wait!it was an opportunity 19-year-old jodi sagorin felt she couldnt pass up.the california student had received an admission letter to new york university, but she wanted to follow a calling to volunteer in india. when she got an offer to do just that, she decided there would be no better time to do it.“it matches everything im interested in,” she said. “its just one of those things; it was meant to be.”last month, sagorin packed up her belongings and headed over to uttar pradesh as an intern(实习生) for drishtee, an organization that works for the economic and social development for the

really proud of her of wanting to do this,” said mike sagorin, her father. “were a little concerned about a 19-year-old girl going out there by herself and hope shell be safe.”sagorin and her family researched everything they could about the organization and bought more than a dozen books about the country.before her trip to india, sagorin raised $3,500 to pay for her travel and living expenses, along with some to donate to the people she would work with in india.she has promised to send various levels of gifts from a personal postcard to a personalized video touring the taj mahal to those

so good for the tongue. unfortunately for the us soldiers of world war ii, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.in the armys defense, it wasnt trying to win any cooking awards. in fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldnt eat them too quickly. these bars were created for survival, not taste. “they were awful,” john otto, a former army captain in world war said. “they were big, thick things, and they werent any good. i tried them, but i had to be awful hungry after i tried them once.”as unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. samuel hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “it soon became obvious that the generous american soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”the bars turned many hungry europeans into friends of the united states. “people wanted them,” said otto, “youd give them to kids. in some places they were very hungry. and they sure helped relax people about american soldiers.”otto said he never saw a european turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “it was food,” he said, “at that time, everyone was very hungry. i saw german kids standing outside the u.s. army kitchen. they werent begging, just standing there very politely. when we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. they were that hungry.”other europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “we didnt see any americans where i was,” said elizabeth radsma, who was 25 years old when the germans occupied her country, the netherlands. “even after the war, we saw only english. maybe the americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. before the british, we saw only german soldiers. but chocolate? dont make me laugh! maybe in my dreams!”a soldier in the field might have responded “be careful what you wish for” and then gratefully bit on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.61. what was the american soldiers attitude towards the chocolate bars?a. they were delicious. b. they tasted awful.c. they were necessary for survival.d. too many of them were produced.62. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the us soldiers used the chocolate bars as bath soap.b. the us soldiers did not have enough food during world war.c. the us army produced more chocolate bars than necessary for its soldiers.d. european people regretted eating chocolate bars from the us soldiers.63. the underlined expression “turn his or her nose up at” probably means _.a. rejectb. demand c. received. smell64. why does the author mention the german kids story?a. to tell how friendly the american soldiers were.b. to describe the hunger in germany during the war.c. to prove german kids could be very polite. d. to show how much they were eager for chocolate.65. elizabeth radsma never saw chocolate during the war because _.a. the us soldiers handed out all chocolate to people in big citiesb. the german soldiers kept them all for themselvesc. the british soldiers didnt share it with the local peopled. the us soldiers never showed up in the small town she lived incin the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language. research in the sixties found the opposite. bilingual people scored higher than monolinguals, people who speak only one language. so which is it?researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the american association for the advancement of science. the latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people smarter. but researcher ellen bialystok says it probably does make you better at certain skills.ellen bialystok said, “imagine driving down the highway. therere many things that could capture your attention and you really need to be able to monitor all of them. why would bilingualism make you any better at that?”and the answer, she says, is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention a function called the executive control system.ms. bialystok is a psychology professor at york university in toronto, canada. she says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the stroop test. a person is shown words in different colors. the person has to ignore the word but say the color. the .problem is that the words are all names of colors.ellen bialystok said, “so you would have the word blue written in red, but you have to say red. but blue is so salient(显著的), its just lighting up all these circuits(电路) in your brain, and you really want to say blue. so you need a mechanism(机制) to override that so that you can say red. thats the executive control system.”来源her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. they have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. they need to suppress(抑制) one to be able to speak in the other.this mental exercise might help in other ways, too. researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or alzheimers disease.66. whats the best title of the text?a. bilingual people, smarterb. monolingual people, smarterc. bilingual people, longer livesd. bilingual people, better at some skills67. the underlined word “override” in paragraph 6 probably means _.a. pay attention to b. take no notice of c. take an interest in d. take care of68. in the stroop test, supposing you have the word yellow written in white, you will have to say _.a. white b. yellow c. blue d. red69. which group of people can most likely pass the stroop test?a. people who can speak only chinese.b. people who can speak only japanese.c. people who can speak more than one language.d. people who can speak only english.70. which of the following statements is false according to the text?a. a bilingual child is better at separating a word from its meaning.b. a bilingual child can more easily make friends with a foreign child.c. bilingual people are more able to monitor several things at the same time.d. its not possible for bilingual people to develop alzheimers disease.dthe bbc was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. it is based at broadcasting house in london.the bbc is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have complete freedom and government c
