WHY VOLUNTEER?

Volunteering is a great way to get work experience, and may be one of the most valuable experiences of your life. You learn new skills by trying new jobs. Better yet, you can meet people who can give you guidance and possibly help you to find a paid job later on. Employers will be impressed that you took the initiative to learn new things. You can learn how a charitable organization works. Best of all, you will be taking action to promote what you think is important and probably be helping someone else along the way.

Instead of considering volunteering as something you do for people who are not as fortunate as yourself, begin to think of it as an exchange. Consider that most people find themselves in need at some point in their lives. You may be the person with the ability to help today, but tomorrow you may be someone who needs others' help. Even now you might be on both sides of the service cycle: maybe you are a tutor for someone who can't read, while last month the volunteer ambulance corps rushed you to the emergency room. Volunteering also includes “self-help.” So if you are active in your neighborhood crime watch, your home is protected while you protect your neighbors' homes, too. It's a double win: your community or cause benefits from your work and you benefit from your experiences. In a word, adding your effort to the work of others makes everyone's lives better.

1. After you have helped others, you might{A; B; C}.

A. get guidance from someone else and maybe get a job.

B. feel that you're not as fortunate as others.

C. feel that you are special.

2. What is the meaning of the word “initiative” in paragraph1? {A; B; C}

A. benefit

B. positive power

C. energy

3. Volunteering is a great way to get {A; B; C}.

A. a lot of money to become rich.

B. work experience and learn new skills.

C. pride in daily life.

4. When we help others we internally(本质上){A; B; C}

A. help ourselves.

B. benefit from others.

C. get something different in life.

5. By volunteering, we can make{A; B; C}.

A. you protect your neighbors' homes.

B. the volunteer ambulance corps rushed you.

C. one's life easier and happier."

When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a un
iversity in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is university—colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students.

The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the present day college system.

Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.

Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don't try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the term, you' 11 know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place, and wait.

Cambridge can be described as a university town because______.

A.the university building fit in well with the rest of the town

B.the size of Cambridge is just as big as the town

C.the separating line between the university and the town is not obvious

D.the university is located in the town

第3题

After retirement from medical research, my wife and I built our home in a gated community
surrounded by yacht clubs and golf courses on Hilton Head Island. But when I left for the other side of the island, I was traveling on unpaved roads lined with leaky cottages. The "lifestyle" of many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existence

By talking to the local folks, I discovered that the vast majority of the maids, gardeners, waitresses and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous to me. I wondered why someone didn't do something about that. Then my father's words, which he had asked his children daily when they were young, rang in my head again: "What did you do for someone today?"

Even though my father had died several years before, I guess I still didn't want to disappoint him. So I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services, we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached liked the idea, so long as they could be relicensed without troubles. It took one year and plenty of persistence, but I was able to persuade the state legislators to create a special license for doctors volunteering in not-for-profit clinics.

The town donated land, local residents contributed office and medical equipment and some of the potential patients volunteered their weekends ornamenting the building that would become the clinic. We named it Volunteers in Medicine and we opened its doors in 1994, fully staffed by retired physicians, nurses and dentists as well as nearly 150 nonprofessional volunteers. That year we had 5,000 patient visits; last year we had 16,000.

Somehow word of what we were doing got around. Soon we were receiving phone calls from retired physicians all over the country, asking for help in starting VIM clinics in their communities. We did the best we could--there are now 15 other clinics operating--but we couldn't keep up with the need. Yet last month I think my father's words found their way up north, to McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of Tylenol (泰诺: 一种感冒药). A major grant from McNeil will allow us to respond to these requests and help establish other free clinics in communities around the country.

What is the passage mainly about?

A.The contrast between the rich and the poor on an island.

B.The story of a man who likes to give others advice.

C.The life and work of a great father.

D.The inspiration of a father's words.

第5题

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.

Another way is energy conservation ( 节能 ), which means using energy more efficiently ( 有效地 ). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.

Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压轴 ) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.

1.At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃ ?()

A、One km.

B、Two km.

C、Three km.

D、Four km.

2.From the text we learn that coal().

A、is quite easy to produce

B、is not used most efficiently

C、is the most common source of energy

D、could be renewed only by new technology

3.The writer tells about the "special houses" because they().

