volunteered for the first time, he read goodnight moon to a class of san diego preschoolers. and it wasnt readinghed memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. he was 4. still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. he wanted more of that feeling.thirteen years later, hes getting a lot of it. hes on a five-month road trip across americanot sightseeing, but volunteering. the university city resident has spent time at an animal reserve in utah, a womens shelter in st. louis, a soup kitchen in new york, a retirement home in tucson. this week hes in los angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.“i just like helping people and feeling that something i do is making a difference,” he said. he resists the idea that his “do good adventure” is all that unusual. it bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. so he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “about 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “not everybody knows that.”of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. but charity work is a habit with him. even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering abut 200 hours a year at various places. hes made sandwiches for homeless families in washington d.c. hes taught math to fifth-graders in cuernavaca, mexico.he gets some of that drive from his mother, leslye lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. she was there when her son “read” to the preschoolersa memory of hers “that will never go away.”56. what did russell lyons think of his first volunteering?a. creative. b. impressive. c.persuasive. d. imaginative.57. the third paragraph is meant to _. a. indicate russell lyons is working as a volunteerb. introduce some tourist attractions across americac. appeal to volunteers to offer help to those in needd. show volunteers are needed in all parts of america58. according to paragraph 4, russell lyons is against the idea that _.a. what he has done is common b. most teens do volunteer workc. young people dont work hard d. adults prefer to be volunteers59. russell lyons has been doing volunteer work because _. a. it is necessary for college applicationsb. he ought to keep his promise to momit c. he likes the feeling of being praisedd. has become a natural part of his lifebwhen i was 12, all i wanted was a signet (图章) ring. they were the in thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. on my 13th birthday, my mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. i was in heaven.what made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being replaced. wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everythingso most of the new stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. but not my ring. my ring was new.then, only one month later, i lost it. i took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. i was sad and searched everywhere for it. but it seemed to have disappeared. eventually, i gave up and stopped looking for it. and two years later, we sold the house and moved away.years passed, and a couple of moves later, i was visiting my parents when mum told me that she had something for me. it wasnt my birthday, nor was it easter or christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. mum noticed my questioning look. youll recognize this one, she said, smiling.then she handed me a small ring box. i took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. the family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. when they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. as it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. and it still fits me.60.the underlined word in in the first paragraph probably means _.a. fashionable b. availablec. practicald. renewable61.when she got the ring back, the writer was about _.a. 13 years old b. 15 years old c. 26 years old d. 28 years old62.which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the writers family moved several times.b. the writer never stopped looking for her ring.c. the writers ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.d. the writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.63.what would be the best title for the passage?a. my new ringb. lost and replaced c. lost and foundd. an expensive ringcsome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. i would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. i did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but i gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. after all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?when i was thirteen years old, i went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. during the trip, i was busy recording every incident, name and place i came across. i felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. on my last night there, i wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. the sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. i automatically took out my penat that point, i understood that nothing i wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds i allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. all i remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations i had set down in my diary. now, i only write in my diary when i need to write down a special thought or feeling. i still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. i take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects i find really beautiful. im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when i grow old. i realize that life will simply pass me by if i stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.i dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. maybe i wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. i dont live to make memoriesi just live, and the memories form themselves.64. before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of _.a. observing her school routine b. expressing her
