At 5:30 am, carer(护工)Ivy Bowen's clock wakes her up. She puts on her uniform, and then walks to a bus stop to the hospital where she works. Two hours and two buses later, the 68-year-old arrives at 8:00 am, half an hour before her shift(轮班).
For Tracey Griffiths and her son Carl, this half an hour has been life-changing. Because for nearly two years, Ivy has spent that time bringing Carl cups of tea and chatting. Thanks to these chats, as well as Ivy's devotion and caring skills, Carl has begun speaking again after four years of silence.
Four years ago, a serious accident left Carl unable to move and talk. When he did finally speak, one of his first words, unsurprisingly, was "Ivy". "Ivy is there and it makes a huge difference. Thanks to her, Carl's speech is coming on by leaps and bounds," says Tracey.
Ivy should have retired(退休)two years ago but she is still there, because she wants to be, and so do the hospital's managers and her grateful patients. Ivy is now in charge of 25 patients at the hospital. She makes tea and coffee for families as well as patients, and makes sure that everyone in her care gets enough fresh water. She also helps with feeding, giving creams or anything else that might need doing.
Ivy's great wish to improve the lives of patients has driven her to find other ways, in which she can help them out. For Ivy, the recipe for good care is simple. "Treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself," she says. "I love everything about working at the hospital. To be able to come in, have a chat and change someone's day a bit, it means a lot."
24. When should Ivy Bowen begin her work every morning?
A. At 5:30. B. At 7:30. C. At 8:00. D. At8:30.
25. What's Ivy's main duty in the hospital?
A. To chat with the patients. B. To give creams to the patients.
C. To feed all the patients. D. To provide water for the patients.
26. Who was Carl?
A. Ivy's son. B. Ivy's patient.
C. The nursing director. D. A famous doctor.
27. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A. Carl has great difficulty in keeping silent.
B. Carl makes a huge difference to Ivy's career.
C. Carl is too afraid to see the carers as well as doctors.
D. Carl has made progress in speaking with the help of Ivy.

Long before "digital" and "native" were words that could reasonably fit into the same sentence, kids had adventures in the great outdoors-the sort of nature-filled adventures filmmaker Paul Ward experienced as child growing up on a farm.
"Unfortunately, children today don't have the same exposure to nature," says the father of Estella, nine, and Sylvie, seven. "Instead, these digital natives are often glued(粘合)to their screens."
Wanting to reconnect this young generation with the outside world-through a medium that they're familiar with-Ward teamed up with film producer Vicky Pope to create Wild Eyes, a website that uses technology to help children to get in touch with nature.
Ward and Pope spent two years developing Wild Eyes, which requires users to complete interesting tasks in nature, such as setting up camp or finding a certain kind of bird. Once a challenge is complete, the player uploads a photo to the website to earn online encouragement and "likes" from other players.
"It's all about interacting with kids on their own terms," says Ward.
Ward, who spent almost two years working as a producer for the Discovery Channel in Los Angeles, says the response so far has been positive. "We've had more than 15,000 site visitors to date, which is really encouraging."
Both Ward and Pope are working hard to ensure all the tasks are affordable and adaptable for both the home and classroom. They believe there's also a future benefit to turning square eyes into wild eyes.
"As David Attenborough says, people will only protect what they care about and they'll only care about what they've experienced" he says. "Given so much of our lives are lived online, if we care about looking after our natural world, it's important we provide attractive digital experiences that engage young kids with nature."
28. How was Ward's childhood different from his children's?
A. He did a lot of outdoor activities. B. His vocabulary was limited.
C. He seldom played in the wild. D. He had no computer or TV set.
29. What do children do on Wild Eyes?
A. Expand their knowledge about nature.
B. Complete their tasks given by the website.
C. Share their outdoor activities with others.
D. Participate in activities organized by the website.
30. Why did Ward creat Wild Eyes?
A. To help children get closer to nature. B. To start a new business.
C. To develop a new network technology. D. To help a film producer.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Experiencing the Great Outdoors B. Keeping away from the Screen
C. Combining the Screen with Nature D. Looking after the Natural World
D
Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight diseases than people who are alone.
Place friendship in the first place. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can't get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of "heartfelt" intimacy(亲密).
Don't be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it's' wanted. Help raise friends' self-(自尊)when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league.
Don't wait for friend to ask favor. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after-school activities.
Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.
32. People with close friends have a ability to fight diseases than people who are alone.
A. less B. greater C. poorer D. little
33. What should we do to have friends according to the author?
A. Make friendship priority.(头等大事) B. Open up to close friends.
C. Never take a friendship for granted. D. All of the above.

