For John and Amy, birthdays have always been a big deal—a welcome excuse to celebrate life．When their son, Alex, three in 2005, they invited 20 friends to a nearby park．Not long after that the were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to ．“We wanted to do something that would have a（n） on our community（社区）, and that our young child could in．We started wondering what fortunate kids do on their birthdays．The next day, we called a local shelter, and learnt that children typically didn’t do to celebrate at all．No cake．No gifts．No party．” The couple said．
Several weeks later, threw a party at the for the children who had birthdays that month．They decorated, served cake, and danced with 50 kids．Alex helped presents．
that first party, the couple have turned their simple idea Birthday Blessings, a non-profit that hosts monthly parties at 10 shelters．
To date, Birthday Blessings （birthday blessings．org．） has thrown more than 500 at different shelters and handed out 22,000 party to nearly 4,000 homeless children in and around their community．
Birthday Blessings is entirely by volunteers．The charity（慈善）will take almost anything — toys, clothing, candy, baby items— it’s not used．“These kids never get anything new．” John said, “It makes a big to them psychologically．”
Being “part of this labor love” is making an impression on their son Alex．On his seventh birthday, his grandparents sent a check． it, the first thing he said was that he wanted to give half to the birthday kids．

试题分析：文章介绍了一个为无家可归的孩子举办生日聚会的慈善组织Birthday Blessings的形成过程。John and Amy为了让自己的孩子能够懂得关心别人而为孤儿院的孩子们举办生日宴会，最后成立了这个慈善组织。他们的孩子也从中学会了关爱他人。
1.考查系动词辨析。句意为：当他们的孩子艾力克斯三岁时。表示年龄的变化使用turn,这是turn的固定用法。故选择A。
2.考查名词辨析。通过上下文可知夫妇俩想让孩子能够关爱他人。所以选择D，意为夫妇。选项A意为避难所；选项B意为邻居；选项C意为朋友。故选D。
3.考查代词辨析。根据句意：夫妇俩想尽办法去教育孩子给予他人。选项A意为另一个人；选项B意为又一个人；选项C意为其他人；选项D意为互相。根据句意，选择C。
4.考查名词辨析。句意为：我们想做一些事，能够对我们的社区有一定的影响。选项A意为印象；选项B意为影响；选项C意为允许；选项D意为限制。根据句意选择B，且构成短语：have an influence on…意为：对…有影响。
5.考查动词辨析。通过上文the couple were brainstorming ways to teach Alex about giving to others.可知这对夫妇是希望孩子有所影响，那么他们自然希望自己的孩子也能加入这一事情中。故选择A。构成短语：participate in，意为参加，参与。
6.考查副词辨析。根据下文The next day, we called a local shelter可知这对夫妇打电话给收容所。那么，自然可推断出本句意思为：我们开始想知道那些不幸的孩子们在自己的生日时在做些什么。故选择B，表示不幸的。
7.考查形容词辨析。根据上文，这对夫妇打电话给收容所可知这些孩子既然呆在收容所，也就说明他们无家可归。选项A意为没有钱的；选项B意为没有工作的；选项C意为无家可归的；选项D意为没有希望的。根据句意选择C。
8.考查不定代词辨析。根据下文No cake．No gifts．No party．” The couple said．可知，这些孩子在自己生日这天，什么都没有。故选择B，构成短语：not anything，意为：什么都没有。
9.考查名词辨析。根据句意： John and Amy这家人在收容所为当月过生日的孩子举行了一个生日聚会。通过上文描述可知，他们希望自己的孩子也参与，故选择D最为恰当。
10.考查名词辨析。根据上文讲解可知，是在收容所举办聚会。选项A意为收容所、避难所；选项B意为教堂；选项C意为学校；选项D意为社区。根据句意选择A。本题属于原词重现。
11.考查动词短语辨析。这里是指Alex帮助分发礼物。选项A意为辨认，理解；选项B意为分发；选项C意为显露；选项D意为遗漏。根据句意，选择B。
12.考查介词辨析。这道题容易误选成C，意为在第一次生日聚会后。但是这道题有个关键点就是主句the couple have turned their simple idea中所使用的时态为现在完成时，而能这样使用则要求时间状语应该是由since引导的。故选择D。
13.考查动词短语搭配。句意为：自第一次生日聚会后，这对夫妇就把这个活动变成了一个慈善活动Birthday Blessings。考查短语：turn…into…，意为：把…变成…。选项B意为把…调低、拒绝；选项C意为结果是…；选项D意为关闭。故选择A。
14.考查名词辨析。这里是指他们在不同的地方举行了500多次这样的生日聚会。选项A意为生日；选项B意为聚会；选项C意为礼物；选项D意为捐助。根据句意，选择B。
15.考查名词辨析。句意为：给将近4000名无家可归的孩子送去了22000份帮助。选项A意为蛋糕；选项B意为荣誉；选项C意为帮助；选项D意为惊奇。根据句意选择C。
16.考查动词辨析。根据下文的volunteer可知，这里是指Birthday Blessings完全是由志愿者管理操作的。选项A意为继续；选项B意为承担；选项C意为操作、手术；选项D意为表演、执行。根据句意，选择C。

18.考查固定搭配。本句是指这样的生日聚会对孩子们的心里有很大的影响。Make a difference起作用，有影响。故选择A。
19.the first thing he said was that he wanted to give half to the birthday kids．
可知，这样的活动以及对艾力克斯产生了较大的影响。故选择D，意为已经。

The elephant and the fly
An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came，flying and buzzing (嗡嗡叫) near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away once more.
This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”
The fly answered, “I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them．What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get involved in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely absorbed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around. So when you are in charge of your five senses and attention, your mind will become calm too.”

This morning on my way to school I was deep moved by what I saw outside a Patience is of a great importance in our daily life. One day I waited for a bus to come at a stop. 30 minute had passed, and no bus came. Upset and annoyed, I decided to walk with foot. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I had chosen to take the next bus, I would have had to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem.

科目：高中英语 来源：2014-2015学年陕西西安临潼区华清中学高三第一次模拟考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：其他题
A. How inner beliefs can help
B. Why are habits so important
C. How to develop positive habits
D. Improve your life
E. You can do it
F. Action plan
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
1._________________________________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
2._________________________________
There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
3.__________________________________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”
4.____________________________________
It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc..
5._____________________________________
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.
