16．This year's Miss Chinatown Fashion Show was more than just a showcase for clothing and shoe designers．It was also a fund-raiser （募捐活动） and volunteer sign-up event for the grassroots organization Reading to Kids．"We are looking for donations as well as volunteers to come and read，"said Reading to Kids volunteer Andrea Ramcke．"It is a volunteer organization．There are only two paid workers．"
According to Reading to Kids，the organization tries to encourage underserved children with a love of reading so as to enrich their lives and chances of success in the future．"It is primarily for children who don't have a lot of reading in the home，whose parents are good at a second language or they are good at a second language，"Ramcke said．"so we have a lot of immigrants from everywhere and lots of first generation kids who don't have a lot of books in the home．"
At present，Reading to Kids gathers 901children and 388volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools．
At the reading clubs，pairs of volunteers read aloud to groups of children divided up by age groups，while the parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home．Ramcke also added that the kids are asked to join in by asking questions and reviewing the material along with doing a"craft （工艺） project in relation to the book"．Every child also gets a book to take home and books are donated to school libraries through the program．
"The kids develop a love of reading，"Ramcke said．"Studying doesn't become as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better．They learn how to think about their words．Their team communication skills and their grades go up．"

17．China is a country on the move-especially around its Lunar New Year holiday．This year，the holiday crush（客流量）promises to be even heavier than before．
Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air，roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel．
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience．And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope．Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel，and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down．
Much of the criticism has，focused on the railway's-online purchasing system．Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票贩子）from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets．
While insist ing that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers，railway official s told reporters that the public need to be patient．Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems．While officials had little good news for rail passengers，they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行费）will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday．

32．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"discounting"in Paragraph 3？A
A．Discouraging．
B．Promising．
C．Pleasing．
D．Rewarding．
33．According to the text，getting ticketsDaround the official holiday．
A．is just a piece of cake               B．is more costly
C．is convenient for travelers           D．take s great effort
34．We can learn from the text thatAaround the New Year holiday．
A．the railway system will be facing more stress
B．there will be 3.62 billion people going home
C．people's complaint focus on the failure of online purchase
D．not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling
35．Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service？B
A．Satisfied         
B．Objective．
C．Doubtful．
D．Worried．
14．Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones．They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world．Some are shy"in real life"but are confident to communicate with others online； others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues，or problems at home．
    Sometimes the online world，just like the real world，can introduce problems，such as arguments．Going online is great fun，but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive （冒犯性的） or illegal aims．Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers．
    To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer．Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable，you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit．Remind your children that online friends are still strangers．Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert （警惕）．
    Computer studies are part of schoolwork now，so it's likely that your children may know more than you do．We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites，like chat rooms and message boards，which are especially strange．The language of chat is strange to many parents，too．Chatters love to use abbreviations （缩写） such as：atb-all the best，bbfn-bye bye for now，cul8er-see you later，gr8-great，Idk-I don't know，imbl-it must be love，kit-keep in touch，paw-parents are watching，lol-laugh out loud，xlnt-excellent!

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 （拖车） 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 （垫子）．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．

23．From the passage，we can learn that Eric had never seenC before．
A．a trailer  B．a truckC．a pillow  D．a house

C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor

11．Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless．（31）A If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision，you're probably right to second-guess yourself．
Because all your friends are going．
In only a few weeks'time，the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places．（32）C Friends will wonder what's wrong with you．
Because someone else expects it from you．
（33）F Or maybe，you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there．It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go．It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go．
Because you don't know what else to do．
It's been tough to find even a summer job．You don't have an alternative plan．Everyone else is doing it．（see above） （34）G That is the lamest（无说服力的） of reasons to spend 20，000or more in the next year．
（35）D
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college．Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education．Whatever the story is，there are always people who regret decisions they've made．So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college．

A．But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons．
B．Because you don't want to work．
C．Not to go will set yourself apart．
D．Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go．
E．Everyone seems more excited than you are．
F．Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college．
G．You think you might as well go to school．

The boy finished the ice cream，paid the cashier and left．When the （48）D came back to that table，she began to cry as she wiped（擦） it with the wash cloth．There，placed neatly beside the （49）B dish were fifteen cents．
You see，the little boy couldn't have the sundae because he wanted to have enough coins to leave her a （50）A．The waitress （51）C having treated the little boy like that．And from that，she learned that she should treat all her customers （52）D well．
In a nursing school，a professor gave us a pop test．The （53）A question was，"What is the first name of the woman who （54）C the school？"The students thought that this was some kind of （55）D．They had seen the cleaning person several （56）B．Before class ended，one student asked if the last question would （57）A toward their test grade．"（58）C，"said the professor．"In your careers you will （59）B many people．All are important．They are supposed to get your （60）D and care，even if all you do is smile and say‘hello'．"
