Instead of paying to ship the items you don’t need to your new home,why not donate them?Your old household goods like furniture will go to a new home where they will be appreciated.Here are some charities that might help.
Furniture Bank Network
Furniture Bank Network helps people furnish their homes with practical secondhand items donated by people within the community.Tax receipts for the value of the donated items are given to donors(捐赠者).Recipients get the furniture for free.People can get furnishings from their local Furniture Bank only if they are referred to the organisation through one of its social service partners.It also encourages applicants to help the organisation with volunteer work.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit.It collects monetary donations to build and remodel affordable housing so that those in need can apply for.You can also donate furniture and other household goods to Habitat for Humanity.It resells these items in home improvement stores and uses the money to fund its humanitarian efforts.
Goodwill
Goodwill resells donated furniture and other household items to fund its charitable objectives.Goodwill uses its earnings to provide career training and employment assistance to unemployed individuals.It also offers discounts to the people enrolled in its training programs,allowing them to affordably furnish their homes and buy clothes for their families.
Pick up My Donation
Pick up My Donation isn’t actually a donation centre and it doesn’t pick up your donations.Instead,it helps you find local nonprofits and charity shops that do.If your donation isn’t large enough for a local nonprofit to send a truck,Pick up My Donation can still help.The company will put you in touch with a local moving company to pick up your donation and take it to a nearby centre.

Our house was across the street from a hospital.We rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic.One summer evening as I was preparing supper,there was a knock at the door.I opened it to see a truly awful looking man hardly taller than my eight-year-old daughter.
But the frightening thing was his swollen face.He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but no one seemed to have a room.For a moment I hesitated,but his next words convinced me:“I could sleep on the porch(门廊).My bus leaves early in the morning.”
I went inside and finished getting supper.When we were ready,I asked him to join us.“No,thank you.I have plenty.” And he held up a brown paper bag.When I had finished the dishes,I went out to talk with him for a few minutes.
He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter,who was hopelessly disabled,and her five children.He didn’t tell it by way of complaint.In fact,he was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease.He thanked life for giving him the strength to keep going.
At bedtime,we put a small camp bed in the children’s room for him.When I got up in the morning,the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch.He refused breakfast,but just before he left,he smiled,“Your children made me feel at home.Grownups are bothered by my face,but children don’t seem to mind.” I told him he was welcome to come again.
In the years he came to stay overnight with us,there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or vegetables.Other times we received packages.After we knew that he must walk three miles to mail these and how little money he had made,the gifts become more precious.I know our family will always be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.

Heroic deeds come in all shapes and sizes.Some of them require bravery in the face of danger,and others result from a simple random act of compassion.Natalie Fernando was taking her 5-year-old autistic(自闭症的) son Rudy for a seaside walk when the little boy got into a meltdown,a breakdown of self-control.
“My son loves to walk,but he hates to turn around and walk back.We usually try to walk in a circuit to avoid this,but on his favourite walk with the boats we have no choice but to turn back.This will often lead to a meltdown,one which I can normally handle but not for today,” Fernando explained on her Facebook page,Better to Be Different.
The area at Southend-on-Sea is a popular walking spot in Essex,England.Knowing she and Rudy were drawing attention and that her son’s outburst might go on for an hour,Fernando was apologetic but she soon found herself subjected to the blaming stares and comments of passers-by.
That’s when a total stranger named Ian stopped to ask if she was okay.When Fernando explained what was going on,as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do,he lay down on the ground close to Rudy and engaged him in conversation.The calming behaviour quickly turned the situation around.After Rudy became calm,Ian walked Rudy and his mom back to their car.
“I wish there were more of this man around and I am beyond thankful,” Fernando said.“I will not forget his kindness... Thanks,Ian from Southend Sea Front,you truly are a kind man.”
In addition to her gratitude,Fernando hopes Ian’s unselfish behaviour might inspire others to look deeper before making social judgments themselves.“It’s said a lot at the moment,‘In a world where you can be anything,be kind’,” she wrote.“Words are easy,these actions are not always so easy.This man is living the words and I couldn’t be more grateful.If you see a parent struggling,take the time to say,‘Are you OK?’Don’t judge the parenting.Try not to judge the child.Just be kind.”
We’re all walking our own path and navigating the journey the best we can.Sometimes it takes a moment of kindness from a complete stranger to completely change your day.

