South Baltimore is often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of it.There was a mass shooting this past July,and another in early September.
“People think Curtis Bay is a dangerous place.It's not.It's just we're surrounded by dangerous things,”says Taysia Thompson,17.
Taysia,is one of the Free Your Voice members,a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood:air pollution and climate change.Now,the focus of their movement is the mountains of coal.Coal releases a fine,black dust small enough to get into people's lungs.It makes respiratory ( 呼吸的) diseases worse,or can even cause disease and premature death.And there are the greenhouse gas emissions after the coal is burned.
The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent:the massive goods transportation company CSX, which transported more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore in 2021.The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX nceds to operate,or at least require the company to enclose all the coal,or at the very least put water onto all of it so there's less dust blowing around.
This past summer,Taysia and three other students spent their time gathering evidence to try and get the coal pollution out of their neighborhood.They used sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust is from coal.They are also sending dust samples to a scientist in California, who uses an electron microscope to compare the dust that's in this neighborhood to samples from the piles of coal at the terminal in South Baltimore to see if it matches.
The students now have support from their community.But the responses from officials have not been very satisfying.“Everyone is just breathing the air.And we will keep fighting.”says Taysia.
24.Why do the teens of Free Your Voice take CSX as an opponent
A.To cure lung diseases. B.To tackle air pollution.
C.To resist mass shootings. D.To cut premature death rate.
25.What do the teens of Free Your Voice hope to achieve
A.Scientists will examine the dust samples.
B.Officials will refuse CSX the operation permit.
C.State regulators will keep fighting against pollution.
D.Locals in Curtis Bay will clear the mountains of coal away.
26.What can be inferred about the teens'fight
A.It isn't all plain sailing. B.It will definitely end in victory.
C.The teens lack solid evidence. D.The teens work on it all by themselves.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Tourists Avoiding Dangerous South Baltimore
B.Teens Gaining Support in Environmental Protection
C.Student Activists Pushing back against Big Polluter
D.17-year-old Girl Combating Coal Pollution in Neighborhood
C
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach.But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves.It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp(活动梯)that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea,the person can either remain in the chair,enjoying the water,or go for a swim.The chair is operated by remote control.When the person is ready to get out of the water,the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp.It's even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece.The idea for it came when one of the inventors,Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair.The friend said he enjoyed the sea,but didn't like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a"sack of potatoes".Mr.Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water.He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system.In time,they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac.The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out.The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer,the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece,Cyprus,Italy,and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac,people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea.
28.Which of the following can best describe Seatrac
A.Practical and user-friendly. B.Automatic and life-saving.
C.Flexible and energy-efficient. D.Stylish and smooth-running.
29.Why did Mr.Fotiou design Seatrac
A.He desired to make a profit from it.
B.He longed to form a wheelchair company.
C.He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea.
D.He hoped to save his friend from others' ridiculing.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The advantages of the Seatrac system. B.The success of the TOBEA company.
C.The efforts of the TOBEA company. D.The application of the Seatrac system.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To encourage care for disabled people. B.To explain the principle of the Seatrac system.
C.To provide strategies for building a wheelchair. D.To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users.
D
Lifestyle creep,sometimes called lifestyle inflation,is when living expenses and non-essential expenditures grow with income.In bad cases of lifestyle creep,this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners,but anyone can fall into this trap.Who hasn't justified eating out more often every week after receiving a l or 2 percent raise The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist.If you're making enough money to afford a larger apartment,shouldn't you move to a larger apartment
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing,but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts,it can be a major financial risk.As Katie Waters,a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial,says,“Something's got to give.”
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income.If you can,head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately.This can be to pay down debt,save for a house,or add to retirement accounts.This way,you won't be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity.If you fear you've already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level,you can still turn your spending around.If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card,Waters recommends rearranging so only routine,fixed monthly expenses are on the card.“The monthly variable costs—food,clothing,personal care,purchases for the home,the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.”Waters says,“Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”
“As with all things,the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,”Waters says.“Have fun along the way,but don't let the tail wag the dog.”
32.What can we learn about lifestyle creep
A.It contributes to a pay raise.
B.It refers to a high living standard.
C.It sometimes affects a person's savings.
D.It only traps people with a high income.
33.Why does the author quote Katie Waters' words in paragraph 3
A.To list the bad consequences of lifestyle creep.
B.To stress the importance of giving in one's life.
C.To show that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D.To support that lifestyle creep can cause financial problems.
34.What can be done to avoid lifestyle creep
A.Put all the expenses on a credit card.
B.Save the bonus money for a non-necessity.
C.Increase the monthly costs on food and clothing.
D.Set different checking accounts for specific purposes.
35.What do the underlined words "don't let the tail wag the dog"in the last paragraph mean
A.Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
B.Don't put the cart before the horse.
C.Don't do one thing under the cover of another.
D.Don't count the chicken before they are hatched.

