16.This year's Miss Chinatown Fashion Show was more than just a showcase for clothing and shoe designers.It was also a fund-raiser (募捐活動(dòng)) and volunteer sign-up event for the grassroots organization Reading to Kids."We are looking for donations as well as volunteers to come and read,"said Reading to Kids volunteer Andrea Ramcke."It is a volunteer organization.There are only two paid workers."
According to Reading to Kids,the organization tries to encourage underserved children with a love of reading so as to enrich their lives and chances of success in the future."It is primarily for children who don't have a lot of reading in the home,whose parents are good at a second language or they are good at a second language,"Ramcke said."so we have a lot of immigrants from everywhere and lots of first generation kids who don't have a lot of books in the home."
At present,Reading to Kids gathers 901children and 388volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools.
At the reading clubs,pairs of volunteers read aloud to groups of children divided up by age groups,while the parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home.Ramcke also added that the kids are asked to join in by asking questions and reviewing the material along with doing a"craft (工藝) project in relation to the book".Every child also gets a book to take home and books are donated to school libraries through the program.
"The kids develop a love of reading,"Ramcke said."Studying doesn't become as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better.They learn how to think about their words.Their team communication skills and their grades go up."

Many of us feel somehow nervous whenever we are taking an important exam.Nervousness not only does a harm to our healthy but also disturbs our study.But it's necessary for us students to learn to relaxing.I think it's very important to have a right attitude of exams.Exams are only a means of checking that we have learned.Therefore,it is no need to worry too much about the results.Before an exam,making a scientific study plan and keep a peaceful mind can help to reduce the pressure from the exams.We can also relax themselves by doing sports and listening music.Besides,enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.

5.We're in the middle of winter.It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun,even when it does show its face,is setting at 4p.m.It's no wonder people in the street look sad.
But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情緒),they shouldn't be.Weather has little effect on mood.
When you tell people this,though,they don't believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.
So why don't we see this effect in the research?That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.In fact,Klimstra et al.found four different groups:
1.Unaffected:about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining  or sunny,hot or cold,their mood was mostly unaffected.
2.Summer lovers:here's the group you'd expect.For these people,their mood improved with less rain,more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers).
3.Summer haters:here's the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain,less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers).
4.Rain haters:this group's mood didn't change with the temperature,sunshine or the wind;they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers).
This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood:it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.

32.It's found in the study thatD.
A.weather has a strong effect on mood
B.cold wind and rain makes us look sad
C.the sun and warmth cheers us up
D.mood is little affected by weather
33.The underlined word"dejects"in the third paragraph probably meansB.
A.make sb.happy      B.make sb.sad
C.make sb.a(chǎn)ngry      D.make sb.silly
34.From the four different groups we can learnD.
A.a(chǎn)bout half the people belong to summer lovers
B.more than one third of the people are summer haters
C.few of young people and their mothers like the rain
D.more young people are unaffected than rain haters
35.What is the BEST title for the passage?A
A.Does the weather really affect your mood?
B.Why do people feel sad in cold winter?
C.How many different groups are there?
D.Do different people have different mood?
