24、A Beautiful Reminder
Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles with her mother when a flight attendant asked an urgent (紧急的) question over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language (ASL)?”
Clara, 15 at the time, offered to help. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf. He is flying home after visiting his sister. He is unable to make any kind of communication with the flight attendants.” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying American Sign Language for the past year and she knew she would be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (掌心). So she stood up, walked toward the front of the plane, and rested on her knees alongside 64⁃year⁃old Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, letter by letter, she unlocked his wishes. She signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed awhile. She soon realized Cook didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk.
So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans of becoming a politician in the future. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her,she looked attentively at his face with such kindness.
People on board thought it was cool. A passenger named Lynette Scribner took a photo and wrote about Clara's act of kindness on the Internet, calling it “a beautiful reminder in this time of too much awfulness…that there are still good people who are willing to look out for each other.”

25、Few kids today are taught the value of sympathy(同情心). It seems so hard for people to show their love and care towards others and to actually understand what others are going through.
As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom told me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit(承认) that it wasn't very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of happiness in that person's eyes, you just want to do as much as you can do.
I had an experience with a guy whom people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was making a difference in his life.
After a while I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What changed was the attitudes of others towards him.
From this experience I’ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone can say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise you it will be the best feeling you can ever get.
One kind word can make someone’s day brighter.

26、 Colorado has more fourteeners — mountain peaks (山峰) over 14,000 feet — than any other state in the US. Many people believe that Colorado’s 53 fourteeners are reachable by only the most experienced mountaineers. In fact, climbing those fourteeners is hardly an impossible task for most climbers.
Surprisingly, unlike climbing Denali (the highest point in North America), a climb to one of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks seldom takes more than a day. Pikes Peak is a well-known difficult climb, yet a college teacher in his middle seventies makes the climb every day in the summer. A friend of mine, Carson Black, in a day, once climbed four fourteeners. Three of them — Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, and Kit Carson Peak — are the most difficult in the state. Only a handful of climbs took more than a day.
Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks are also easy to climb because they often require no special climbing tools. The climb to Capitol Peak is probably the most difficult, yet most climbers who carry ropes don’t use them when they see the ridge ( 山 脊 ) is not very frightening. The highest peak in the state, Mt. Elbert, is so simple to climb that one man rode a 24-year-old bicycle to the peak last year.
Another sign that climbing Colorado’s highest peaks is not very difficult is the number of climbers each summer. After going down from Torreys Peak one weekend in August, I counted over seventy cars in the parking lot. On a weekend of another August, I passed fifty people in different stages (路段) of Mt. Elbert. Last year, 4,226 people climbed Longs Peak. Its parking lot today is about a quarter-mile long.
In a word, Colorado’s peaks are not hard to climb. Most of them take only a day to climb, require no more than simple climbing skills, and are topped by many people each year.
【1】What does the writer think of many people’s belief in Paragraph 1?
A.He disagrees with it. B.He worries about it.
C.He is uncertain about it. D.He pays little attention to it.
【2】Which of the following climbs may take more than a day?
A.Climbing Crestone Needle. B.Climbing Crestone Peak.
C.Climbing Pikes Peak. D.Climbing Denali.
【3】What may be the writer’s advice for Capitol Peak climbers?
A.Ropes are usually necessary. B.It is better to reach the top by bike.
C.No special climbing tools are needed. D.Climbing the peak is not as easy as expected.
【4】Why does the writer mention Longs Peak’s parking lot?
A.To prove it has a parking problem. B.To advise climbers to travel by car.
C.To show its effort to draw climbers. D.To show the large number of climbers.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Colorado has the most fourteeners in the US. B.Colorado’s fourteeners can be easily climbed.
C.Topping a Colorado fourteener takes courage. D.Climbing Colorado’s peaks requires experience.
27、 If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment(失业) from your computer major(专业课) classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” requires people who are flexible(灵活的) and who have good communication skills.
There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions.
For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial(管理的) success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suitable for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.
Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs,but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level (入门的) positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most important quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably because of these skills that they have been offered different kinds of positions.
Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.
【1】By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have________.
A.shared the jokes with computer majors B.achieved as much as computer majors
C.stopped joking about computer majors D.found jobs more easily than computer majors
【2】Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ________.
A.are ready to change when situations change B.are better able to deal with difficulties
C.are equally good at computer skills D.are likely to give others pressure(压力)
【3】The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A.keep for some time B.successfully get C.start at once D.lose regretfully
【4】According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?
A.Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B.Readiness to get high-tech knowledge.
C.Skills in expressing themselves. D.Part-time work experience.
