    Now let’s talk about doing well by doing good—many people who have ever been volunteers for the community find their place in relative jobs or even make their way to be corporate(团体的)leaders.
    Consider the case of Kimberly Mulcahy. Throughout her career, Mulcahy has actively volunteered in her community, profession and industry. Though she put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 company, she also found time to professional and community organizations.
    Then last year, the unexpected thing happened. The company where she’d worked for more than 20 years was bought out and she was laid off.
    On hearing the news, those who she served were quick not only to offer her support—but actual jobs! In the end, Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency—she used to work as a director of her industry association. And she brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.
    Volunteering was a godsend(天赐之物)to Todd, who has been a mid-level manager at the same company for many years. After he was out of work, he felt old and disappointed. But Todd knew he needed a change. Todd became involved in community service. He joined his town’s volunteer fire department and was soon appointed to the finance committee.
    Sometimes volunteering helps you bring passion to your work, other times it can turn your life’s passion into your work. Cape Cod Baseball League President Judy Scarafile is a registered pharmacist(药剂师)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣传员), secretary and deputy commissioner woman to hold the top post.
    Whether you are to enter the workforce, build your resume, or follow your passion, volunteering is good for the soul and the career.
    小题1: By saying “doing well by doing good” in Paragraph 1, the author wants to_____.
    A．encourage us just to do it, and it will be better
    B．encourage us to try as hard as possible
    C．tell us not to give up
    D．tell us that people who have volunteered their way into
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT true about Mulcahy according to the passage?
    A．Mulcahy put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 company.
    B．Mulcahy becomes a famous football player.
    C．Mulcahy brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.
    D．Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency.
    小题3:Which of the following words can best describe Todd?

Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86. 
    A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.

    American agricultural scientist Norman Borlaug has received the Congressional Gold Medal.
    Norman Borlaug is often called "the man who saved a billion lives" and "the father of the Green Revolution."
    His work helped fight starvation in India and Pakistan in the nineteen sixties. He won the nineteen seventy Nobel Peace Prize.
    He, ninety-three years old ,still works as an adviser at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico.
    In accepting the medal, he urged Congress and the administration to increase development assistance for agriculture. He said the world needs better and more technology to deal with hunger. In his words: "Hunger and poverty and misery are very fertile soils into which to plant all kinds of 'isms,' including terrorism."  
    In the 1940s, Norman Borlaug and a team developed highly productive and disease-resistant wheat for farmers in Mexico. About twenty years later, millions of people in India and Pakistan were in danger from grain shortages.
    The improved wheat from Mexico also grew well in South Asia, combined with changes in growing methods. Norman Borlaug persuaded farmers to use more fertilizers and pesticide chemicals and to water their crops with irrigation systems. Also many a crop can be planted in the same field. The results were big production gains that many believe saved as many as a billion lives.
    President Bush noted that hunger still affects much of the developing world. He said the most fitting honor for Norman Borlaug is to lead a second Green Revolution that feeds the world. Yet his support for new agricultural technologies has been criticized at times over the years.
    Some researchers worry about the effects of industrial methods of modern farming.
    Population researcher Paul Ehrlich, for example, wrote a nineteen sixty-eight book called
    "The Population Bomb." He predicted that population growth would cause widespread harm to the planet.
    But now, some people are saying there should be greater attention and respect for Norman Borlaug. A major theme of his work is that people can deal with difficulties and that technology can improve their lives.
    小题1:Norman Borlaug is called “the Father of the Green Revolution” mainly lies in that_______.
    A．he developed highly productive wheat to help fight against hunger
    B．he made a great contribution to fighting against terrorism and hunger
    C．he developed a kind of wheat that is environmentally friendly
    D．he sticks to the belief that technology can improve our lives.
    小题2:The best title for the passage would be________.
    A．Norman Borlaug, the Father of the Green Revolution
    B．Golden Moments----a Long-life Struggle
    C．Hunger------a Serious Problem That Affects the Developing World.
    D．Norman Borlaug, the Savior of the Developing Country.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?
    A．Despite his age, Norman Borlaug still works for the improvement in agriculture
    B．Norman Borlaug thinks that hunger and poverty tend to breed crimes and evil
    C．Without Norman Borlaug’s work, hunger problem wouldn’t completely be settled now
    D．Paul Ehrlich thinks that population growth would cause widespread harm to the planet.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
    A．Congress and the administration are to blame for hunger and poverty
    B．not all people are in favor of his new agricultural technologies
    C．people can defeat terrorists by improving modern farming
    D．the Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian honor given by Congress.

    WASHINGTON?Laura Straub is a very worried woman.  Her job is to find families for French teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.
    It’s not easy, even desperate.
    “We have many children left to place: 40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a Paris based foreign exchange programme called LEC.
    When exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were willing to help others. For one thing, more mothers stayed home.
    But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30,000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to have some courses for one year in the United States. as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes.
    School systems in many parts of the US,unhappy about accepting non?taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic (异国情调的).
    In searching for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired.
    “We are open to many different types of families.” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers
    on one-year exchange programmes worldwide.
    For elderly people,exchange students “keep up young——they really do,” said Jean Foster,who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Porst from Denmark.
    5.Foreign teenagers come to American families wilh the purpose of .
    A.finding thier parents in America         B.finding good jobs in America
    C.learning the culture of America          D.enjoying the life of America
    6.In the past, Straub’s job was easy, because American families .
    A.needed more money to live              B.had fewer children to support
    C.had spare rooms to rent                 D.were not as busy as now
    7.To deal with the problem in recent years, Straub and her workmates have to .
    A.ask different kinds of families for help    B.limit the number of the exchange students
    C.borrow much money to pay for the costs  D.force some families to accept students
    8.From the last paragraph we can conclude that __________.
    A.exchange students are welcome in America
    B.exchange students must pay much money to the host families
    C.American students don’t want to join the exchange programmes
    D.old Americans can benefit from hosting exchange students
