Recently I came in contact with the true meaning of love.That would have been,Kane,a boy.Kane was the twoyearold son of Jolene,my new neighbor.
At a glance Kane was a sight.He’d been born with hard sticks for legs.And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kane’s physical shortcomings had on his family.But I also witnessed much more than that.
I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child,a family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was different.Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around.Using his hands to move,Kane moved the cart to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do.Kane worked that little cart like a master.Kane was a vital focus of the entire family.He was more than just a member of the family;he was the soul.This child was the driver,the motivator,and the founder of much of the interaction.
Much later in my life,I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren’t getting what love was all about.Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highlydeveloped spirit with great wisdom.
Kane demanded attention,but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings.In his mind,he had no challenges or shortcomings.The truth is that he
received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane had and still has a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all,so we might learn that love is beyond all things.Kane,a fragile yet lovely baby,was here to teach us all an important lesson.And at the age of two he did just that.
【文章大意】 这是一篇关于什么是爱的文章,通过描述“我”的邻居Kane,一个两岁大但身体有缺陷的孩子的家庭成长环境,告诉我们:爱可以战胜一切困难。

A.It was ridiculous for them to make a cart for Kane.
B.They were greatly brave to face all the difficulties.
C.They were strange because they locked Kane at home.
D.It was respectable for them to start their own business.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child, a family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was different.”可推知,这个家庭勇敢地面对所有的困难,故选B项。
6.How did Kane “go to” everywhere he wanted to go?
A.By moving his cart with his own hands.
B.By asking his father to lead him ahead with a stick.
C.By asking his grandparents to push him everywhere.
D.With the help of a babysitter employed for him.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Using his hands to move, Kane moved the cart...was able to do.”可知,Kane用他的双手移动手推车,故选A项。
7.Kane needed attention because he wanted to show ________.

People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents,according to the new research from the University of Michigan.
Workers who are joboriented are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office.Careeroriented adults—your typical “workaholic”—value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement,and gain much of their identity from their jobs.Callingoriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.
In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate,researchers found that how teenagers view their parents’ work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.
It’s not a straightforward transfer of values.People who perceive their father to have a strong careerorientation are more likely to be careeroriented themselves,but careerdetermined mothers have no effect on their kids’ work orientation.The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms.When the study’s participants were teenagers,mostly in the 1980s,men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.
Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a joborientation mentality.Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up,probably because they’ve been raised to value social,rather than instrumental,life experiences.
Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence,but only in the case of callingoriented children.As our society favors money and professional achievement,a child with two callingoriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.
Children can affect their parents’ work ethic,too.Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity—and could help raise that next generation of careeroriented workers.
【文章大意】 据密歇根大学的研究,孩子对工作的态度受父母的影响,特别是父亲。如果父母所属的工作类型相同,父母对孩子的这种影响力会增强。

A new German study has uncovered evidence that there is a strong link between traffic jams and developing a heart attack.It has been found that individuals were three times more likely to develop a condition if they had recently got stuck in traffic,most probably because of the exposure to the car fumes and other pollution they breathed.
The researchers analyzed data of heart attack cases between February 2024 and December 2024.They interviewed nearly 1,500 patients to gather information and figure out what could be potential triggers for a heart attack.The participants were asked a standardized set of questions,such as what they were doing on the day of the heart attack,where exactly they went,what means of transportation they used and how much time they spent in a traffic jam.
The experts found that driving a car turned out to be the most common source of traffic exposure.However,using public transportation and riding a bicycle were also other forms of traffic exposure.The researchers reported that 8% of all heart attack cases were specifically linked to having been in traffic.In general,time spent in any type of transportation in traffic was associated with a more than 3 times higher risk of experiencing a heart attack within the first hour immediately following the exposure.
The team has also found that women,elderly men,patients who were unemployed,and those with a history of angina (心绞痛) appeared to be particularly sensitive and were affected the most by traffic.Female participants,in fact,were more likely to have a 5 times greater risk of a heart attack following such exposure,compared to men.
【文章大意】 德国的一项新研究发现,陷入交通堵塞和患心脏病之间有很大联系。

13.The researchers came to the conclusion ________.
A.by doing experiments in hospitals
B.by observing the traffic in the streets
C.by surveying patients in hospitals
D.by interviewing drivers trapped in traffic jams
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They interviewed nearly 1,500 patients...”可知,研究者通过调查医院的患者,然后分析结果的方式得出结论“there is a strong link between traffic jams and developing a heart attack”。
14.From the last two paragraphs,we can know that ________.
A.nearly half of all heart attack cases have a link with traffic
B.taking public transportation will certainly avoid heart attacks
C.women are less likely to be affected by traffic than men
D.unemployed women patients may be affected by traffic most

15.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Traffic Jams Are a Great Concern
B.Be Sure to Avoid Traffic Jams
C.Traffic Jams May Lead to Heart Attacks
D.Get Your Heart Away from Traffic Jams
解析:选C。标题归纳题。文章第一段提出研究结果“there is a strong link between traffic jams and developing a heart attack”,下文就此展开论述,所以C项作文章标题最佳。
