like a building in the bag on my back. i turned slightly to reduce some of the pain in my shoulder and saw the door at the end of the car.an obviously homeless man walked through the door. he was dressed in a dirty heavy coat. he dragged a bag that looked thirty times as heavy as mine. he asked people for spare change in the polite, experienced voice of a person who had done this before. i glanced down as i did a quick check of my pockets, hoping for spare change to give him that wouldnt leave me short for the rest of the week. i came up empty and lifted my head just as his path crossed mine. shrugging apologetically, i told him i had no change, expecting him to move through the door next to me and continue going to the next cars.however, he stood and stared at me, saying something quietly. then i realized he was asking me to take him home. suddenly money didnt matter that much to this man who lived in poverty without even enough money to purchase socks to stave off the chill. not food, not clothes, not even a blanket. just affection.i felt worse than i had done about not finding any spare change. my heart sank and i couldnt even think of the proper words to say besides “i cant, im sorry.” he asked me, “whats wrong with my request?” the answer was on my lips before i knew it. i told him that i was not good enough for him.it was after the man had left that i thought about the answer i had given him and wondered why it felt so right to say so. i realized that i should have requested love over money or food. the fact that he could appreciate something so simple and invisible is more than i could ever have expected of myself.46.when the author was sleepy and tired, he saw a homeless man on the train _.a. looking for his long-lost friend b. asking people for spare

1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in america. why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?first, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leave? one major cause for european farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. another was politics. there was an increased taxation（税收）and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern europe to avoid being forced to join the army.physical hunger provided another pressing reason. following the collapse（衰退）of the economy of southern italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in america. religion also encouraged millions to leave the old world.in short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. as a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born americans.but what were the attractions? first of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in europe. next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. men were needed to open up the west and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. there was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.this immigration meant that by around the 1850s americans of non-english had started to be more than those of english. as we know, there were losers. to start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labor. nor should we forget the equally unlucky american indians. by 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.nowadays, the usa is still seen by millions as the promised land. as always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.51. what is not the cause for people to leave their homeland?a. the search for religious freedom.b. the search for adventure.c. unwillingness to join the army.d. economy.52. why was the life of the european farmers in the 19th century difficult?a. there was no land.b. there was no peace.c. the population had gone down.d. there were too many of them.53. which of the following was not an attraction of the usa?a. a healthy life.b. employment. c. freedom of religion.d. business opportunities.54. what is the topic of this passage?a. the usa is still seen by millions as the promised land.b. the usa is a land of immigrants.c. religion encouraged millions to leave the old world.d. about one-eighth of non-native born americans lived in the usa in 1890.55. the american indians _.a. were as fortunate as the slavesb. were more unfortunate than the slavesc. were the most unfortunated. were as unfortunate as the slavescwashington (october 10, 2014) - this years nobel prize for physics was awarded to inventors of leds, now being used around the world. however, according to the international energy agency and the world bank, more than a billion people in the world still do not have access to electricity. after sunset, most of them use candles or oil lamps. a company in the netherlands is trying to change that with its products based on leds.when darkness falls, many kids in rural parts of haiti, rwanda, or refugee camps in syria read or do their homework by candlelight or a kerosene（煤油）-burning lamp. the open flames sometimes cause fires, while poisonous gases lead to respiratory problems.portable（便携的）electric light is safer, healthier and now, even cheaper. “this is the first time that artificial light or solar led is now less expensive than kerosene,” said camille van gestel, head of a dutch company called wakawaka, over skype. he added wakawaka, which means “shine bright” in swahili, is the most efficient solar-powered light and phone charger in the world today. when fully charged, it shines for up to 16 hours. it is affordable, sustainable, and its battery lasts for a long time. it can be set up on any flat surface, hung from a ceiling or set on top of a glass bottle.van gestel said his company operates like any other business, but some of the money made from selling its products is used to make wakawaka lights affordable to poor people. he said the plan is supported by international non-government organizations.“the international rescue committee was one of the first to actually take the wakawaka power into syria, to provide light and power for syrian refugees, and now the wakawaka is the most valued non-food item in syria,” said van gestel. in the past 24 months, the company has distributed around 300,000 units in places such as syria, hati, rwanda, indonesia and the philippines. its goal is to reach 1.2 billion people by 2030.56. what does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?a. using candles or oil lamps.b. being unable to see at night.c. having no access to leds.d. having no light at night.57. from paragraph 2, we can learn that candles and kerosene-burning lamps _.a. can help pupils do homeworkb. are still popular all over the worldc. are used in hati, netherlands and syriad. can occasionally lead to fires and lung troubles58. which of the following is true with wakawaka?a. its battery has a longer life than any other battery.b. it is the most affordable light for the poor.c. it is a kind of solar energy-saving light.d. it has to be charged frequently.59. the “wakawaka lights” plan was started to _.a. make better wakawaka lights for consumersb. reduce the use of electricity around the world c. help poor people without access to electricityd. support non-government organizations in the world60. what would be the best title for the passage? a. this years nobel prize for physics b. advantages of portable electric light c. popularity of leds around the world d. affordable light for people without electricitydmany people are already planning to look for a new position when the job market picks up, but the way you quit can have a long term impact on your career. how to resign on good terms:be prepared.review your employee handbook or employment contract before announcing your decision, so you know what company policy is regarding resignations, severance（解聘）, the return of company property and pay for unused vacation time. if you have another job lined up, be sure to have your offer in writing before you resign.use it or lose it.if you havent used vacation time and will lose it if you quit, you might want to use your time before leaving or link it to your resignation date. but if you dont want to burn any bridges, never announce

delete anything work-related if youre required to keep it.stay close.consider joining an employee alumni association, which often serves as a networking group for former employees. it can be a good
