1.At the age of sixteen,I joined a volunteer group with my dad.I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia.On the night we arrived,we discovered that"our family"was living in a trailer (拖車) that was in poor condition.Some people had been working on it for two weeks,but every time they finished one problem,another appeared.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary under these circumstances.The family was overjoyed with their house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms,a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week,while we ate lunch together,I asked the family's three boys,Josh,Eric and Ryan,"What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys that children usually ask for,we were astonished when Josh responded,"I just want a bed."
The boys had never slept in a bed!They were used to plastic mats (墊子).That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift.On Thursday night,a few adults in our group drove to the newest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming,we told the family about the surprise.We could hardly contain ourselves.It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon,as we fitted the parts of the beds together,Eric ran into the house to watch us and observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.As my father put a pillowcase (枕套) onto one of the pillows,Eric asked,"What is that?"
"A pillow,"he replied.
"What do you do with it?"Eric continued to ask.
"When you go to sleep,you put your head on it,"I answered softly.Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow.
"Oh…that's soft,"he said,hugging it tightly.
Now,when my sister and I start to ask for something that seems urgent,my dad gently asks,"Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.

21.The writer's first volunteer project wasB.
A.working on a poor trailer
B.helping a poor family
C.donating beds and bedding
D.dealing with a housing problem
22.On hearing Josh's answer,the writer was shocked becauseD.
A.the family lived in a trailer
B.he expected to get some toys
C.he didn't know what a bed was
D.the boys had no bed to sleep in
23.From the passage,we can learn that Eric had never seenC before.
A.a(chǎn) trailer  B.a(chǎn) truckC.a(chǎn) pillow  D.a(chǎn) house
24.By saying"Do you have a pillow?",the writer's father means thatA.
A.what they want to get may be unnecessary
B.they should not waste money on small things
C.they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D.what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow.

9.Air travel makes some people very nervous.But there are classes people can take to help themselves defeat the fear of flying.And now similar training can be provided for service dogs that suffer the same problem.
   Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for.You will see them working on buses,trains and other public transport.But the busy environment found at an airport can disturb even the best-trained working dogs.
   People with disabilities depend on their dogs.They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas.They also want the dogs to remain calm on duty on the airplane,even when the flying is not smooth.This takes special training.The Air Hollywood K9 flight School is one place where such help can be found.
   The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights,sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight.It is called a flight simulator (模擬器).The simulator was initially built for filming airplane scenes in movies.
Sandy Alexander lives in Newport Beach,California.He has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog,Doc,to be always at his side.Mr Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips.
According to her working experience,Mary Sgall says,successful training is based on a simple rule:preparation.Dogs need to be exposed to the environment over and over again,to loud noises,to sounds and busy crowds so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis,they're able to act in a way that they're used to acting,"she explained.
Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flights.Their dogs also seem ready for takeoff.
8.When service dogs are at a busy airport,they will usually becomeA.
A.disturbed       B.delighted         C.discouraged       D.pleased
9.According to the passage,who depend on the service dogs?
C
A.Old persons     B.Little babies      C.Disabled people    D.Weak patients.
10.At first,the flight simulator was designed toB.
A.help the service dog                B.make a film  
C.train the plane pilot                D.guide the plane
11.We can infer that Mary Segall is aD.
A.dog owner       B.dog lover       C.dog doctor         D.dog trainer.

16.To live a long life,we've been told to eat well,exercise and manage stress.Now an eight-decade study indicates that is only part of the story.Health scientists Friedman explains some secrets to longevity(長壽) in the Longevity Project.
Friedman drew upon the work of Stanford University psychologist Lewis Terman,who began the study in 1921.Terman selected about 1,500 of the brightest boys and girls that he could find and tracked them throughout their lives.He died in 1956,but the project was carried on by others.Friedman took over the work in 1990 and used the data gathered for decades to better understand health and longevity.
"Genetic factors offer part of the explanation for why about one third of the people are more exposed to diseases and live shorter lives,"says Friedman."But there's much more to that."
Take character for example.Cheerful and optimistic children are actually less likely to live long lives."The most cheerful and optimistic kids grew up to take more risks,"explains Friedman."They tended to be smokers or heavier drinkers,and their hobbies were riskier."
Often,with responsibility come stress.But some stress is not necessarily a bad thing,says Friedman.Actually,when the participants found meaning in their stressful jobs,they were committed to them and stress didn't hurt them.They thrived(茁壯成長) in spite of---or perhaps with the aid of---it.
Friedman also found that the conventional wisdom about fitness isn't quite right.If we try too hard to push ourselves into exercise,it can fail.Physical activity is important,they found,but it's more about doing what you love than sticking filmly to a certain fitness program.
And for adults who have fallen into long-sitting lifestyles,it's not too late."if you can pick up an activity that you like---you don't have to go to the gym every morning---that really has a big impact on the rest of your life,"says Friedman.
33.Which of the following is NOT true about the Longevity Project?A
A.It has lasted for eight decades.
B.It was started by Terman in 1921.
C.It paused for a while after Terman's death.
D.About 1,500 boys and girls took part in the study.
34.If you want to join a fitness program,you'd betterD
A.stick firmly to it
B.try to exercise as hard as you can
C.a(chǎn)sk other people to do it with you
D.choose whatever you really enjoy
35.Accoding to Friedman,D.
A.cheerful and optimistic children tend to live longer
B.taking up stressful jobs is always bad for people's longevity
C.it's impossible for adults with long-sitting lifestyles to live longer
D.genetic factors are not the only reason for people's getting diseases.

13.For most people,shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall.Soon,that will change.Electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices.There will,however,be a cost:protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder.Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world.But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis or a new era of corporate self-regulation.
Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty.But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen.Even in a country where a clear rght to compensation exists,the on-line customer in Tokyo,say,can hardly go to New York to get a refund (退款) for a clothes purchase.
One answer is for government to cooperate more:to recognize each other's rules.But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules.And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful (稀有的) for sober countries to accept.There is,however,another choice.Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves.They do,after all,have a self-interest in doing so.
In electronic commerce,a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset.Governments,too,may compete to be trusted.For instance,customers ordering medicines on-line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA's  rules are too strict,and buy from Switzerland instea.
Customers will still need to use their judgment,but precisely because the technology is new,electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort.And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down.In this way,at least,the advent(出現(xiàn)) of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws,not more.
32.In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country,what could he do?D
A.Refuse to pay for the purchase.
B.Go to the seller and ask for a refund.
C.Appeal to consumer protection law.
D.Complain about it on the Internet.
33.In the author's view,businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic worldC.
A.international cooperation would be much more frequent
B.consumers could easily seek government protection
C.a(chǎn) good reputation is a great advantage in competition
D.it would be easy for consumers to complain
34.We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States isB.
A.very quick   
 B.very cautious     
C.very slow    
D.rather careless
35.According to the author,what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?A
A.Self-regulation by the business.
B.Strict Consumer protection laws.
C.Close international cooperation.
D.Government protection.
