organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organizations largest emergency food distribution center in san diego. she was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited washington d.c. to receive the award.“she was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said mike doody, former director of the food bank. “she had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. she was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. she had a good heart.” people knew her as “grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “she reminded people of their grandma.” doody said.as a widow with a young child in 1979, mrs. cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the food bank provided her with groceries. “she dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter, monica cooper. it wasnt unusual for a local church to call mrs cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “she would give people food out of her cupboard. sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” cooper said.although mrs cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. she died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.41the underlined word “charity” in paragraph 1 refers to .aoffering helpbdonating moneycproviding servicesdshowing sympathy42the san diego food bank is meant to .adistribute food in case of emergencybhelp hungry children and familiescgive basic first-aid

that .a everyone needs a grandma nearbybchildren are what their parents areca sound mind is in a sound bodyda mothers love never changesbmost american students go to traditional public schools. there are about 88,000 public schools all over the us. some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.charter schools are self-governing. private companies operate some charter schools. they are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. they receive tax money just as other public schools do. charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. these governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.the bush administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. but some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. one teachers union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.the american federation of teachers criticized the governments delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the national assessment of educational progress. union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.46if a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must .atry new methods of teachingbprove its management abilitycobey the local and state lawsdget the governments

schools.cstudents in charter schools are well educated.dpeople have different opinions about charter schools.50it can be inferred from the text that .acharter schools are part of the education systembone-on-one attention should be paid to studentscthe number of charter schools will be limiteddcharter schools are all privately financedcfrom a very early age, some children show better self-control than others. now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in new zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now. they observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed. parents, teachers, even the kids themselves, scored the youngsters on measures like “acting before thinking” and “persistence in reaching goals.”the study led by moffitt of duke university and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in dunedin, new zealand.“the children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” moffitt said，“and they had the worst financial situation. they were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.moffitt said its still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. but good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. but the good news, moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.51from the first two paragraphs we learn that .athe research has been carried out for five yearsbself-control in kids tends to determine their futurecself-control was assessed by childrens intelligencedchildrens self-control is almost the same at early age52children with low self-control are more likely to .abecome wealthy in later life bget good school performancechave better financial

in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activitydwillpower as a child really influences peoples chances of adulthood54what can be inferred from the passage?aself-control cannot be taught in schools.bthe study is restricted within few participants.cits never too late to deal with self-control problems.dgood parenting can improve self-control and life success.55which of the following might be the best title of the passage？achilds self-control predicts future health and successbkids are encouraged to take risks at an early agecchildrens development cannot be changed by teachersdhow to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schoolsdjust 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in britain were teacher, banker and doctor. now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to survey by the guardian newspaper.rachel, a character in the popular tv show glee, may be said to speak for british teenagers. “nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” he said.emma brockes, a reporter with the guardian, believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame. “when children wanted to be doctor, it wasnt because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is.” she wrote.it could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. dr carlo stranger, of tel aviv university, studied the sense of self for his new book the fear of insignificance: searching for meaning in the 21st century. he told the daily mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).”“as humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. we are comparing ourselves with the most important people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said. today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.the way out? simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. dr strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.”“the fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.56nowadays, young people in britain want to .achoose jobs based on interestsbbecome famouscbe teacher, banker and doctordearn more money57according to emma brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?achoices of future careers.baccess to the global network.cbad influences of celebrities.dendless

had been part of the gardens of burlington house previous to this. originally it was named savile street. houses were built on one side of the street, with gardens on the other side and the street was therefore nicknamed savile row, with a row of houses on one side. the name was officially changed in 1810. the first tailors appeared on the street in 1785, and over the next fifty years the trend continued. many savile row tailors have gone out of business or moved elsewhere within london, but plenty still remain and it is still the place where many men go for their tailoring.fleet street was often used to refer to the british press