How to Protect Wildlife
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions can help protect many different animals. 36
Create wildlife friendly areas. When trying to make your garden more beautiful, choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. 37
38 By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway when you can and turn off electric devices when you're not using them.
Buy products that are wildlife-friendly. 39 Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Limit family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. With the rapidly growing population, more and more habitats for wildlife are occupied by humans. 40 In this way, the Earth's population will stabilize and native habitats can be protected.
A. Live a greener life.
B. Donate money to organizations.
C. Each family should be limited to one or two children.
D. Avoid products that are made from endangered animals.
E. Protecting wildlife from being endangered is every family's duty.
F. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
G. Build bird houses to your garden or yard to attract and shelter these species.

I realized there was something 46 about me.
My little voice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me to 47 attending events, not make important 48 , and keep my ideas to myself. As shy person, working from home, hiding behind my computer was 49 , but the more time I spent hidden away, the more my comfort zone shrank. Everyday 50 , like ordering coffee, became increasingly awkward and 51 .
And, then, one day I was at big conference and it suddenly 52 me like lightning bolt(闪电). All speakers were confident, comfortable with being 53 . There were no quieter voices. But the 54 is, if the loud voices are the only ones you hear, we quieter people feel even more alienated(疏远的). The world needs mixture of personalities. Success is not just about who can shout the 55 . The world needs quieter people, too. That day I chose to stop 56 and embrace my shyness. No more feeling like I needed to change who I am in order to 57 . No more living a small life.
Then I created the Shy and Mighty Society, a space for shy people like me to 58 , and in the process of helping others, could also push myself 59 , bit by bit. Now, I'm happy to tell people I feel shy. I'm not 60 any more. And I know that I'm not alone.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
One of the benefits of technology has been 61 increase in the means available for people to stay in touch. While families once had to wait weeks, sometimes months, for letters 62 (arrive), contact is now available from almost any part of the world at any time. This not only 63 (allow)more opportunities to feel included, connected, and involved but also 64 (many)chances to give and provide support, assess others needs, determine their states of mind, and work to resolve conflicts.
65 , availability for contact isn't always good thing. For example, it used to be that estrangements(疏远)between parents and their adult children were done far more 66 (private). Prior to the 67 (exist)of social media or the rapid transmission of the Internet, one could be estranged from a child or parent, and the only people 68 would hear about it might be whomever the parents wanted to tell and the close circle of confidants(知己)of the estranged adult child. For all the sufferings 69 (cause)by an estrangement, it could mean a fairly clean break, however painful, for both the parent and the child. People would cut off contact and perhaps never 70 (hear)from again, unless or until they make up or give in to each other.

Dear Alex,
Thanks for your e-mail. I'm a bit like you. I prefer to be outdoors. I live in the mountains and I'm lucky to live here because there are a lot of things to do. In summer I always go walking or swimming in the lake and in winter I often go skiing. We have mountain bikes that we sometimes use too. If it's very cold, my friends and I also stay indoors, playing computer games or watching TV. However, go outside soon to protect our eyes.
As far as I am concerned, it's much better to be outdoors to get fresh air and exercise, which can make us keep healthy.
Wish you good health!
Yours,
LiHua

M: Hi Raman. It's Brad here. I'm afraid I won't be in today. My son isn't feeling well and he's off school so I've got to take my son to the doctor. But do you remember the training meeting next week? You know, the one about the new computer system? I've organized the trainer so there's no need to contact him and I've booked the room, but there are a few other things that need doing. I need you to organize the projector that goes with the computer. You can do that with reception. And you'll need to sort out lunch for about ten people. Yes, there'll be ten of us. Talk to Alison at reception-she knows some good cafés we can order from. You can ask her to help you with it. And I need you to make sure that everyone has a notebook and a pen. I'm really sorry to leave all these things for you on a phone message. I might call you back this afternoon and see how you've got on. Bye for now.
