The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus totake. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule(时刻表), she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标签), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence(自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.41. What did the writer do last summer?A. She worked in the supermarket.B. She helped a woman to learn to dance.C.

Because she didn't have a bus schedule.C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.43. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B. She asked others to take her to the right place.C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.D. She remembered the names of the goods.44. Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?A. She could do many things she had not been able to before.B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.C. She decided to continue her studies in school.D. She helped to build up my self-confidence.45.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user's position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.46. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people .A. can't be lost in a new cityB. can't find their way in different countriesC. can learn about the culture of an unknown placeD. can spend the least time getting to another place47.
