17.Steve Flaig of Grand Rapids,Michigan,knew he'd been adopted as a baby,and when he turned 18,in 2003,he decided he'd try to track down his birth mother.The agency from which he'd been adopted gave him his mother's name:Christine Tallady.But online searches didn't turn up any results,and Flaig let it go.
In 2007,though,he searched for the name again online.This time,the search results included a home address near the Lowe's store where Flaig,then 22,worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss,his boss said,"You mean Chris Tallady,who works here?"
Flaig and Tallady,45,a cashier,had said hi to each other a few times at the store,but they'd never really talked.He hadn't even known her name.Flaig thought,"There's no possible way she's my mother."
For a few months,Flaig avoided Tallady."I wasn't sure how to approach her,"he told a local reporter.Finally,an adoption agency employee volunteered to call Tallady for him.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she'd been waving at was her son,she blubbered."I wasn't ready to be a mother at that time."She'd given him up for adoption in 1985,when she was 23.However,she'd always hoped to meet her birth son one day.Later that day,mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar.
Married with two other children,Tallady said,"I have a complete family now."

7.What should you think about when trying to find your career?You are probably better at some school subjects than others.There may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well at school.On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects,you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learned how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with other workers.You may have learned to give correct changes in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it,but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
62.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.Advice on choosing a career.

8.One Monday morning,Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson.The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment.Before they began,the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.
Stage 1:Prepare the equipment:a test tube,a crucible,a Bunsen burner and tongs.
Stage 2:Weigh 5grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.
Stage 3:Heat 10ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.
Stage 4:Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.
Result:The acid reacts with the bicarbonate(碳酸氢盐)to form water,carbon dioxide gas and salt.The hotter the mixture,the quicker the reaction.Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates,leaving the salt in the crucible.
Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment.Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid.He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn't check with the teacher if it was the right solution.
He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube.Using tongs to hold the test tube,he heated it over the Bunsen burner.That's when things started to go wrong.The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid.When it was heated,it formed a thick cloud of white gas.Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt.The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once.She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.
Fortunately,nobody was injured in the incident.However,it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.

43.What lesson did the incident teach the students and the teacher?A
A.Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab!
B.Obey your teacher's instructions in the Chemistry lab.
C.Acrylamide can't take the place of hydrochloric acid.
D.Finding something unusual happened,you have to leave the laboratory at once.
44.What substance were the students making in the experiment?C
A.Water              B.Carbon dioxide gas         
C.Salt               D.Poisonous gas
45.Why did Paul make the mistake?D
A.He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself.
B.He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.
C.There was no label on the bottle.
D.Paul didn't check with the teacher that it was the right solution.
46.Why did the teacher send the students out of the classroom?C
A.Because the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
B.Because all the students started coughing and their eyes hurt.
C.Because the liquid was a crylamide and that it is poisonous.
D.Because someone was injured in the incident.
2.Why did the chicken cross the road?To get to the other side.
Most people know this joke.But recently,some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain Hon can cross the road.
"Millions of animals die each year on U.S.roads,"the Federal Highway Administration reports.In fact,only about 80ocelots,an endangered wild cat,exist in the U.S.today.The main reason?Roadkill.
"Eco-passages"may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars.They are paths both over and under roads."These eco-passages can be extremely useful,so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,"said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.
But do animals actually use the eco-passages?The answer is yes.Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway.This showed that the lions used the passage.
Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them.Animals seem to be catching on.Animals as different as salamanders(火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.
The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife,look around.You might see an animal overpass!

26.The writer uses the example of"ocelots"to show that.C
A.wild animals have become more dangerous
B.the driving condition has improved greatly
C.an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents
D.the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work
27.From the story,we know an eco-passage is.D
A.an underground path for cars
B.a fence built for the safety of the area
C.a bridge for animals to get over a river
D.a path for animals to cross the road
28.When the writer says that"animals seem to be catching on,(Para.6),he means.D
A.animals begin to realize the dangers on the road
B.animals are crossing the road in groups
C.animals are increasing in number
D.animals begin to learn to use eco-passages
29.The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling becauseB
A.wild animals may attack cars
B.they may see wild animals on eco-passages
C.they may see wild animals in the park
D.wild animals may jam the road
30.The best title for the passage is.A
A.Special bridges help animals cross the road
B.Endangered animals increase because of roadkill
C.Animals fail to cross the road
D.Take steps to protect animals in danger.
7.Are you looking for something to do?You might like to try one of these four experiences.
Crocodile watching
Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth?Crocosaurus Cove,in Darwin (Australia) has the"Cage of Death".It's an enclosure that's lowered into a pool.This gives you a 360degree view of a crocodile as it's being fed.The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom,but they've fixed it since then.
EdgeWalk
How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air?If that sounds like fun,head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario,Canada).Built in 1976,the tower is 553.33meters tall.
The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30minute stroll along a 1.5meter wide platform that runs around the tower's restaurant roof.During the walk,you're encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto's skyline (轮廓线).
Plastic ball rolling
Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?
Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world,but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand).Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994.A typical orb (球) is about 3meters in diameter,with an inner orb size of about 2meters.There's no brake or steering mechanism,but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.
Volcano bungee jumping
If you're looking for the adventure of a lifetime,how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano?As part of the jumping,a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano,one of the most active in Chile.Once you're at the drop zone,you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano.Finally,you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.
