“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organises the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to
admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?
25.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?
A.She knows little about the club.
B.She isn’t good at sports.
C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.
26.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds.
D.Provide advice.
27.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A.She gets interested in lacrosse.
B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She’ll work for another season.
D.She becomes a good helper.
28.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A.It gives her a sense of duty.
B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard.
D.It brings her material rewards.
C
Bob was born in Cambridge.When he was in elementary school,he asked his mother to take him to parks in their community so he could collect empty soda cans to recycle.His mother agreed,as long as he saved part of the money he earned for college.
Bob’s mother remembers Bob as the most determined of her seven kids.Bob’s hard work paid off.On Friday,he will become the first person in his family,originally from El Salvador,to graduate from college.And he’s graduating with university honours.
For his honours thesis(毕业论文) he researched unmanned solar-powered(太阳能) airplanes,which BYU students have been building and testing for about 10 years.Bob’s study helps discover the best way to fly a solar-powered airplane so that it uses the least amount of power.The goal is to design and build an airplane that flies uncertainly.Bob’s thesis helps lay the basis for this work.
“My parents were always hard-working,” Bob said.“They often tell us hard work leads to success.”Bob’s father taught him to read at the age of 3,and his mother is now a student at Utah Valley University on the way to becoming a dentist.
Bob recognised he overcame some obstacles(障碍)to get where he is.For starters,English is his second language.He also faced stereotypes(模式化的形象).Although Bob never doubted that he would be a college graduate,other people believed he wouldn’t because he didn’t come from a family of high income.There were other obstacles as well,but Bob viewed them all as opportunities.
Bob’s mother says she feels very happy and proud that her son is about to graduate with honours,and remembers the effort he’s made to get there.“He has worked very hard.He started something,and now he has finished it,” Cathy says.“I have always told him,‘If this is your dream,then you can get it!Keep working hard and you can get it!’”
29.What do we know about Bob’s honours thesis?

Google’s new camera,called Clips,is a small,smart device.It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子),but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing.Most interestingly,it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera,with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness,is intended for candid moments,like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device,it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes.Those algorithms include face recognition.“Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently,it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne,the device’s product manager.And they also want it to recognise facial expressions,which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”.The Google team also trained it to recognise what not to shoot —like when a child’s hand is over the lens,or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone,as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange?Yes,Payne admitted.But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is.A green light on the front signals that it is on.Besides,unlike a camera meant to monitor your home,it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced.” Payne said,noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device of this
size.Going forward,we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
33.What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A.It is equipped with tough glass.
B.It enables the easy Internet access.
C.It allows of hands-free photography.
D.It can be worn on your clothing.
34.What does the underlined word “candid” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Short.
B.Touching.
C.Unforgettable.
D.Embarrassing.
35.What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A.The popularity of the Internet.
B.The advance in technology.
C.The rise of the smartphone industry.
D.The reduction in the price of lens.
36.What is the best title for the text?
A.A New Digital Camera from Google
B.New Gadgets in the Age of Apps
C.Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life
D.An Alternative Way to Photography

If you have ever done competitive sports,you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.37 Here are a few ways to make sure that you’re ready for the first day.
38 Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it.Ask your coach,gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan.Besides,write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
Ask your coach if you aren’t sure what you need.New equipment can be expensive,so think about using some second-hand equipment if it’s available.Brothers,sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.39 You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice.If you are a returning player,take out all your equipment,try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
40 Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts.College players,coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps.Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to
participate.Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season,doctors tend to be busy those times of the year.Therefore,set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.41
A.Set realistic goals.
B.You can also consider a sports camp.
C.Just make sure that it’s very clean and safe to use.
D.It’s also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.
E.Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.
F.Start by writing an exercise plan if you don’t have one.
G.That can give the doctor plenty of time to fill out your paperwork.

A child will not feel comfortable playing field on a cold winter’s day.But school sports help 57 (child) in their academic studies in years to come.58(research) said other activities such as music or religious activities were not as 59(benefit) for attention as taking part in a game lesson.The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten,with those 60 had taken part in sports since the start of junior school faring 61(well) than those who hadn’t.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten.Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information 62(provide) by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew 63.By the time they reached the fourth grade,kids who played structured sports were 64(clear) better at following instructions and 65(remain) focused in the classroom.There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team or a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand 66 importance of respecting the rules and honouring responsibilities.”

Playing endless games of hide and seek with your toddler can get tiring very quickly.And sometimes parents need a break from pretending not to know the very obvious spot where their child is
hiding.Well,you no longer have to feel guilty about letting your kids sit down in front of the television for an hour or two,because it’s been proven,that in certain circumstances,screen time for your kids can actually be beneficial.
The key thing to remember is that unsupervised and too much screen time isn’t good for your kids,but some situations let you relax and will keep your kids interested.One example is video chatting with family.The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that maintaining strong relationships with your family members that live far away is an important part of development.Being able to visually see their face and chat with them at the same time is good for your kids,even if it’s on a screen.So let your little one sit on the couch,Facetime in grandma and grandpa,and you can go and catch up on other things around the house.
Another way to include screen time in a beneficial way is to watch TV together.Turn on an educational kids’ show and sit next to your toddler to answer any questions that they might have.The AAP says that a few hours of television a week is fine as long as you make it a family activity and encourage your kids to ask questions about the show.One show in particular that can be extremely beneficial to watch together is Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS.Researchers at Texas Tech University reported that kids who watched 10 episodes over a two-week period had higher levels of confidence,and they were able to recognise emotions better.
So don’t feel guilty for letting your kids sit inside for a little;all parents need a break.。
