But theres increasing evidence that commitment to community service is becoming much more ordinary to todays young adults. “Young adults are doing more volunteer service than in any point in history, said Scott Seider, an assistant professor of education at Boston University who studies the civic development of young adults.At Harvard, the Winthrop Street Homeless Shelter is one of 86 social service programs associated with the Phillips Brooks House Association, which is a student-run nonprofit organization. Students can work with deaf children, bring pets to nursing homes, and prepare Chinese students to become US citizens, and so on.Volunteerism develops well outside of colleges, too. Applications to AmeriCorps have risen to a very high level, jumping from 91,399 in 2008 to 258,829 in 2010. City Year, which puts young people in high-poverty schools as tutors and mentors for at-risk students, has had a 140 percent increase in applications since its 2007-2008 service year. Citizen Schools, which uses volunteers to work with students in middle schools, has had a 28 percent jump in applicants between 2008 and 2009.“Most of my friends know its their duty to give back before they settle down, said Samantha Wolf, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate serving with City Year in a Mattapan school.City Year corps member Antonio Gutierrez, 22, graduated last year from Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., and is applying for admission to law schools, but this year he is tutoring and mentoring students at the Blackstone Elementary School in the South End.“I grew up in similar circumstances, said Gutierrez, who said he was a weak student until enrichment programs changed his academic trajectory (轨迹). Raised by a single mother in low-income housing across the street from City Years South End Headquarters, he used to watch the red-jacketed corps members come and go, and decided to become one someday.51.We learn from what Scott Seider says in Paragraph 3 that young people today .A. study harder than beforeB. do more volunteering than ever before C. dont care much about others D. like to find jobs in their communities 52.Whats the goal of the program of City Year?A. It helps to find jobs for college students.B. It offers shelters to the homeless people.C. It helps to build schools for poor students.D. It engages young people to teach at high-poverty schools. 53.What do we know about Antonio Gutierrez?A. He wants to give back as a volunteer.B. He has always been an excellent student. C. He never expected to become a volunteer. D. He now works as a teacher.54.What would be the best title for the text?A. Volunteering spirit has disappeared B. How to become a college studentC. College students learn to give back D. The real life of young adults todayBThere are many things that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in many ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a schools success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students lives is immeasurable.Administrative assistants welcome students at the beginning of the day and answer a large number of questions. When an assistant remembers a students name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principals office. Cafeteria workers have a short period of time to interact with students, but can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.Custodians (管理人员) are often underappreciated for all that they give to schools. They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (复杂的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.55.If an assistant remembers a students name, the student will feel that .A. he is cared for B. he is specialC. he has done something wrong D. he has made progress in study56.Which of the following is TRUE about cafeteria workers?A. Its enough for them to cook for the students.B. Its hard for them to interact with the students.C. They can also meet the emotional needs of the students.D. They have the most interaction with students at school.57.We learn from the fourth paragraph that .A. custodians play the least important role in a schoolB. the work of custodians often goes unnoticed C. custodians should be more serious with studentsD. custodians work is always appreciated at school 58.How does the author feel about the staff mentioned in the text?A. Disappointed. B. Appreciative.C. Dissatisfied. D. Doubtful. CSmart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners. There appears a new housing platform which can detect the stress on electricity and the stress on the heart.“There is a growing population of elderly people, and there are statistics to show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,” said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who was leading the InterHome project.The system was originally designed to provide remote access (远程访问) to a house so owners could be more energy-efficient. In a small type of the system, set-in controller devices connect securely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. User feedback helps the system adapt to routines, saving on electricity.While thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband (手腕带) technology that senses important organs of the body such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said. “If someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock (休克),” he said. The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be securely transmitted to the home network and accessed by authorized users. “Were working on trying to reduce it to a level where it could potentially be a wrist-sized product,” Siau said. But he warned that the technology presented new challenges. “When you start using that on a larger scale, you have issues of privacy or security,” he said. Siau said the InterHome home system isnt intended to invade privacy. “Were thinking about the elderly people who are living alone with no one looking after them,” he said. “Hopefully this will be able to decrease some concerns and possibly save a few lives.”59.The system was first designed for a house owner to .A. keep watch on his house B. keep his house safeC. monitor the elderly people inside D. save electricity 60.The wristband technology is used in the system to .A. sense important organs of a person B. keep an old man from fallingC. get the medical information of a sick person D. record a persons daily activities 61.The researchers are now trying to make the wristband .A. more sensitiveB. be connected with the InternetC. available for common people D. suitable to wear on the wrist62.What challenges will the new technology bring according to Siau?A. The wristband can be large and expensive. B. The wristband will get false information of a person.C. It will not be used in the proper way.D. It will bring inconvenience to the old people. DVisit any junior high or high school and you will experience the power of influence. Clothing, hairstyles, attitudes and even the language are all gained by some amount of influence, whether it is from commercials, fashion, trends, celebrities or music. Teens and preteen children are influenced by these various factors. However, a childs friends are the No. 1 influence. Before you think your childrens friends could never lead one another astray (误入歧途的), think again. A child may experience an event that has caused overwhelming stress or may have problems at home or school, which causes negative behavior. Negative influences of a childs friends can come without warning. “Parents who ask their children where they are going, who they are going with and request a meeting with their childrens friends and the friends parents have already taken the first step,” says Mara Berkley, family therapist and professor at Bristol University in Rhode Island.
