Paparella first became aware of foster care (寄养中心) in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn’t work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that girl.
At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services in Akron, Ohio, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What do these young people need most ” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home!” say Paparella. The idea of moving into an apartment and not having a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on pulled at my heartstrings.
Paparella contacted her parents’ friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store, Chez-Del Interiors, offered free warehouse space and its delivery truck. Social workers provided delivery. In between lacrosse games and college applications, Paparella --with her dad’s help --added furniture delivery person to her résumé.
Watching the receiver’s faces when they receive a bed, a couch-whatever-would change her in a way. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dust and fingerprints. To think that this lamp which hadn’t been thought about in years now brought so much happiness to somebody was amazing.” Paparella says.
Today, Paparella has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults across six Ohio counties. As word has gotten out, Paparella has received donations from people who have bought new furniture and want to get rid of their old pieces. People who are moved, and people who have heard of her work on social networking sites. She’s convinced these contributions give the receivers hope and confidence.

B．She planned to take care of the children there.
C．She wanted to know the life of grow-ups there.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
28．What’s the purpose of the author’s research
A．To discover what luck means to people.
B．To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C．To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D．To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
29．Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment
A．There was too much information to be read in detail.
B．They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C．It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D．The words were too small to be noticed.
30．What leads to lucky people’s good fortune
A．Their ability to spot opportunities. B．Their ability to become relaxed.
C．Their ability to communicate. D．Their ability to make friends.
31．What’s the key message of the last paragraph
A．What lucky people are looking for.
B．How lucky people generate good luck.
C．What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D．How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.
D
“Federal weather forecasters are predicting a‘near normal’number of storms this hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November l. Between nine and 15 named storms are predicted to form in the Atlantic this year, ”said Neil Jacobs, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“Of those, between four and eight are predicted to become full-blown hurricanes, with winds capable of removing shingles（木瓦）and taking down power lines, ” Jacobs said Thursday at a news conference to announce the forecast. “And between two and four storms are expected to strengthen into so-called major hurricanes, with winds strong enough to break trees and tear off roofs.”
Gerry Bell, the lead hurricane forecaster at NOAA, said people shouldn't be fooled into satisfactions by the word “normal”.“Nine to fifteen named storms are a lot, ”he said. “Two to four major hurricanes are a lot. So the key message is：We're expecting a near-normal season, but you need to start getting prepared for the hurricane season now.”
This year's outlook is shaped by two competing meteorological （气象学的）phenomena. On one hand, the climate pattern known as El Nino （厄尔尼诺）is happening this year, which generally prevents hurricane activity in the Atlantic. At the same time, the water at the surface of the tropical Atlantic and the Caribbean is warmer than usual. That warm water acts like an engine for hurricanes, fueling their creation and making them bigger and wetter.
While ocean temperatures change under normal climate conditions, global warming is also causing ocean waters to get hotter. The overall global surface temperature has already risen more than 1 degree Fahrenheit compared with pre-industrial times. That suggests increasing hurricane risk, as big and wet storms become more likely.
32．How many storms may take place at least this year？
A．4. B．9. C．15. D．24.
33．What can be the effect of the full-blown hurricanes？
A．Blowing off shingles. B．Destroying houses.
C．Causing earthquakes. D．Taking down dams.
34．What can we know from Gerry Bell's words？
A．People were often fooled by the NOAA． B．There will be less major hurricanes this year.
C．There has been a near-normal hurricane season. D．People should prepare for the coming hurricanes.
35．What is the direct cause of hurricanes？
A．El Nino phenomenon. B．The increasing population.
C．Environmental pollution. D．Warmer water of the ocean.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua. Learning that you are picking out the top ten tourist attractions, I am writing to recommend you to take Lijiang into consideration. The reasons are as follows.
Located in the southwest of China, Ljiang is a fantastic city. It is famous for its wonderful scenery and its unique culture. Firstly, the clear streams and splendid snowy mountains make Lijang a popular city to live in. In addition, it is also an ancient town where many valuable cultural relics are well preserved. More importantly, what attracts tourists most is its Naxi culture.
In a word, Lijiang is considered as a fairyland. I hope you can make a trip to the city.
Yours,
Li Hua

原文：W: Look at the weather outside. This always happens when we plan a trip.
M: Let’s go anyway. The mountains are lovely in the snow. In fact, it’s better than seeing them in the sun.
W: But the mountain rivers could flood if it turns to rain.
Text 2
原文：W: How was your appointment, dear
M: Well, unfortunately, the doctor thinks I need to start wearing glasses.
W: That’s no surprise. You hold the newspaper right up to your face when you read it. I’ve been saying that you need glasses for years!
Text 3
原文：M: If I were you, I’d just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a good choice, too.
W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work. I’m pressed for time, you know.
Text 4
原文：W: I’m so looking forward to going on holiday and taking photos, but I need to get a new passport first.
M: It’s very easy. There is an online form that you can fill out and then upload your own photograph.
Text 5
原文：M: Yes, we scored. That means our team is through to the final.
W: It’s sad for the other team, though. They played so hard. I bet they’re really tired.
M: Never mind about that. Football is all about winning.
Text 6
原文：M: Ah, you’re back. How was your business trip
W: It was great. I think we’ll get some new orders.
M: Excellent.
W: How did things go for you yesterday
M: The exam Oh, it was fine, although I was very tired.
W: You should get to bed earlier every night. 11:00 p.m. is too late. 10:00 p.m. or even 9:00 p.m. would be better.
M: I know. I should do it, especially on exam days, but I always seem to end up going to bed at 11:00 p.m.
W: Maybe you should set an alarm clock for the time you have to go to bed.
M: That’s not a bad idea.
Text 7
原文：W: Roy, you are at least 10 pounds heavier than last month. I thought you said you were going to start working out.

W: Well, if you keep this up, pretty soon you won’t be able to fit into your pants!
M: Ha ha. Very funny.
W: I’m not kidding! Everyone has time to be healthy. You’re just inventing reasons to explain why you’re lazy.

M: Good morning, Lisa. Fred is getting over the flu actually. I have sent his work to him through his email. I think he actually is doing better work at home, even with his two kids around.
W: Oh, no! It’s wise for him to call out sick then. It would be terrible if everyone in the office got sick too. If my daughter Hannah gets ill then my husband will need to stay home with her, since I cannot take off so many days. How are your kids
M: The kids are good. Karen is home with them while she is still on her work break from having the baby. Graham and Sarah are both starting piano lessons next week, though.
W: I’m sure Karen has her hands full at home with the twins and the baby Peter.
M: Oh, yes. Even though she is tired, she still smiles so wide when I come home. I am envious that she gets to spend so much time with kids. I always make sure our weekends are full of fun activities I can do with them, because by the time I get home they are almost ready for bed. Usually we just watch a movie together till they fall asleep.