Maybe you are familiar with scenes in movies where a pilot has got into an emergency mid-flight and you hear him shout “Mayday!Mayday!Mayday!”.But what does “Mayday” mean?Mayday is an internationally recognised distress call(求救信号),mostly used by pilots and boat captains.The signal can be sent out on any channel by radio communication.
This emergency call originated in the 1920s.At that time,the standard distress call was “SOS” and was typically used by navy captains.The message was sent in Morse code by telegraph.In Morse code,“SOS” is three dots,three dashes and three dots.The signal was unmistakable.However,aircraft pilots use radio calls,so sending out “SOS” could be misheard as other letters,such as “F”.
Frederick Stanley Mockford,a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London,was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress.Because of the number of flights that flew between Croydon and Paris,he chose Mayday,as it sounds similar to the French word “aider”,which means “help me”.
Facing a threatening situation,pilots are required to repeat the signal three times in case of radio interference(干扰)or loud background noise.If the pilots don’t get a reply within two minutes,they should repeat it.Once they receive a reply,more information including the code of the flight,their current situation and the number of people on board should be reported.Sometimes pilots are directed to a nearby airport or location where they can make an emergency landing.While Mayday signals indicate a life-threatening situation,they do not always end in deaths.
Despite dangers,air travel is still the safest means of transport.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了求救信号的产生和如何使用。

A.By sending “Mayday” by telegraph.
B.By calling “Mayday” by radio.
C.By sending “SOS” by telegraph.
D.By calling “SOS” by radio.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中“At that time,the standard distress call was ‘SOS’ and was typically used by navy captains.The message was sent in Morse code by telegraph.”可知,20世纪20年代以前,海军上尉们通过电报发送“SOS”进行求救。故选C项。
33.What does the text tell us about “Mayday”?
A.It is a signal mainly used in European countries.
B.It is only used by pilots and boat captains.
C.It was sent by telegraph in the beginning.
D.It was invented by a radio officer in the 1920s.

With so many things happening in the world and so much work to do in our daily life,we need easy ways to calm and relax ourselves. 36 Maybe the following ideas can help you feel more settled and supported.
Comforting smells can signal our brains to relax and stay in the present moment.It’s easy to bring a comforting smell into your home with a lovely plant or a bunch of fresh flowers. 37
Childhood objects can put comfort right into your hands.Turn to simple items like a blanket,a soft animal toy,or a souvenir from a childhood trip. 38 If they comforted you in your younger years,they can certainly do so again.
Nature might be the fundamental source of comfort. 39 Being in nature’s presence can remind you that your life,like the oceans,mountains and forests,can remain steady through a lot of changes.Step outside to see what natural scenes are waiting for you,or bring the outdoors in with a houseplant,even a little small one.
40 It’s like coming home to a familiar,comforting welcome after a long journey.My comfort book is actually my collection of Cathy comics.I discovered these during my teen years,and they never fail to make me smile and bring back so many happy memories.

I highly recommend you practice Chinese calligraphy,which is an important means to deepen your understanding of what an amazing language Chinese is and what rich culture it has.What’s more,you should read more Chinese classics like Journey to the West,The Dream of Red Mansions and so on.You’ll benefit from reading these stories.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years,and one of the best teachers I have ever known is Mr Rowe.I was lucky enough to teach fourth grade together with him.
Mr Rowe had endless patience and understanding,and I learned so much from watching him.He could perform miracles,like the one he performed with Steven,one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen.Steven couldn’t stand school.He didn’t like being picked last for kickball.He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew the answers,and most importantly,he didn’t like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr Rowe’s classroom,he ignored the other students,looking angry and annoyed,and slid into his chair,knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder,but Steven pulled away.Nevertheless,Mr Rowe welcomed him,“Hi,Steven.I’m happy you are in my class.We are going to have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr Rowe were mistaken.No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his class.
So,while Mr Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed on that day of school,it seemed that Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes,Mr Rowe chose Steven to pitch(投球)the kickball at recess.“Hey,Steven,” Mr Rowe commented,“you are good at pitching.Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform.Steven learned fast and did quite well!Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball,Steven sat as close to Mr Rowe in classes as he could.When a question was asked,Steven lit up; when he knew the answer,he raised his hand; when he answered the question,his voice shook.However,he got the answer right!He said,with Mr Rowe,his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly,but it was obvious that Steven grew to love Mr Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Time passed quickly that year,and before we all knew it,it was the last day of school.
Many years later,Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom,dressed in army uniform.
参考范文
Time passed quickly that year,and before we all knew it,it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day.All the teachers filled the sidewalk,waving goodbye to the kids as the bus pulled out with their horns honking.But on that particular day,Steven walked slowly to the bus,his head down,tears in his eyes.He boarded the bus reluctantly,hesitated,and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr Rowe.“I don’t want to leave you,” He sobbed.Touched and tearful,Mr Rowe comforted him,“I will miss you,too.”
Many years later,Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom,dressed in army uniform. The young man stood tall and proud.It was Steven!Mr Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes.He hugged Mr Rowe tightly!“I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such a wonderful experience of a former student coming back,simply to say a very simple “Thank you”.

