26、Voluntourism

Volunteering to help people in need combined with travelling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry. It is called voluntourism. People travel to other countries, learn languages and gain new experiences. 【1】

Recent statistics show that in the past few years voluntourism has been one of the fastest-growing areas of tourism. More than 1.6 million people around the world are volunteers in other countries. They help build schools, assist in hospitals and do farming work in developing countries. 【2】 They keep in touch with their host families after they return home, and many return to visit.

There are many reasons why people want to engage in voluntourism. When people choose to join a voluntourism program, they are joining a global network of volunteers who are living and working with diverse cultures on projects that have a positive effect. The volunteers come from all over the world, and they will share the passion for giving back and the desire to broaden horizons. Some students also see it as a gap year after school, while others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else. 【3】 However, many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is. They think it is a cheap way of travelling and don’t really want to get involved in hard work.

While voluntourism has been around for over a century, modern volunteering started with the Peace Corps, a program that the US government started in the 1960s. From then on, voluntourism has become more and more popular. Many organizations start similar projects. 【4】 And they have hundreds of different types of programs for people to choose from in more than 30 developing countries. The programs run year round and each volunteer chooses when they want to start and the duration they would like to stay for.

【5】 They say that if people really want to help those in need, there are many opportunities in their own community to do this. On the other side, volunteers are often not skilled enough for the tasks that they do. Travel experts point out that in some cases voluntourists are often taken advantage of by the organization that sets up the trips.

A. Not everyone sees voluntourism in a positive way.

B. Some of them establish lasting bonds with people there.

C. And there are those who are bored and merely seek adventure.

D. Most voluntourism organizations employ people from similar fields.

E. They find it is the best way to get the best of the world.

F. By participating in voluntourism, they are contributing to local economy.

G. They offer voluntourism trips to suit people’s interest, experience level or age.

27、With the development of the economy, loose change (零钱) is often ignored by most of us. We have forgotten how those little, round metal pieces can add up. However, if you were a kid that had to clean the house for extra money, you’ll understand how important it is.

When I was a kid, I knew my parents could afford whatever I wanted, but Dad made me work for things that were “wants”. I knew Dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets. He had taught me that enough pennies would still get me what I wanted in the end.

Dad had his favorite reclining chair (躺椅) in his room where he would go after a long day at work. When he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies. I’m sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off, but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair.

My kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. In fact, he saw it as a pain-in-the-neck so instead of asking him for money, they always asked if they could have his change.

Whenever I see a penny on a floor, I always pick it up. They’ve come in handy over the years, like at the check stand when someone needs a penny to check out, or my children are twelve cents short of their bus fare — little things, but important things.

【1】Why is loose change ignored at present according to the author?

A．Because people’s lives have improved a lot.

B．Because loose change is often noisy.

C．Because loose change isn’t easy to carry.

D．Because people find it is of no use.

【2】Why did the author’s father ask her to work for her own “wants”?

A．To help her earn a lot of money.

B．To tell her that pennies add up.

C．To save enough money for future use.

D．To let her know it was hard to earn money.

【3】We can infer from Paragraph 3 that the author’s father _____.

A．didn’t care about loose change

B．taught the author a good lesson

C．was really a hard-working person

D．was too tired to look after his child

【4】The underlined word “pain-in-the-neck” means that the author’s husband _____.

A．was really rich

B．was very generous

C．had a problem with his neck

D．paid little attention to change

28、   Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

【1】Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para. 1?

A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

【2】It is suggested in this passage that _________.

A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

B.close relations usually have similar intelligence

C.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

【3】In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means ________.

A.intelligence B.life

C.environments D.housing

【4】The best title for this article would be________.

A.On Intelligence

B.What Intelligence Means

C.We are Born with Intelligence

D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150词左右。

Mary has always been by my side since my earliest age I could remember. The time I spent with her on our way to school was always the happiest memory for me. However, after the hospital told her that she had a serious cancer, we could no longer go to school together. I started the second semester of tenth grade on my own. Day by day, she became weaker and I felt like she was going away leaving me alone.

One day, when I woke up to go to school, Mary didn't. She had passed away in her sleep during the night. After she was laid to rest, I went back to school, but I didn't care much to be there at all. Then there came my darkest days when I felt like doing nothing and talking to nobody but floating（漂浮）in the ocean of sadness of losing her.

Since it was a new semester, my teacher didn't know me very well. My English teacher, Miss Jones, however, noticed that something was unusual. One day she asked me to meet her after class. “You always seem lost,” she said. "Your mind is always someplace else during class.”

I told her the reason I came to school every day. It was because I could be with Mary. Now she wasn't there. I didn't really feel I need to come anymore. Then she said, "well, could you please just do me a favor. I want you to meet me in my office today during the free period." So I met her, just to talk. Afterwards, she said, "Meet me tomorrow, the same time." And I did so the next day. She had me meet her during her after-class time, I helped her mark papers, check homework and we talked.

Paragraph 1:

This went on without missing a single day, which gradually took brightness to my life.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

It took me years before I realized what Miss Jones had done.
