And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she’s starting a new job. Not knowing a person there, we were pretty concerned about all the work involved, including how we’d get all the things unloaded(卸下) without killing ourselves.We made a connection to hire a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by to help. What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven!Unloading actually became fun and pure joy as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, theeasier the work became. A job we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was done in just a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.All the while, I was thinking that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversation were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town. I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model what it’s like to look out for(关照) one another. My new motto is, “I used to be in denial(拒绝), but now I live in Defiance!”36.

What’s the neighbor’s attitude towards the author and his wife?A. Satisfied.B. Respectful.C. Warm-hearted.D. Grateful.39. What can we learn about the author?A. He hates to live in a little town.B. He enjoys living in Defiance now.C. He used to be friendly to strangers.D. He usually offers some help to others.40. The author mainly tells us that ________.A. there is no place like homeB. where there is a will, there is a wayC. kindness is the sunshine of social lifeD. we don’t know what is good until we have lost itBThe world of journalism can be very exciting. Journalists are on the cutting edge of local and global events. Before you take a big step for becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now.Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, here’s what you need to do.● Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write well,a degree in journalism, English, or communications is also beneficial to those wishing to pursue a career in journalism. In addition to helping you gain the necessary knowledge, many universities offer employment services to new graduates. Attending journalism school, also called J-school, or journalism college is an investment in your future.● Pick a specialty (专业). Jobs in journalism vary a lot, so it is important to decide exactly what path you wish to take. For newspaper reporters, you must be flexible and able to think on your feet because stories are often fast-breaking. Deadlines are typically tight, so be prepared to write with speed and accuracy (正确). There are also broadcast journalists, investigative reporters, foreign reporters, sports journalists and so on.● You’ve got to have the right stuff. No matter which branch (分支) of journalism interests you, there are a number of necessary qualities that are common to all. Journalists must have a “nose for news”. Good journalists must use high ethics(高尚的道德规范) at all times. Additionally, a fair attitude is required for almost all areas ofjournalism; these jobs require a neutral (中立的) reporting of facts rather than opinions.● Think big, but start small. Although internships(实习) during your last two years of college equip you with much experience, it is highly unlikely that your first job as a journalist will be high-paying. However, getting a job at a community newspaper or local television station is a good start. Once you are working in the field, you’ll have the chance to prove yourself and actively seek advancement.41.

Starting at a community newspaper contributes to your journalism career.CCarnival is an annual (年度的) celebration of life found in many countries of the world. Hundreds of years ago, the followers of the Catholic (天主教的) religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild costume festival right before the first day of Lent (大斋节). Because Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called their festival, carnevale —which means “to put away the meat”.As time went by, carnivals in Italy spread to all the Catholic countries in Europe. Then as the French and Spanish began to take control of the Americas and other parts of the world, they brought with them their tradition of celebrating carnival.Important to Caribbean festival arts are the ancient African traditions of parading and moving in circles through villages in costumes and masks. Circling villages was believed to bring good fortune and to solve problems. Carnival traditions also borrow from the African tradition of putting together natural objects (bones, grasses, shells) to create a mask, or costume — with each object representing a certain spiritual force. Feathers were frequently used by Africans in their motherland on masks and headdresses(头饰)as a symbol of ability as humans to rise above problems, pains, heartbreaks and illnesses. Today, we see feathers used in many, many forms in creating carnival costumes. African dance and music traditions also influenced the early carnivalcelebrations in the Americas and stilt (高跷) dancers began to make their appearances in the carnival festivities.In order to put a carnival band together, it takes many weeks of preparation and lots of creativity, energy, and patience. Carnival offers all of us an active tool for self-expression and exploration, a tool to explore our roots, to develop new forms of looking at the world and its cultures, and finally, a tool to discover what we all have in common, and to celebrate what makes us different.46.

The Expo is typically characterized by the National Pavilions (场馆), where participating countries would display their own architecture and exhibit their nations’ technologies and cultures. With such an exhibition, the World Expo generates global interests, attracting people all over the world.The origin of the Expo comes from the French tradition of national exhibitions which started from 1844 in Paris. Soon other parts of Europe followed and held national exhibitions. It was in London on May 1st, 1851 that the first real international exhibition was held.For a long time, the Expo was especially focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. The art in science and technology from all over the world was brought together. The theme for New York World’s Fair (1939) was “Building the World of Tomorrow”. After the Expo, the World’s Fairs became more based on specific themes with cultural significance. Since Expo ’88 in Brisbane, the Expos have become more focused by each country on improving their national images (形象)through their own pavilions. National branding increases in significance as national image becomes a key asset（资产）for each country in this world.Today’s Expos present new inventions, improve cultural exchange and are also used by each country to promote themselves.The main attractions at a World Expo are the National pavilions. Each participating country will build their pavilion structures. These pavilions will often showcase each country’s architectural creativity and skills. Exploring these beautiful and fascinating buildings is a wonderful experience.Entering each pavilion, visitors can view the country’s exhibits, communicate with the people as well as enjoy the shows and performances specially prepared for the event.The Expo started a tradition, in 1967 at the Montreal Expo, of the “Expo Passport”, where visitors are given a passport booklet.
