I was in the college when my father passed away. One evening, a man visited me and after a while, he asked of my studies. I told him I could not go to college so I did not want to study anymore. He reminded how my father had sent me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill his father's dream or did I want to be calling a failure? I wept and said I do want to do my best and I just couldn't concentrate. He gave me all the encouragements I needed to be able to carry on. His calming, gently voice did wonders and I decided to study harder and complete my graduation early.

One day Thomas Alva Edison was given a letter by his teacher. His teacher asked him to give it to his mother. Edison thought it was something nice. After he returned home, he proudly gave it to his mother, saying “My teacher let me give this letter to you.”
Not knowing what it was, Edison’s mother opened it, and then her eyes opened wide. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her son and read out the letter aloud, “Your child is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself.”
The fact was that Edison liked asking strange questions in class. His teachers thought he was mentally ill. They could no longer stand him and decided to stop him from going to school. However, Edison’s mother didn’t give up on her son. She taught him at home.
Many years after Edison’s mother died and he was already one of the greatest inventors, one day he was looking through the old family things. Suddenly he saw a piece of folded paper in the corner of a drawer. He took it and opened it up. It read, “Your son is addled (mentally ill). We won’t let him come to school any more.”
Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child, but, by his hero mother, he becomes the genius of the century.”
Having faith in those we love is very important. We should have faith in those around us. Even if others have given upon you, you should have faith in yourself.

A young man named Ted received a high-priced car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Ted came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Ted?” he asked.
Ted answered, “Yes, my brother gave it for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Ted knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Ted greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Ted looked at the boy in surprise, and then said, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love that.”

Ted smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Ted was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Ted heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

SAN FRANCISCO—Only 21 percent of workers worldwide are “engaged”—that's the word used to describe workers who are ready to expend some extra effort at work—while 38 percent are disengaged, according to a new survey.
“Engagement is not satisfaction or happiness, but the degree to which workers connect to the company emotionally, and the degree to which workers are aware of what they need to do to add value and are willing to take that action," said Julie Gebauer, a managing director of Towers Perrin, a consulting firm, which surveyed almost 90,000 workers in 19 countries.
“Happy employees don't necessarily create better financial results, but there is a definite link between engagement and a company's financial performance,” Gebauer said.
The survey found 21 percent of workers worldwide are engaged, and another 41 percent are “enrolled”, which means they're on the road to engagement.
More than 80 percent of the engaged employees say they contribute to the quality of company products, services and customer satisfaction, while only 40 percent of disengaged workers agree.
Engagement helps retention(留置) too. About 50 percent of engaged employees say they have no plans to leave their company versus 15 percent of the disengaged.
“The fact that almost 80 percent of workers are disengaged is likely costing companies money." Gebauer said.
“The conception of engagement is really a financial issue," said Gebauer. ‘Organizations that have employees that are highly engaged deliver better financial results than those that don't."
In a separate study, Towers Perrin assessed data on 40 global companies over a three-year period, measuring employee engagement at a certain point and then looking at the companies' financial results over the following three years.
Companies with highly motivated workers enjoyed a 3.7 percent increase in profits, while companies with a lower level of worker commitment saw a decrease in profits slightly.
What makes for an engaged employee? It's not necessarily pay. While the level of pay is important, it's not among the top 10 drivers of engagement. Rather than only using the pay, companies should survey their work force, much as they might study their customers, to assess what employees are seeking.
1.The underlined word “enrolled” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. engagedB. disengaged
C. over-engagedD. not yet but to be engaged
2.According to the text, among 500 disengaged employees, how many would probably have the intention of leaving their company?
A. 50.B. 75.C. 250.D. 425.
3.What would probably be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. The top ten drivers of engagement.
B. The reason to encourage engagement.
C. The importance of the pay level in engagement.
D. The survey of work force in a company.

