A Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（扫盲志愿者）. The

24、training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three.

25、 In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didns know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule（时刻表）,she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to t

26、he supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked to

27、gether, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence(自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she

28、 began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work i

29、n learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I

30、may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 56What did the author do last summer? AShe worked in the supermarket. BShe helped someone to learn to read. CShe gave single mothers the help they needed. DShe went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer. 57Why didnt Marie go to t

31、he supermarket by bus at first? ABecause she liked to walk to the supermarket. BBecause she lived far away from the bus stop. CBecause she couldnt afford the bus ticket. DBecause she couldnt find the right bus. 58How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket? AShe knew where the

32、goods were in the supermarket. BShe asked others to take her to the right place. CShe managed to find the goods by their looks. DShe remembered the names of the goods. 59Which of the following statements is true about Marie? AMarie could do things she had not been able to do before. BMarie was able

33、to read stories with the help of her son. CMarie decided to continue her studies in school DMarie paid for her own lessons. B As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing m

34、achine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are won

35、dering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family

36、or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for a

37、n international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny（保 姆）. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both

38、earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it

39、. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.” Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. Im not r

40、eally a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children.
