Many grow up without fathers and in neighborhoods with gangs, drugs and violence. Sixty percent of those who drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thirty-five.Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco, California, twenty-three years ago. Mr. Marshall tries to give boys and girls a safe refuge and a chance at a better future. Every week, he has two basic messages for his young students: Stop the violence and Dont do drugs.Mr. Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college. He got a lot of horror stories a lot of his former students ended up dead or in prison for selling drugs, being involved in gangs, and girls ended up getting pregnant（怀孕）. The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year. Two times a week, it offers after-school classes in math, reading, family and life skills, and college preparation.Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem. Thats what these young people get. They develop a street mentalityanger, fear and pain. Then we tell them to follow some new rules for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying alive and free.But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio. In 1991, Joe Marshall started “Street Soldiers,” a weekly call-in show. Marlena, one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Club, is at Southern University right now, going into her third year. She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega, by listening to “Street Soldiers,” and she said she had learned how to love herself.The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help students stay in school. Over ninety percent of members who were accepted into college have graduated.41. The passage is mainly about_.A. what problems many young black men are faced withB. how Mr. Marshall helps his students to go to collegeC. why many young black men end up in prisonD. how an organization helps young black people42. The passage mentioned Marlena in order to _.A. showcase the success of the Clubs effort B. invite girls to attend the after-school classesC. highlight the failure of normal schoolsD. prove the importance of after-school classes 43. “Street Soldiers” is _ .A. an armed force B. a gang of blacksC. a TV program D. a radio program44. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The Omega Boys Club help the government to keep male students at school.B. Gangs and violence are public health problems that need to be dealt with.C. The Club offers after-school classes in basic knowledge and living skills.D. Over ninety percent of the members have graduated from college.BCar crashes are the top killer of American teenagers. Most of the crashes result from distracted driving not paying attention to the road.Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree. He was one of the nations more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008. Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty.Ryans father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Maryland. It was an inexperienced, immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids. He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured. He shares the story of his sons death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving.Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving. If youre texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isnt.Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem. For example, the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers. At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children. He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road. Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll. Thats what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive.Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving and not just because they lack experience on the roads. According to the research, teens dont really have fully developed brains until theyre twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system. Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers. They could not get a full drivers license until age eighteen.45. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage?A. Car Crashesthe Top Killer B. Drunken DrivingC. Distracted Driving D. How to Avoid Car Crashes46. According to Jim Jennings, what might be the main cause of distracted driving accidents?A. Speed. B. Age. C. Experience. D. Cell-phones. 47. Which of the following statements is true?A. Thomas Didone is responsible for his son Ryans death.B. The insurance companies benefit a lot from teen driving.C. Kevin Schumann took the test to learn the risk of texting while driving. D. Debbie Pickford thinks that people cannot drive until brains are fully developed.48. According to the new law, _.A. it will be harder for young people to get a full drivers licenseB. people will not be allowed to touch the wheel until they are 18C. young people are forbidden to take any passengers in their carsD. people cant drive until they graduate from colleges or universities。CHospitals not only treat infections they can also cause them.In the United States alone, the number of infections in hospitals is estimated at close to two million each year. About one hundred thousand patients die.A new government report notes that very little progress has been made in reducing what are called health care-associated infections. The most common are infections of the urinary tract(尿路), surgical site and bloodstream.Many infections have been increasing even as hospitals have made efforts to improve. About forty percent of all health care-associated infections are linked to the use of catheters. A tube is placed inside the body to collect urine（尿液）, so the patient does not have to get out of bed.But the latest report says urinary tract infections after surgery increased more than three and a half percent. It says catheters should be used only if necessary.Another way to prevent infections is to give patients antibiotics before surgery. Doctors are advised to give them within the hour before the operation. Patients who get antibiotics earlier than one hour are more likely to get an infected surgical wound. Also, doctors are advised to discontinue the antibiotics within twenty-four hours after the surgery. The report says longer than that is usually not necessary. It can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.Kathleen Sebelius is secretary of health and human services. She noted that racial and ethnic minorities were less likely to have insurance and less likely to get the treatments they needed. She called the report numbers troubling.But she also said the health care reforms passed by Congress will improve the quality of care for all Americans. She said the new law will reward quality over quantity of care, creating a system that prevents diseases before more costly treatment is required.49.What do we learn about healthcare-associated infections from this passage?A. It is a new disease that is discovered by American doctors.B. It is not reported in other countries but the United States.C. It is connected with what doctors do to treat their patients.D. It is so deadly that it kills two million people every year. 50. In this passage antibiotics are used to _.A. reduce pain B. prevent infectionsC. shorten operation time D. make patients sleep51. From the last paragraph but one we know Kathleen Sebelius is_.A. very optimistic about the situationB. quite worried about the minoritiesC. suffering from the infection herselfD. blaming doctors for their slow response 52. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Antibiotics may be the most effective way to resist infection after surgery.B. Some ethnic minorities without insurance are in need of basic treatments.C. Hospitals are where infections are least likely to take place.D. Hospitals have made great progress in reducing healthcare-associated infections.DI left baseball, not for physical reasons but because it was my season for change. So I decided to walk away and once I did, like the vast majority of players, I was lost. It would be the first time since I learned to swing a bat that I would spend an entire summer without ever putting on a uniform. Once you leaves the pitch its no longer you against that fastball, it is you against yourself.So you swim around trying to figure out what young, retired baseball players do with their lives. For me, the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father, who could communicate with me with just a nod of his head, but he passed away two years ago.Since my retirement, I have searched for the next passion. It is a discouraging journey, and many players never find that next love, even though they kept looking. Of course my father could never be replaced. His passion was writing. He left behind a body of poetry that guides me now. I didnt stay lost forever. I found something that I wasnt looking for: a voice through writing. Writing introduced me to people who were otherwise strangers and made them guests at my table. Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way. A way that led me to connect to a passion I didnt realize we both shared.After my first book was published, I realized that writing was passion and even therapy(疗法), but now I also thought that maybe Id found my next profession.Thankfully, I always knew my father was proud of me. But despite living the dream of so many Americans and reaching its highest level, I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of what I am doing with my words. Words that I can leave for my son to read one day.53. Why couldnt his father offer him any help at the moment?A. Because his father had been dead for two years. B. Because his father was busy writing poems.C. Because his father was away on business.D. Because his father had a head injury two years ago.54. How did the author get over the most difficult time in life?A. By swimming the entire summer. B. By communicating with his father face to face.C. By turning to his friend for help. D. By reading his fathers works and writing his own.55. According to the passage, the author was most likely to become a_.A. reporter B. writer C. coach D. player56. The author picked up writing as a career mainly because_.A. he co
