It could happen anywhere at any time. __1__ Most people,at one time or another,have been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness.In a sometimes cold world where people can be so focused on what they're doing,a random act of kindness can make all the difference.
They can be relatively insignificant.Hannah Bailey from London,for example,told the Metro newspaper about how she was given her fruit and vegetable shopping for free.The seller did her a kindness when it emerged she didn't have any change to pay. __2__
The city of Naples has long had a tradition called caffè sospeso”.When buying coffee,a p
erson who has recently been lucky would purchase two cups but only drink one,leaving the second one anonymously(匿名),out of the goodness of their heart,for a poor person to claim for free.__3__
However,in some cases,these little acts can be a matter of life and death.Take,for example,the unnamed commuter,who in June 2018 fell off a station platform onto an electric railway track in Toronto,Canada.A quick­thinking,but even now unknown,bystander selflessly leapt down to pull him to safety.
So,why do it? __4__ The people never meet again.According to UK charity The Mental Health Foundation,acts like these cangive our lives new purpose,show us other perspectives on our own problems and even make us feel contentregularly什么意思”.
__5__ Hold open a door for someone,deliver a compliment—even give up your seat on a bus.Help someone who is in need.It takes all kinds.It needn't be anything huge.One day,whether you need it or not,someone might help you in your hour of need.
A.So give it a try.
B.Be brave to face challenges.
C.Often,the acts aren't paid back.
D.She was happy about it all day.
E.She was in low spirits the whole day.
F.This tradition is now more common worldwide.
G.It's often unexpected,but almost never unappreciated.
答案与解析
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章说明了善举通常是意料之外的但几乎从未被忽视过。并列举了一些世界各地人们受到他人善举的事件和传统。
1G 根据上文“It could happen anywhere at any time.”(它可以发生在任何时间任何地点)可推理这是不可预测的故可对应到G选项中的“unexpected”即它通常不可预测故选G。
2.D 根据上文“The seller did her a kindness when it emerged she didn't have any change to pay.” 句意:当发现她没有零钱可付时卖家帮了她一个忙。由上文中的代词she可对应到D选项:她为这件事开心了一整天。上下文连贯通顺故选D。
3.F 根据本段第一句The city of Naples has long had a tradition called  caffè sospeso’.”可知本段讲述的是那不勒斯市有一个悠久的传统叫索斯披索咖啡。后文为描述这一传统给出的例子本空位于段尾起总结作用根据段首第一句中“tradition”可对应到F选项:这一传统现在在世界范围内更为普遍。故选F。
4.C 根据下文“The people never meet again.”这些人再也不会遇见可知这种行为是得不到回报的故可对应到C选项:通常这种行为是不会被回报的。故选C。
5.A 根据后文Hold open a door for someone,deliver a compliment—even give up your seat on a bus.Help someone who is in need.祈使句列出一些具体的善举行为可知,本空应是提出建议试一试吧,故选A。

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

Recognize your strengths.
Different body types are good for different things.What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running.Or perhaps you have non­sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing,
or acting. 
__3__
Exercise regularly.
Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself.Good physiques (体形) don't just happen. __4__ A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week.Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body.
Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on can help you build a positive body image.
__5__
Your body is just one part of who you are.Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique.So try not to let small imperfections take over.

B.Just explore talents that you feel good about.
C.So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
D.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.
