Reading ComprehensionHarvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Columbia: These schools have a lot in common. Their admissions are incredibly competitive, they charge a high price and graduates have a big advantage in finding a good job. In fact, graduates from famous schools might not enjoy as much of an advantage in the job markets as many think, and that a big name on your diploma doesnt always mean a big payoff.Lets start with the cost: Tuition at the top schools can easily average $35,000 per year or more, while a lesser-known school might cost up to $ 20,000 areas so students have to add their living costs to their tuition bill.Once they graduate, however, students are often facing with thousands of dollars of debt that they need to repay. The reasoning goes that graduates from big-name schools can write their own ticket, but the statistics dont bear this out. Graduates from a school which requires test scores high above the average can expect to make an extra 5% more than others, but that doesnt justify paying 40% more for tuition.Graduating from a lesser-known school with the same academic qualifications can make you the same money over the long run. Long-range studies show experience and performance eventually matter much more than the name on your degree, especially when times get tough. 1.

He was deep in a canyon (峡谷) in Southern Utah. All he had with him was a days worth of food and water, and some ropes and climbing equipment. Aron was an outdoorsman, and knew how to take care of himself. He liked climbing 5,000-meter peaks, often by himself in the winter. For the next four days he tried to break or shift the rock as he waited for help. His knife had little effect on the hard stone. He made his food and water last nearly three days. Finally, on the fifth day, Aron realized he had no other choice: to free himself, he would have to cut off his own hand. He knew that the knife would cut skin and muscle, but not bone. So first Aron had to break his own arm by twisting it against the rock. He then tied a rope tightly around the upper arm to control the bleeding, and cut through his hand to free himself. The entire procedure took approximately an hour. Tired, hungry and bleeding heavily, Aron climbed out of the canyon and walked nearly 8 kilometers to find help. “Im not sure how I handled it,” he later said. “I felt pain and I coped with it. I moved on.” 1. Aron was trying to climb _B_ when he got stuck.A. a mountain B. a canyonC. the forests D. a river2.

Reading ComprehensionA team of archaeologists (考古学家) has gone to New Mexico to look for proof of one of the greatest stories of the 20th century: the UFO crash at Roswell.William Foleman, an archaeologist at the University of New Mexico, agreed to excavate (发掘) the site where the UFO supposedly crashed in 1947.What exactly happened on the site is unclear. In 1947, a young man discovered some debris (碎片) on the field.

The field was closed off for several days while the military cleaned up the site.Believers claim that the military found a crashed UFO, along with several dead bodies at the site.

Reading ComprehensionDo you know American Toughman? That is amateur boxing competitions around the U.S. Compared to professional boxing matches, a Toughman fight could not be simpler. Passing a brief physical examination and paying $50 get you a pair of gloves. The fights take place in three two-minute rounds with the winner decided by points awarded by a judge. The prize money doesnt compare with professional matches either. Some professional boxers make millions every time, while the most a Toughman competitor can hope for is $1,000 for winning a series of fights. Some fighters hope that a Toughman boxing match will lead to fame and fortune though. Mr. T, a famous tough guy actor, got his start in Toughman, but that kind of success is one-in-a-million. Another difference between Toughman and professional matches is that Toughman fighters usually have no idea what theyre doing. The $50 entrance fee doesnt buy a minute of training. Experienced fighters are trained to protect themselves as well as attack their opponents, but Toughman fighters could barely keep their hands up. Art Dore, who founded the league 24 years ago, admits, “These guys cant fight.” This kind of inexperience can be fatal; 12 people have been killed in Toughman matches, four in the past nine months alone.1.

Reading ComprehensionInterpersonal Relationship James is a middle-aged New York builder. Hes lonely. Just like everyone else, James needs human contact from time to time, and hes found a way: at cuddle (拥抱) parties. New York can be a terrible place: it has a high murder rate and some seriously disturbed people living in it. But James says hes comfortable at a New York apartment with twenty strange people. The floor of the “cuddle zone” is soon covered with complete strangers snuggling (依偎) and cuddling, but thats as far as it goes. Cuddle parties are the latest trend for lonely, isolated city folks who want to meet people and become safely intimate. The safety comes from rules before you come, bring clean clothes, ask permission before you cuddle, and keep your clothes on. “We have cuddle lifeguards to make sure everyone sticks to the rules,” says Mihalko. The lifeguards make sure nobody gets out of line, and everyone goes home feeling better than when they arrived. Once the cuddle party is in full swing, people are soon crawling on top of one another, stretching out like dogs ready for a nap. Mihalko admits that the whole idea “might seem a little odd” at first. But research has shown that being touched by other people helps reduce stress and can help sick people heal faster.1. According to the passage, which of the following about James is true?CA. He is old . B. He is rich and happy.C. He constructs buildings. D. He has established cuddle parties.2. What is the relationship among people at the cuddle parties?DA. They are friends. B. They are relatives.C. They are lovers. D. They do not know each other.3. What do people do at the cuddle zone?BA. They talk and cuddle.B. They snuggle and hug.C. They cuddle and take off their clothes.D. They cuddle and kiss.4. What should “cuddle lifeguards” make sure?AA. Everyone being cuddled should be glad to do so.B. People should not make friends in the parties.C. Strangers should not cuddle each other.D. People can get out of line.5. From the passage, we can infer that _C_.A. people in New York feel especially lonelyB. New York is a terrible city to live inC. some Americans consider cuddling people they do not know a strange action at first. D. being touched by strangers does no good to human healthI.
