5．Despite lots of advantages，there are somedrawbacks（缺陷）in modern teaching mode．

4．Managers were willing to enlarge their businesses when theyforesaw（预见）growth in earnings．

3．In colleges around the country，most students are also workers．
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television．Instead of the students who wake up late，party all the time，and study only before exams，many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities，but real jobs，too．
This isn't a temporary phenomenon．The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s，and one-fifth of students work year round．About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job．The arrangement can help pay for tuition （学费） and living costs，obviously．And there's value in it beyond the direct cause：such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation．With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets，on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on．
But it's not all upside．Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses．The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage，they would earn just over $15，000 each year，certainly not enough to pay for tuition，room，and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid．That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom，many working students will still graduate with at least some debt．And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all，by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes．
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college．Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all．The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits．

2．How can we get rid of garbage？Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs？
These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an energy source，and at the same time，it can save the land to hold garbage．
For a long time，people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land．Now，empty land is scarce．But more and more garbage is produced each year．However，garbage can be a good fuel to use．The things in garbage do not look like coal，petroleum，or natural gas； but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels．As we use up our fossil fuel supplies，we might be able to use garbage as an energy source．
Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States，have been burning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings．In Paris France，some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city garbage each year．The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil．
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs．This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth．

54．What two problems can man solve by burning garbage？B
A．The shortage of energy and air pollution
B．The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage
C．Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel
D．Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage
55．According to the passage which of the following is NOT true？D
A．About 2million metric tons of garbage are burned in Paris，France each year．
B．In a modern society，more and more garbage is produced each year．
C．Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage．
D．It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source．
56．What is the author's attitude？C
A．Negative
B．Indifferent
C．Agreeing
D．Disagreeing．

1．The new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito Elementary School，in San Rafael，California．The last three of the school's 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks．"It's now the first all-standing school，"Juliet Starrett told TFK．She started the group Stand Up Kids．Her goal is to have every U．S．public school kid using a standing desk within the next10years．
Starrett's daughters-Georgia，10，and Caroline，7-attend Vallecito．They are thrilled with their desks．"You feel happier，you're less tired，and you're more active，"Georgia says．
Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars．The bars let kids move in a way that doesn't disturb the class．Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily．The desks also adjust to different heights．Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor or on stools．
There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use．According to Mark Benden，director of the Texas A&M Center，standing workers are more focused and healthier．He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories．In December，researchers in New Zealand，Australia，and the United Kingdom released similar findings．But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting．Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful．And standing desks are more expensive．
Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height．"Our message should not be‘Sit less，stand more，'"he says，"but‘Sit less，move more．'"

51．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？C
A．Why standing desks are used．
B．Where standing desks are used．

B．are more focused
C．get better scores
D．tend to eat more
53．Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks mayC．
A．disturb the kids in class
B．leave the classroom noisy
C．harm the students'health
D．increase the teachers'workload．

1．简述该演讲的内容；
2．谈谈该演讲令你印象深刻的缘由．
I have read the article‘I Have a Dream'．Iam encouraged by Martin Luther King's passion．"I Have a Dream"is a world-famous speech，in which he claimed racial equality and an end to discrimination．‘I Have a Dream'is often considered to be one of the greatest and most notable speeches in human history．It was one of hope for everyone，not just the black race people．He stood up for and protested the injustice and unfair treatment of the Black Race，but also asked us to forgive and display harmony with all races．
Nowadays，Many of us have forgot how we should stand together as people，support each other，respect each other and truly love one another． Martin Luther Kingreminds us about what he did for our and to continue his dream of peace，love and justice．Now people can live and work side by side without regards to color or race because of Dr．Martin．It is in this very moment that we can say to ourselves how lucky all of us are for having the chance to live in his dream．I Love Martin Luther King，He is a man as great as his dream．．
