21、Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all three with the Global Development Association (GDA).

Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you create positive changes in poor and remote communities.

We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programs. We have such roles as project managers and communication officers.

Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.

Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.

This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programs:

GDA ensures that volunteers work with community members and local project partners in places where our help is most needed. All of our projects are aimed at promoting the development of poor and remote communities.

There is no other chance like a GDA programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to develop your own skills while bringing benefits to these communities.

22、   Does an unborn baby know his mothers' voice? Psychology professor Anthony DeCasper designed an experiment to find it out. He placed padded earphones over a newborn's ears and gave him a bottle nipple(奶嘴) attached to a closed rubber tube Changes in pressure in the tube switched channels on a tape recorder. If the baby paused extra long between bursts of sucking(吮吸) he heard one channel; if he paused shorter than average, he heard the other. The baby now had the ability, in effect, to change.

DeCasper found that newborns choose the recording of their mothers' voice over that of another woman's. The baby, however, has no innate(天生的) interest in his father's voice, which is heard in the womb(子宫) only: from time to time, while the mother’s voice is ever present. Within two weeks after birth, however, the baby can recognize Dad’s voice,too.

A newborn is even attuned (调和)to the rhythm of his native language. In a French study using a setup similar to DeCasper's, French babies given the choice between French and Russian words responded more to the sound of French.

Brian Satt, a research specialist in clinical psychology, has parents sing a lullaby-like 'womb song' to their babies. The unborn baby often develops a specific, consistent movement pattern when its song is sung. According to Satt, most parents can calm a fussy newborn with the song most of the time, which is a prize worth more than rubies to a new parent.

He is woken up by a heavy jolt (颠簸):His mother has fallen heavily on one hip. He is much too well cushioned (缓冲) to experience any injury, but her pain and the fear that she may have hurt him floods both their bodies with stress-related hormones. He cries and kicks vigorously, a cry never heard because there is no air to make sound. As she recovers, the stress hormones fade away, and he calms down, too.

【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.An unborn baby can occasionally hear his fathers voice

B.DeCasper's approach proved effective in a French experiment

C.An unborn baby has a good command of his native language

D.Padded earphones are used in DeCasper's experiment

【2】According to the author, an unborn baby _______.

A.is unable to identify his mother's lullaby after birth

B.is able to identify his mother's voice rather than that of others’

C.is able to help release stress-related hormones

D.is able to distinguish French accent from Russian accent

【3】It is known from the passage that _______.

A.mother's stress, anger or shock might not hurt the unborn baby in the womb

B.an unborn baby’s cry might never be heard because of the condition of the womb

C.lullabies are always useful in calming a fussy newborn

D.an unborn baby has to kick violently and repeatedly in the womb

【4】The author believes that the reaction of an unborn baby to his mother's voice _______.

A.belongs to one of the natural tendencies some animals also have

B.is an indication which shows an unborn baby can use all his senses after birth

C.is a physiological reaction of human beings

D.is the most important factor which leads an unborn baby to the survival in the womb

23、Architecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment.   It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (过度敏感) to the built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.

As much as I love this profession, it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane (清醒的) while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.

I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice; East to west. Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn’t as hard as you think.

I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence, Oregon. In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.

I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor, Maine to Portland, Oregon, which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days. At that time, I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind, starting a whole new life and career in a new city. I ended up in Portland. After arriving in town on a bike, I eventually found a job, a place to live and an amazing dog.

I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to share how doing this has changed my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn’t everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about: my friends, traveling, bicycles, punk rock, technology, the internet, my dog, and even yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.

Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.

【1】What’s the advantage of cycling according to the author?

A．Changing his negative attitude to architecture.

B．Keeping himself focused on his career all the time.

C．Enabling him to find solutions without training.

D．Making him a much better architect and person.

【2】What does the author think of his two cross-country bike trips?

A．They are harder than what he expected before.

B．They show the benefits of riding with friends.

C．They give him some extraordinary experiences.

D．They guarantee him a new life and career in Portland.

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 6?

A．Don’t get completely lost in your hobbies.

B．Don’t abandon hobbies for your profession.

C．Don’t feel ashamed of stopping your hobbies.

D．Don’t weigh your family against your profession.

【4】In the last paragraph, the author reminds us to ________.

A．take up the pursuit of becoming an architect

B．find what we are really passionate about

C．appreciate other people’s good intentions

D．avoid our career taking over other pursuits
