When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read “Goodnight Moon” to a class of San Diego preschoolers. And it wasn’t reading — he’d memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. He was 4. Still, he said it felt good there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. He wanted more of that feeling.
Thirteen years later, he’s getting a lot of it. He’s on a five-month road trip across America — not sightseeing, but volunteering.
The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women’s shelter in St. Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson. This week he’s in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.
“I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual. It bothers him that the media often describe young people as lazy, self-centered. So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate for adults” he said, according to a 2002 study. “Not everybody knows that. ”
Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his applications. But charity work is a habit with him. Even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering about 200 hours a year at various places. He’s made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C. He’s taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
He gets some of that drive from his mother, Lesley Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers — a memory of hers “that will never go away.”
1.What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering?
A. Creative.B. Impressive. C. Persuasive. D. Imaginative.
2. The third paragraph is meant to________.
A. show Russell Lyons is working as a volunteer
B. introduce some tourist attractions across America
C. call on volunteers to offer help to those in need
D. show volunteers are needed in all parts of America
3. According to Paragraph 4，Russell Lyons is against the idea that____.
A. what he has done is common
B. most teens do volunteer work
C. young people don’t work hard
D. adults prefer to be volunteers
4. Russell Lyons has been doing volunteer work because_______.
A. it is necessary for college applications
B. he ought to keep his promise to Mom
C. he likes the feeling of being praised
D. it has become a natural part of his life
5.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Lesley Lyons is too busy to look after her son.
B. Russell Lyons is greatly influenced by his mother.
C. Lesley Lyons almost earns no money all her life.
D. Children are always important to their parents.

My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”
“What is it?” I asked.
“To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”
“But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
1.I wished to get out of the house because __________.
A. I was eager to have fun with my best friend
B. I found nobody to share my feelings with
C. I wanted to escape from the dark house
D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
2. Grandpa was happy to see me because __________.
A. he could discuss the problem with me
B. he had not seen me for a long lime
C. he was afraid of darkness
D. he felt quite lonely
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The grandchild was eager to leave.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
1.From the text we know that windmills__________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
C. have a history of more than 2,800 years
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
2.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A. Producing electricity.
B. Sailing a boat.
C. Grinding wheat into flour.
D. Pumping water from ground.
3.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that______.
A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. wind power is cleaner
4.The passage is mainly about______________.
A. the global pollution from burning coal and gas
B. the worldwide movement to save energy
C. the history of using wind power
D. the advantages of windmills

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest (投资) it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (利息). That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
1. Parents give their children allowance to ________.
A. show off their wealth
B. let them make more money
C. let children manage family finance
D. learn the value of money
2. Why are parents advised not to offer young children more money in advance?
A. To show them how to make a budget.
B. To save money for larger costs.
C. To let children make fewer mistakes
D. To give them more allowance next time.
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Children need not save their allowance.
B. Saving can help children plan future finance.
C. Children can buy everything with their allowance.
D. All children must have a savings account.
4. The author intends to ________.
A. make parents aware of the children’s allowances
B. show the methods of investing
C. give advice on how to save money
D. introduce the advantages of allowances
