Passage B
The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who __________.
A. has made a big fortune in life B. can afford to travel to different places
C. has a strong wish to be successful D. is willing to help those in need without pay
2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer ____________.
A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high school
C. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital
3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B. She was asked by Mother Teresa to do so.
C. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
D. She had already had some experience.
4. What is Tracy’s “new idea”(Paragraph 2)of being a volunteer
A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Doing simple things to help the poor.
C. Working in Mother Teresa’s home. D. Improving oneself through helping others.
Passage C
.The waterfall was coming. Curtis Newman, his wife Krystal Ramirez and his 13-year-old son Hunter thought they would jump out of their small boat into the water. But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually controllable waterfall into something fierce (凶猛的). As they approached the waterfall late on the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Newman could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrow canyon (峡谷) that they were in trouble. There was no way they’d be able to move down the rocks on either side of the waterfall.
There was no cell phone service, and they hadn’t seen a single person in the past three days. As he wondered what to do, Newman heard voices coming from the other side of the waterfall. “We have to get those people a message, he thought. He picked up a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve” Help on it. He tried tossing it over the waterfall, but it floated away in the wrong directions. Krystal reminded him that he had a pen and paper in his backpack (背包). Newman knew it was an impossible attempt, but he wrote “6-15-19 We are stuck here @ the waterfall. Help please” and put the note into a bottle. This time, he threw the bottle over the waterfall successfully.
It took them about 30 minutes to go back to the beach where they had lunch. By about 10: 30 pm, they pulled out their sleeping bags. Then, just after midnight, they heard a helicopter hovering (盘旋) above them. Newman turned to his son and started shaking him.
They got rescued. “The rescuers said that they had been performing these kinds of rescues, but no one had ever been rescued by a message in a bottle,” Newman said.

Passage D
I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group—we'll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.（营养）”
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval(认可). I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction(使人消遣的事) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I'd been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting(针织). I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I'm in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment.
The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends' kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
It is not an addiction any more

4. What is the author's attitude towards social media

Passage E
It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer vacation is over.
Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.
When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over the classroom rules and school rules so you will know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you will be glad about what you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations or a pair of sneakers. It can also make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders，and whatever else you need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

Passage H
I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing (观光) that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. The next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o'clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing！” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I can't forget forever.
