recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and they didn t think I had a lot longer to live But during a later visit to the doctor his family learned the hole had closed Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid Fujiyama says And I had a second chance During his second year at the University of Mary Washington he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance Today his organization StudentsStudents HelpingHelping HondurasHonduras brings education and community projects to children and families in need He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs When I had my very first meeting only two people showed up he says I knew I had to keep fighting He persuaded his younger sister Cosmo to join the cause She s dynamite He says When she talks in front of a crowd she can move mountains Knowing that she was behind it I knew I could do anything Since 2006 the siblings organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than 750 000 to fund projects including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organization They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds Cosmo Fujiyama 23 lives in Honduras full time to coordinate 协调 the group s building efforts on the ground StudentsStudents HelpingHelping HondurasHonduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998 A lot of them didn t have access to clean water or health care and they didn t have a school Fujiyama s group helped build 44 homes in the village named Sunshine Village The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower an eco friendly sanitation system and a library 56 At the beginning of his organization A Fujiyama was supported by many friends B things didn t go on smoothly C Fujiyama had little idea of Honduras D many famous people joined in 57 We can infer that Fujiyama is a man 6 A diligent B mean C sympathetic D cheerful 58 The underlined word siblings can be replaced by A brothers B brother and sister s C friends D couple s 59 Which of the following is the best title for the passage A Help the people in need B Students lend a hand in America C Fujiyama helps build Sunshine Village D Fujiyama gives poor people in Honduras a second chance B A new report says only about half of all students in the main school systems of America s largest cities finish high school The report notes higher rates of graduation over 70 in areas surrounding the cities Researchers studied high school graduation rates from the 2003 2004 school year They also identified the nation s fifty largest cities The largest New York City had a population of more than eight million The smallest city was Wichita Kansas It had about three hundred and sixty thousand people Researchers used a system of measurement called the cumulative promotion index to find graduation rates School officials in many of the cities studied said the resulting numbers were too low That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates Critics say many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who leave high school before finishing Other studies have put the national graduation rate at about 70 But experts agree that too many students are not completing high school They estimate the number at more than one million each year The report was prepared for America s Promise Alliance The private group aims to help children receive services they need to succeed General Colin Powell was chairman of America s Promise Alliance when it was formed in 1997 He attended the press conference Tuesday where the report was released He said studies have shown that the US must do more to educate the leaders and work force of the future Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke She said the government will propose that states use the same methods when reporting graduation rates Alliance officials also announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates It is to include a series of meetings to be held in every state over the next two years The meetings will bring together elected leaders business owners students parents and education officials They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school 60 The author wants to tell us A too many Americans do not finish high school B different methods to find graduation rates C services American children need to receive D the increase of the number of Americans who finish their high school 7 61 From Paragraph 1 we can infer that A there are 8 360 000 people in the US fifty largest cities B Wichita in Kansas is the smallest city in the US C 50 of the people in the US don t finish their high school education D high school graduation rates in or near the biggest cities are higher 62 The underlined word picture probably can be replaced by A situation B scene C image D mood 63 From the last paragraph we can draw a conclusion that A secretary of Education Margaret Spellings didn t believe that number from the report B the government will stop using the cumulative promotion index to find graduation rates C secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates D the low graduation rates should be paid attention to by the government and the society C Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years but the depression has been harder on men In October the unemployment rate for men was almost eleven percent compared to eight percent for women Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts For example manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth Both of those industries employ high percentages of women Thirty years ago women earned sixty two cents for every dollar that men earned Now for those who usually work full time women earn about eighty percent of what men earn And women hold fifty one percent of good paying management and professional jobs Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred large companies in California The results have remained largely unchanged in live years of studies from the University of California Davis Also a new research paper in the journal SexSex RolesRoles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control though not all wanted it But they also felt pressure worry and guilt Partly that was because of cultural expectations that working women will still take care of the children Also men who are not the main earners may feel threatened The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year s financial 8 crash Now a judgment has been reached in the first case involving charges of criminal wrongdoing on Wall Street Last week the government lost its case against two managers at Bear Stearns the first investment bank to fail last year A jury found Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin not guilty of lying to investors The hedge funds they supervised lost their value in two thousand seven But jurors said there was no clear evidence that they meant to mislead investors The Justice Department continues to investigate other companies 64 Why is the unemployment rate for men higher A Because there are more men workers in industries B Because many industries mainly employing men now don t need so many workers C More and more women take the place of men D Because health care and temporary employment services don t employ men 65 It can be inferred from the passage that A women haven t got complete equality as men B only by becoming the main earners in their family can women gain a high position C all women now value independence and the power of control D taking care of children is now shared by men and women 66 Which of the following is TRUE A Men hate that women earn more money B It is commonly believed that women should take care of children C The job market has recovered from the effect of the financial crisis D Now women working full time earn more than men 67 Why does the government accuse two managers A They contributed to the financial crash B They led a corrupt life C They lied to investors D A jury found them misleading investors D Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey I ve never watched her show but when a self made billionaire gives life advice it s probably worth listening to Her point is that blind luck is very rare You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you If you re a Chinese you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump 树桩 for a rabbit to run out and break its neck A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman called TheThe LuckLuck FactorFactor argues we can all make ourselves luckier It s not about going to a temple to burn some incense 香 hopes that the gods will give you good fortune it s practical advice you can follow each day Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies First he divided volunteers into two groups those who said they were lucky in life and those who 9 said they were not He gave everyone a newspaper and asked the
