Many companies in the United States have a Matching Gift program, which offers certain amount of money to these organizations when its employee makes a personal donation. The following list includes information on four major companies matching gift programs.CocaCola offers a matching gift program for employees through which the company triples(三倍于) donations to educational organizations, arts & cultural organizations and environmental groups. If you have donors who work for Coke, then make sure theyre submitting these grant requests, as the tripling of employee donations can go a long way.The GE Foundation matches at a 11 ratio with a minimum required donation of $25 and a maximum donation of $25，000 per year. Employees (both part and fulltime), spouses, and retirees are all eligible for their matching gift program.Google offers a generous matching gift program through which the company matches donations from employees to a wide range of organizations.This is through either the companys personal matching gift program or through the matching of fundraising efforts for events such as walks, marathons, bike rides, etc. Each Google employee can request up to $12，000 in matching funds annually through its different matching gift programs.Verizon has a solid matching gift program in place for its fulltime and parttime employees and for its retirees.Verizon matches donations at a 11 ratio, with a minimum gift requirement of $25 and a maximum gift requirement of $1，000 per year, per donor. The company will match a maximum of $5，000 per year, per donor for donations to higher education.()56. When a companys employee makes a donation to a nonprofit, the Matching Gift programs will _A. compensate the employee B. donate instead of the employeeC. give certain donations as well D. organize some voluntary events()57. From the list we know that _A. CocaCola offers three times donations of its employees to religious groupsB. CocaCola handles its employees donation request quicklyC. GE and Verizon will give the same amount, if an employee donates $20D. Googles employees can claim matching gifts in various forms()58. The purpose of this passage is _A. to inform B. to entertain C. to explain D. to persuadeBFlickering lights are annoying but they may have an advantage. Visible light communication(VLC) uses rapid pulses of light to transmit information wirelessly. Now it may be ready to compete with conventional WiFi.In a recent TED talk, Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh, UK demonstrated one VLC prototype(原型), “LiFi”， transmitting a video from a storebought LED lamp to a solar cell to a laptop. “LiFi is essentially the same as WiFi, except for a small differencewe use LED lights around us to transmit the data wirelessly as opposed to using radio，” Haas says.Once established, VLC could solve some major communication problems. In 2009, the US Federal Communications Commission(FCC) warned of a spectrum(波谱) crisis: because our mobile devices are so datahungry we will soon run out of radiofrequency bandwidth. LiFi could free up bandwidth, especially as much of the infrastructure is already in place. “There are around 14 billion light bulbs worldwide, they just need to be replaced with LED ones that transmit data，” says Haas.The idea of transmitting data through the visible light spectrum is not new. Alexander Graham Bell transmitted sound via a beam of sunlight in 1880 using a photophone, a sort of solarpowered wireless telephone. In the past several decades, a number of researchers have looked at using visible light to transmit data.But what Haas seized_on is the use of simple LED light bulbs for data transmission. LED bulbs are controlled by a driver, which can rapidly dim the light or turn it on or off. Therefore, Haas figured, data could be encoded in subtle shifts of the lights brightness. Eventually, he created a working transmitter and receiver system with an IKEA lamp and a solar panel.LiFi stands to be much faster than WiFi. According to Haas research, LiFi can achieve data density 1，000 times greater than WiFi, because LiFi signals are contained in a small area, as opposed to the more diffuse(分散的) radio signals. The system wouldnt mean having to keep your lights on all the time either, Haas saysbulbs could be dimmed to such a point that they appear off, but still transmit data.Now, Haas team hopes that LiFi could make its way into homes in a few years. The system can easily network any device with an LED lightan electric kettle, an oven. Eventually, this could bring about the Internet of Things era much faster. Haas also sees LiFi as a way to bring Internet to remote locations, using hilltop transmitters and rooftop solar panels. LED streetlights could even be used to form a network of outdoor LiFi, making it possible to stay connected when walking around the city.But some sound a cautious note about VLCs future. It becomes less powerful, for example, when light is blocked, whether due to fog or other conditions.()59. By saying “There are around 14 billion light bulbs worldwide，” Hass intends to tell us that _A. mobile devices will consume more dataB. radiofrequency bandwidth needs to be freed upC. VLC might solve the spectrum crisisD. the world has a complete lighting infrastructure()60. The underlined phrase “seized on” in the passage is closest in meaning to “_”A. distinguished B. exploited C. created D. figured()61. We can learn from the passage that _A. LiFi cannot work outdoorsB. LiFi can work with LED lights offC. LiFi can be used with all household appliancesD. LiFi needs improving to meet diverse needsC“Theres no point in talking with you: you dont understand me. You dont even know me.” A teen spits these words at a parent, who is hurt and annoyed. How can her own child say these things? Shes worked hard getting to know him, learning to read his feelings from his voice and gestures. How can her own child now say to her, “You dont know who I really am”？Nothing shakes a parents confidence as much as the starting of a childs adolescence. The communication that has flowed easily through word, glance and touch becomes a minefield(雷区)Recent discoveries that the human brain undergoes specific and dramatic development during adolescence offer new “explanations” of teen behavior, particularly of the impulsiveness(冲动) of teenagers. During this development, there may be too many synapses(神经元突触) for the brain to work efficiently; the mental capacities of decisionmaking, judgment and control are not mature until the age of twentyfour.An older explanation is that anger hormones account for the apparently unreasonable moodiness(情绪化) of teens. Though hormones do play a role in human feelings, the real task of adolescence, and the real cause of the unrest, is the uncertainty of teenagers about who they are, alongside their eagerness to establish a sense of identity.This involves selfquestioning, selfdiscovery and selfdevelopment across a range of issues, including sex, faith, intellect and relationships. A sense of who we are is not a mere luxury; without it we feel worthless. A teen often looks upon his or her friends as models: “I dont know who I am, but I know who he is, Ill be like him，” is the underlying thought. Parents also become such mirrors: teens want that mirror to reflect back to them the vividness and clarity they themselves do not feel.Arguments with parents can often be understood in this context. While those common teenagerparent quarrels, which explode every few days, are often over small things such as homework, housework, and respect; a teenagers real focus is on a parents recognition of his maturity and capability and human value. “No, you cant go out tonight，” implies that a parent doesnt trust him to make decisions. And, in a teens eyes, thats not only unfair, but shame. “Have you got your keys？” or “Do you have enough money for the bus？” are questions that can be easily accepted if asked by a concerned friend, but awaken a teens own doubts if asked by a parent. Feeling the need to distinguish himself from the kid who cant remember to take his lunch, his keys or his money, he blames the parent for reminding him of the childself still living within him. What my research shows is that quarreling with your teen doesnt necessarily mean you have a bad relationship. The quality of teenagerparent relationship has several measures.()62. According to the text, teenagers _A. can fully understand their parents feelingsB. need guidance in every aspect of their lifeC. may experience a huge mental changeD. know themselves better than their parents do()63. What do we learn from the text?A. Parents hate talking to their children because they cant understand them.B. The brains of teenagers work more efficiently because of the synapses.C. Hormones are the real causes of unrest and moodiness in teens.D. What teens really care about is being recognized by their parents.()64. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Quarrels between children and parents often involve se
