【题目】About us

Started by private citizens who believe that everyone should have the right to take showers, Lava Mae seeks to reach those who lack these necessities.

We turn retired public transportation buses into bathrooms because we believe that for the thousands of men, women and children living on our streets, a shower can be the first step towards change.

Our partners

Each day we partner different local non-profit organizations providing services to the homeless.

The local government tries their best to deliver our services. For example, get buses and seek access to water.

The private sector has provided us with goods and services, in addition to other support and funding that make our service possible.

Our mission

To deliver dignity(尊严)and unlock opportunity for the homeless—one mobile shower at a time. Fundamental to this mission are three beliefs: First, everyone has the right to be clean. Second, those experiencing homelessness can’t access jobs and housing or maintain health and happiness if they can’t get clean. Third, with hygiene(卫生)comes dignity; with dignity, opportunity.

Our schedule

Wednesdays: 9:30am~12pm;YWAM in the Tenderloin; 344 Ellis St. between Taylor and Jones.

Thursdays: 9:30 am~3:30pm; API Wellness in the Tenderloin;730 Polk St. near Ellis St.

Fridays: 9:30 am~2:30 pm; YWAM in the Tenderloin; 344 Ellis St. between Taylor and Jones.

练习册系列答案

【2】Are you a secretary, clerk, or a receptionist? If you are, you should be worried by the changes that are going to take place. Because of information technology, your job may become unnecessary in the near future. You will certainly have to know more about using the computer. 【3】Instead of doing just one of the three jobs mentioned above, it’s likely that a person will have to do all three. Because of this, there’s likely to be unemployment. While bosses will benefit because they can employ less people, thousands of office workers will find themselves out of work. 【4】They will be forced to learn new skills which require the use of the computer to survive.

There may be some good points to the changes for workers as well as employers however. Government should benefit from IT and have more money to spend. Because of the increase in revenue(收入) caused by higher productivity, the government could afford to spend more on things such as social work, charities and culture.【5】

A. However, not all the news is good.

B. Salaries are also expected to increase.

C. Even workers who can keep their jobs may have to suffer.

D. Their bosses will not want to employ them in a few years time.

E. Travel companies need to adopt IT to be competitive and survive.

F. Therefore, some who lose their office jobs may be able to work in these new areas.

G. And you will be expected to get a lot more information by using the computer than you did in the past

【题目】阅读理解。

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist “for the art of memory” with which he has “uncovered the lifeworld of the occupation”．

Although the 69yearold writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.

So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?

Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a JewishItalian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war, but “not the taint(污点) of the war”．

Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it.According to New Yorkbased newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, polic files, and newspaper cuttings.

His most admired novel，Missing Person, is a good example.It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

In a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now.Whether cable or mobile broadband, today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days.Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.

Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines.Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables(光缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with.There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If span>the rapid progress in cellphone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

A．The broadband connection's getting faster.

B．The rapid progress in cellphone technology.

C．More and more Internet connections.

D．More and more Internet users.

【4】The best title for this passage may be “________”．
