1.Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago.He has good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.
One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10am and it was already 8:30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed ot be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,"Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It's the least I could do.Please.I insist."Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed look on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,"Do you really need to be interviewed?"Jimmy's heart sank."With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?"he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
"Sorry I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office.I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations!"Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

3.Father's Garden
My father was always a good(酷爱的) gardener.One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled(翻耕的) soil,my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child,I loved following Dad around in the garden.I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines.Dad loved growing all sorts of things:yellow and green onions,watermelons almost as big as me,rows of yellow corn,and our favorite---red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager,I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad.Instead of magical land of possibility,it had turned into some kind of prison.As Dad grew older,his love for gardening never disappeared.After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own,Dad turned to gardening like never before.Even when he was diagnosed with cancer,he still took care of his garden.
But then,the cancer,bit by bit,invaded his body.I had to do the things he used to do.What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year.The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone.Too tired to weed them,he simply let them be.He only planted tomatoes.
For the first few years after he died,I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket.Three years ago,I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes.That morning,after breaking up a fair amount of soil,something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile.It was my eight-year-old son Nathan,happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.

7.Fans of reptiles like snakes will want to pay more attention to a special vehicle that has recently hit the streets:the Super Green Turtle Machine.
Just like Batman has his Batmobile,Jesse Rothacker and Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary (FFRS) can now be found touring Lancaster County in the Super Green Turtle Machine,a van with an important mission.Rothacker had co-written a song called"Super Green Turtle Machine"with musician Steven Courtney.The song became the inspiration for the van.
FFRS is celebrating its 12th year rescuing and advocating for reptiles and creatures of all shapes and sizes.The Super Green Turtle Machine will be rolling out to upcoming Forgotten Friend programs and frequent reptile rescue calls."We have more than 60educational events already scheduled for 2016,"Rothacker mentioned.The programs will educate audiences of all ages about reptiles and other amazing animals that are often given a bad reputation.
"The idea behind the Turtle Machine is to take a marginalized animal group like reptiles and give them some positive publicity on social media,"Rothacker explained.When reptile fans see the van parked with its colorful turtle mascot (吉祥物) giving a thumb-up,they are invited to take a photo with the vehicle with their own thumbs up sign."Lots of people will have an opportunity to tell their friends on Facebook and Twitter that they give reptiles a thumb-up,"Rothacher said."Then they can post their pictures to social media with the tag Give Reptiles A Chance."To sweeten the deal,FFRS will choose several winners from those who post photos for special prizes such as T-shirts,books,and other reptile-related items.
In addition to the positive publicity,the Super Green Turtle Machine will serve a more practical purpose,as well.Rothacker and his team hope to make a few more changes to the van in the future."The main work is done,but we'd love to finish her up,"Rothacker shared."We have plans to add flashing caution lights for when we stop to help snakes and turtles cross the road."Further enhancements to the Turtle Machine include adding extra tools to help with reptile rescue pickups and live educational events.
As FFRS is a non-profit,donations toward the Super Green Turtle Machine are tax deductible.Interested individuals may contribute at www.forgottenfriend.org.

6.PALO AITO,California-"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter--even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,"US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth grades students,generally aged eight and nine,found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.91kg ) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
"The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,"said Thomas Robinson,a pediatrician (儿科专家)at Stanford University.
"American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos,and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,"Robinson said.
In the study,presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies'annual meeting in San Francisco,the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing,even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
"One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,"Robinson said.
"Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television.Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,"Robinson added.
39.What do the first two paragraphs imply?D
A.Children in the US are tired of watching TV.
B.Watching TV can help children to loose weight.
C.Younger children watch more TV than older ones.
D.More TV viewing is harmful to children's health.
40.In average,the time American children spend watching TVA.
A.is more than four hours a day
B.is less than four hours a day
C.has doubled in the last twenty years
D.is more than doing any other things
41.The researchers made sure the students didn't change their diet in order toD.
A.keep them from getting too heavy
B.enable them to do more exercises
C.reduce their time watching TV
D.make their findings more believable
42.According to the passage,why can watching TV increase kids'weight?A
A.They usually eat more while watching TV.
B.They change their diet while watching TV.
C.They burn off more calories while watching TV.
D.They don't want to take exercise while watching TV.
