“Let’s Talk”:The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people:street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment; she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city. 
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.  (303 words)
小题1: In what way was Podell different from other people in the park? (No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
小题2: What do people in need expect Podell to do? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________
小题3:According to Podell, what should people do when making decisions? (No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
小题4:How would Podell promote her project in New York?  (No more than 15 words)
________________________________________________________________________
小题5:Would you like to be a volunteer in the Free Advice Project ? Why?
________________________________________________________________________

小题1:She was giving free advice.
小题2:They expect her to listen and provide real answers.
小题3:They should talk things out.
小题4:She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers.
小题5:Yes. I can help people in need.  

试题分析: "我们谈谈"是一项免费的咨询项目,由32岁的Lisa Podell在今年 5 月创办的。通过倾听还提供真正的解决办法。作为一个全职老师和现在青少年的顾问,Lisa Podell认为谈论是决策过程中有很重要的作用。Lisa Podell说她想在整个纽约市的公共空间开展由志愿者参与的这项活动。简答题主要考查学生的定位能力,部分考查对题干意思的理解和对句子的加工表达能力。
小题1:根据第一段最后But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.再通过第三段开头Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May可知a woman就是Podell,故答案为:She was giving free advice.
小题2:根据people in need 和expect定位到and they expect her not only to listen, but also to provide real answers. 由于字数限制,这里需要将答案改为简单句:They expect her to listen and provide real answer.
小题3:根据making decision定位到Podell believes that talking things out is important in the decision-making process. 得出答案为:They should talk things out.
小题4:根据New York定位到尾段Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.由于字数限制可将从句合并到简单句中变成: She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers. 
小题5:Yes. I can help people in need.

Anna Craig, 11, has a paper doll covered with stickers(贴纸). On each sticker is written a word, such as cheerful, smart or kind. “We choose stickers that can best describe ourselves and put them on our dolls,” explains Anna, who took part in the activity with a group of girls in the fourth grade last year.
The activity is part of a program called “Beautiful Me.” The program’s goals are to help girls achieve a normal and healthy level of self-respect and develop basic skills of solving problems and handling relationships with others. So far, about 6,000 girls in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, have joined in it.
The organizers of “Beautiful Me” train teachers to present the program material to small groups of girls. They guide groups to carry out different activities. The activities include hands-on art activities, role-playing games and discussions on topics like making lasting friendships. Groups will show their performance, when they are ready.
The organizers of “Beautiful Me” say the program helps girls understand their feelings, solve problems and get along well with others. Anna Craig says that she learns so many things from the program. But most importantly, she starts to appreciate the special qualities of other people. She also thinks that it’s important to feel good about herself. When people feel good about themselves, it is easy to make other people around them feel good too!

Stop eating yourself stupid we all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the growing list. A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.
According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them.小题1: Actually a high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence--but so can a low-calorie diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.
Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.
Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight. __小题2:__ If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400 calories; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.
__小题3:__Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. __小题4:__
Exercise regularly with a positive attitude. Aim for at least three 30-minute training sessions a week(but more is better). I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. _小题5:_  Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this kind of music can help make them smarter as well.
A.You may be fond of music, too.
B.Your health depends on your exercise plan.
C.Aim to get this number of calories each day.
D.Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so.
E.You may be wondering what this has to do with us.
