I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we accept the rat race (疯狂竞争) values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have always received A's in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks' home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept(哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future, I wish to be more skilled in amending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all.

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2009. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货)， saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
35. From this story, we can see humanity is______________.
A. selfish B.mean C. kind D. cold-hearted

Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel anxious before exams, which is actually quite nutural among students. But this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.
Above all, you should keep a good state of mind. That is to say, you need to have confidence in yourself and look at everything positively. Additionally, it is advisable for you to listen to music, take exercise and communicate with your friends, which helps to get rid of pressure. Last but not least, what really matters is to keep trying and never give up.
I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
