    Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
    Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “ Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
    “Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”
    In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.
    “The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “It‘s been good to be on this trip. But what’s also important is what we do when it’s finished. That’s what counts.” “ I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12 “It’s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”
    The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.

    In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my  16  , it was the same score.
    Later that evening, I   17  told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agreed that we knew our son much better than an IQ test. We decided that Michael’s score must have been a   18  and we should treat him   19  as usual.

    The oil resources which are left will not last very long. This means that all vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run. So it will be necessary to develop a new system of transport which uses a fuel more than oil. Electric vehicles are one possibility. In Britain, most families have at least one car and this car is used every day. It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work or for shopping. The number of cars on the road which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly. The family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy, especially if it is compared with buses or trains. Much petrol is used by a car which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour. Clearly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible.
    About 25% of Britain’s total consumption of energy is domestic—it is used only in the home. Just over 20% is used for transport. Most of the energy is used in industry. It is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs. It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same amount of workers.
    Obviously, conservation is not going to be the answer to the energy crisis（危机）. The most it can do is to give more time for a better solution to be found. The more time which is available for new sources of energy to be developed, the better it is because there is still a lot of work to be done in order to find suitable, safe methods of producing energy.
    小题1:In Britain, what reason could help to explain why oil is used up very quickly?
    A．People use cars every day.
    B．Most families have at least one car.
    C．Many cars on the road are almost empty.
    D．Electric vehicles are used.
    小题2:Which of the following is true?
    A．Compared with buses and trains, the family car is useful and can save energy.
    B．A car driving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour uses half as much petrol as a car traveling at 160 kilometers per hour.
    C．It is possible for people to develop vehicles.
    D．Limitation of the number of cars on the road and their speed will help the oil last longer.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “domestic” mean in Paragraph Two?
    A．For household use.B．On the road.
    C．Slow driving.D．Fast driving.
    小题4:What is a better way to solve the problem of the energy crisis?
    A．Governments should cut down the number of family cars on the road.
    B．The speed of vehicles must be limited.
    C．New sources of energy should be found and developed.
    D．Factories should cut down on production.

    Some of Man's closest relatives in the animal kingdom are under serious threat because of human activity, according to a recently published report.
    Almost one in three of all apes and monkeys are now considered to be in danger of dying out and disappearing from our planet, if action is not taken soon.
    The report, which was produced for the World Conservation Union (WCU), shows that 114 of the world's 394 kinds could be lost forever, and the main reason they are threatened is the continuing loss of forests where most of these animals live. In addition, illegal wildlife trade, climate change and commercial（商业的）hunting for meat are also endangering them.
    What's more, the problem is getting worse. The number of species on the organization’s Red List has increased by 3 to 25 since 2005.
    Russell Mittermeier, the main researcher of the WCU report, said, "You could fit(安置) all the surviving members of these 25 species in a single football stadium. So the problem is obviously urgent."
    The scientists, who drew up the Red List, believe that the situation is now so bad that if action is not taken immediately, it will result in primate(灵长目动物) species dying out - something which has not happened in over a century.
    The loss of habitat caused by the clearing of forests for wood, farmland and fuel continues to be the main reason for the decreasing number of primates, according to the report, and the problem was most severe in Asia.
    The loss of forest trees is also responsible for 20 percent of all greenhouse gases - more than all the cars, trucks, trains and airplanes in the world combined.
    小题1:What is the main subject of the report discussed in the text?
    A．Climate change.B．Loss of animal habitat.
    C．Animal protection.D．Endangered animals
    小题2:How many animals were on the Red List in 2005?
    A．22 B．19C．25. D．28.
    小题3:The spokesman refers to 'a football stadium' in paragraph 5 to stress that ______.
    A．the animals enjoy playing sports
    B．these animals should be placed there for protection
    C．there are not many of these animals left
    D．the report was announced there
    小题4:What is the main cause of the greenhouse gas problem according to the text?
    A．Airplanes.B．Loss of trees.
    C．Factory pollution.D．Road vehicles.

    Just listen
    I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  36  , and especially if it’s given from the 37 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but 38 them. Just take them  39 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than  40 it.
    One of my patients told me that when she 41  to tell her story, people often  42  to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her. Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves.   43  she stopped talking to most people. It was just too 44 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 45  of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
    I have ever learned to 46  to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾)  47 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  48 , to take them out of their  49 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 50  them.
    This 51  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been  52  since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too  53 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 54  to connect than the most well-intentioned(善意的) 55 .

    Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills （读写能力）With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence （自信心） , according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
    The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
    Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
    The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the text?
    A．Children’s reading difficulties.B．Advantages of raising dogs.
    C．Service in a public library.D．A special reading program.
    小题2:Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _______.
    A．dogs are young children’s best friends
    B．children can play with dogs while reading
    C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
    D．children and dogs understand each other
    小题3:By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library_______.
    A．uses dogs to attract children
    B．accepts the idea put forward by ITA
    C．has opened a children's department
    D．has decided to train some dogs
    小题4:A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _______.
    A．a book used in Saturday classesB．a book written by the children
    C．a prize for the childrenD．a gift from parent

    “Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft (the crime of stealing): a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
    The program allows users to display alerts (warning) on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
    Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
    The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
    In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”
    The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely (远程地) switch to an alternative (可替换的) password immediately if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access (进入, 使用) details.
    If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
    Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
    Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
    小题1:The underlined expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” in Paragraph 2 can be understood as “_______”.        
    A．to give the thief an alert mind
    B．to express the owners’ anger to the thief
    C．to remind the thief of his conscience (良心)
    D．to make the thief give up his mind
    小题2:Different from other security software, Retriever can _______.
    A．record the stealing process
    B．help recognize the lost laptop
    C．lock down the computer remotely
    D．send a spoken message
    小题3:One function of the program is that it allows the owner to _______ at a distance.                         
    A．change some access details for switching on the laptop
    B．turn on the laptop by using the original password
    C．operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
    D．erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
    小题4:Which of the following can best sum up the main idea of the passage?
    A．With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
    B．A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
    C．Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
    D．A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
    小题5:What does the word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
    A．the alert messageB．the computer
    C．the programD．the laptop