A、show the excellent skills of the builders

B、serve as an example of energy conservation

C、are heated by different sources of energy

D、are warmer than other types of houses

4.How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?()

A、Two.

B、Three.

C、Four.

D、Five.

5.The underlined words "geothermal energy" in the third paragraph mean().

A、renewable source

B、underground source

C、heat inside the earth

D、temperature of the earth

第7题

Can a computer think? That depends on what you mean by "think". If solving a mathematical
problem is "thinking", then a computer can "think" and do so much faster than a man. Most mathematical problems can be solved quite mechanically by repeating certain straightforward processes over and over again. Even the simple computers of today can be geared for that.

It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are "programmed" to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are "programmed" to do. Our genes "program" us.

Our "program" is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define "thinking" in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great play or composing a great symphony, into developing a brilliant scientific theory or a profound moral judgment. In that sense, computers certainly can't think and neither can most humans.

Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as we. If it could be made as complete as a human brain, it could be the equivalent of a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do.

But how lung will it take to build a computer complex enough to duplicate(复制) the human brain? Perhaps not as long as some think. Long before we approach a computer as complex as our brain, we will perhaps build a computer that is at least complex enough to design another computer more complex than itself. This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on.

In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over and there is a "complexity explosion". In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but far go beyond it.

What information about computers can we get from the passage?

A.They are simple and they operate mechanically.

B.They can solve all kinds of difficult problems.

C.Computers are so advanced that they will control human being someday in the future.

D.They are not as complicated as human brain.

回答下列各题 How to Read Annual Reports First, turn back to the report of the certifie
d public accountant. This third-party auditor will tell you right off the bat if Galaxys report conforms with"generally accepted accounting principles". Then go to the footnotes. Check to see whether earnings are up or down. The footnotes often tell the whole story. Next, turn to the letter from the chairman. Typically addressed "to our shareholders," its up front in more ways than one. The chairmans tone reflects the personality and well-being of the company. In his letter, the chairman should tell you how the company fared this year. But more importantly, the letter should tell you why. Keep an eye out for sentences that start with "Except for..." and " Despite the ..." They are clues to problems. On the positive side, a chairmans letter should give you insights into the companys future and its stance on economical or political issues that may affect it. Now begin digging into the numbers! One source is the balance sheet. It is a snapshot of how the company stands at a single point in time. At the top are assets -- everything the company owns. Things that can quickly be turned into cash are current assets. On the bottom are liabilities --. everything the company owes. Current liabilities are the debts due in one year, which are paid out of current assets. The difference between current assets and current liabilities is working capital, a key figure to watch from one annual report to another. If working capital shrinks, it could mean trouble. One possibility: the company may not be able to keep dividends growing rapidly. Owners equity is the difference between total assets and liabilities. It is the presumed dollar value of what the owners or shareholders own. You want it to grow. The second basic source of numbers is the income statement. It shows how much money Galaxy made or lost over the year. Most people look at one figure first. Its in the income statement at the bottom: earnings per share. Watch out. It can fool you. Galaxys management could boost earnings by selling off a plant or by cutting the budget for research and advertising. The number you should look at first in the income statement is net sales. Ask yourself: Are sales going up at a faster rate than the last time around? When sales increases start to slow, the company may be in trouble. Have sales gone down because the company is selling off a losing business? If so, profits may be soaring. Another important thing to study is the companys debt. Turn to the balance sheet, and divide long- term liabilities by owners equity. Thats the debt- to-equity ratio. A high ratio means the company borrows a lot of money to spark its growth. Thats okay if sales grow too, and if theres enough cash on hand to meet the payments. A company doing well on borrowed money can earn big profits for its shareholders. But if sales fall, watch out. The whole enterprise may slowly sink. Some companies can handle high ratios; others cant. Finally, you have to compare. Is the companys debt-to-equity ratio better or worse than it used to be? Better or worse than the industry norms? In company-watching, comparisons are all. They tell you if management is staying on top of things. According to the writer,the most important element of the chairman’s letter is

A.the expressions used.

B.the explanation given by the chairman.

C.the performance of the company during the year.

D.the company’S future described by the chairman.

听力原文:Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use

听力原文: Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.

How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

A.More people could be educated than before.

B.More ways could he used to exchange knowledge.
