Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace.

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed
a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of
people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers, even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.
25. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A. He made good use of ideas from others.
B. He produced the first car in the world.
C. He knew how to improve auto parts.
D. He invented the production line.
26. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A. To show off his driving skills.
B. To draw public attention.
C. To learn about new technology.
D. To raise money for his new company.
27. "That sale" in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B. the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D. the sales target for the Ford Company
28. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A. Producing cars for average customers
B. Building racing cars of simple design
C. Designing more car models
D. Starting more companies
C
Scott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah, north of Brisbane last year.
Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.
The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助) through the project. The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.
Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.
“We were heavyhearted,” says S cott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”
Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.
Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.
“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”
“We have experienced a bit of a learning ph ase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”
29. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?
A. It was built by their parents.
B. It can accommodate four residents.
C. It belongs to a governmental project.
D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.
30. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?
A. To help them do exercise.
B. They were making a lot of noise.
C. To check on their breathing.
D. They were under emotional pressure.
31. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?
A. A bit guilty.
B. Quite happy.
C. Very proud.
D. Slightly angry.
32. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?
A. Lack of fund.
B. No workplace.
C. Inexperienced staff members.
D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.
D
Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.
Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that were consistently negative was parents' help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks. “They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learn it themselves，but they're still offering advice.”
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. “A big surprise was that Asian American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to
their children how success at school could improve their lives.”
33．The underlined expression “parental involvement” in Paragraph 1 p robably means_____.
A．parents' expectation on children's health
B．parents' participation in children's education
C．parents' control over children's life
D．parents' plan for children's future
34．What is the major finding of Robinson's study?
A．Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.
B．Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.
C．Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.
D．Parents are not able to help with children's homework.
35．The example of Asian American parents implies that parents should________.
A．help children realize the importance of schooling
B．set a specific life goal for their children
C．spend more time improving their own lives
D．take a more active part in school management

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States.
36 . In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came,
but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. 37 . Very hot weather,
on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. 38 . They even don’t like to outdoor activities.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. 39 . There is a “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade (摄氏度).
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? 40 .
A．It may be the weather’s problem.
B．Warm weather can have a bad effect on health.
C．The wind can help people have higher intelligence.
D．But fat people may have a hard time in hot weather.
E．People may have higher intelligence when low air pressure comes.
F．People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days.
G．People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month.

Dear Paul.
How is everything going here in China? I am writing to tell you that our school will organize an activity to invite the students from the One Road One Belt exchange program to visit a china town nearby to know more about Chinese culture.
The town which is famous for making china has a long history. To begin with, it
is a cultural and creative town, where not only can you see different designs of china but also enjoy beautiful scenery. More interestingly, you can try making china in the DIY area, which will surely appeal to you.
If you accept my invitation, we will gather at the school gate at 8:00 on Saturday morning. I’d appreciate it if you could give me a reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua.
