A

I have had all kinds of interesting neighbors since the early days

of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and

watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me

watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very

interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”.

The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived

in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although

they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which

ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless

to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they

said the pet was scared of my screams and didnt appear until the party

was over.

Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate.

I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just

did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing

that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my

mother.

The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite,

as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp

that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my

birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed

as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was

picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.

Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society.

But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to

be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.

To the mom I used to be:

Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life ---

start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association,

teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends

and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your

husband. You were a “glass half full” person who often felt so much joy.

You always looked forward, smiled and danced.

Two years ago, on December 14,2012, the world changed and you changed

with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your

sons school and killed six educators and twenty first- graders. Your

eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some

monsters are real. He describes it as the day “when evils came to my

school.” Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love,

with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(微笑)，was killed. Shot

multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special- education

assistant who also died while trying to protect him.

The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your

child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your

eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his

brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husbands face. The way

you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and

family seem foreign.

… …

But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone

far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you

really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know

what you should do is try everything to protect more children. Youre

fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs.

With love,

Nicole Hockley, Dylans mom

D

Life is not easy in senior high school. Youve got the pressure of

studies and exams.

From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When

depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the

strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.

Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say.

While too much can lead t o high blood pressure and heart disease, not

enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has

reported.

The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US,

discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they dont do activities

they normally enjoy.

The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although

experts say the body needs only half as much.

However, most adults in the developed world consume(消耗)around ten

grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today,

77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods,

like frozen dinners and fast food.

The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities

—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases,

for example high blood pressure.

Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance

—almost like a drug.

One sign of addiction is using a substance even when its known to be

harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns,

but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find

low-salt foods tasteless.

Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people

didnt need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate

a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began

to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and

wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.

32. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph

mean?

A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty

33. The major role of salt is to ____________.

A. help the body work well

B. help fight against depression

D. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs

D. help people enjoy sugary substances

34. Which of the following statements is true?
