A Heroes of Our Time

A good heart

Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship(奖学金) to study medicine —but Coach(教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the

duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. Af friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”

Success and kindness

After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos(录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others —producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.”

Bravery and courage

A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails(铁轨), and held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists he’s not a hero. He says: “We have got to show each other some love.”

A cactus(仙人掌) stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowhere. “I do nothing but to stand here all day,” it sighed, what use I am? I am the ugliest plant in the desert. My spines are thick and prickly, my leaves are rubbery and tough, and my skin is thick and bumpy. I can’t offer shade or juicy to any passing traveler. I don’t see that I am any use at all.” All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter. Its spines grew longer and its leaves tougher, and it swelled here and there until it was lumpy and lopsided all over. It truly was strange-looking.

“ I wish I could do something useful,” it signed. By day hawks circled high overhead.” What can I do with my life?” the cactus called. Whether they heard or no t, the hawks sailed away. At night the moon floated into the sky and cast its pale glow on the desert floor. “what good can I do with my life?” the cactus called. The moon only stared coldly as it mounted its course, a lizard crawled by, leaving a little t rail in the sand with its tail. “what worth y deed can I do? ”The cactus called “you?” the lizard laughed, pausing a moment. “worthy deed? Why , you can’t do anything! The hawks circle way overhead, tracing delicate patterns for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our ways home to our loved ones. Even I ,the lowly lizard, have something to do. I decorate the sands with these beautiful brush-strokes as I pull my tail along. But you? You do nothing but get uglier every day.”

And so it went on, year after year. At last the cactus grew old, and it knew its name grew old, and it knew its time was short. “oh, lord,” it cried out, “ I have wondering so long, and I have tried so hard. Forgive me if I have failed to find something worthy to do. I fear that now it’s too late.” But just then the cactus felt a strange stirring and unfolding, and it knew a surge of joy that erased all despair, at its very tip, like a sudden crown, a glorious flower suddenly opened in bloom. Never had the desert know such blossom. Its fragrance perfumed the air far and wide and brought happiness to all passing by. The butterflies paused to admire its beauty, and that night even the moon smiled when it rose to find such a treasure. The cactus hard a vo ice. “you have waited long,” the lord said. “the heart that seeks to do good reflects my glory, and will always bring something worthwhile to the world, something in which all can rejoice-even if for a moment.”

60.What does the underlined part “in the middle of nowhere” mean?

A. In the middle of some place.

B.In the middle of the desert.

C. In the distant area.

C. it’s never too late to learn

D.A bird in hand is worth two in the bush

The luxury of eating an apple on Mars could cost as much as US $22,000. That's because it costs about US $120,000 to launch a kilogram of anything into deep space. So getting enough food into orbit is a big problem facing astronauts on a trip to Mars.

After NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has no current plans to send astronauts to Mars , related research is being carried out-including the production of food. Astronauts on the international Space Station usually eat primarily freeze-dried food to which they add water. However, the weight of the packaging-almost as much as the food inside-costs a lot of money. The biggest problem of all is a psychological （心理上的）one.

Scientists believe that astronauts will suffer without the variety offered by fresh vegetables. The answer is to grow at least some of the food. On a short trip it is imagined that

astronauts will eat vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and carrots grown in a refrigerator-sized unit known as a "salad machine". On longer journeys they will actually grow vegetables in greenhouses on Mars. Martian astronauts will eat a vegetarian diet since it will not be practical to raise animals. To make up for the lack of meat, recipes have been created to add as much variety to the diet as possible, using only a basic number of products. It uses heat and mechanical force to transform soybeans into meat and cheese substitutes. The prized result of this research is a purely vegetable-based pizza with meat and cheese substitutes .

63. What is the best title for this story?

A. Space Food

B. Astronauts' Problem

C. The Packaging of Space Food

D. Mars Rover-Spirit

64. What is the main problem with the diet of astronauts on the international Space Station now?

A. The packaging is too expensive.

B. Only fresh vegetables are offered.

C. Too much water is needed for dried food.

D. There are not enough choices of food.

65. What is the "salad machine" in the spaceship for?

A. It stores vegetables.

B. It grows vegetables.

C. It cooks green salad.

D. It mixes green salad.

66.Which of the following will possibly NOT be included in the diet plan for Martian astronauts?

