• 1．We always enjoy pointing out some unusual holidays to add to your calendar.Now jot these down，learn something new and have fun!
     Random Acts of Kindness Day （February 17）
     If you have encountered a homeless person and given money，that's a random act of kindness.The idea of this day is to get lots of people doing something kind for someone they don't know with no expectation of getting anything in return.This concept is trickier with social distancing but even a big smile and a "hi!'' from across the street qualifies.
     I Forgot Day （July 2）
     Did you forget to call Grandma on her birthday or return that soccer ball you borrowed from a friend three months ago？Today is a good day to clean the slate.Make a list of things you meant to do but forgot.Work through the list，and don't get discouraged if you don't accomplish everything in one day.Just remember to keep the list in a place where you'll see it.Otherwise，you know what will happen.
     DOGust First （August 1）
     If your family is one of the many that adopted dogs from animal shelters last year，you may not know，for example，Luna or Cooper's actual birthday.The North Shore Animal League thought of that problem in 2008 and picked today as the birthday of all shelter dogs.Give your pup extra love today，and consider what you can do to help other sheller dogs.
     World Vegetarian Day （October 1）
     It's not hard to go without meat for one day，but how about one month？The North American Vegetarian Society asks people to help reduce greenhouse gases by pledging to cat no meat，fish or fowl （basically chicken or turkey） in October.The pledge is tricky for kids to make on their own because Mom and Dad are usually in charge of preparing meals.Ask them if you can participate or if the whole family could try it.You will probably be surprised about how many tasty meals are meatless.
  
  （1）Which can be described as a random act of kindness？

  
  A．John accepted a new job for a better salary.
  B．Mr.Robert told a story in the lecture today.
  C．The Smiths drove their children to school.
  D．Sally said "hello" to a stranger in the lift.
  （2）What does the author mean by the last sentence in "I Forgot Day"？

• 3．People dream of living long.In a survey on Longevity several years ago，77 percent said they'd like to make it to 100.So we diet，count steps，pop supplements and hope for miracle treatments.Yet although diet and exercise are certainly vital for health，science shows there is another longevity secret we often overlook：finding purpose.
     Research reveals that people who believe their existence has meaning have more favorable gene expression.If a 90-year-old with a clear purpose in life develops Alzheimer's disease，that person will probably keep functioning relatively well despite some changes in the brain，one study found.Another analysis of 10 studies involving more than 136，000 people found that having purpose in life can lower your death risk by about 17 percent-about as much as following the famed Mediterranean diet.
     Two years ago when researching my new book， "Growing Young：How Friendship，Optimism and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100，" I talked to scientists and centenarians in Japan about the reason behind their nation's exceptional longevity-life expectancy at birth in that country stands at 84.2 years，almost six years longer than in the United States.While similar interviews I've conducted in the West tended to center on diet and exercise，in Japan the conversations quickly moved to ikigai，which is seen as having such measurable effects on longevity.
     In one study conducted on over 43，000 Japanese，not having ikigai was linked to a 60 percent higher risk of dying of cardiovascular disease.That's a lot.Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables per day can cut the danger of cardiovascular disease by "just" 27 percent.Elderly Japanese I interviewed talked about ikigai as "taking care of grandchildren，" "volunteering，" "keeping their street clean and pretty." So Japan's Ministry of Health，Labor and Welfare has included it in the official health promotion strategy.
     The good news is that it's possible to boost our sense of meaning and purpose through simple things，such as volunteering.If we keep such things going，if we find purpose and meaning in the current gloom，we may end up not just happier but healthier and longer-lived.
  
  （1）Why does the author compare "finding purpose" with "the Mediterranean diet"？

  
  A．They are new methods to get rid of Alzheimer.
  B．They have similar effects on people's longevity.
  C．They both have a good fame in medical science.
  D．They used to be overlooked as a vital treatment.
  （2）How do the Japanese consider ikigai as a way to enjoy a longer life？

  
  A．Well recognized.
  B．Kind of impractical.
  C．A bit ridiculous.
  D．Seemingly illogical.
  （3）What does the underlined word "it" in Para 4 refer to？

  
  A．Volunteering.
  B．The study in Japan.
  C．Ikigai.
  D．An interview.
  （4）What does the author intend to do by writing the passage？

  
  A．To investigate the true meaning of life.
  B．To explain how to live purposefully.
  C．To introduce the secret of longevity from a new perspective.
  D．To warn us of some traps when seeking longevity.

  John began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from other kids.They had two hands.He had one.
      "It started when one boy teased him." said his mother，Judy.Her boy returned to their home with questions：Why am I different？Why me？Why？
      "He actually told us he was mad at his being born with such a defect，" his mother said. "that was a huge blow to the heart." Judy admitted she didn't know what to do at that point.How could she provide answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers herself？
      A few weeks later，Judy came home from her job as a science teacher at a state school and turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader from Washington，Iowa.Trashaun Willis，then 14，had become an Internet celebrity after posting videos of his slam dunks（灌籃），and，like John，he was missing most of his left arm.Judy called John in.He was silent，watching dunk after monstrous dunk.
      At the time，it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for John-he'd see a thriving role model with a seemingly similar physical defect.And had it stayed just that，John would have been happy.Suddenly，an idea occurred to Judy.Why not reach out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build John's confidence？
      "It reassured me，" said Judy. "I know in my heart that everything's going to be OK.Trashaun has grown up to be a wonderful kid.And I know John is too." Trashaun did get serious with John.Finally，the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon a couple of months later，in April 2017，and they instantly bonded.
  
  注意：續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。
  The day was not spent on self-pity--it was really full and unforgettable.______________________
  After the meeting，John learned to accept his disability.____________________
