running to his car with a huge bundle of office papers under his arm. as he opened the car door, he suddenly lost control of his body. he felt a stabbing pain in his arm, became totally breathless and lost consciousness. as he collapsed, half in, half out of the car, his last thought was “what a way to die”.a young woman getting into her own car in the otherwise deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husbands aid, trying to resuscitate him. realizing time was critical, she tried to move my husband to her car, calling the guard at the gate.fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive, she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could. she raced through traffic lights sounding her cars horn and screeched into the hospital car park, calling out, “i have an unknown man here who i think is having a heart attack.”once this good samaritan realized he was in capable hands she returned to the car park, found his keys on the ground, collected his scattered papers and stacked them in the car. having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day, the security guard thought he knew where he worked. the young woman managed to locate his colleagues who in turn contacted my niece. she then waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me.after extensive tests it turned out that my husband had had a grand mal epileptic seizure. we were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid. after some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked. she was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet(束) of flowers. she said she required no thanks, and preferred to remain anonymous(匿名的).we now live in a different country, but each christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift. we regard every day of his life as a bonus, all thanks to this kind stranger.56from the passage, we can infer that _.aa heart attack hit the writers husband suddenlybthere were few cars in her park that daycthe young woman was at a loss at firstdthe woman was fined for breaking the traffic lights57the underlined word “resuscitate” in paragraph 2 may mean”

small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to living on the street or in difficult circumstances. over the past nine years, street kids international (s.k.i.) has been working with partner organizations in africa, latin america and india to support the economic lives of street children. the purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons s.k.i. and our partner organizations have learned.backgroundtypically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but to a combination of factors: a lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. the street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. however, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative (剥削的) employment, urban crime.lessons learnedthe following lessons have come from the programs that s.k.i. and partner organizations have created.it is important for all loans (贷款) to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. small loans are provided for purchasing things such as bicycles, shoe shining kits (装备).all s.k.i. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money. generally the rates have been modest. conclusionthere is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs. 60the organization, s.k.i., aims to _. aprovide schools and social support for street children bgive business training and loans to street children cshare the lessons s.k.i learned to help street children ddraw the attention of the government to street children61according to the passage, what is the most probable reason why children end up living on the street? aunemployment. badventurous play. curban crimes. dpoverty.62this passage implies that with the help of s.k.i street children may _. areject paid employment bleave their families cset up their own business demploy other children63street children can borrow money _. abut should pay interestband neednt pay any interest cand neednt pay it backdbut should spend it on school thingscnot everyone who teaches in a college or university is a professor. many are instructors or lecturers. in fact, not even all professors are full professors. many of them are assistant or associate professors or adjunct professors.so what do all of these different academic titles mean at american colleges and universities? get ready for a short lecture, especially if you are thinking of a career in higher education.professors usually need a doctoral degree. but sometimes a school will offer positions to people who have not yet received their doctorate. this person would be called an instructor until the degree has been completed. after that, the instructor could become an assistant professor. assistant professors do not have tenure. tenure means a permanent appointment. this goal of greater job security is harder to reach these days. fewer teaching positions offer the chance for tenure. assistant professors generally have five to seven years to gain tenure. during this time, other faculty members study the persons work. if tenure is denied, then the assistant professor usually has a year to find another job. an assistant professor who receives tenure becomes an associate professor. an associate professor may later be appointed a full professor. assistant, associate and full professors perform many duties. they teach classes. they advise students. and they carry out research. they also serve on committees and take part in other activities. other faculty members are not expected to do all these jobs. they are not on a tenure track. instead, they might be in adjunct or visiting positions. a visiting professor has a job at one school but works at another for a period of time. an adjunct professor is also a limited or part-time position, to do research or teach classes. adjunct professors have a doctorate. another position is that of lecturer. lecturers teach classes, but they may or may not have a doctorate. 64in which column of a newspaper can the passage probably appear? aeducation. bentertainment. cpolitics. dsports.65which of the following positions should have a doctor degree?ainstructors and lecturers.bassistant professors and instructors. clecturers and adjunct professors. dassistant and adjunct professors.66according to paragraph 6, how long can an assistant professor stay in his or her position at most? a13 years. b12 years. c7 years. d8 years.67which one shows the correct order for a professors development? aan assistant professor ban instructorca full professor dan associate professorab, a, d, c bb, d, a, c cc, a, d, b db, c, a, dda new “beauty making” computer program uses a mathematical formula(公式)involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version of a picture, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.the program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. most important is symmetry(匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.“how can they prove something is mo
