21、Maybe you want to give back to your community, but you don’t know where to begin. It was something Rebecca Reeder used to hear from friends whenever they learned she volunteered around the Los Angeles area.
The idea finally took shape during her 30th birthday celebration. Reeder and her brother put together a surprise party for her guests. They rented a party bus in secret and invited everyone she knew to a mystery (神秘) event. The surprise bus ride was not only a hit but also an effective ice breaker. Many guests had never met before that night but they were all fast friends by the end of the trip.
Reeder and a friend realized this might be the answer for friends seeking fun ways to do good.
Then they began Do Good Bus and hosted their first community ride in 2010. Everyone assumed it would be a one-off event, but participants had such fun and felt so good about giving back that they demanded another. And then another. “This kind of things just snowballed from there,” says Reeder, who is now a full-time director of the growing nonprofit organization.
Over the past seven years, Do Good Bus has offered once-a-month public rides in Los Angeles. Volunteers board the bus and ride to a mystery community service project. Reeder likes to keep the locations and causes a secret to add an element of fun and mystery, and to prevent people from arriving with too much expectation.
Participants pay $ 45, with 10 percent going to the day’s cause and the rest going to Do Good Bus to help cover costs and run the program.
Rides usually last four to five hours and include everything from working in homeless shelters to beach cleanups to planting community gardens.
The aim, says Reeder, is to raise awareness about causes, and encourage continued support in the community while having a good time.
【1】Why did Reeder say the bus ride on her birthday was an ice breaker?
A．It exposed the need of the poor to people.
B．It made people realize how to do good deeds.
C．It made people brave enough to stand the cold ice.
D．It helped people get connected in the activity.
【2】What do we know about their first ride in 2010?
A．It took place in winter.
B．It was disappointing.
C．It was a great success.
D．The author organized it alone.
【3】How does Reeder get the money for the activities?
A．Participants pay for them.
B．The government supports her.
C．She raises money in society,
D．Community covers 10 percent of the cost.
【4】What can we infer about the Do Good Bus?
A．It takes about 5 hours on the way.
B．It offers a pleasant way to do good deeds.
C．It raises money for the participants’ community.
D．It gives a surprising and friendly celebration.
22、Whatever life threw at us each year, our family had one tradition at Christmas: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.
Last year, everyone made it home for a Christmas get-together. However, it couldn’t feel perfect because Pepper’s health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected-she was fourteen-and yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.
Probably it was Pepper’s last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.
Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed (咀嚼) it slowly. Our family was so happy.
Pepper saw the remaining three presents, and then turned to Mom as if asking, “May I open another?”
“Go ahead, girl!” Mom encouraged.
For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a whole-not because we were in the same room or city, but because our love brought us together.
Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.
I still treasure Pepper’s final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holidays, the smallest act of sincere giving can unite our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.
【1】Why did the author think the Christmas wasn’t perfect last year?
A．Pepper was in poor health.
B．Pepper died on Christmas Eve.
C．He didn’t get a Christmas gift.
D．His family didn’t feel as a whole.
【2】How many Christmas gifts did Pepper get last year?
A．Four.
B．Three.
C．Two.
D．One.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “the longest-lasting gift” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The life lesson the author learned from Pepper.
B．The Christmas present for the dog.
C．The holiday spent with family.
D．The friendship with the dog.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Enjoying the Happiness of Making Friends
B．The Importance of Helping Others
C．Celebrating Christmas
D．The Power of Love
23、Top Four Ways to Build a Wonderful Life
1. Live Below Your Means
There will always be temptation to give up the future for immediate pleasure. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on. Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.
2. Put Your Money to Work
Saving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40’s or in your 60’s. A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking. According to Trent’s estimates, if a person in their early 20’s invests 20% of their income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40’s. They could retire without a drop in income! Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and it’s something everyone can work on. It’s definitely an area I’ll be devoting more attention to in my personal life.
3. Educate Yourself
To be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives. Education builds over time. It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire don’t mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.
4. Develop Lasting Personal Relationships
Suppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget about them. Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.
【1】According to the passage, in order to achieve financial independence after retirement, we’d better ________.
A. get along well with our family and friends
B. bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoyment
C. invest our money wisely when we are young
D. learn some new skills and try to find a new job
【2】 From the passage we can infer that some people try to ________.
A. gain happiness by buying themselves expensive things
B. save everything they can to help those in need
C. devote more attention to their personal life
D. take out a loan to promote technology
【3】 The author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is ________.
A. gaining as many degrees as possible
B. being open to new ideas and views
C. only focusing on very big events
D. creating long-term happiness
【4】The above passage is written in order to ________.
A. explain what true happiness is about
B. offer ways to achieve a happy and successful life
C. introduce different definitions about happiness
D. persuade readers to find out the meaning of life
24、Last spring, members of Alaska’s Troop 34, based in Fairbanks, trudged (跋涉) out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state’s Take a Kid Trapping program. In many parts of the state, beavers （海狸）are pests and need to be controlled.
The 10－to－12－year－old girls found out where beavers lived, set traps, and skinned the two animals they caught. The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur. They also want to cook beaver meat.
Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state’s beaver population. But animal－rights activists say trapping is cruel. They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks.
Beavers aren’t only causing a problem in Alaska. Residents in Sampson County, N.C. , have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there.
County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than $ 50,000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program. The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass they trapped.
Many local residents say that the program didn’t work because there were too few trappers. That’s why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area’s beaver population.
The county will rely on its own beaver－trapping program. It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas. The county will pay $10 for every beaver carcass.
Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance? For beavers to survive, they need lots of water. Water provides the large rodent （啮齿动物）with a place to hide from meat – eating animals. Beavers also store food underwater for the winter. When there’s not enough water in a particular area, beavers get busy building dams.
Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects. Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects.
【1】What is Alaska’s Troop 34?
A．A team of the Boy Scouts. B．An army.
C．A team of the Girl Scouts. D．A sports team.
【2】Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers?
A．To fulfill their task.
B．To sell them for money.
C．To get enough fur.
D．To exchange them for mittens and hats.
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A．Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there.
B．The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success.
C．The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County.
D．More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County.
【4】Local residents hate beavers because they can ___________.
A．cause damage to dams
B．block up canals with heavy objects.
C．do great harm to construction projects.
D．badly damage the environment and cause floods.
