   I still remember that night after my senior high school entrance examination. Even though I was at the top of my class,I was not good in history. At around 10 pm,I tried to sleep,and my eyes just wouldn't close. Suddenly,I saw my dad coming into my room,with smile on his face,asked me to go to sleep. I told him that I couldn't get to sleep. He called me into my room and put his hand on my head. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep. I took up my exam the next day and the result was satisfied. It's tough to put into word what parents do for us but times like this reminds me just how wonderful parents truly are.

   Chris is not a traditional explorer — he usually 61. (work) in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just 62. exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

   Chris is a doctor from France and he works for MSF,63. is also known as Doctors Without Borders. MSF sends trained doctors all over the world 64. (help) people after a war or a disaster.The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.

   Each year,more than 2,300 international staff join 65. (they) 34,000 locally hired colleagues to provide medical aid in countries around the world. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be 66. (prepare) to go almost anywhere and^ of course,they should expect difficult conditions. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task,he has to go for 67. least six months.

   When 68. (ask) why he left a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF,Chris said,aThe experience I gain is a great help in my career. Most 69. (important) , it is great to know at the end of each task,I have made a real 70.(different) to people's lives."

   Six months ago I made a rash(轻率的) promise. The leader of the youth 41 in our village rang me in March saying, “We’ re thinking of running a children's play program for a 42 in October half-term. Would you be prepared to 43 ?” My response was, “Sure,why not?” 44 I was a little flattered(荣幸的) to be asked,even though working as a care assistant with old people hardly 45 me for the role. Still,I put the date in my diary. Time flew and 46 I knew it,the day finally came.

   I arrived at the youth centre that morning feeling full of 47 . There were 12 helpers including me and each pair had been allocated(分配) a particular 48 group. Mine was the 10 to 11 year olds.

   The most 55 was the final performance of “He's got the whole world in his hands” in the 56 part of the day. The children knew the words and actions off by heart and sang so 57 it was almost enough to bring the roof down. It made you 58 to witness something so magical.

   There was one 59 for the children and that was that the play program was only running for a day,and not the whole week. As I said goodbye to my group,one of the children 60 and said “Can we do it again in the next holiday,Miss?” My response was, “Sure,why not?”

                                Taking good notes

   Have you ever stared at your heavy textbook,your piles of handouts and wished you knew just what questions your teacher planned to put on the next big test? Lacking a crystal ball,most students feel they have no choice but to look through all that material,drill it into their brains,and hope they can remember the right parts at test time.

   36 If you learn the best ways to take good notes,you'11 make the job of studying for tests a lot easier from now on.

   Keep up with your assigned textbook reading.Come to class with an intefest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and expecting the lecture and by pre-reading the text. 37 

   Date each day's notes and leave wide margins (页边空白) . Dated notes guide you to the right material to study for a test. At test time,the extra margins give you room to add more information if you need it. 38 

   Write down main ideas and underline or highlight them. Main ideas give you the “big pictureof information,the reasons why events took place. Write out a main idea whenever you think you hear one. 39 This kind of notetaking helps you connect related information,making it easier for you to remember it for a test later on.

   Use abbreviations and symbols to make notetaking easier. Here are a few simple ones:

   + plus,and

   = equal,same as,similar,like eg for example w/o without 

   40 If you write down something that doesn't make sense,talk to someone right away to clear up the problem.

   A. Write out a main idea.

   B. That's the hard way to study.

   C. See your teacher or a classmate about confusing notes.

   D. This gives you an overall sense of what the text is about.

   E. Also,the extra space will make it easier for you to find the material.

   F. When you are prepared,your teacher's comments make more sense.

   G. Then use single words or short phrases to list related details that tie into the big idea.

   Life skills,unfortunately,is an abstract and broad term for the abilities one would need for full participation in everyday life. So recently,I did a casual survey among my friends. I asked how they would determine whether an individual has,say,good social skills.

   One said the language of such individuals would be grammatically correct and they would express their ideas clearly. Another said good eye contact was important. Yet another added to the list the ability to get along with people,not to take things personally and the ability to help others.