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。
Getting negative feedback never feels good.In fact,it pretty much always sucks.Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve.Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively,leading to positive change.
36 Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly,but it's important to remain as professional as possible in the moment.Even when your criticizer is factually wrong,the response"You're wrong!"won't ever be helpful.The key is to listen without planning your reply.Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.
Recognize the good intentions.Remember,the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success.People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don't really care about you._37
Don't let it harm your confidence.Whatever you do,don't allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem. 38Whatever went wrong won't define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage.
Practice self-affirmation. 39 It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence.For example,you could say:"Yes,my team thinks I'm a micromanager, but I can work on that.I am also a nice partner,committed volunteer and talented singer."
Set actionable goals.It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific,actionable goals. 40 Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals.With this,you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals.
Though negative feedback may be disheartening,take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself.
A.Avoid reacting defensively.
B.Don't take the feedback personally.
C.These can feel easier to work with and give you direction.
D.You don't have to apply every piece of feedback you receive.
E.Negative feedback can sometimes make you feel like a failure.
F.It's almost impossible to consistently do everything right all the time.
G.So instead of reacting negatively,thank those caring about you to give you honest feedback.

Green Thumb
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants.Dig a hole.Put in a seed.Cover it with dirt.Water it. Wait.“See,Laynie,”I explained,“a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed.All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can so she could "help"me in the garden.One day,after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot.I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ”I asked.
“Yes,”she said.“I'm growing a pencil.My purple pencil got too small,so I planted it.”
“What But,Laynie—”
I should have explained things right then,but I just muttered,“Uh.…I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea.I dug up Laynie's pencil and “planted"a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it."My pencil grew!"she shouted.
A few days later,Laynie was watering on the same spot.Two days later,new crayons sticking their point y little heads out,thanks to me.Laynie jumped up and down and yelled,"They look like flowers!"She"picked" them and ran into the house.
Next,Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one,a soup spoon from a teaspoon,and a hand mirror from a piece of glass.When she claimed that she had grown these things,I just kept my mouth shut!Actually,it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie's seeds.And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again,so I knew she'd just planted something.My heart dropped to my feet when she asked,"How long does it take to grow a goldfish,Brad "I couldn't speak.
“Not long,I bet!”said Laynie.She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly.Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.

I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.Sighing,I decided there
was only one right thing to do.I got up,took some things from the shed,and went inside.When l displayed the short pencil,the crayons,the teaspoon.…on the table, Laynie was dumbfounded.Then 1 explained how I'd dug up and replaced all of her things."No!"she screamed,red-faced.With a big shove,she knocked everything off the table."Laynic,"I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn't going to grow either.”At this,she burst into tears and ran off. Picrced to the heart with guilt,1 felt like a worm.
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized.Laynie turned her face away.I went on,"See, you can grow things from seeds-not from pencils or..dead things.OK "“Just seeds "she asked,face still tear-stained.I nodded.She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something.Later that day,after we had a funeral for Molly,I saw Laynie patting down some dirt on Molly's grave.My hearn tightened."I'm growing some forget-me-nots,so Molly won't forget me,"she said.This time,I thought "the green thumb"would have a real harvest.

