[1] Fishing is probably the world‟s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment , bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near—except for the smell of the bait !
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken form rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.

My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I‟d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye：NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.
I couldn‟t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon, raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She‟d tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn‟t know about them. That‟s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares. My answer is simple because we‟re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what‟s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

“Let‟s Talk”: The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people: street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment; she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually（相互地）beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also to provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor,, Podell believes that talking things out is important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply tries to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.
81. In what way was Podell different from other people in the park?
(No more than 6 words) (2 marks) ___________________________________________________________________________ 82. What do people in need expect Podell to do?
(No more than 10 words) (3 marks) ___________________________________________________________________________ 83. According to Podell, what should people do when making decision?
(No more than 6 words) (2 marks) ___________________________________________________________________________ 84. How would Podell promote her project in New York?

A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards—and she has no plans
to retire.
Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953—when the National Health Service （NHS）was just five years old—and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.
The diabetes（糖尿病）specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts（轮班）each week.
Mrs. Reid said, ”Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job. Working for the NHS has been my life. I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.”
Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals—including one in Scotland.
Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40 years. She retrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease. She currently works at Southend Hospital, Essex.
Over the last 60 years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.
Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts. She said, “There‟s lots of things I would say to the government. If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources（资源）, you can‟t do it without enough money. They shouldn‟t need the cuts that there are in the NHS. It‟s hard now because there‟s a shortage of staff.”
Jackie has lived alone in Grays, Essex, since her husband died three years ago.
The couple have two daughters Michelle, 50, and Karen, 54.
Jackie added, “My youngest daughter worries about me—she doesn‟t think I should work as much as I do. I constantly say …don‟t worry about me, I‟m fine‟, but she never believes me. I don‟t like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever.”
56. In which year was the NHS set up? (within 2 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does Jackie think of nursing? (within 6 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 58. When did Jackie retrain in the field of diabetes? (within 6words)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does Jackie wish the government to do? (within 7 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 60. Why does Jackie‟s daughter worry about her? (within 8 words)
