Kaitlin Riffel’s dream to end poverty (贫困) started when she was visiting her father, who worked for the homeless.
“I never realized there were people in the world who didn’t have a home or food before,” said Kaitlin, who is now sixteen. “I knew there was something I had to do about that.”
At age eight, she started raising money to build a playground. "It took me two years," Kaitlin said. "We started small. We wanted to do something to make a difference.”
In 2014, When Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, we set Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there.
“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of.”
Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world," said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.

Is beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants （被告）. But in the executive（主管的）circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?
An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required.
This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says An ne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeabely received the fewest votes.
28. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.
A. makes women look more honest and capable
B. strengthens the manly qualities required
C. often enables women to succeed quickly
D. is of no importance to women
29. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. has as little effect on men as on women
C. affects men and women alike
D. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
30. According to the passage, people’s views on beauty are often _____.
A. one-sided
B. practical
C. old fashioned
D. supportive
31. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the advantages of being attractive
B. the disadvantages of being attractive
C. equal rights for women
D. the importance of appearance
D
Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into (大口吃) my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was ‘the worst idea ever’! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that—watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted(分心的) by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen—why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with free snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I’m at, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?
32. The underlined word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. terrified
B. depressed
C. annoyed
D. embarrassed
33. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain’s original advice?
A. The advice was carried out smoothly.
B. They permitted people to use the phone.
C. The advice was very popular with people.
D. They forbade people to use the phone.
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Young people use their social media frequently.
B. The cinema needn’t worry about their customers.
C. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.
D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards multitask at the movies?
A. Sympathy.
B. Encouragement.
C. Enthusiasm.
D. Disapproval.

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
_____36____ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
●Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7:30 am, try getting up at 7:00 am. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. ____37_____
●Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent（紧急的）ones）. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
_____38_____The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.
●Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. ____39____Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
_____40_____
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break, go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’r e facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A. Stay Focused On Your Work
B. Take Breaks When Necessary
C. If you have an office door, close it.
D. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.
E. Would you want me to make your day longer?
F. I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

We would then be in a better position to make a more 60 and considered decision about the action we should take.

Health Is Wealth
Most people try to get fame and wealth but give up their health without hesitation. However, they don’t realize that the biggest wealth is health.
As Chairman Mao put it, “Health is the capital of revolution.” Only when having health can we get happiness and enjoy success. Cao Xueqin is a profound lesson for us. He ignored his health when he was writing “A Dream In Red Mansions”. Thus, he had died before he could complete the book.
I will conclude by saying that health is wealth and that while there is health, there is hope. Please lead a healthy life.。
