AYesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic(具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!21. The author set the starting date on December 15 to .A. help the charityB. remember his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish of his mum22. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money， .A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action23. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because.A. he didn’t need others’ helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money24. We can infer that the author was inspired by .A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donations D .human’s good natureBTravel UnaccompaniedNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind t o new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countriescovering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said,“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”25. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.26. Traveling alone is challenging because__________.A. it will finally build your characterB. you have to make things on your ownC. you depend on yourself whatever happensD. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others27. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started traveling at an early age.B. He was once shot in the arm.C. His website inspires others a lot.D. He used to work as a salesman.CHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will get you a long-term hurt regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas：1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating(孤立的)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3)Do you enjoy working with computers?I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4)What type of work environment do you enjoy?This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5)How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A. You may ignore your skills when you select job.B. Job skills are the most important things when you select job.C. There are more important things than job skills when you select job.D. Selecting job, you should assess your skills and match them with the position.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.30. Apart from skills, stability, motivation, and environment, what else area do you need to consider in a job search ?A. DesignB. ChangesC. CooperationD. Hobbies31 . What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and JobsDPolluted airborne particles(大气悬浮颗粒) kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization.That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories－or even the jammed roadways of modern cities－are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO.What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11,000 people a day? Stoves. “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.”says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013.Not all stoves cause this kind of harm. The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke fromescaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable.Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire－usually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.32. According to Kirk Smith's research,________.A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadaysB. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerousC. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmfulD. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should33. What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?A. Solid fuels.B. Coal stoves.C. Poor gas.D. Cooking smoke.34. The underlined word “ventilation” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A. airingB. cookingC. burningD. cooling35. The author intends to tell people ________.A. how to avoid polluted air in their homesB. to stop cooking in the household kitchenC. to guard against household pollution from cookingD. how to prevent childhood lung diseases in household第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
