As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to_______out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother _______me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of_______. Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, _______for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very _______to help her bring the groceries into the house. _______I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the _______ for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt _______ about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my _______. But I also realized that once I did change, there would be no going back. _______ I took on more responsibility, my parents would start_______ more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small _______ would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more _______, caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) _______ to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the _______, I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning _______. Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and _______ back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the_______ I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could _______ on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest _______ out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.

Wisconsin has long been home to incredibly successful research and innovation thanks to our famous academic research institutions and some of the brightest scientific minds. From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to life-saving medical technologies but also have fostered (培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.
Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that are turned into new products. NIH-supported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical innovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.
Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in these new researchers.
That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation (NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative” within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate (协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation (立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.
Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many of their peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan would also increase the amount of loans that can be forgiven through the NIH’s loan repayment programs to better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.
The Next Gen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers from Maine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and development. I’m proud to have earned the support of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsin’s leadership in science, research and innovation.
At a time when America’s young researchers are facing the worst funding in decades, our best and brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed to building a stronger future.
1.Why does the author talk about Wisconsin in the first paragraph?
A. To explain why some brightest scientific minds are rewarded for making contributions.
B. To indicate Wisconsin has made great breakthroughs without the support of NIH.
C. To illustrate that Wisconsin takes a lead in scientific breakthroughs and deserves his support.
D. To distinguish Wisconsin’s achievements in science and innovation from the other states’.
2.The following are all the ways of NIH promoting America’s economic growth EXCEPT ________.
A. supporting research jobs
B. encouraging medical innovations
C. improving health and productivity
D. handling budget cuts
3.According to the passage, the introduction of the Next Gen Researchers Act is intended to ________.
A. sing high praise for the work coordinating all current and new NIH policies
B. support and invest in young researchers involved in medical innovation
C. forgive NIH’s current loan debt to make higher education more affordable
D. consider suggestions from NAS’ comprehensive study and report
4.What could be the best title of the passage?
A. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Commitment to the Next Generation of Researchers
B. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Biomedical Research and Development
C. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Next Generation Researchers Act of NIH Office
D. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Loan Repayment Programs of NIH

Terrible disasters in the last 50 or 100 years have become increasingly common. Over the last 30 years, the number of weather-related disasters has increased quickly, and the disasters have also affected more people and caused more economic loss. However, much of this could be avoided through disaster risk reduction(DRR降低灾难风险).
A meeting, held in Sendai, Japan last month, opened one day after Cyclone Pam（飓风Pam）hit Vanuatu, which struck the islands with winds of up to 340km/h and destroyed the island nation. The speech by the President of Vanuatu was given shortly after that. He begged the international community for support and stronger commitment (承诺)to helping them manage climate and disaster risks. In the face of disasters, it is always the developing countries that suffer most. Damage in these countries is often worse and unluckily, there is limited money and technique to prevent these disasters.
In fact, we have seen Asian countries-especially those that have suffered a lot in disasters can’t pay the price. Great loss Asia has suffered comes to a total of almost $ 53 billon yearly over the past 20 years.
At the same time, studies have shown once again that proper prevention saves lives and damage. With this in mind, people at the Sendai meeting were able to come up with new agreements that effective ways of disaster risk reduction will be carried out in the coming years for those who easily get damaged in disasters.
1.According to the first paragraph, disasters ________.
A. can all be prevented
B. have become more frequent
C. are all weather-related ones
D. affect fewer people than before
2.We can know from the passage that_______.
A. The Sendai meeting was held one day after a cyclone hit Vanuatu
B. Vanuatu was terribly destroyed by an earthquake
C. The president of Vanuatu begged his country to prevent the disaster
D. Vanuatu is a small island in Japan
3.Which of the following can be the title of this news report?
A. Proper ways that save lives and damage have come up.
B. The Sendai meeting has made new commitments.
C. Natural disasters have become more common.
D. Some natural disasters can be reduced and avoided.
