6.Aside from doing schoolwork and studying,American students must also participate in various extra-curricular activities.Many students get involved in their communities by doing volunteer work at various local organizations.In fact,the school I attend even requires students to perform a certain number of hours of volunteer work per semester.It is part of our study hall(自修课) grade,as well as a graduation requirement.
There are many places to do volunteer work in the community.Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter,the community table (which provides free meals for needy families),charity(慈善) stores,and many others.Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what's available,as well as personal interests.For example,a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim.
With all these options out there,I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library.This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices,and all the profits made are donated to the local library.
I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore,because reading has always been very important to me.I love working in the bookstore now,because every sale we make helps our public library expand,and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to read,and that we each should do our part to help those who don't have the chance.There is a charity event,called One Book for A Window of Opportunity,in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping.They don't have a lot of resources,so reading can be a challenge.To find out more about this event,please visit:http://bbs.enfamily.cn/thread-739278-1-1.html.

54.This passage is written byB.
A.a Chinese student
B.an American student
C.a Chinese teacher 
D.an American teacher
55.This passage is supposed to write toC.

A.meet the graduation requirement

16.Feeling exhausted and hopeless,I began walking to my car.Every step seemed tiring,and every step was another to survive.As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me,and my anger began to return.I was annoyed by the loss,and my belief in God was beginning to fade.I couldn't understand why these things happened.So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind.Why did this happen to me?Aren't we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on?Why did I not feel her presence anymore?Is there a heaven?
Suddenly,a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts."Excuse me,excuse me,excuse me,"she said loudly.Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot,I simply pointed to my car.The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear."No,excuse me,"she said again.
At this point,I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted.As I got closer,I was startled-was this my grandmother's nurse,Adu,who lived with her during her final months?I soon realized that she wasn't,although the resemblance was unusual.Then,I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag.Surprisingly,I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching.Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag,but I wasn't.She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet."It looks like you need this,"she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.
I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read"What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?"
It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman,but by the time I looked up,she was gone.
I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind.I didn't know what it was exactly,but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didn't want to let it go.
I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page.It explained how people pass on,but their spirit remains with us.This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me,just like I had wanted.I didn't know whether to laugh or cry,but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.
I couldn't,and still can't,believe what had happened to me on that day.I don't remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing,the time of day,or even the weather,but it doesn't matter.It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again.It was real.It was a miracle.And,I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
59.The author refused to say anything to the woman but just pointed to her own car at first mainly becauseC.
A.the author did not know the woman
B.the woman interrupted the author's thoughts
C.the author thought she wanted to use the vacant parking space
D.the author was too weak to say anything
60.What can we learn about the author's grandmother?C
A.She often made the author angry.
B.She left nothing to the author.
C.She was kind to the author.
D.She lost faith in God.
61.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.The author and the woman became good friends later.
B.The woman turned out to be the author's grandmother's nurse.
C.The author knows the specific details about this experience.
D.The author was very grateful to the unknown woman.
62.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Miracle at the Parking Lot            
B.What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?
C.True Love for My Grandmother    
D.Adu,My Grandmother's Nurse.

1.Like most new fathers,Samuel Forrest was excited to meet his son,but he had no idea just how much that first meeting would change his life.
   On 21 January,baby Leo was born with Down's Syndrome(唐氏综合症).
"They took me in to see him and I looked at this guy and I said,he's beautiful,he's perfect and I'm absolutely keeping him."Forrest told ABC News.
   But Forrest's wife did not share the same feelings.She reportedly gave Forrest a deadline,saying if the father wanted to keep the baby,she would divorce him.
   Forrest,from Auckland,New Zealand,said he was unaware that hospitals in Armenia"will tell you that you don't have to keep babies with Down's Syndrome."
   He's now planning to raise Leo by himself as a single father back in his native country of New Zealand,where he can be near friends and family for support.
   The new father has created a GoFundMe page called"Bring Leo Home"to collect money for the costly move.
"This really happened to me unexpectedly,"he told ABC news."I don't have a lot.I have very little in fact."The goal is to raise enough for a year so I can get a part-time job so Leo doesn't have to be in daycare and I can help care for him."
   ABC News spoke to Leo's mother Ruzan Badalyan who said that she did have a child with Down's Syndrome and that she had left her husband.She declined to comment further.
   The father's GoFundMe page has already raised over $175,000 in just nine days.The page now states that additional funds will be given out to charity.
"We'd also like to share the extra money with the only orphanage in Armenia that regularly takes abandoned Down's Syndrome babies as well as other organizations that can help these children,"it says.
24.What was Forrest's reaction when he first saw his son?A
A.Delighted.B.Disappointed.C.Embarrassed.D.Shocked.
25.Why was Forrest's wife unwilling to keep the boy?C
A.Because her husband wanted to divorce her.
B.Because she would like to settle in New Zealand.
C.Because the baby suffered from a severe disease.
D.Because her family couldn't afford the raising cost.
26.What would Forrest do with the extra money he collected?B
A.To bring up Leo by himself.
B.To help the children with Down's Syndrome.
C.To take the money back to New Zealand.
D.To help others who work at home.
27.We can infer from the text that ForrestA.

15.The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you.Air pressure is a powerful force.When you swim underwater,you can feel water pushing on your body.The air all around you does the same.However,your body is so used to it that you do not notice this.The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere.This layer surrounds the Earth,extending to about five kilometers above the Earth's surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home.But make sure that you are supervised,because you will need to use matches.Now for the experiment!
What you need
●A hard-boiled egg without the shell
●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
●A piece of paper
●A match
Method
Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.
Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly,the egg will be sucked into the bottle.Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment.But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paper burns,it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle.The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle,so no more air can get inside.This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle.The air pressure must equalize,so more air from outside must enter the bottle.The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle!This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.
28.The experiment is carried out to proveB.
A.water pushes on your body when you swim underwater
B.the pressure of air around us has a powerful force
C.the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere
D.the air pressure is not equalized around us
29.Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?D
A.The bottle could break.
B.The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
C.The egg needs to be shelled.
D.You need to light the paper with a match.
30.In the experiment,the burning inside the bottle canA.
A.finish up the oxygen inside the bottle
B.make a seal in the neck of the bottle
C.equalize the air pressure inside and outside
D.Produce more oxygen inside the bottle
31.How did the egg get into the bottle?C
A.The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.
B.It became soft without the shell.
C.The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.
D.The neck of the bottle was wide enough.
