Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.

Rachel Carson(1907-1964)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison.

A young woman was driving through the lonely countryside. It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift.
“I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door.
“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a wh ile, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what she said, the hitchhiker (搭便车的人) gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug. Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker’s hands which were large and hairy.
Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see out of the rear screen,” she said. “Would you mind clearing it for me?”
The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off.
When she got to the next village she pulled up. She noticed that the hitchhiker had left his handbag behind. She picked it up and opened it. She gave a gasp —inside the bag was a gun.

People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework. Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (巩固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.
However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said,“They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.”
Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.
28. How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”?
A.3.
B.4.
C.5.
D.6.
29. According to the experts’ opinions, ___________.
A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct
B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long
C. teachers should give necessary work to the students
D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class
30. What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about thei r book report?
A. They find homework really hard.
B. They simply copy one repeatedly.
C. They get different ways of thinking about their work.
D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read.
31. Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____.
A. increasing homework
B. changing schools
C. changing teachers
D. reducing homework
D
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
32. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because you eat too much for lunch．
B. Because it’s hot in summer．
C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time．
D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night．
33. What can we learn ab out “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．
B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．
C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease．
D. Taking naps r egularly is beneficial to people’s health．
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.
B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Just for a Rest
B. All need a Nap
C. A Special Sleep Pattern
D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate

I’m Li Hua from class one,senior two. I am writing to apply for the opportunity to help the students in Chenxi Hope School with their English. Thus they can improve their English during the summer vacation. Meanwhile, I can learn how to get along well the students and benefit the whole school.
I'm kind, easy-going and always ready to help others. I wash clothes and make beds by myself to develop independence. English is my favorite subject and I have won several prizes in English contests. So I think that I am qualified for the position.
I plan to communicate with students first to know what they need. Besides,I'll try to get them more interested in English by telling stories, singing songs,playing games and so on.
I'd appreciate it if you could give me the opportunity.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua。
