Virtue,by definition,is the moral excellence of a person.Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good.They are honest,respectful,generous,forgiving and kind,for example.They do the right thing,and don’t bend to impulses,urges or desires,but act according to values and principles.Some might say good qualities are inborn.Actually,virtues need to be cultivated.With the habit of being virtuous,we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognised by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being.However,practising virtues is not easy.So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals,but we still never get there.We know that if we forgive,we’ll be less angry.We know it takes courage to accomplish great things.So why then,if we know what to do,are we still stuck
We have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples:kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport;trust in a relationship creates valuable,meaningful relationships;gratitude for a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a more fulfilling career;service to others can change lives,form better neighbourhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people,not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us.Our friends,families,co-workers,and neighbours will trust and rely on us.They will come to us for guidance and help.They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people.Practising virtues allows us to develop our potential,and live a more purposeful,better life.

There’s something satisfying about volunteering.Studies have shown that volunteering helps people who donate their time feel more socially connected,thus warding off loneliness and depression.But a growing body of evidence suggests that people who give their time to others might also be rewarded with better physical health,including lower blood pressure and a longer lifespan.
Evidence of volunteerism’s physical effects can be found in a study.Adults over age 50 who volunteered on a regular basis were less likely to develop high blood pressure than non-volunteers.High blood pressure is an important indicator of bad health because it contributes to heart disease,stroke,and premature death.
It’s impossible for this study to prove that volunteering is directly responsible for the lower blood pressure.People who volunteer may be more likely to do other things,like eating a healthy diet or exercising,which lower blood pressure.But the results are in line with other findings on the topic.
How might volunteering contribute to lower blood pressure “Performing volunteer work could increase physical activity among people who aren’t otherwise very active,”says the leading author of the study Rodlescia Sneed,a doctoral candidate in social and health psychology.It may also reduce stress.“Many people find volunteer work helpful with respect to stress reduction,and we know that stress is very strongly linked to health outcomes,” she says.
A study found that participants who volunteered with some regularity lived longer,but only if their intentions were truly altruistic.In other words,they had to be volunteering to help others—not to make themselves feel better.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle once guessed that the essence of life is “to serve others and do good”.If recent research is any indication,serving others might also be the essence of good health.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了志愿者活动对人的身心都有好处这一现象,并分析了其背后的原因。
(　　)1.Which can replace the underlined phrase “warding off ” in Paragraph 1
[A]Getting rid of.
[B]Keeping up with.
[C]Running out of.
[D]Putting up with.
(　　)2.Why does the author mention the study led by Rodlescia Sneed
[A]To prove the benefit of volunteering to health.
[B]To find out volunteerism’s physical effects on heart.
[C]To explain the connection between exercise and health.
[D]To warn readers of the danger of volunteering to blood pressure.
(　　)3.What can we learn from what Rodlescia Sneed said
[A]Volunteers are supposed to be more outgoing.
[B]Volunteer work can make people lack sports.
[C]Taking appropriate exercise can strengthen social connection.
[D]Performing volunteer work contributes to reducing stress.
(　　)4.What’s the text mainly about
[A]Volunteering can lower blood pressure.
[B]Volunteering is beneficial to mental health.
[C]Volunteering may be good for body and mind.
[D]Volunteering can avoid suffering from heart disease.Unit 2　课时作业(四)

At thirteen,I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.
In my first literature class,Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write something after reading it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses,“You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried,but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.Due to some special circumstances,he did not get much education.But Louis didn’t give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots (点),which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class,being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was not different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problem,why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words,“See what you can do when you keep trying.”

