[1]Oops! In your rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat, if you pick them up within 5 seconds of dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds are all it takes for foods to become contaminated with enough bacteria to make you sick.
[2]Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If we eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, we can become sick. One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Earlier this year, 370 people became sick after eating peanut butter that had been contaminated with Salmonella at the manufacturing factory. Salmonella are often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods carefully.
[3]Being a good housekeeper is another good way to prevent infection. If household surfaces aren’t washed thoroughly, they can support Salmonella for weeks. A team of scientists at Clemson University in South Carolina have tested the 5-second rule, using sandwich ingredients. First, they placed a known amount of Salmonella cells on three surfaces: wood, tile, and carpet. They then placed a slice of bread and a slice of bologna(博洛尼亚大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.
[4]So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast lands on the floor, throw it away. Stick a fresh slice of bread in the toaster. And this time, be careful not to drop it! What is the “5-second rule” mentioned in the first paragraph? (no more than 18 words)
——————————————————————————————————Why is it important for us to cook food carefully?(no more than 5 words)
——————————————————————————————————What advice is given to prevent infection in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
——————————————————————————————————Why did the scientists at Clemson University carry out that test? (no more than 15 words.)
——————————————————————————————————What is the author’s attitude towards the 5-second rule? (one word)

When knowing his son got a C grade in the maths exam, the father was proud and cheerful. This is the tear-jerking moment when a proud father is captured on camera celebrating his son's exam result.
After setting up the hidden camera, the boy calls his father to the kitchen, telling him in a whisper 'I've just got something from school; I need you to come and look at it.' His father, who can be heard shouting from elsewhere in the house, asks 'Has something happened?', to which the naughty teenager, Aria, replies 'Yes! It's really important'. As his nervous-looking father approaches, Aria says 'Come and have a chat with me. Just come in, and read that', he says while passing over a piece of paper displaying the result.
After seeing his son has achieved a C grade in the maths exam, the man asks 'Is that veracious?,' before bursting into tears of joy. The pair hug before the disbelieving dad asks again, 'Are you sure? They've not made a mistake? I can't believe it; I just can't believe it!'
A mere year before the video was filmed, the schoolboy received an F in the subject. He explained，'In England you need a C to basically do anything with your life. I've never been amazing academically and have struggled through school. Neither me or my dad or my teachers thought I was going to get my C, for me it was tough. When I told my Dad who means the world to me this was his reaction...Enjoy'.
Still feeling happy from the news, his delighted father tells him 'You're set for life! You're set for life!'. The teen is seen smiling into the camera at the end of the video, seemingly as thrilled with the result as his emotional father.Why does Aria call his father to the kitchen? (no more than 15 words)

[1]Psychiatrists(精神病专家)who work with older parents say that maturity(成熟) can be an advantage in child raising—older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy.
[2]Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, decreasing energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken fear. “Having late-life children often means parents, particularly fathers, end up retiring much later. For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.” says Brandy Gabrielle, an economics professor.
[3]Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can't get away from that.”
[4]Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists (治疗专家)who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Gals, a New York psychologist. But at the core(核心)of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their children,” she says.
[5]Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of pregnancy treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years — a sense of family. Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”
What is probably the older parents’ biggest fear? (No more than 10 words)

Why psychiatrists regard maturity as an advantage in child raising? (No more than 15 words)

There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."
Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people's needs, and it seems there is a volunteer group for everything. Some provide education, while others offer adventure. Many do both. For example, some volunteers provide emergency help after a catastrophic event or disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists search for ancient objects to help deepen knowledge of the past.
The volunteers also work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than two years have passed since a seven point zero earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Estimates gave numbers from ninety five thousand to more than three hundred thousand.
Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquake still live in temporary shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred Habitat volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.
Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example. Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She found a lot to do there. She could hardly believe how much garbage was ruining some of the area's most beautiful sights. Miss Underhill learned about _______________________ while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Miss Underhill says the work is very hard and the Indian media started calling her "Garbage Girl." But she says she was pleased with the name.What does the passage mainly talk about?

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 t0 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent t0 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (白治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)"This pattern of age segregation" refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves from
Besides changes in the workplace, are the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.
When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?
How do adolescent peer groups differ from childhood peer groups?

[1] People of all ages and races can serve as volunteers. They work in various organizations without pay. Volunteering improves your life and the lives of others. You can meet new people and make a positive difference in the world.
[2] Volunteers generally work with others either as part of a team completing a project or caring for other people such as patients in a nursing home or helping children through an organization such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Volunteers should be generally cheerful and easy to work with and have a positive attitude even if things are not satisfactory in their own lives.
[3] Some volunteers organize events or groups of people to work on various projects. Without their good organizational skills, these projects might not happen. For example, if you’re the Parent-Teacher Association President for your school, you will be responsible for organizing the individual committees in your school. If you have good organizational skills, volunteering will become less stressful and you can give back to your community in the way you intended.
[4] Volunteers have to be willing to devote a certain amount of hours each week or month depending on the situation. It is necessary for them to go through testing or training before they begin volunteering.

[5] Good volunteers see the good in others, whether it’s the people they’re working with or the people they’re serving.

At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people, and we have special toilets for them．We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours．

We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled．We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college．Parents don’t send them out．The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents，but we hire them even if they are not engineers．What kind of person was Partha?(No more than 10 words)

[1] Everyone knows how to spend money, but not many people know how to spend it wisely. When you learn to spend wisely, you are learning the art of saving money.
[2] Spending money wisely does not mean buying cheap goods. A pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars is probably better than a pair of shoes that costs twenty dollars. How do you know which pair of shoes is better? For one thing, you can consider how long the shoes are going to last. If the pair of twohundreddollar shoes can last (for) five years，the average cost of the shoes per year is just forty dollars. Besides, the pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars will be more comfortable than cheaper shoes. The pair of cheaper shoes may last only a few months and cause your legs to suffer. Why should you spend money buying pain and suffering? However, some shoes that last a very long time are very cheap. If you can find this kind of shoes, you are getting very good value for your money.
[3] When you spend money on junk food, you are using your money to buy sickness and early death. No matter how much the cost of the meal is, spending money on junk food is foolish. You will spend more money on medical services later on in life. Investing (投资) in your health means you can save money on medical costs. Many people, who live more than a hundred years old, live happily in the pink. They seldom suffer from serious illnesses. They are the ones who invest in their health and save money on medical costs.
[4] When you can treat any spending as an investment, that means you are spending money wisely. It will produce returns for you in the future. Whenever you need to buy something, please ask the question, “Is this an investment or just spending？”What's mainly talked about in the text? (within 6 words)

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us．Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks．The world has realized that we need the species，like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem．
Sharks，in particular，are“in’’these days．Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool．
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction(灭绝)-up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins．But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu．
In California，a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years．These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins．
Actually，stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products．These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos，besides killing marine life．
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys，killing animals is big business．The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a fall-scale war．The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming.
