Norm was obviously very stricken by his wife’s passing but he was also very angry because he realized that other people were facing the same sorts of hardships．He wanted to do something but he didn’t want to give money to the charities(慈善机构)that support cancer research because he didn’t know how much of it would actually get to the researchers．What he did was start to hold parties．

Rohina Malik，a Chicago—based playwright，actress and solo performance artist，will take the stage in her one-woman play unveiledly(不带面纱地)on May 29 at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh．

Born and raised in London，England，but of South Asian heritage，Malik is a fearless woman of talent．Her play，Unveiled，exposes racism，hate，crime，love，Islam(伊斯兰教)，culture，language and life in one“amazing show，”said Jennifer Considine，professor of communication at UW Oshkosh．

Unveiled had its premiere in May 2009，and it received immediate attention．“I write plays because it’s my way of solving problems，”Malik said．“Art，in its many forms，has the power to solve world problems．That’s why，I believe we should do everything we can to nurture and protect it．”

Considine said she once saw Malik perform in Los Angeles and was deeply impressed．“You laugh and two minutes later you’re crying．She’s very talented，”Considine said．

She said Malik wants people to understand the experience of wearing the veil．“She wrote it following 9—11，as I remember her describing it—she was watching some of the media reports of women wearing the veil，and I think her experiences，and people she knows，were much more complex than what was being described in the media．”she said．

Considine said that the dislike of or prejudice against Islams，is very common in society，and it’s driven by a lack of understanding．“Her play will open students’eyes to seeing the wearing of the veil in a different way—and to maybe understanding that experience a bit differently，”Considine said．

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.

The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, from hima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himavā and Himavanta.

In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （负责人）of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.

K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.

Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives（源出）from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.

The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.

Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.

1. How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

2.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

A. Nepalese B. Abode of Snow

C. Alaya D. Himavā

3. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.

B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.

C. Annapurna means “one who offers food”.

D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.

4.The above mountains’ names come from sources other than _________.

A. color B. a Sanskrit word

C. a person’s name D. geographic name

When you want to find a job, you have to face the employer and you must know how to introduce yourself well. Then you will be lucky enough.

The first impressions can play a major role in how an employer like you as a candidate(求职者). What you say during the first step of the interview may make a big difference. In fact, some hiring managers may make a decision to refuse a candidate based on what they didn’t do when you met them. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.

When arriving at the interview site you can introduce yourself to the receptionist (接待员) by giving your name and telling the purpose of your visit. For example: “My name is Tim Jones and I have an interview scheduled with John Smith at 2 pm.” You will be guided into the interview room or the hiring manager will come out to meet you in the reception area. Again, take the time to introduce yourself so the interviewer knows who you are.

Offer to shake hands, even if the interviewer doesn’t offer his hand first. Tell the interviewer that it is a pleasure to meet him. Smile, and be sure to make eye contact.

Many hiring managers will start an interview with an open-ended question like “Tell me

about yourself.” Your response should focus on the key elements in your background. You should carefully analyze the job first to the interviewer, and you can point out the interests, skills, experiences, and personal qualities.

Your introduction should be brief enough to hold the interest of the interviewer so that you can move on to the next question. Your goal is to connect personally with the interviewer as well as to show that you’re qualified for the job. Of course, your comments should show your enthusiasm for the job and organization. However, don’t overdo it and don’t spend too much time talking about yourself.

1.What is the purpose of the author to write this passage ?

A. To tell candidates how to go to a reception desk.

B. To tell candidates how to introduce themselves when finding a job.

C. To give some suggestions on how to be a good interviewer.

There is a time when Karyn Bosnak couldn’t pay a ＄59 bill at the grocery store. She was officially broke. She didn’t have enough money to get on the subway, but she looked rich. She was a television producer, earned ＄900 a week, and had a closetful of designer labels like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. But she also had a ＄20,221.40 credit card bill and an empty bank account. Karyn decided that it was time for a change. She built a website and simply asked people to help her out by sending her a dollar or two.

On the site, Karyn honestly explained her situation. “If 20,000 people gave me just ＄1, I’d be home free.” Amazingly, it worked. Her website was visited by more than a million people. Although most donors just gave a few dollars, one generous donor sent ＄1,000. She was on TV and in newspapers and magazines. She was offered a book deal and a movie contract. And of course, she was able to pay off her credit card debt. She also sold her designer clothes on eBay. In her closet, where the Gucci purse once sat, Karyn keeps all the letters that people have sent her.

It’s hard to understand why so many people helped a total stranger pay off her huge credit card bill. Karyn explains, “I was just honest about what happened; I didn’t make up some sob story (悲伤的故事) about saving the world.” Her donors think it’s funny and original, and view it less as a charity than as an entertainment site. Imitators have appeared all over the Internet, some with extremely selfish requests for things like a BMW or a house.

Actually, Karyn was not the first person to put up a website asking strangers for money. The practice has a name: “cyber-begging.” Most sites receive little traffic and even less cash. Karyn also had thousands of enemies and critics. People sent her hate mail and scolded (斥责) her on websites. Karyn says she never let this anger bother her. “They are probably jealous (嫉妒的) they didn’t think of it.” She explains.

1.Why was Karyn in financial trouble?

A. She lost her job.

B. Her business failed.

C. She spent too much money.

D. Her bank account was stolen.

2. After building a website, Karyn .

A. became very famous.

B. decided to make a movie

C. decided herself to charity

D. started a fashion magazine

3.Why did so many people respond positively to Karyn’s website?

A. They were moved by Karyn’s story.

B. They thought it was very interesting.

C. They wanted to follow Karyn’s steps.

D. They really wanted to help Karyn out.

4.What can we learn about cyber-begging?

A. It encourages beggars to be honest.

B. Its main purpose is to help the poor.

C. It was first started by Karyn Bosnak.

D. Most of the time it draws little attention.
