    Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
    My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
    As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
    As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
    小题1:What did the writer do last summer?
    A．She worked in the supermarket.
    B．She helped someone to learn to read.
    C．She helped some single mothers.
    D．She was trained by a literacy volunteer.
    小题2: Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
    A．Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.
    B．Because she didn't have a bus schedule.
    C．Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.
    D．Because she couldn't find the right bus.
    小题3:How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
    A．She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.
    B．She asked others to take her to the right place.
    C．She managed to find the goods by their looks.
    D．She remembered the names of the goods.
    小题4:Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?
    A．She could do many things she had not been able to before.
    B．She was able to read stories with the help of her son.
    C．She decided to continue her studies in school.
    D．She helped to build up my self-confidence.

    As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread came into my mind. I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients (原料) that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread.
    Real language learning takes place in human relationships. No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry. You don' t become bilingual (双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary. You don' t become a speaker of a language by memorizing grammatical rules. You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its basic means of communication.
    I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients. Flour is necessary, as are yeast (酵母), salt, water and other ingredients. Vocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned. Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored. But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread. At best, you only end up with a ball of dough (面团).
    In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough. And in language learning, that heat comes from the community. Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat. It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, ‘‘Have you already eaten?” When you try to say something quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread.
    Remember the old saying, “If you can’ t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and we stop the baking process. In other words, we can' t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen.
    However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen—in the heat—until the combined
    ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He is glad that he did not "get out of the kitchen” at the important moment when the oven seemed too hot.
    Now the baker enjoys good bread, seated at the table with family members and guests. However, he does not focus on "bread" but rather on enjoying the whole feast: fine salads, pastas, fresh vegetables, rich desserts and so on. And the language learner has arrived when he no longer needs to focus on language. Language merely becomes one element in the "feast" of membership in his chosen community.

    Being able to multitask---doing several things at the same time---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
    What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
    Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
    Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive.
    Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
    A．Want to buy.
    B．Take the place of.
    C．Use at the same time.
    D．Seek for information from.
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, the author points out that  ________.
    A．family members do not eat at the family table.
    B．family members do not greet each other.
    C．young people live happily in their families
    D．young people seldom talk with their family members
    小题3:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A．multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.
    B．Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
    C．Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
    D．Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.
    小题4:The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
    A．providing typical examples
    B．following the natural time order
    C．comparing opinions from different fields
    D．presenting a cause and analyzing its effects

    By choosing to let go of the past, we sweep out all the ashes that weigh us down and affect every aspect of our health, and our peace of mind.
    My friend Jean was divorced after a thirty-year marriage that produced three daughters, one son and eight grandchildren. Because she actually raised them single-handedly, Jean was hurt and angry that the children didn't take her part after the divorce. For months she refused to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was invited. When I reasoned that her children’s understanding of the relationship with and between the parents was probably altogether different from hers, she stuck to the belief that she was right.
    One day Jean called in tears. “Saturday is my granddaughter's birthday, and I want to be with her, but I can’t bring myself to face my former husband.”  “Jim isn't the problem,” I said gently, “it's false pride. Instead of holding on to the painful past, which is over and done, let the feelings go and get on with your life. You're depriving yourself of the joy of sharing in these important occasions, while Jim feels free to experience them. Tell me, would you rather be right, or be happy?”
    That must have done the trick because when Saturday arrived, Jean appeared at her daughter's home carrying her famous chocolate-chip cookies and a beautiful birthday
    cake.
    How great it feels to let go! And the more we practice the art of letting go of all negativity, the better able we become to devote our thoughts, our time, and our energy to living joyfully in the present, what ever age we happen to be.
    小题1: It can be inferred that ____.
    A．Jim did very little to bring up the children during their marriage.
    B．The writer thought Jean and Jim shouldn't have divorced.
    C．The children were on their father's side and didn't invite Jean to any family celebration.
    D．Jean had been too tough on Jim before they divorced.
    小题2:The underlined phrase “depriving yourself of” is closest in meaning to ____ .
    A．persuading yourself to getB．taking away from yourself
    C．taking false pride of yourself D．talking yourself into showing
    小题3:In the writer's opinion, ____.
    A．Jean and Jim should be remarried
    B．a broken family could live together in peace
    C．to be happy is more meaningful than to be right
    D．everyone should look into the future
