13．Swimming along a river in western Florida，a newborn manatee（海牛） calls out for her mother．But the baby hears no answer．The mother has disappeared，possibly frightened away by a passing motorboat．Longing for her mom's gentle touch，the confused manatee begins rubbing against the closest big thing she can find-a boat．
From his home beside the river，Richard Dash sees the manatee rubbing against the boat．He keeps watch on the animal，hoping the mother will appear．But after two hours，she's still alone．Dash calls the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help．"A baby manatee needs its mother to show it where to find food，"says Andrew Garrett，a rescue coordinator（协调员） at the organization．"Without a mother's guidance，chances of survival are pretty much zero．"
A rescue team rushes to the scene to catch the newborn，and then takes off for the rehabilitation（康复） center at Lowry Park Zoo．After arriving at the center，the manatee is given a checkup by the workers．The doctor's exam shows that the manatee，now named Kee，is dangerously underweight．At less than 50pounds，she's one of the smallest orphans（失去生母的幼小动物） ever treated at the zoo．The baby is placed in a pool where the workers give her 24-hour care．Gradually Kee puts on pounds and gains strength．
A few weeks later，an adult manatee recovering at the center from an accident has a baby．This gives animal care manager Virginia Edmonds an idea．She decides to introduce Kee to the new mom，named Della．Edmonds hopes that Della will raise Kee alongside her own baby，Pal．So the workers place the three manatees in the same pool．Within hours Della is nursing Kee with her milk．Soon Kee is getting all of her food from Della．

20．A young boy recently received an unexpected message in the mail from his father Joseph，who died two years ago．
Rowan's dad was a hard-working man who wanted to give his son the best life he could．It was why Rowan's mother，Julie Van Stone，said Joseph joined the Navy（海军） and went to MIT to get two Master's degrees（硕士学位）．
While at school in Boston，he would often write to Rowan．Even when he left school and was driving back to Colorado，he would send postcards from each state he stopped in．Those postcards were sent in 2007．"I remember him saying he had sent 5or 6，but Rowan had only got 3or 4in the mail．But I never thought anything of it，"Van Stone said．
Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories（回忆） for Van Stone and her son，especially after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease．Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye．But，on Saturday，just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph's death，a postcard arrived in the mail．It arrived on March 11，2015．The message read："Hello from Pennsylvania．I love you，and I miss you so much．See you soon．Love，Daddy．"
Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened，and they may never know．But，they have their own ideas why．"I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn't get to say，"Van Stone said．Van Stone says Joseph's last words to her before he died were："Everything is a circle．We will see each other again．All that matters is love．"

C．6years．    D．8years．

10．In colleges around the country，most students are also workers．
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television．Instead of the students who wake up late，party all the time，and study only before exams，many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities，but real jobs，too．
This isn't a temporary phenomenon．The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s，and one-fifth of students work year round．About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job．The arrangement can help pay for tuition （学费） and living costs，obviously．And there's value in it beyond the direct cause：such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation．With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets，on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on．
But it's not all upside．Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses．The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage，they would earn just over $15，000 each year，certainly not enough to pay for tuition，room，and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid．That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom，many working students will still graduate with at least some debt．And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all，by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes．
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college．Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all．The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits．
28．According to the passage，the reality of college students is thatC．
A．they throw parties a lot                
B．they stay up late every night          
C．they work besides attending classes    
D．they pay no attention to exams
29．What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students？C
A．The need of developing social networks．
B．The lack of summer jobs for young adults．
C．The chance of finding a job after graduation．
D．The expenses of high tuition and living costs．
30．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．working students are more likely to finish college
B．students can cover their college expenses through working
C．students receive a huge reward for managing work and class
D．dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits
31．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．The Difficulties of Landing a Job
B．The Struggle of Work-School Balance           
C．The Reward of Working While Studying
D．The Images of Working College Students．
