1.Want to know more about how World Food Programme helps women all over the world?Here is a quick look at the valuable things it has done.
Investing(投資) In Bulls,Woman Begins To Escape From Poverty
In Shahinoor's household there were days when she struggled to put even one meal on the family table.She and her husband are among Bangladesh's poorest:those with no land,no wealth and little hope of breaking out of hunger and poverty.But a new programme to unlock the entrepreneurial(創(chuàng)業(yè)的) spirit of Bangladeshi women has transformed her life.
Food Aid Brings Fresh Water To Nepalese Village
Kanukura,33,says that carrying water up the mountain slopes to her village used to be the hardest part of her day.It's a job that mainly fell to women in this part of Nepal,who faced a difficult and tiring climb when they needed water.But that's changed now,thanks to a new village tap,from which women like Kanukura can get clean drinking water whenever they need it.
In Colombia,F(xiàn)ood Assistance Is Part Of Response To Violence Against Women
In Colombia,WFP assists many victims of sexual and gender-based violence,providing them with food assistance as they recover.As part of her work for WFP,Mariangela Bizzarri recently visited a town on Colombia's Pacific coast to meet some of these women and to assess the effect of the violence they have experienced.She sent us this personal account of one day of meetings.
Afghanistan Diary-Day Six
On the final day of Silke's trip to central Afghanistan,she meets three women,each of whom impresses her with their determination to improve their own lives,and those of their families and their community.One of them is thrilled at simply having a job in a government office.As a child the idea of working outside her home had seemed impossible.

12.It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives.As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains,many people have lost three basic abilities.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers.Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts,there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help,only to find your phone is not around.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want.People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smartphones,they get lost and anxious.
But the worst lost skills may be social ones,meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (無能的).People often bury themselves in their smartphones.As we're too absent-minded by what's happening in the virtual (虛擬的) some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even tell whether a person is happy or not.
Last August,researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles,studied 51students aged 11and 12who had over five hours'screen time every day.Their task was to tell the emotions of 48pictures of faces that were happy,sad,angry or scared.
The children made an average of 14.02mistakes at the beginning.But after a five-day camp without electronic (電子的) products,they made only 9.41mistakes on average.
Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents'numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.

32.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies thatD.
A.you are able to turn to others for help
B.others are able to call you anytime and anywhere
C.others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphone
D.you are unable to contact others without your smartphone
33.The experiment shows that without electronic products,one couldA.
A.recognize more facial expressions correctly
B.lose the sense of direction frequently
C.tell different emotions immediately
D.tell more pictures of faces easily
34.Overusing smartphones,people will probablyC
A.have no sense of numbers
B.fail to find their destination
C.lose face-to-face communication skills
D.weaken their senses of hearing and sight
35.What's the writer's attitude towards electronic products?B
A.Objective.
B.Critical.
C.Supportive.
D.Optimistic.

And it's all true.(53)Athe other side of that equation is that the U.S.needs to save more.For the moment,American households actually are doing so.After the personal-savings rate (54)Bto zero in 2005,the shock of the economic (55)Blast year prompted people to snap (56)Ctheir wallets.In China,the household-savings rate exceeds 20%.It is partly for policy(57)A.As we've seen,wage earners are expected to (58)Dnot only their children but their aging parents.And there is,to date,only the flimsiest (脆弱的) of publicly-funded health care and pension systems,which increases incentives for individuals to save (59)Dthey are working.But China is a society that has (60)Aesteemed personal financial prudence (謹慎).There is no (61)Cthat will change anytime soon,even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending.
Why does the U.S.need to learn a little frugality (節(jié)儉)?Because healthy savings rates are one of the surest indicators of a country's long-term financial health.High savings lead,over time,to increased investment,which in turn generates productivity gains,(62)Cand job growth.(63)B,savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest.
The U.S.government thus needs to act as well.By running (64)Bdeficits,it is dis-saving,even as households save more.Peter Orszag,Obama's Budget Director,(65)Ccalled the U.S.budget deficits unsustainable and he's right.To date,the U.S.has seemed unable to see the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in.That needs to change.

Pizza:Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food,but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples.The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers.If you're eating it on the go,you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio,literally wallet style."Our pizza is quick and simple,"she says.www.inaples.it

Hot dogs:When foreigners first visit America,one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food,the hot dog."It's like the flag of America-both inexpensive and democratic,"Diamanti says."You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall."212-484-1200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes:Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring.Bento boxes are filled with different dishes:often fish,meat,pickled vegetables,rice or tofu."It's really just a taste,"she says.While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays,they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jp
Jamaa el Fna Square,Marrakech,Morocco
Food stalls:When the sun begins to set,this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing,dance and eat.Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat,chicken and rice."There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,"Diamanti says.212-221-1 583; www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/

11.Animals Can Sense Natural Disasters
Among the dead in South Asia's tsunami(海嘯)were many tourists at Sri Lanka's national wildlife park at Yala.But very few of the park's animals-elephants,buffaloes,monkeys and wild cats-appear to have died.There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and run away to safety.
First,it's possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit.The underwater burst produced sound waves known as infrasound(次聲).Humans can't hear infrasound,but many animals including dogs,elephants,tigers and pigeons can.
A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration(震動).The great quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves.These vibrations move through the ground like waves moving on the surface of the ocean but faster.They travel at ten times the speed of sound.The Rayleigh waves would have reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit.Mammals,birds,insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves.So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.
But what about humans?While we can't hear infrasound,we can feel it,although we don't necessarily know we're feeling it.We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints(關節(jié)),which exist just for that purpose.Sadly,it seems we don't pay attention to the information when we get it.Maybe we screen it out because there's so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.

56.Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?D
A.Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
B.Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
C.Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
D.Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
57.Which of the statements about"Rayleigh waves"is true?A
A.Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
B.Rayleigh waves,just like infrasonic sound,can only be felt by animals.