W:Well,when I was driving in the mountain road,I took a wrong turning and got completcly lost(13)
M:Was that frightening
W:Yeah.While I was trying to decide how to get back to the main road,some heavy snow
Started coming down.
M:I was quite certain it wouldn't last long.It was March in Italy.
W:I wasn't worried at first,but I didn't have much petrol left so I switched off the engine
(14).I tried to phone for help but couldn't get through.
M:How did you stay warm With the car heater
W:That meant having the engine on so l only used it a bit.Instead I got all of my jumpers and trousers from my suitcase and wore them all night(15).I was still frozen,though, and wished I had some coffee or tea with me.
M:So you spent the whole night inside the car
W:Yes.I managed to contact the emergency services finally.They knew my location from my phone signal.They'd called to ask if I needed an ambulance and luckily i didn't need it, so they just cleared the snow and led me along the road back to the main road(16).

M:Continuing our broadcast of public service announcements,Worldwide Helpers announces upcoming openings for a number of volunteer worker positions.All applicants must meet the following requirements.
First of all,applicants must be over 18 years of age(17).The company apologizes,but there can be no exceptions to this rule.Second,people interested in these positions may not have police records.A parking ticket and things like that are,of course,no problem.The employer will,of course,check with the police to confirm your clean record.
In addition,applicants must supply references from past or present employers or teachers along with their recent CV(18).These references must be relevant to the applicant's work habits(19).Remember,these are references from employers or teachers.A note from your dear old Mum won't do.Worldwide Helpers assures me that they will contact these refercnccs to confirm they are genuine.
Although all positions are volunteers,the employer will cover some of your expenses.For example,they will pay for transportation to and from the job site.Aside from that,the cost of phone calls is covered.But I'm sorry to say that you have to have dinner at your own home (20).