Ⅲ.七选五(共5题;每题2.5分,共12.5分)
Every week,even every day,we have lots of different tasks to finish.1.　　　 However, the advantages of volunteering can be huge.Volunteering can offer help to people in need.But the advantages can be even greater for the volunteers.Why
2.　　　 Studies have found that when you stop thinking about your own problems and focus on someone other than yourself,your stress levels start to go down,your immune system (免疫系统) is strengthened and your overall sense of life satisfaction increases.This is because helping someone else gives you a sense of purpose and makes you pay attention to the positive things in life.
Volunteering helps you develop new relationships.3.　　　 And it gives you the good chance to communicate with them.These can help you form close relationships with them.These relationships can have a lasting influence on your life.
Volunteering teaches you valuable job skills.During volunteering,you can have lots of chances to learn useful and important skills.For example,volunteer organisations always provide on-the-job training courses for volunteers before they start the work.Those courses can help you learn some skills for certain jobs.4.　　　
Volunteering makes your resume (简历) attractive.Are you stuck for things to write on your resume to get the job you want 5.　　　 Studies have found those who volunteered had a better chance of finding a job than those who didn’t.Whether you do one thing on a regular basis or help with lots of different causes for shorter amounts of time,each voluntary experience you have looks great to your future bosses.
A.Volunteering makes you independent.

Dear John,
Knowing that you are interested in Lei Feng Spirit,I’m writing to tell you the activity that our class held in a nursing home on 5 March,which was called “Memorial Day of Learning from Lei Feng”.
We visited the elderly and presented them with flowers and cards to show our sincere love and respect,after which we did some cleaning and washing for them. Besides,we chatted with them about their old days and gave vivid performances to delight them.
It was through this activity that we fully realised that the awareness of respecting the elderly should be raised. And I hope we can have more activities of this kind.

Virtue,by definition,is the moral excellence of a person.Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good.They are honest,respectful,generous,forgiving and kind,for example.They do the right thing,and don’t bend to impulses,urges or desires,but act according to values and principles.Some might say good qualities are inborn.Actually,virtues need to be cultivated.With the habit of being virtuous,we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognised by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being.However,practising virtues is not easy.So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals,but we still never get there.We know that if we forgive,we’ll be less angry.We know it takes courage to accomplish great things.So why then,if we know what to do,are we still stuck
We have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples:kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport;trust in a relationship creates valuable,meaningful relationships;gratitude for a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a more fulfilling career;service to others can change lives,form better neighbourhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people,not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us.Our friends,families,co-workers,and neighbours will trust and rely on us.They will come to us for guidance and help.They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people.Practising virtues allows us to develop our potential,and live a more purposeful,better life.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章主要讲述了践行美德能让我们开发自己的潜能,过上更有意义、更美好的生活。
(　　)1.What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph
[A]They were born with virtue.
[B]They never make a mistake.
[C]They have a habit of doing good.
[D]They act on the principle of profit.
(　　)2.What is the second paragraph mainly about

[C]Trust in a relationship.
[D]Basic qualities of well-being.
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “rapport” probably mean in the third paragraph

There’s something satisfying about volunteering.Studies have shown that volunteering helps people who donate their time feel more socially connected,thus warding off loneliness and depression.But a growing body of evidence suggests that people who give their time to others might also be rewarded with better physical health,including lower blood pressure and a longer lifespan.
Evidence of volunteerism’s physical effects can be found in a study.Adults over age 50 who volunteered on a regular basis were less likely to develop high blood pressure than non-volunteers.High blood pressure is an important indicator of bad health because it contributes to heart disease,stroke,and premature death.
It’s impossible for this study to prove that volunteering is directly responsible for the lower blood pressure.People who volunteer may be more likely to do other things,like eating a healthy diet or exercising,which lower blood pressure.But the results are in line with other findings on the topic.
How might volunteering contribute to lower blood pressure “Performing volunteer work could increase physical activity among people who aren’t otherwise very active,”says the leading author of the study Rodlescia Sneed,a doctoral candidate in social and health psychology.It may also reduce stress.“Many people find volunteer work helpful with respect to stress reduction,and we know that stress is very strongly linked to health outcomes,” she says.
A study found that participants who volunteered with some regularity lived longer,but only if their intentions were truly altruistic.In other words,they had to be volunteering to help others—not to make themselves feel better.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle once guessed that the essence of life is “to serve others and do good”.If recent research is any indication,serving others might also be the essence of good health.