Instead of paying to ship the items you don’t need to your new home,why not donate them?Your old household goods like furniture will go to a new home where they will be appreciated.Here are some charities that might help.
Furniture Bank Network
Furniture Bank Network helps people furnish their homes with practical secondhand items donated by people within the community.Tax receipts for the value of the donated items are given to donors(捐赠者).Recipients get the furniture for free.People can get furnishings from their local Furniture Bank only if they are referred to the organisation through one of its social service partners.It also encourages applicants to help the organisation with volunteer work.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit.It collects monetary donations to build and remodel affordable housing so that those in need can apply for.You can also donate furniture and other household goods to Habitat for Humanity.It resells these items in home improvement stores and uses the money to fund its humanitarian efforts.
Goodwill
Goodwill resells donated furniture and other household items to fund its charitable objectives.Goodwill uses its earnings to provide career training and employment assistance to unemployed individuals.It also offers discounts to the people enrolled in its training programs,allowing them to affordably furnish their homes and buy clothes for their families.
Pick up My Donation
Pick up My Donation isn’t actually a donation centre and it doesn’t pick up your donations.Instead,it helps you find local nonprofits and charity shops that do.If your donation isn’t large enough for a local nonprofit to send a truck,Pick up My Donation can still help.The company will put you in touch with a local moving company to pick up your donation and take it to a nearby centre.

Our house was across the street from a hospital.We rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic.One summer evening as I was preparing supper,there was a knock at the door.I opened it to see a truly awful looking man hardly taller than my eight-year-old daughter.
But the frightening thing was his swollen face.He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but no one seemed to have a room.For a moment I hesitated,but his next words convinced me:“I could sleep on the porch(门廊).My bus leaves early in the morning.”
I went inside and finished getting supper.When we were ready,I asked him to join us.“No,thank you.I have plenty.” And he held up a brown paper bag.When I had finished the dishes,I went out to talk with him for a few minutes.
He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter,who was hopelessly disabled,and her five children.He didn’t tell it by way of complaint.In fact,he was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease.He thanked life for giving him the strength to keep going.
At bedtime,we put a small camp bed in the children’s room for him.When I got up in the morning,the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch.He refused breakfast,but just before he left,he smiled,“Your children made me feel at home.Grownups are bothered by my face,but children don’t seem to mind.” I told him he was welcome to come again.
In the years he came to stay overnight with us,there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or vegetables.Other times we received packages.After we knew that he must walk three miles to mail these and how little money he had made,the gifts become more precious.I know our family will always be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.