OSLO ( Reuters) -Six of the world's eight bear species are under threat of extinction after the addition yesterday of the sun bear, the world's smallest type of bear, to a "Red List" which says China's panda is most at risk. The sun bear is threatened partly by poachers(偷猎者) who sell its bile(胆汁)as medicine, said the World Conservation Union which runs the list of the threatened wildlife.
"Things are getting worse for all the bear species except the American black bear which is unquestionably increasing," said Simon Smart, senior species adviser for the Union.
The addition of the sun bear to the authoritative "Red List" after a major review means the American black bear and the brown bear, found from Europe to Alaska, are the only two of eight species still considered robust(强的) . The sun bear, found in Asia from Bangladesh to Borneo and weighing up to about 70kg, was rated "vulnerable(脆弱的) " by experts at the Union,which consists of more than 80 governments, conservation groups and scientists. The union said there were several thousand sun bears in the wild. "We estimate that sun bears have declined by at least 30 percent over the past 30 years, and continue to decline at this speed," said Ron Steinmetz, head of the Swiss- based Union's sun bear expert team.
Scientists did not change the level of threat to any bear species (except sun bears). Deforestation, loss of habitat to roads and cities and poaching are among risks. The Asian black bear, the sloth bear and the Andean bear were all proved again as vulnerable after reassessment of land-living bears. The polar, the only species not reassessed, is separately rated as vulnerable. Pandas were regarded again as endangered, one step closer to extinction than vulnerable, in spite of China's protection efforts for the bamboo-eaters.
1.How many kinds of threats are particularly mentioned to bear species?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
2.According to the text, pandas.
A. are in the greatest danger of extinction on the "Red List"
B. are in less danger of extinction now with the China's protection efforts
C. are one step closer to extinction than ever before
D. are not among the 8 bears mentioned in the text
3.We can infer from the text that .
A. the World Conservation Union is not in charge of protecting wildlife in the world
B. pandas are rated as endangered after the reassessment
C. there are several kinds of land-living bears in the world
D. sun bears remain " vulnerable ", compared with 30 years ago

For years, scientists and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage (CCS).
That is the term for removing carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) from, say, a coal-burning power plant’s smokestack and pumping it deep underground to keep it out of the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming.
However, currently, only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale (and it has been having problems). Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous or liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere. So storage sites would have to be monitored, potentially for decades or centuries.
But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store CO2 that might eliminate that problem. Their approach involves dissolving the gas with water and pumping the resulting mixture — soda water, essentially — down into certain kinds of rocks, where the CO2 reacts with the rock to form a mineral called calcite(方解石). By turning the gas into stone, scientists can lock it away permanently. Volcanic rocks called basalts(玄武岩) are excellent for this process, because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO2.
The project called CarbFix started in Iceland, 2012, when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide, mixed with water, about 1,500 feet down into porous basalt. Early signs were encouraging: The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite. And even more importantly, they wrote, the change happened relatively quickly — in less than two years.
“It’s beyond all our expectations,” said Edda Aradottir, who manages the project. Rapid change of the CO2 means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.
There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming. For one thing, it would have to be scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed — 25 tons of it for every ton of CO2 — along with the right kind of rock.
But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland, including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents. And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.
1.What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO2 is pumped underground.
B. It’s been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO2 underground.
C. There is no guarantee that CO2 will not escape even if pumped underground.
D. It requires decades to turn CO2 into liquid form and be locked underground.
2.What materials should be involved in the project CarbFix?
A. Water, CO2, soda water and basalts.
B. Water, CO2, a pump and basalts.
C. CO2, basalts, a pump and calcite.
D. Water, soda water, a pump and calcite.
3.According to Edda Aradottir, the result of the project was beyond the researchers’ expectations, because ________.
A. it’s disappointing to discover new problems caused by rapid change
B. it’s exciting to sense the problem of storing CO2 likely to be solved
C. it’s puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the project
D. it’s amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fast
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show the different ways to fight against CO2.
B. To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO2.
C. To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO2.
D. To urge people to produce the least possible CO2.

Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important periods in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspects of that poem resonates(引起共鸣)with you．In the same way，you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students．
Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past．Thus，it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches．The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul．
As one of the oldest art forms，poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity(人性)from one generation to another．Referring to poetry，Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement，“With this key mankind unlocked his heart．”
School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves，their students and their staff members．Beyond the simple use of poetry，techniques of poetry such as metaphors，repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication，create meaning and a culture of care and attention．
Since schools are mainly about people and relationship，school leaders，like poets，are required to inspire and encourage the human heart．The use of poetry—or even of some techniques of poetry—in school leadership not only helps to improve communication，but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration．
1.Who is the passage mainly for？
A．Students． B．School teachers．
C．School leaders． D．Poets．
