My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 16 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 17 Christmas after all.
18 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a 19 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 20 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 21 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 22 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The 23 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 24 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 25 us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to 26 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 27 —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 28 . Our Christmas morning 29 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 30 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 31 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 32 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 33 in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 34 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 35 gesture can make a world of difference.
1. A. chance B. time C. anxiety D. ability

“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change,” the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,” he said.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give off a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.
Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. “I have a little bit and enjoy it,” said Torode. “Too much for any person is bad. But there’s a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we’d save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”
Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “Eating less meat would help, there’s no question about that,” Watson said.
However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory,” he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.”
5. What is directly related to global warming?
A. Consumption of meat. B. Growth of cattle.
C. Methane from ruminants. D. Processing of meat.
6. Who holds a view opposite to the others’ in the passage?
A. Rajendra Pachauri. B. John Torode. C. Robert Watson. D. Chris Lamb.
7. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A. we should try to keep away from cattle B. ruminants should not be left outdoors
C. the meat industry will soon close down D. we must do our duty to save the earth
8. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Less meat, slower global warming
B. More animals, more greenhouse gas
C. Less imported food, better our environment
D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change
