题目内容

I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1,1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.

I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally ,the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.

When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.

In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.

That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.

I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so…”

My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.

1.How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?

A. Angry and sad.

B. Excited and moved.

C. Curious and scared.

D. Happy and interested.

2.What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. My brother is the real baby in the family.

B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.

C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.

D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.

3.What does the brother often help the author do?

A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.

B. Help him with his studies.

C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.

D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A. My Strange Family Gatherings

B. The Real Baby in the Family

C. Stuck with Me—My Not-So-Little Little Brother

D. The Feeling of Having a Brother

An organization, Eye Care 4 Kids, is bringing much-needed eye care to poor kids. It provides free eye examinations for kids from poor families. Founded by Joseph Carbone in 2001, the organization has helped around 100,000 children in Utah and Nevada.

Now, Cecil Swyers, a biomedical(生物医学的) engineer who was once a poor child himself, is bringing the charity’s(慈善) services to poor students in Arizona, so that vision impairment(视力受损) doesn’t stand in the way of their education.

“Eye Care 4 Kids is bringing eye care and glasses to families that wouldn’t have the means to pay for them,” said Mario Ventura from Isaac Elementary School District, the first school district in Arizona to receive its services.

Good vision is important to a child’s learning experience. According to a study, up to 80 percent of learning happens through sight for children between 6 and 18 years old. Without proper eye care, it’s difficult for students to learn better and succeed.

Swyers is hoping that by bringing the organization to Arizona he’ll help a lot more students. He teamed up with two other organizations to get doctors to volunteer their time with the group. Using an Eye Care 4 Kids mobile clinic, Swyers visited Alta E. Butler Elementary School and has already helped 40 students.

The school was grateful to receive the eye care, especially since the services came to them. “It’s great for us,” said Assistant Principal Cindy Alonso.

Swyers is hoping to bring Eye Care 4 Kids’ services to other schools in the state. He said that hopefully his work will have a positive effect on students’ futures. “If we can help students while they’re young, we can make a difference in their futures,” he said.

1.Eye Care 4 Kids helps students by _______.

A. giving them sunglasses for free

B. offering money to their families

C. examining their eyes for free

D. solving their problems in study

2.Who is in charge of the organization’s services in Arizona?

A. Joseph Carbone.B. Cecil Swyers.

C. Mario Ventura.D. Cindy Alonso.

3.Where do students take an eye examination?

B. In the mobile clinic.

C. In the nearby hospital.

D. In the places where students live.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Eye Care 4 Kids Was Founded by the Poor

B. Eye Care 4 Kids Develops at a Fast Speed

C. Eye Care 4 Kids Helps Poor Kids Succeed

D. Eye Care 4 Kids Fights for Better Education

1. Most students graduating from high school and college this year will probably have jobs in the next decade that don 't even exist today because the technology to support those positions hasn 't even been invented yet .The concepts of going to work ,having one career ,moving for a new job ,and wasting time or avoiding doing any work may soon be a distant memory as the world of work as we know it is replaced by a brave new world where few travel to their jobs,work a 9-to -5 day ,or sit in endless staff meetings

2. In the past it was difficult to measure employee performance, and hours of productivity were wasted. Now many job tasks are measurable with automated time and task tools and individual performance can be directly linked to a company's bottom-line results.

3. Project teams can be organized all over the world, and cheap communication and document sharing tools such as Skype and Google docs can be used to share information. In addition, for many jobs, where you live may have little relevance in the future; you could be competing against a global rather than a local talent pool.

4. More and more companies are organizing project teams and disbanding the teams once the work is completed.

While all this sounds pretty scary at first glance, work in the future may be more rewarding than ever. People will have more freedom and control over their work environment and schedule and earnings will be based more on merit （绩效）than location. While it's true that not every job will fit into this futuristic （想象的）pattern, many will. 5.

A:No one knows what the future work is like .

B:Here's what the future of work looks like.

C:Do you know what you want to do in the future?

D:Will your job be part of the future of work?

E:The world of work is changing quickly .

F:For many professionals, gone are the days of traveling to a central location.

G:The days of working for one company and retiring with the gold watch are gone.

Have you ever seen an animal being mistreated (虐待)? Seeing a pet or wild animal get hurt might make you sad, angry, or afraid. 1. In fact, the good news is that everyone — including you — can be a helping hand for animals.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

﹡ have cuts or other bruises（伤痕）

﹡ avoid or attack people when people come close

﹡ are too thin

﹡ are almost always left outside

These signs don’t necessarily mean a pet has been hurt on purpose, but they shouldn’t be ignored. If you see any of these signs, set them down. 3. What did you see or hear? Where? When? Were other people around?

Never move an injured animal! Ask a parent, teacher, or other adult you trust for help. Find out whether the injured animal in your town can be saved by animal shelters or police. Keep their phone numbers at hand. If the person mistreating animals is a friend or family member, tell an adult you trust.

Speak up.

Let other kids know what to do if they see an animal being hurt. Using the information above, make posters to hang or flyers (传单) to hand out at school. Include the phone numbers of the police department or animal shelters who can save the injured animals.5. They need us to speak up for them!
