A
Josh: Do you know about “pay it forward coffee” at Flora Café?
Eric: You mean volunteers pay for a cup of coffee for someone poor to have it later? Josh: Yeah. A cup of coffee is not much, but on cold winter days like today, it might warm them up a little. And maybe their hearts too.
Eric: But will Flora Café really give this cup of coffee to someone later?
Josh: Come on. I've known the shopkeeper well. He's an honest man. He's got a blackboard in the shop that says how many cups are paid for and how many have been given out.
Eric: But how will they know who to give? Anyone can ask for it, even if they're not poor.
Josh: True, but then I guess they'll just have to believe in people.
Eric: Perhaps. But will poor people go and ask for a free coffee? Won't they worry about losing face?
Josh: Why do you always say things like that?
Eric: Well, it may happen.
Josh: Yeah, I know, but I still think it's a good thing to do, and it gets people to care about others.

Rachel Carson(1907—1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有毒的) chemicals on farmland.
Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951 she published her book, The Sea Around Us, which became a best-seller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.
Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a
nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.
Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.
()37. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?
A. She started to write books.
B. She gave up working as a biologist.
C. Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.
D. Her book Silent Spring made her famous.
()38. What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?
A. She got an award.
B. She published Silent Spring.
C. The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.
D. The US government took notice of her researches.
()39. Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?
A. It describes a silent spring.
B. It topped the book sales lists.
C. It changed how America thought about nature.
D. It includes all Carson's research achievements.
()40. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean?

Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center, boys and girls! First, let me tell you something about guide dogs. In 1918, a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind. The doctor went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet dog had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.
Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote it for a magazine. Soon more people knew of the guide dogs.
The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than two years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practice four weeks.
Have I made myself clear? OK, let's go on visiting.

六、范文:
Last Saturday we visited a hope school as a volunteer. It was a great way to know some other children's life. We had a party with the students there. We also helped them clean up their classrooms. The head teacher told us some stories about some hard-working students. They were from very poor families. And in order to raise money for them, we held a big sale on the playground the next day. We raised lots of money.
I think being a volunteer is really great and I'd like to help more people.