Heroic deeds come in all shapes and sizes.Some of them require bravery in the face of danger,and others result from a simple random act of compassion.Natalie Fernando was taking her 5-year-old autistic(自闭症的) son Rudy for a seaside walk when the little boy got into a meltdown,a breakdown of self-control.
“My son loves to walk,but he hates to turn around and walk back.We usually try to walk in a circuit to avoid this,but on his favourite walk with the boats we have no choice but to turn back.This will often lead to a meltdown,one which I can normally handle but not for today,” Fernando explained on her Facebook page,Better to Be Different.
The area at Southend-on-Sea is a popular walking spot in Essex,England.Knowing she and Rudy were drawing attention and that her son’s outburst might go on for an hour,Fernando was apologetic but she soon found herself subjected to the blaming stares and comments of passers-by.
That’s when a total stranger named Ian stopped to ask if she was okay.When Fernando explained what was going on,as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do,he lay down on the ground close to Rudy and engaged him in conversation.The calming behaviour quickly turned the situation around.After Rudy became calm,Ian walked Rudy and his mom back to their car.
“I wish there were more of this man around and I am beyond thankful,” Fernando said.“I will not forget his kindness... Thanks,Ian from Southend Sea Front,you truly are a kind man.”
In addition to her gratitude,Fernando hopes Ian’s unselfish behaviour might inspire others to look deeper before making social judgments themselves.“It’s said a lot at the moment,‘In a world where you can be anything,be kind’,” she wrote.“Words are easy,these actions are not always so easy.This man is living the words and I couldn’t be more grateful.If you see a parent struggling,take the time to say,‘Are you OK?’Don’t judge the parenting.Try not to judge the child.Just be kind.”
We’re all walking our own path and navigating the journey the best we can.Sometimes it takes a moment of kindness from a complete stranger to completely change your day.

Maybe you are familiar with scenes in movies where a pilot has got into an emergency mid-flight and you hear him shout “Mayday!Mayday!Mayday!”.But what does “Mayday” mean?Mayday is an internationally recognised distress call(求救信号),mostly used by pilots and boat captains.The signal can be sent out on any channel by radio communication.
This emergency call originated in the 1920s.At that time,the standard distress call was “SOS” and was typically used by navy captains.The message was sent in Morse code by telegraph.In Morse code,“SOS” is three dots,three dashes and three dots.The signal was unmistakable.However,aircraft pilots use radio calls,so sending out “SOS” could be misheard as other letters,such as “F”.
Frederick Stanley Mockford,a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London,was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress.Because of the number of flights that flew between Croydon and Paris,he chose Mayday,as it sounds similar to the French word “aider”,which means “help me”.
Facing a threatening situation,pilots are required to repeat the signal three times in case of radio interference(干扰)or loud background noise.If the pilots don’t get a reply within two minutes,they should repeat it.Once they receive a reply,more information including the code of the flight,their current situation and the number of people on board should be reported.Sometimes pilots are directed to a nearby airport or location where they can make an emergency landing.While Mayday signals indicate a life-threatening situation,they do not always end in deaths.
Despite dangers,air travel is still the safest means of transport.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years,and one of the best teachers I have ever known is Mr Rowe.I was lucky enough to teach fourth grade together with him.
Mr Rowe had endless patience and understanding,and I learned so much from watching him.He could perform miracles,like the one he performed with Steven,one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen.Steven couldn’t stand school.He didn’t like being picked last for kickball.He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew the answers,and most importantly,he didn’t like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr Rowe’s classroom,he ignored the other students,looking angry and annoyed,and slid into his chair,knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder,but Steven pulled away.Nevertheless,Mr Rowe welcomed him,“Hi,Steven.I’m happy you are in my class.We are going to have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr Rowe were mistaken.No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his class.
So,while Mr Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed on that day of school,it seemed that Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes,Mr Rowe chose Steven to pitch(投球)the kickball at recess.“Hey,Steven,” Mr Rowe commented,“you are good at pitching.Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform.Steven learned fast and did quite well!Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball,Steven sat as close to Mr Rowe in classes as he could.When a question was asked,Steven lit up; when he knew the answer,he raised his hand; when he answered the question,his voice shook.However,he got the answer right!He said,with Mr Rowe,his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly,but it was obvious that Steven grew to love Mr Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Time passed quickly that year,and before we all knew it,it was the last day of school.
Many years later,Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom,dressed in army uniform.
参考范文
Time passed quickly that year,and before we all knew it,it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day.All the teachers filled the sidewalk,waving goodbye to the kids as the bus pulled out with their horns honking.But on that particular day,Steven walked slowly to the bus,his head down,tears in his eyes.He boarded the bus reluctantly,hesitated,and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr Rowe.“I don’t want to leave you,” He sobbed.Touched and tearful,Mr Rowe comforted him,“I will miss you,too.”
Many years later,Mr Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom,dressed in army uniform. The young man stood tall and proud.It was Steven!Mr Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes.He hugged Mr Rowe tightly!“I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such a wonderful experience of a former student coming back,simply to say a very simple “Thank you”.