South Baltimore is often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of it.There was a mass shooting this past July,and another in early September.
“People think Curtis Bay is a dangerous place.It's not.It's just we're surrounded by dangerous things,”says Taysia Thompson,17.
Taysia,is one of the Free Your Voice members,a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood:air pollution and climate change.Now,the focus of their movement is the mountains of coal.Coal releases a fine,black dust small enough to get into people's lungs.It makes respiratory ( 呼吸的) diseases worse,or can even cause disease and premature death.And there are the greenhouse gas emissions after the coal is burned.
The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent:the massive goods transportation company CSX, which transported more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore in 2021.The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX nceds to operate,or at least require the company to enclose all the coal,or at the very least put water onto all of it so there's less dust blowing around.
This past summer,Taysia and three other students spent their time gathering evidence to try and get the coal pollution out of their neighborhood.They used sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust is from coal.They are also sending dust samples to a scientist in California, who uses an electron microscope to compare the dust that's in this neighborhood to samples from the piles of coal at the terminal in South Baltimore to see if it matches.
The students now have support from their community.But the responses from officials have not been very satisfying.“Everyone is just breathing the air.And we will keep fighting.”says Taysia.
24.Why do the teens of Free Your Voice take CSX as an opponent
A.To cure lung diseases. B.To tackle air pollution.
C.To resist mass shootings. D.To cut premature death rate.
25.What do the teens of Free Your Voice hope to achieve
A.Scientists will examine the dust samples.
B.Officials will refuse CSX the operation permit.
C.State regulators will keep fighting against pollution.
D.Locals in Curtis Bay will clear the mountains of coal away.
26.What can be inferred about the teens'fight
A.It isn't all plain sailing. B.It will definitely end in victory.
C.The teens lack solid evidence. D.The teens work on it all by themselves.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Tourists Avoiding Dangerous South Baltimore
B.Teens Gaining Support in Environmental Protection
C.Student Activists Pushing back against Big Polluter
D.17-year-old Girl Combating Coal Pollution in Neighborhood
C
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach.But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves.It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp(活动梯)that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea,the person can either remain in the chair,enjoying the water,or go for a swim.The chair is operated by remote control.When the person is ready to get out of the water,the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp.It's even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece.The idea for it came when one of the inventors,Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair.The friend said he enjoyed the sea,but didn't like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a"sack of potatoes".Mr.Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water.He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system.In time,they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac.The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out.The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer,the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece,Cyprus,Italy,and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac,people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea.
28.Which of the following can best describe Seatrac
A.Practical and user-friendly. B.Automatic and life-saving.
C.Flexible and energy-efficient. D.Stylish and smooth-running.
29.Why did Mr.Fotiou design Seatrac
A.He desired to make a profit from it.
B.He longed to form a wheelchair company.
C.He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea.
D.He hoped to save his friend from others' ridiculing.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The advantages of the Seatrac system. B.The success of the TOBEA company.
C.The efforts of the TOBEA company. D.The application of the Seatrac system.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To encourage care for disabled people. B.To explain the principle of the Seatrac system.
C.To provide strategies for building a wheelchair. D.To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users.
D
Lifestyle creep,sometimes called lifestyle inflation,is when living expenses and non-essential expenditures grow with income.In bad cases of lifestyle creep,this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners,but anyone can fall into this trap.Who hasn't justified eating out more often every week after receiving a l or 2 percent raise The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist.If you're making enough money to afford a larger apartment,shouldn't you move to a larger apartment
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing,but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts,it can be a major financial risk.As Katie Waters,a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial,says,“Something's got to give.”
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income.If you can,head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately.This can be to pay down debt,save for a house,or add to retirement accounts.This way,you won't be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity.If you fear you've already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level,you can still turn your spending around.If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card,Waters recommends rearranging so only routine,fixed monthly expenses are on the card.“The monthly variable costs—food,clothing,personal care,purchases for the home,the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.”Waters says,“Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”
“As with all things,the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,”Waters says.“Have fun along the way,but don't let the tail wag the dog.”
32.What can we learn about lifestyle creep
A.It contributes to a pay raise.
B.It refers to a high living standard.
C.It sometimes affects a person's savings.
D.It only traps people with a high income.
33.Why does the author quote Katie Waters' words in paragraph 3
A.To list the bad consequences of lifestyle creep.
B.To stress the importance of giving in one's life.
C.To show that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D.To support that lifestyle creep can cause financial problems.
34.What can be done to avoid lifestyle creep
A.Put all the expenses on a credit card.
B.Save the bonus money for a non-necessity.
C.Increase the monthly costs on food and clothing.
D.Set different checking accounts for specific purposes.
35.What do the underlined words "don't let the tail wag the dog"in the last paragraph mean
A.Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
B.Don't put the cart before the horse.
C.Don't do one thing under the cover of another.
D.Don't count the chicken before they are hatched.

Getting negative feedback never feels good.In fact,it pretty much always sucks.Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve.Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively,leading to positive change.
36 Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly,but it's important to remain as professional as possible in the moment.Even when your criticizer is factually wrong,the response"You're wrong!"won't ever be helpful.The key is to listen without planning your reply.Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.
Recognize the good intentions.Remember,the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success.People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don't really care about you._37
Don't let it harm your confidence.Whatever you do,don't allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem. 38Whatever went wrong won't define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage.
Practice self-affirmation. 39 It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence.For example,you could say:"Yes,my team thinks I'm a micromanager, but I can work on that.I am also a nice partner,committed volunteer and talented singer."
Set actionable goals.It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific,actionable goals. 40 Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals.With this,you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals.
Though negative feedback may be disheartening,take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself.
A.Avoid reacting defensively.
B.Don't take the feedback personally.
C.These can feel easier to work with and give you direction.
D.You don't have to apply every piece of feedback you receive.
E.Negative feedback can sometimes make you feel like a failure.
F.It's almost impossible to consistently do everything right all the time.
G.So instead of reacting negatively,thank those caring about you to give you honest feedback.

