I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate ( 捐赠 ) to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals. However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector (非盈利部门), I also feel deeply anxious (焦急的) because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these key programs that provide food to residents (居民) in need are eager for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to make sure that programs are able to serve the community. At Food For Free, we depend on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who depend on our Family Meals program to support their healthy growth, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, they all depend on us making sure enough volunteers show up to do the work. These volunteers dont show up in your social media system, they dont win prizes and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too. If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more trust-worthy volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer positions. Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing important work in Cambridge to make sure the food to be safe. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful, and I am quite sure that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.Food For Free: /volunteer.CEOC: /food-pantry.Harvard Square Homeless Shelter: /volunteer.Community Cooks: /join-us.Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House: 31 .

In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out onechild policy (政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, twochild policy is put into effect. In my opinion, twochild policy is good. First of all, twochild policy is the gift for the only child (独生子女). For some families, maybe the parents are the only child and they can also have only one child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child will marry an only child girl; the burden(负担) on their child and his wife will be too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually its a little difficult for a young couple to look after an old couple. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, twochild policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.All in all, onechild policy has been out of date. And twochild policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of the present and the future.35 . Which country has the largest population in the world?AAmerica.BBritain.CChina.DJapan.36 . The underlined phrase “carried out” in Paragraph 1 means “_” in Chinese.A携带B取消C禁止D实行37 . Our government carried out onechild policy before in order to _.Asolve the population problemBtake care of two old couplesCshare the burden of taking care of their parentsDargue that two-child policy should be put into effect38 . According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?AIts easy for a young couple to look after two old couples.BOne child policy has its advantages and disadvantages.CAmerica is a country with the largest population in the world.DOne child policy is carried out after 2016 in China.39 . Whats the main idea of this passage?ATwo-child policy is needed and necessary.BOur government carried out threechild policy.CTwo-child policy is the gift for all families in Britain.DTwo-child policy is a new burden.六、用单词的正确形式完成短文AharderBkeep healthyCsportsDtheyEwithFforGteacherWe got more than 1,000 letters, faxes (传真) and e-mails from our readers about their New Years resolutions(决心).

But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house materials” containing moveable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still be done but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians wont disappear because machines cant take the place of them. We will still have teachers because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays wont be for everyone because they wont be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then hotels will move around the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with things needed for families.There will be no paper in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to protect nature. E-newspapers and e-magazines will take the place of traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our re-useable paper.As we know, the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isnt going to happen tomorrow but scientists say that it will happen in five billion years. We will have to find another home. At sometime in the future far away, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another plant. There wont be any other choice.Title: Tomorrows46 .
