Dekalb says a lot of kids idolized basketball player Michael Jordan when he was growing up in Chicago in the 1990s. Not him.I wanted to be like Dekalb Walcott Jr., he says of his father.So when his dad asked if he wanted to go on that call with him when he was 8, Dekalb was excited. Im jumping up and down, saying, Mom, can I go? Can I go? The experience changed Dekalbs life, he tells his dad on a visit to StoryCorps. My eyes got big from the moment the alarm went off. the younger Dekalb says. This is the life that I want to live someday. Now 27, the younger Dekalb is living that life. He became a firefighter at 21 and went to work alongside his dad at the Chicago Fire Department. Before his father retired, the pair even went out on a call together father supervising（监督） son.You know, its everything for me to watch you grow, his father says. But he also recalls worrying about one particular fire that his son faced.I received a phone call that night. And they said, Well, your son was at this fire. I said, OK, which way is this conversation going to go? Dekalb Walcott Jr. recalls.And they said, But hes OK. And he put it out all by himself. Everybody here was proud of him.And the word went around, Who was out there managing that fire? Oh, thats Walcott! Thats Walcott up there! So, you know, moments like that, its heaven on Earth for a dad.Dekalb Walcott Jr. retired in 2009. The younger Dekalb says hes proud of being a second-generation firefighter. You know, it makes me look forward to fatherhood as well, because Im definitely looking forward to passing that torch down to my son.36. The underlined phrase tag along in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. put out fireB. watch basketballC. follow his fatherD. ask his mothers permission37. Dekalb Walcott III determined to become a firefighter at the age of _A. 8 B. 21 C. 27 D. 35BMy family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down ones chimney（烟囱） and put toys in ones stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “Ive been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winked, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For BeckyI may have missed you in the second grade, but youve always lived in my heart. Santa.”Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.So now I believe that Santa is real. I dont mean the twinkle-eyed character of childrens mythology(神话) or the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me. I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.38. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors parents _.A. didnt love their child at allB. didnt know the previous owners of the houseC. didnt know much about Christmas tradition D. didnt have enough money to buy the author Christmas presents39. When the author told her friends about the story, she felt _in her heart.A. proud B. amusing C. hate D. regret 40. By writing the passage, the author speaks highly of _A. friendship B. parenting C. religion D. culture41. The author of the passage is probably _.A. a teenager B. a primary school student C. a middle-aged woman D. a native AmericanCCooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence childrens food preferences and behaviors, according to a recent review. And, although the review didnt look at long-term effects of such programs, the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.This research comes at a time when childhood obesity（肥胖） rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study. Cooking education programs, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the review explained.The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in（参与） their childrens eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.42. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Eating out frequently causes obesity.B. Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit.C. Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012D. Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.43. On cooking education programs, _.A. children learn how to prepare foods from their parentsB. children will learn how to cook in the company of their parentsC. children may learn information unknown to their parentsD. children focus more on cooking skills than on information about healthy foods44. Which of the following is true according to the study? A. Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.B. A greater willingness to try new foods helps building healthy habits. C. Children who participate in cooking programs are less likely to become obese.D. Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables as adults.45. Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?A. Education Systems B. Science and Technology C. Parent-child Relationship D. Public Health Research DEngineers should embrace（接受） the arts, Sir John OReilly, a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, argued in a lecture. About 59% of engineering companies in the IETs 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten business. There is nothing as creative as engineering, Sir John told the reporter. He says science, technology, engineering and mathematics - often known as Stem subjects, are vital for a modern knowledge economy. But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces. Delivering this years Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution, Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession. The lecture, Full Steam Ahead for Growth, advocated a wider adoption - Steam, or science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（创新）, crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness, he argued. Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field, said Sir John. Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding, he told the reporter. In particular he mentioned Cranfield Universitys Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial Colleges work with the Royal College of Art. The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products, he said. Aesthetics(美学) is part of it, he told the reporter, adding that Apples iPod was not the first digital media player, nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market because it was nice to have.Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences. But an emphasis on creative skills would help broaden the pool and attract more people in. 46.According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _ .A. skill shortages could threaten business B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expectedC. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK.D. the UK needs more graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics47. According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth, _ .A. engineers should cooperate with arts majorsB. Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineeringC. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work D. engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before48. By giving the example of Apples iPod, Sir John intends to _ .A. stress the importance of artsB. stress the importance of marketingC. stress the importance of communicationD. stress the importance of science and technology49. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. More university students should study arts instead of engineering.B. Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields.C. The IETs skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering.D. Students from some univer
