Want to live and learn on organic farms worldwide? Want to share your life with other like-minded people?
Traveling around the world and working the land are the principles behind WWOOF-World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Amanda Pearson, administrator of WWOOF, tells us more about the life-changing influence a WWOOF experience can have for all involved.
1. What is your organization's mission?
WWOOF is a worldwide movement linking volunteers with organic farmers and growers
to promote cultural and educational experiences based on trust and non-monetary (非货币的)exchange, thereby helping to build a sustainable, global community. WWOOF is an exchange—WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and learning opportunities to people who are interested in helping out.
2. What mak es you guys different from the rest?
We were first! When Sue Coppard founded WWOOF in 1971, the concept of non-monetary exchange was very new. A number of organizations offer similar deals these days-but we are the only one that specializes in organic growing and farming-and the only one with people on the ground in each of the countries where we have members.
3. How can people get involved?
You can join WWOOF as a volunteer or a host. Volunteers need to think about where in the world they would like to WWOOF (we encourage local WWOOFing in particu lar) and join the relevant national WWOOF group. A one-year membership of around US$ 40 gives you unlimited access to our list of hosts in a particular country. Then, the rest is up to you. WWOOFing is very flexible and suits the independent traveler. For more information and to start an amazing adventure, check out /#wwoof.
Anyone who has some land on which they produce food following organic principles and who wants some help can become a host. You need to register with WWOOF in the country in which your land can be found.
21. What should WWOOF hosts provide for volunteers?
A. Nutritious breakfast and a big office.
B. Food, rooms and learning opportunities.
C. Free drinks for a whole day and farming tools.
D. Organic fruit and vegetables from their farm.
22. We can learn from the text that WWOOF .
A. provides job opportunities for farm workers
B. was founded by Sue Coppard 30 years ag o
C. connects volunteers interested in farming with farmers
D. helps poor people in remote areas all over the world
23. What should you do to be a member of WWOOF?
A. You need to pay the membership fee to be a volunteer.
B. You can sign up on its website for free.
C. You can register as a host by paying US $ 40 to the organization.
D. You must make sure you have a partner to do the volunteering with you.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his family immigrated to New York, America, from Dublin, Ireland, in 1848 when he was just six months old. As he grew up, Augustus liked racing his friends around the block, buying candies at the store, especially drawing—drawing pictures of the shoemakers at his father's shoe shop. At the age of 13, his father told him it was time to go to work. Augustus replied, "I should like it if I could do something which would help me to be an artist. " He began as an apprentice to a cameo cutter out of stone and shell, and carved cameos of people, lions, and even the head of Hercules from Greek mythology, when the Civil War had just begun.
At 19, with his earnings and his parents' support, he travelled to Paris and Rome for further training and artistic study. Before he left, he drew a portrait of his mother in pencil and sculpted a small bust(半身像) of his father out of clay. Then, 22-year-old Augustus opened an art studio in Rome and worked on his first life-sized sculpture, called Hiawatha. An art patron was impressed with this sculpture and promised to help Augustus "until your genius and labors shall have met with the reward to which I feel they are entitled".
In 1876, Augustus was chosen to design a monument to the Civil War hero Admiral David Farragut of the U. S. Navy. Completed five years later, when he was 33, his first major sculpture for the U. S. was unveiled at Madison Square in New York City, the sculptor's boyhood home. One art critic called it "the best monument of the kind the city has to show". Then the giant Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago in a setting by architect White, 1884-1887, was considered the finest portrait statue in the U. S.
However, in 1900, aged 52, his doctors told him he had cancer. Even though he was often ill, he continued to work at his home and studio in Cornish, New Hampshire. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt requested that Augustus redesign American coins—to convey the strength of the nation. Augustus made lifelike pencil sketches of his coin designs. Yet, Augustus died in August 1907, two months before his l0-dollar and 20-dollar gold coins were issued. Augustus Saint-Gaudens had fulfi lled his dream-and more! He was one of the greatest American sculptors not only of his day but also of all time.
24. What did Augustus like doing as a child?
A. He enjoyed selling candies at the store.
B. He enjoyed chasing after his friends at school.
C. He liked drawing pictures of his father's workers.
D. He liked going to work as a shoemaker in his father's shop.
25. How did Augustus become a sculptor?
A. He received sponsorship from an art critic.
B. He sculpted a small bust of his parents out of clay.
C. He opened an art studio in Rome and worked on Hiawatha.
D. He learned hard as an apprentice and carved many nice works.
26.When did Roosevelt request Augustus to redesign American coins?
A. At his age of 33.
B. At his age of 57.
C. At his age of 52.
D. At his age of 59.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of the Civil War.
B. The remarkable sculptor's life.
C. The comments on Augustus' works.
D. The outstanding sculptor's masterpieces.
C
Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying
is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological(病态的) lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients deceive other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statemen ts and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.
28. The underlined word "reprimand" in Paragraph l means " ".
A. scold
B. fine
C. praise
D. disappoint
29. What's the major reason for teenagers' lying behavior?
A. Protecting themselves.
B. Pleasing themselves.
C. Avoiding embarrassment.
D. Becoming popular.
30. Pathological lying is a disease because the patients .
A. lose interest in everything
B. are critical about themselves
C. can't help lying all the time
D. have the urge to please others
31. The writer addresses pathological lying by analyzing .
A. some typical cases
B. its causes and development
C. its unexplained pleasure
D. the difficulty of its treatment

Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and Space X, Elon Musk may have a little more time on his hands, as he’s leaving his position on the board o f the Open AI, according to a blog post.
The departure is likely the result of Tesla’s moving into the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which he said in 2017 would be the “best in the world” and would even be able to “predict your destination.” Musk will continue to “donate and advise the organization,” Open AI said in a blog post on Feb. 20, adding that “As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will avoid a potential future conflict for Elon.”
Musk and Y Combiner CEO Sam Altman co-founded the nonprofit enterprise in December 2015, its mission is to develop safe artificial general intelligence and ensure those developments are made public. Open AI researchers published a paper on the site arXiv. org, detailing the possible secure threats t hat come with “malicious” A I. In fact, Musk has heard of the “evil AI” alarm several ti mes. On Aug. 11, 2017, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a bigger threat to humanity, and he told a gathering of state governors that the government needs to regulate AI before robots start “killing people.”
Musk’s departure from the Open AI board could mean big things for Tesla. As Elon Goodbye, a financial reporter, noted on Futurism, the move “could signal that Tesla is more deeply committed to their own A I projects than we thought.” He added, “Those who have had their ears to any rumors that Tesla is ready to deliver vehicles capable
of Level 5 autonomy could take this new Open AI development as a sign that the company is inching closer to that unapproacha ble goal.” No company has reached that level of autonomy, which means that a driverless car could navigate any road under any conditions and that all the human “driver” would need to do is to input a destination. 32.Why does Elon Musk leave his position?
A. To create safer AI. B. To build the powerful Internet.
C. To develop social communication. D. To avoid a possible conflict with Tesla.
33.What is the Elon Musk’s attitude towards the AI?
A. Ambiguous. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Sympathetic. 34.What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Advanced. B. Unpopular. C. Poisonous. D. Traditional. 35.What can we infer from Elon Goodbye’ comments?
A. Level 5 autonomy is impossible.
B. The rumors about Tesla is meaningless.
C. He has no confidence in Open AI.
D. Level 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.

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。
There is no easier way to prove that you're a capable person than by making foods that seem store-bought and expensive. You can handcraft your own by mixing flour, water, olive oil, and salt into a dough, rolling it thin, cutting it into squares, and then baking them briefly. 36
At a dinner party, when one of the hosts announced that she was going to whip up some ice cream for dessert, I was skeptical. 37 But my friend filled a big bag with ice and salt, and a small bag with a mixture of half-and-half, vanilla juice, and sugar. She placed the smaller bag in the bigger bag, sealing it shut. Then she handed the bag- within-a-bag to her husband who shook it vigorously. 38 By God, it was ice cream.
39 If you simply combine and freeze ice-cream ingredients, the water in the mixture will form into ice crystals. Plenty of people have invented ways of getting around using a machine; plenty of people made ice cream before the machine was invented.
A cookbook author suggests putting your base straight into the freezer and then taking it out, every thirty minutes or so, for a good stir.
The other night, I tried making it using the bag method. After my gallon-size ziplock sprang a leak, spraying salt water across the floor, I switched to using a big glass jar, tucking the cream-filled bag inside it. After fifteen minutes of shaking, I opened the jar. 40 Do try this at home, as a party trick on a hot summer night.
A. Making ice cream typically involves some equipment.
B. No matter how you make ice cream, the key is to keep the mixture moving.
C. You will undoubtedly be employed by a famous restaurant.
D. After a few more minutes of shaking, the substance inside was considerably softer.
E. If the substance had been softer, it would have been like what I'd eaten at a store.
F. You could probably convince your guests you got them at a famous restaurant.
G. Several minutes passed, and the substance became solid.

There is absolutely no need to fear. Please make your way out by Exit One. Cross the street and wait outside the supermarket at the corner. Leave your seats row by row as directed by our attendants and give necessary help to anyone around you, especially elderly and disabled people. If you have children with you, make sure you are not separated from them. Hold small children firmly by the hand. If you see any doubtful objects, do not touch them but inform one of our attendants a s you leave. Do remember to put out cigarettes. We appreciate your cooperation and hope you will be able to return to your seats shortly and enjoy the last act of the play.。
