8."Can I hug you?"community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village."Of course,"I say as I put my arms around her.It's an unbelievable moment.Just at the height of the outbreak more than a year ago,there was an"avoid body contact"rule here.It's now been removed.
One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch anyone in the worst-affected countries.When Ebola(埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears describing losing their families,I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.
The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on 7 November.I returned for the celebrations.But despite reaching this long-awaited milestone,all is not well.
Ibrahim Koroma,21,clings to his survivor's certificate outside the home.All 17 of his family are now dead.The certificate is one of his most prized possessions."He does not pose any risk to the community"it reads.
Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year.He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that.He does some part-time work,relying heavily on help from neighbours.His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps.He says he often lies awake thinking about them,feeling very bad.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record.In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors.It was thought Ebola could live for only three months.But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months.Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.

19.Uncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptable
For the first time,airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior.Their names will remain on the blacklist for one or two years,according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday.The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.
Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for travelling by air and so place their own interests before everything else,including safety,has long been overdue (迟到的,延迟的).
There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.
Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved.However,some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket,and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(吩咐).
They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (互相给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.
Observing  rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety.No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason.Of course,airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers.Yet,even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided,there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.
The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (顺从集体).

21.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.
B.At no time should flights be delayed,whatever the reasons.
C.Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers'service at any moment.
D.If an airline passenger is blacklisted,he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.
22.The underlined word"observing"in paragraph 6is closest in meaning toD.
A.abolishing        B.violating        
C.setting           D.obeying
23.According Paragraph 4,the author's attitude towards some passengers isC.
A.Tolerate          B.Curious        
C.Critical          D.Neutral
24.The text is most probably taken fromB.
A.a research paper   
B.a newspaper report   
C.an advertisement   
D.a flight guide.

20.Are you a team player?
We hear a lot about team building these days.Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other.And they organize awaydays(息工日)-a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.
Here in the UK,employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking'dead people'.For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI.
Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them.Why is that a good team-building exercise?Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says:"The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing,really.It's not competitive-it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"
Actually,a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training.Basically,you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language.
Kelly Eide,co-founder of True Leadership,says:"The horses don't care if your hair is purple,if you're a man or a woman,if you're old or young…It transcends all of those cultural boundaries-age,gender,religion,tradition etc.-so that's a perfect fit.And in an organization where you really need groups of people to  gel,who come from backgrounds which have no common norms,you can teach that most efficiently with a horse."
And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader.So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot,you'll know where he might have learnt it from.
24.What are awaydays for?B
A.To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other.
B.To building team spirit among people who work for the same company.
C.To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement.
D.To teach people how to make term more united.
25.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The one in which you learn to'kill'Zombies is more physically demanding.
B.Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent.
C.Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them.
D.A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.
26.How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele?A
A.One hour             
B.Two-hour      
C.15minutes      
D.half hour
27.We can infer that the word"it"(Line 4,Para5)refers toC.