Green Thumb
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants.Dig a hole.Put in a seed.Cover it with dirt.Water it. Wait.“See,Laynie,”I explained,“a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed.All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can so she could "help"me in the garden.One day,after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot.I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ”I asked.
“Yes,”she said.“I'm growing a pencil.My purple pencil got too small,so I planted it.”
“What But,Laynie—”
I should have explained things right then,but I just muttered,“Uh.…I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea.I dug up Laynie's pencil and “planted"a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it."My pencil grew!"she shouted.
A few days later,Laynie was watering on the same spot.Two days later,new crayons sticking their point y little heads out,thanks to me.Laynie jumped up and down and yelled,"They look like flowers!"She"picked" them and ran into the house.
Next,Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one,a soup spoon from a teaspoon,and a hand mirror from a piece of glass.When she claimed that she had grown these things,I just kept my mouth shut!Actually,it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie's seeds.And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again,so I knew she'd just planted something.My heart dropped to my feet when she asked,"How long does it take to grow a goldfish,Brad "I couldn't speak.
“Not long,I bet!”said Laynie.She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly.Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.

I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.Sighing,I decided there
was only one right thing to do.I got up,took some things from the shed,and went inside.When l displayed the short pencil,the crayons,the teaspoon.…on the table, Laynie was dumbfounded.Then 1 explained how I'd dug up and replaced all of her things."No!"she screamed,red-faced.With a big shove,she knocked everything off the table."Laynic,"I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn't going to grow either.”At this,she burst into tears and ran off. Picrced to the heart with guilt,1 felt like a worm.
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized.Laynie turned her face away.I went on,"See, you can grow things from seeds-not from pencils or..dead things.OK "“Just seeds "she asked,face still tear-stained.I nodded.She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something.Later that day,after we had a funeral for Molly,I saw Laynie patting down some dirt on Molly's grave.My hearn tightened."I'm growing some forget-me-nots,so Molly won't forget me,"she said.This time,I thought "the green thumb"would have a real harvest.

M:So Olivia,tell us how that happened.
W:Well,when I was driving in the mountain road,I took a wrong turning and got completcly lost(13)
M:Was that frightening
W:Yeah.While I was trying to decide how to get back to the main road,some heavy snow
Started coming down.
M:I was quite certain it wouldn't last long.It was March in Italy.
W:I wasn't worried at first,but I didn't have much petrol left so I switched off the engine
(14).I tried to phone for help but couldn't get through.
M:How did you stay warm With the car heater
W:That meant having the engine on so l only used it a bit.Instead I got all of my jumpers and trousers from my suitcase and wore them all night(15).I was still frozen,though, and wished I had some coffee or tea with me.
M:So you spent the whole night inside the car
W:Yes.I managed to contact the emergency services finally.They knew my location from my phone signal.They'd called to ask if I needed an ambulance and luckily i didn't need it, so they just cleared the snow and led me along the road back to the main road(16).

M:Continuing our broadcast of public service announcements,Worldwide Helpers announces upcoming openings for a number of volunteer worker positions.All applicants must meet the following requirements.
First of all,applicants must be over 18 years of age(17).The company apologizes,but there can be no exceptions to this rule.Second,people interested in these positions may not have police records.A parking ticket and things like that are,of course,no problem.The employer will,of course,check with the police to confirm your clean record.
In addition,applicants must supply references from past or present employers or teachers along with their recent CV(18).These references must be relevant to the applicant's work habits(19).Remember,these are references from employers or teachers.A note from your dear old Mum won't do.Worldwide Helpers assures me that they will contact these refercnccs to confirm they are genuine.
Although all positions are volunteers,the employer will cover some of your expenses.For example,they will pay for transportation to and from the job site.Aside from that,the cost of phone calls is covered.But I'm sorry to say that you have to have dinner at your own home (20).
