psychologists sometimes refer to as “the bystander effect”. research suggests that when a group of people witness an emergency, people are likely to assume that somebody else will intervene and they feel that the burden of responsibility is lifted from their shoulders.perhaps the answer to this sort of thing is to introduce a “good samaritan” law. this already exists in france and places a legal responsibility on people who witness an emergency situation to help put as long as they can do so. this certainly seems to remove any doubt about who bears the burden of responsibility for offering assistance-everybody!29.in paragraph 3, the author mainly_a. shows his great sympathy for the manb. gives high praise to the four children.c. offers his special thanks to the driverd. expresses his anger at several adults30.what can we learn about the elderly man?a. he spoke polish with the childrenb. he fell from his bike and got injuredc. he was taken to hospital by a passing driver.d. he recovered consciousness in the street31.the underlined word “intervene” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_.a. be curious b. go on c. give up d. get involved32.in france, if an emergency happens to someone,_.a. offering help to him is required by law b. people have the right to leave the scenec. others must get permission before helping himd. the witnesses will be punished if the rescue fails dchina daily forum(论坛) iphone by china dailyopen/ tunes to buy and download apps.description about china daily forumchina daily forum, launched in 2003,