A. Vegetables.

B. A special kind of Pizza.

C. Meat.

D.Soybeans

NO six men anywhere on a stage could present such a soul-touching, fun-filled performance as the King's Singers do. And now, they're coming to China.

The King's Singers are six male Singers from the United Kingdom. They have generated international fame for almost four decades by performing in the musical form a cappella, which means singing without instrumental accompaniment.

The musical form has deep religious roots coming as it does from early Christian music (of many centuries ago).

The King's Singers started in 1968 and originally consisted of six choral music students at King's College, Cambridge University. A total of 19 artists have joined the group since its founding, but the number of performers at any given time remains at six.

Now don't be put off by the mention of church music or choirs. The most amazing characteristic of the King's Singers is that they can do anything. They are not restricted only to classical music.

To quote from their official website: "from mediaeval to renaissance, romantic to contemporary, folk and pop, their list of music covers everything."

In fact, my personal favourites of their work were the folk and jazz adaptations. Simon & Garfunkel, the 1960's American folk group, for example, get a wonderful treatment by the six Englishmen.

In their versions of some modern music, the King's Singers often imitate the sounds of musical instruments with their mouths and noses. This funny effect is seen in the way they play around with the music, making up witty lyrics and singing to classical or famous tunes.

67.The article probably comes from_______.

A. a professional music magazine

B. a transcript of an interview

C.an entertainment column of a newspaper

D. a public service advertisement

68.How many singers is the King’s Singeres made up of?

A. 6

B. 19

C. 25

D. 13

69.The purpose of the writer’s mention of Simon ＆Garfunkel is ____________.

A.to com pare the king’s Singers to Simon & Garfunkel

B. to introduce his favourite music group

C. to give an example of the King’s Singers successful adaptations

D. to show the King’s Singers call perform better than Simon & Garfunkel

70. Which of the following information might follow the last paragraph?

A. The time and place of their first performance in China

B. Their early experience in the UK.

C.Their unique performing style

D. Their family background and religious belief.

Fairview Elementary School, Modesto, California, with some 1,000 students from kindergarten through sixth grade (about 80 percent of them Latino), has long suffered from discipline(纪律) problems, poor test scores, and a near total lack of parental involvement. The difficulties aren't surprising given that many of the parents --- immigrants who work on farms or in factories --- speak little or no English.

Since 2002, Fairview Elementary School has been a First Amendment School, one of 97 developed across the country by the First Amendment Center. The idea behind the five-year-old programme:To keep American strong, children must be trained to respect many points of view, weigh complex issues, and understang the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution(). As students learn good citizenship, the thery goes .They ‘ll develop the skills and attitude to do well academically.

Fairview students enjoy "freedoms" other kids might envy (they voted not to wear school uniforms, for example).But the children don’t just exercise rights. They also accept such responsibilities as speaking up during class discussions, and keeping the school clean and safe (Fairview is considered the cleanest of 33 schools in its district).In one departure from tradion, there is no hand-raising in class. "Instead," says teacher Deborah Supnet, "we teach them to listen until the other child stops talking." It is called an exercise in respect.

Last year, the number of students evaluated advanced in math doubled, from 15% to 30%. And Fairview graduates in their first middle-school mid-termexam averaged B grades ; 96 percent passed all subjects. Particularly encouraging to Principal Rob Williams , the school now has an active parents’group,Parents with a V oice. One of those parents, Laura Malagon, praises the program for convincing. her to play a more active role in her children’s school life.

Working Individully or Working in a team

There are basically two wys to get work done.

One is to work individully.In this way,people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it.What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own and how to think independently.

People may also choose to work in a team,where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides,they may work out better ways to get work done by

discussion. They can truly learn the skills of cooperation and how to get through the ideas to their mates.

Personally, I prefer to work in a team,which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.
