10.Persevance,the quality of never giving up when facing great challenges,lies behind every great achievement in anyone's life.With perseverance a lame boy can learn to swim; with persistence a conquered country will win freedom.
Only with strong determination can people fight their way to final victories.Many a famous man has the same experience.They have obtained their status because they have had the will to overcome numerous difficulties.Outstanding athletes go all out to train themselves.Their  w illpower  is beyond imagination.We all have read of great musicians,writers and inventors  have created or discovered breakthroughs recorded in history.Always they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance.As to students,quite a big number of them  have been successful through perseverance.However,acertain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.
The  same  is true   of  many rich businessmen.What we usually see are their achievements,but once we go behind the seenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady  efforts Of all countless  exarmples the story of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most
outstanding.The 65-year-old man from Kentucky   had a dream,to start a chain of fried chicken  restaurants all over the world.To rcalize his dream,he knew that he needed a restaurant   to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the  secret recipe (配方)he had.Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008doors before  he finally  found a proper person to co-operate with.It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.
We can conclude that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly  while of perseverance  can only result in frustration and failure.
28.Which of the following is true of perseverance?B
A.Lame boys need it more.
B It means never giving up.
C.Most students lack it.
D.It's more important than effort
29.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?D
A.Saunders succeeded all by himself.
B.Saunders wouldn't knock on 1008doors.
C.Saunders owed his success to his secret recipe.
D.Saunders had failed many times before he succeeded.
30.Which is the key to success according to the passage?C
A.Great imagination.
B.Numerous difficulties.
C.Continual steady efforts.
D.Previous hard work.

1.I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
  There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription (处方).I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
  When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting,"When it comes to cashiers,make mine human,please!"
  After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying.Even more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion (同情)for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.
  What technological device would do any of this?I don't want to go back to the Stone Age,but I'm also worried about a world run by machines.Sometimes when you're chatting with someone,you discover things you need to know.Maybe a receptionist needs prayers said for a sick child.Maybe a salesperson can offer a bit of encouragement to a customer who is feeling tired.
  Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so important to everyday life.
  Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.It is being human that encourages us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.

6.The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living.People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor.Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises,the poverty line does,too.Therefore,even with today's relatively high standard of living,about 10percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line.However,if these people had stable jobs,they could have an acceptable standard of living.Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing,more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work.Over 40percent of the poor people are children.By law,children less than 16years old cannot work in many industries.And over 10percent of the poor people are old.Many companies do not hire people over 65years old,the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons:they are sick,they do not have any motivation (动力),they have family problems,or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one.Many poor adults never went to high school.Therefore,when they look for jobs,they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time,the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First,if the national economy grows,businesses and industries hire more workers.Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment.Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second,if society invests in the poor,the poor will become more productive.If the government spends money on social programs,education,and training for poor people,the poor will have the skills to offer.Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally,if the government distributes society's income differently,it raises some poor people above the poverty line.The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor.These payments to the poor are called welfare.In 2010over 18million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem.However,at the present time,many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81.What does the poverty line in a country change with?The general standard of living.
82.Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment becausethey are too young or too old(towork).
83.In order for the poor to have the skills to offer,the government must invest insocial programs,education,and training for poor people.
84.How do those below the poverty line enjoy the existing welfare from the government?
7.The meaning of the word"Volunteer"may be a little different in different countries,but it usually means"one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer,such as taking care of sickpeople,working in homes for homeless children,and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries.They areoften people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people.Tracy,a good friend of mine,however,recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta.The following is her story.
"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school,we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world.I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school,I too wanted to try her kind of work.So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash clothes and sheets,and pass out lunch.I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them.To be honest,I don't think I was helping very much.It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help,but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."
