5．When American soldiers return home from war with disabilities，they often suffer twice-first from their combat injuries，next from the humiliation （羞辱）of government dependency．
Wounded veterans （老兵）learn they have two basic choices：They can receive almost $3，000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs，or they can try to find a job．Especially in this economy，it's no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down．
Mark Duggan，an economics professor at Stanford University，reports that enrollment in U．S．veterans'disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014．The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled，from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014．Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion．
In the 1980s and 1990s，male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans．But since 2000，that has changed dramatically．Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and nonveteran labor participation，with veteran participation lower．
Navy SEAL Eric Greitens，founder of The Mission Continues，explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country．
"When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity，"he says．"Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs，and others，encourage them to view themselves as disabled．"By the time they come to Greitens'non-profit organization，"We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute．"
There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom．One is the expansion of qualification criteria．In 2000，for instance，type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease．Heart disease has also been added to the list．
Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents'generation．Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts； 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54．
We shouldn't go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness．But Lt．Col．Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful，psychologically，to former soldiers．Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point．He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft．Carson，in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce．
"People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off，"he warned．"They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol．They are more likely to live alone．"
What a waste of human potential，especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when they're discharged （遣退）．
We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities．As Gade noted in a recent article，"Veterans should be viewed as resources，not as damaged goods．"He recommended that"efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on their disabilities，and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency．"
On a more practical note，the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate resources to spend more on job training and less on disability．Current placement programs are sadly inadequate．
We are good at sending soldiers off to war．Yet when these young men and women return home，they are essentially told，"We'll give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life，but we won't help you find a job．"
It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole （救济金） rather than enabling them to reenter the workforce with the necessary accommodations．

14．Children whose minds wander might have sharper brains，a research suggests．
A study has found that people who appear to be often distracted （走神） have more"working memory"，giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and control it cleverly．
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks，such as following teachers'instructions or remembering dictated （听写的） sentences．During the study，volunteers were asked to perform one simple task during which researchers kept asking if their minds were wandering．At the end，volunteers measured their working memory capacity （容量） by their ability to remember a series of letters mixed with simple maths questions．
Daniel Levinson，a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States，said that those with higher working memory capacity reported"more mind wandering during these simple tasks"，but their performance did not suffer．
The results，published online in the journal Psychological Science，appear to confirm former research that found working memory allows humans to deal with multiple thoughts at the same time．
Dr Jonathan Smallwood，of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig，Germany，said，"What this study seems to suggest is that，when surroundings for the task aren't very difficult，people with additional working memory capacity use them effectively to think about other things besides what they're doing．"
Working memory capacity is also associated with general measures of intelligence，such as reading comprehension and IQ scores．Dr Smallwood added："Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life-when they are on the bus，when they are cycling to work，when they are in the shower-are probably supported by working memory．"

28．During the study，the researchers asked the volunteers toD．
A．solve some difficult math's problems
B．retell some dictated sentences
C．follow the teacher's instructions
D．carry out one simple task
29．The underlined word"suffer"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA．
A．become worse    B．settle down   C．experience pain  D．run out
30．According to the study，working memoryC．
A．prevents people from remembering dictated sentences
B．causes people's minds to wander more easily
C．allows people to consider more things at the same time
D．leads to people's worse performance during work
31．What's the text mainly about？B
A．How the working memory works in the daily life．
B．Wandering minds might have brighter brains．
C．Why people's minds wander while working．
D．Working ability can be improved by wandering minds．

18．In 1978，I was 18and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney，Australia．I was looking forward to having five days off from duty．Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left．So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便车）．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me．Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon．He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch．He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry．I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards．When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches．After lunch，he helped me find a lift home．
Twenty-five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride．I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier．I pulled over and picked him up．I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water．
After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，"You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same．"I couldn't remember where I'd met him．He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago．It was Gordon．

16．If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America，you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers．These great forests are the oceans of trees．They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animal．
However，the world forests are getting smaller all the time．We are cutting down the trees because we need wood，and we need more farmland．Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20or 30years．What will happen if they disappear？
If we cut down our forests，a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world．In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts．Crops will not grow there．It will not rain very often，and the weather will get very hot．Perhaps the climate of the world will change．
This will be dangerous for everyone in the world．That is why we must take care of forests．
