san diego preschoolers. and it wasnt readinghed memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. he was 4. still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. he wanted more of that feeling.thirteen years later, hes getting a lot of it. hes on a five-month road trip across americanot sightseeing, but volunteering.the university city resident has spent time at an animal reserve in utah, a womens shelter in st. louis, a soup kitchen in new york, a retirement home in tucson. this week hes in los angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.“i just like helping people and feeling that something i do is making a difference,” he said. he resists the idea that his “do good adventure” is all that unusual. it bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. so he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “about 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “not everybody knows that.”of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. but charity work is a habit with him. even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering abut 200 hours a year at various places. hes made sandwiches for homeless families in washington d.c. hes taught math to fifth-graders in cuernavaca, mexico.he gets some of that drive from his mother, leslye lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. she was there when her son “read” to the preschoolersa memory of hers “that will never go away.”56. what did russell lyons think of his first volunteering?a. creative. b.persuasive. c. impressive. d. imaginative.57. the third paragraph is meant to . a. indicate russell lyons is working as a volunteerb. introduce some tourist attractions across americac. appeal to volunteers to offer help to those in needd. show volunteers are needed in all parts of america58. according to paragraph 4, russell lyons is against the idea that .a. what he has done is common b. most teens do volunteer workc. young people dont work hard d. adults prefer to be volunteers59. russell lyons has been doing volunteer work because . a. it is necessary for college applicationsb.it has become a natural part of his lifec. he likes the feeling of being praisedd. he ought to keep his promise to mombgallows humor(黑色幽默) may seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. but psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress.“humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when its not,”says james m.jones, a psychology professor at the university of delaware.psychologists say that just because youre laughing doesnt mean youre wasting time. occasional tease among colleagues, particularly if it is associated with the job, can inspire creativity, departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.“there are a lot of stresses out there,”says ed dunkelblau, a psychologist in chicago.“gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”this is as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. the main point of it should be inspiring peoplenot laughing at them. “anything that would lift morale(士气) in terms of the company would be good humor,”says thierry guedj, a professor.you want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so dont make observations that are aggressive. most obviously, dr. guedj says, dont make comments about peoples physical appearance or faith. if you have any doubt about its appropriateness, dont go through with it.or you can take aim at the person that you know wont be offended(冒犯): yourself. “if theres going to be a joke or story, it should be you,”mr dunkelblau says.“people with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves, too,”mr jones says.“and if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”60.according to the passage, gallows humor has the following functions except . a.leading to a big mistake b.reducing pressure c.making people more creative d.improving performance61.what is ed dunkelblaus attitude towards gallows humor? a.negative. b.positive. c.neutral. d.uncertain.62.when people use gallows humor, they should . a.observe who is aggressive b.show a sense of belonging c.doubt about the result of humor d.try to avoid involving private things63.what can we infer from the passage? a.people tend to laugh at others rather than themselves. b.laughing at yourself can make others free from stress. c.people cant avoid offending others with gallows humor. d.people who laugh at themselves are easy to gain others permission.cthis summer, experience the true meaning of awe(敬畏). feel the sudden excitement through your body. and blog it all in real time for your friends back home. on a discovery student adventure you will have the chance to jump the tourist barriers and enter places few travelers go, the true sites where amazing cultures flourish beyond the tourists stare.once there, you wont idly observe; youll launch into the daily life of the locals, trying new customs, sharing laughs, and sampling interesting meals. youll even have the opportunity to give back, participating in local efforts to replant the rainforest; save the wombats habitat; or researching the great barrier reef-just to name a few. the crazy thing is that youll be taking this all in, growing wiser to the world, and learning without even knowing it.requirements and expectations for student participantshow do you recognize a discovery student adventure student? our participants are:in 5th through 12th gradecurious about the worldopen-minded and excited to learn about new places and culturesresponsible students who maintain a good academic statusactive participants, ready to challenge themselves and experience new adventures. students should be reasonably fit before travel to take part in some of the more adventurous activities. these vary by itinerary(行程表), but may include:hiking 3-5 miles a day over uneven terrain(地形、地势) in various weather conditionsexciting overnight experiences, including camping, sleeping on ships, or even staying in a snow cave in new zealand. mountain biking.raftingswimmingsnorkelingto ensure students health and well-being, we ask each participant to complete a confidential health form.64. which of the following is true according

form if youre not ill67. the passage is mainly about .a. discovery student adventureb. great barrier reefc. good academic status d. mountain biking tourdencouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all childrens education, according to a new research.dr.helen lees, from stirling universitys school of education, says that “enforced(强制的) silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress childrens natural ability. but she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environmentcan have a significant effect on pupils concentration and behavior.it is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils academic ability.a study almost a decade ago in london found that childrens exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26 to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.dr. less said, “when we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. in areas of better learning outcomes, better self-confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a persons life and an individuals education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”dozens of schools across britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.kevin houston, head of sheringdale primary, south london, has just introduced a minutes silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. the school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.68
