A ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.
That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure (身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if
there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救护车) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!
24.When seeing a figure in an open garage, Danny ________.
A. recognized it was an old man
B. thought it was a homeless dog
C. realized something was wrong
D. believed it was nothing important
25.When Dawn got closer to the garage, she ________.
A. noticed the dog had gone away
B. knew Danny’s hunch was wrong
C. found an old lady waving for help
D. felt something must have been stolen
26.Which of the following can best describe Danny?
A. Brave and patient.
B. Friendly and honest.
C. Considerate and optimistic.
D. Persistent and warm-hearted.
27.What could be the best title for the text?

B. Be ready to help save the elderly.
C. Unknown hero brings love and hope.
D. 10-year-old saves elderly neighbor’s life.

Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paying professions(职业) are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day.
In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new
analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelor’s degree(学士学位) for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.
“The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement. “But some of the he althiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don’t require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”
Here are the top-paying jobs that don’t require you to work at a desk in various kinds —none of which require a four-year college degree —and their hourly salary(工资) and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants(助理) : $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical(电动机械的) technicians: $24.68, 8 percent.
While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t wo rk at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.
28. What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Turn off a switch.
B. Look for a job.
C. Keep on working.
D. Give up working.
29. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph?
A. A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.
B. The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.
C. The college degree is the ticket to a position.
D. A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.
30. What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work?
A. High salary.
B. Medicine.
C. Information technology.
D. Service industries.
31. Which job has grown the fastest since 2010?
A. Elevator repairers.
B. Professional assistants.
C. Electromechanical technicians.
D. Mechanical engineering technicians.

MacDonald paused a moment in front of the burning car. Flames six feet tall poured from the engine, the smell of melting rubber heavy in the air. For a few seconds, MacDonald thought about whether the car would explode, killing them both. He thought about how lucky he was to have already just survived a head-on collision between his truck and the red Chevy Cobalt now in flames. Was he ready to risk his life to save the man that he believed could have ended his?
The two-vehicle collision happened at 3:44 p.m. on Monday south of Newmarket. MacDonald was heading to work when, he says, another car swerved into his lane, hitting him head-on. Soon after the collision, the other driver’s car burst into flames with him trapped inside. MacDonald, 25, came to a decision. He would try to save the man’s life. He ran to the car. The driver’s side door was blocked but the passenger’s door was pushed open by the driver, a 64-year-old man now barely conscious. Hardly noticing the heat, MacDonald opened the door and grabbed the shoulder of the drive r’s jacket. He dragged the man about 15 feet before two bystanders came to help him pull the man to a safe distance. Moments later the entire car was on fire.
The police confirmed the other driver was charged with careless driving. MacDonald escaped the crash with whiplash, sore muscles and wrists from the airbag release, and a headache. The other driver received serious but non-life threatening injuries, said the police.
MacD onald is just grateful that both of them came out alive. “I’m just glad I stood up when I was needed,” said Mac D onald. “You only get a couple of chances in your life
to prove what you are made of.”
32.From the passage we know MacDonald is ______.
A. brave and helpful
B. generous but careless
C. grateful and kind
D. selfish but careful
33.The accident happened because ______.
A. there was a car burning
B. the rubber was melting
C. the driver was careless
D. the driver was screaming
34.Before MacDonald saved the man, he ______.
A. found his car was greatly damaged
B. doubted whether he should offer help
C. was not hurt in the accident at all
D. didn’t realize the danger of rescue
35.The underlined word “swerved”(Paragraph 2) means “______”.
A. turned
B. knocked
C. cut
D. broke

Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our building. I immediately took my first-aid kit and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him. Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to hospital. Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man's life. I was happy to hear that. 36 There were many people who wanted to help around the old man then. Yet no one performed first aid on him as they hadn’t attended a first-aid course.
37 Here are my reasons.
You can gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to act in an emergency. You never know when you might need them—you could be at home, at work, at school or on holiday. If you have the skills, you can act whenever you're needed.
38 For your family, your neighbors or the broader community, having more people with first-aid skills helps build a stronger and more harmonious community.
You can stay safe at work. 39 With first-aid knowledge you can create a
safe work environment and help meet your workplace’s safety requirements.
It’s helpful to your future career.The first-hand experience you gain through learning first aid and using your skills could help you decide if you want to pursue a career in the health profession. 40
A.Yet at the same time I felt a bit sad.
B.I received a phone call from the hospital.
C.You can be a resource for your community.
D.Illness and injury can happen anywhere, anytime.
E.You can take first-aid courses in your community for free.
F.I think everyone should learn at least some basic first-aid techniques, which can be very vital.
G.It also shows your commitment to a career in the health profession when it comes to applying for jobs.

65 my last night in Beijing before returning to the States, I went to a Peking Duck restaurant that had been suggested for me to try. What a beautiful place! Splendid woodblock prints on the walls, fresh flowers in the vases on the table, 66 (attract) silverware (镀银餐具) and beautiful chopsticks. I was handed 67 menu and found most of the prices 68 (be) especially low for the high quality of the food. The duck came in whole or half, along with all the little decorations that you know if you’ve ever eaten Peking Duck—a little tortilla (玉米饼) to put the sliced duck and vegetables in, chopped onion and sauce.
Anyway, I ended up ordering a whole duck and thought I’d just take the rest back to my hotel 69 (eat) later if I couldn’t finish it. Unbelievably, in the end there was none of the whole duck 70 (leave) on the plate. Umm, yummy!

In the future, man’s life will be very different from that of today. First, with the development of medicine, on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120.
Second, because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. Third, people’s daily life will change greatly, too. For example, robots will do all your housework for you; your chair will change its color to match what you’re wearing; perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday.

M: Growing crops in containers saves water. It needs little fertilizer(肥料). In addition, the chemicals cannot run off into nearby waterways. The same earth mixture can be used for five or six years.
Since Earth Boxes went on sale in 1994, many people around the world have used them. Other people have made their own vegetable growing boxes. Some use two
large plastic containers. One container has holes in the bottom and sits inside the other box. Earth mixture goes into the top container, and water goes through a tube into the bottom box. A plastic trash bag is then used to cover the top container.
Some people think this kind of gardening will be important to people in poor countries where hunger is a problem. A lot of food can be grown in a small space for a small amount of money.
The people who make Earth Boxes are interested in educating young people. They have developed a program aimed at teaching students science and agriculture. When children first enter elementary school, they learn about water, soil, light, and nutrition. In middle school, they do experiments and collect information. In high school, they learn how to use math to better understand what happens when plants grow. The learning program includes written materials for teachers and students. And it uses an Earth Box in the classroom as a small laboratory for experiments.。