   If most adults have difficulty defining the positive behaviours that are necessary to life skills,how do we know if students have acquired them the way I can describe on a report card?

   Marlaine Paulsen Cover,founder of Parenting 2.0,has done just that.

   Cover created a communication tool called the Life Skills Report Card (LSRC) . Similar in format to academic report cards,the LSRC divides life skills into five primary categories: personal care,organisation,respect for self and others,communication,and social. Sub-categories on the LSRC include: sleep,exercise,spirit'safety,time utilization,finances,ownership in problems and conflicts,altruism (无私) , and environmental consciousness.

   She found that societies around the globe routinely supported children's active learning for music,sports,and academics. When it came to life skills,however,the popular perspective (观念) was simply “children learn what they live”.

   “Yet when children are poor in certain life skills,society is quick to pass a whole person judgment,” Cover says.

   Life skills are necessary,because — to quote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson — uto be what we are,and to become what we are capable of becoming,that is the only end of life”.

32. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1 ?

   A. To present different ideas.

   B. To expect reasonable answers.

   C. To express his disappointment.

   D. To introduce points for discussion.

33. How did the author feel about the result of the survey?

   A. It was practical. B. It was worrying.

   C. It was convincing. D. It was predictable.

34. What do we know about Cover's LSRC?

   A. It has been widely used at schools.

   B. It strongly emphasizes personal care.

   C. It aims to change people's ideas about life skills.

   D. It has something in common with academic report cards.

35. Cover''s words show that people tend to.

   A. ignore the importance of life skills

   B. encourage children's active learning

   C. compare academic skills with life skills

   D. look down upon children with poor life skills

   I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone,N. C. , where I ate at F. A. R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe. You can volunteer to earn your meal,pay the suggested price ($10) or less,or you can overpay — paying it forward for a future customer's meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Cafe opened in York in April,I signed up for a volunteer shift（轮班）.

   F. A. R.M. and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafes. In 2003,Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation,helping others copy her pay-what-you-can model.

   “I think the community cafe is truly a hand up,not a handout,^ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society,but people typically dori 51 feel good about going there.

   “One of the values of the community cafe is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here,no one needs to know whether you volunteered,underpaid or overpaid." 

   The successful cafes not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhoods — whether it's a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some- offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we’ re all in this world together. '

   My 10 am-1 pm shift at Healthy World Cafe began with the cafe manager — one of two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly,but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift,I ordered my earned meal at the counter,together with other volunteers. After lunch,I walked out the door,with a handful of new friends,music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.

   Becoming a lexicographer(词典编纂者) was completely an accident. I came across a want ad for an editorial assistant. I got called for the interview and found out it was for Merriam-Webster. I thought, “Oh,I could do that." Within a couple of months,I realized this was exactly what I needed to do.

   My job is to define new words and update old ones. When I first started,I thought I'd keep a list of words I wrote new entries for. I gave up after a year and a 50-page-long list. The list would grow long and never end. At this point when people ask how many words I've entered,I can't tell them. I have probably looked at every single entry in all of our dictionaries.

   To be a new entry,a word must meet three criteria. First,widespread use. Second,it has to have sustained(持续的) usage over a certain period of time (usually years) . People think of the dictionary as being the bleeding edge,but it's not. By the time a word is in a dictionary,most people have at least seen it. Third,it has to have a meaning.

   Most words don't enter the language in a smooth way. Words will drop out,then increase in use again. There's an uneven upward trend. AIDS,I think,we entered within a year of its first use. It was clear it was not going away anytime soon.

   I've been at this job for almost 17 years. That's kind of crazy in this day and age,but it doesn't get boring. At some time you will have had enough of doing the same work over and over again,but you can find things that are new and fresh and interesting.

24. The author's job as a lexicographer .

   A. was her dream job

   B. disappointed her at first

   C. went beyond her expectations

   D. was due to several months of effort

   D. She was too busy to stick to it.

26. What does the underlined part “the bleeding edge” in Paragraph 3 mean?

   A. Something that is new.

   B. Something that is right.

   C. Something that is formal.

   D. Something that is powerful.

27. What does the author think about her job?

   A. She likes it.

   B. She finds it boring.

   C. She is crazy about it.
