Ideas to Make Your School a Green Campus

Universities are doing every thing they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more eco-friendly.

Recycle everything, especially paper!

There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through per semester.   36   We know that these things can’t be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.

Buy green.

  37   Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be purchased as recycled goods. They’re slightly more expensive than the normal products, but it’s worth it to make a green campus.  

Walk and bike to school. 

Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transit.   38   Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university. 

   39  .

    A water bottle can be refilled at any water fountain and can easily be drank in class or while riding a bike. This will save the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic waste on your campus.

Buy used clothing.

It is usually thought of as something to do to save money.   40   Recycling clothes minimizes the use of resources to make clothing and puts a dent in the problem of worldwide sweatshops.

A. Carry a water bottle.

B. It is also good for the environment!

C. Buy recycled goods as much as possible.

D. Paper made of this kind wood is much stronger.

E. On top of that, almost all universities are pedestrian friendly.

F. It includes class notes, term papers, student newspapers and so on.

G. Universities call on all the students to learn to recycle all the waste paper.

    The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the Internet. Yet, time travel in China is a bit different from time travel in common sense. It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time. There is minimum imagination involved--no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty--whatever century, everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．

    It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer to it as time crossover. Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years (in fact, it is an indispensable part of China's online culture), and didn't get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years. Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books．

    The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody. Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams.

    In China, there is no need of time machine either. People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror. Some time-travel novels even start with ''I wanted togo back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back.'' Technology is not relevant at all．

    Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender thing．If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty. A typical example is A Step Into the Past (寻秦记), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty.

    On the other hand, female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with. YongZheng Emperor is the favorite. As can be seen in Startling by Each Step (步步惊心), a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with YongZheng Emperor and his brothers．

   B．show the difference between time travel in China and in other cultures

   B．the main character always follows a set pattern in the time-travel TV dramas in China

   C．adapted from online novels, time-travel TV and movie productions enjoy more praise

A California man who was feeling sick almost died recently from a shocking cause.

   26-year-old Luis Ortiz went to a hospital because of a headache and nausea(恶心，作呕). When doctors examined him, they were shocked to find a tapeworm larva(绦虫幼虫) in his brain. The story gets stranger. The larva was still alive.

The creature had caused a cyst(囊肿) to form inside his head. The cyst was restricting the flow of liquids to different areas of his brain. The situation was so serious that doctors said they had to perform an emergency operation to remove the larva.

A doctor who operated on Ortiz told him he had only 30 minutes to live. When the doctor pulled the worm out of his head, it was still moving.

Luis Ortiz was a student at California State University in Sacramento. He began experiencing headaches in late August. But Ortiz said he did not think the headaches were serious.

In September, he visited a friend and his parents in another city. That is when the pain got worse. His mother saw Ortiz throwing up and took him to a hospital emergency room.

The doctors saved Ortiz's life. However, the surgery also affected him. Ortiz had to drop out of school and move back home. For now, he is not permitted to work or drive a vehicle.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the U.S. has about 1,000 reported cases of tapeworms each year. The CDC adds that tapeworms are more common in developing countries with poor public health systems.

The best way to avoid a tapeworm infection (感染)is to wash fruits and vegetables. Also, make sure meat is cooked thoroughly. The CDC suggests cooking all meats to an internal temperature of at least 63 degrees Celsius.

Whitebait(银鱼) is the name we give to four different kinds of very small native fish. The most common whitebait is  73  (call) inanga in Maori. It is only about 5 or 6 cm long so you need quite a lot to make a meal.  74  , it is hard to catch and expensive to buy. You can only catch whitebait for 3 or 4 months of the year because some kinds are  75  (endanger). September 1^st is the beginning of the season for people  76  (live) on the West Coast of the South Island. The season finishes in  77  middle of November.

   This is the time when whitebait return to the rivers to lay their eggs after six months in the sea. People catch them in the mouth of the river. People  78  fish for whitebait are called whitebaiters. There are many rules. Whitebaiters use nets which they put in the river  79  they have to stay close by. Sometimes they catch nothing. If they catch a cupful of whitebait, they feel  80  (luck). This is why whitebait are so expensive to buy.

   If someone  81  (give) you some whitebait, you can make whitebait fritters(细片). You use  82  (egg) and a little flour, add the whitebait and cook this like a pancake.

   In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later, I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. 
        My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. 
        Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic -- and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. 
        You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo -- a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. 
        The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. 
        In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
        I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

66. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.

A. a writer   B. a teacher   C. a judge   D. a doctor

67. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?

A. She wanted to study by herself.      B. She fell in love and got married.

68. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?

A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.    B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.

C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.  D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.
69. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
   A. Failure is the mother of success.    B. Little by little, one goes far.
   C. Every coin has two sides.         D. Well begun, half done.

Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It's very likely that you'll want to have volunteers to help with the organization's activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.

Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.

     People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people's wish of participation from an internal factor (e. g. , “I volunteer because it's important to me”) to an external factor ( e. g. ,“I volunteer because I'm required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.

    Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.

     Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am. ” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.

25．People volunteer mainly out of       .

A．academic requirements           B．social expectations

C．financial rewards               D．internal needs

26．What can we learn from the Florida study?

A．Follow-up studies should last for one year.

B．Volunteers should get mentally prepared.

C．Strategy training is a must in research.

D．Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.

27．What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?

A．Individual differences in role identity.

B．Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.

C．Role identity as a volunteer.  

D．Practical advice from researchers.

28．What is the best title of the passage?

A．How to Get People to Volunteer.  

B．How to Study Volunteer Behaviors.

C．How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest.  

D．How to Organize Volunteer Activities.

Most people who enjoy movies do not really care how they are made. They want to enjoy a good story. Movie producer and director George Lucas wants people to see the best-made movie possible. So, his latest Star Wars movie was made without using film, Shep O’Neal explains.

“Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was made using digital cameras. A digital camera does not use traditional film. It seizes a picture on videotape. The pictures recorded on videotape are then placed in a computer.

George Lucas says that using digital cameras permits him to have much more control over the final product. For example, the picture can be changed after it is placed in a computer. An expert can change color, add or take out objects, add people or beings who are not real.

Much of what is seen in the new “Star Wars” movie is not real. Huge buildings, spacecraft and alien beings from other worlds were produced in a computer. The effects then were added to each part of the movie.

Movie experts say digital technology is the real future of the picture industry. A theater will no longer have to wait days or weeks to show a new movie. Theaters will be able to receive copies of new movies by linking computers. Or they will use small computer disks to get a copy of the movie.

When the new Star Wars movie began to be shown last month, only 94 theaters around the world had the digital equipment needed to show it. So Mr. Lucas’ company produced about 6,000 copies of the new digital movie on traditional film for most theaters. However, most people who have seen the movie say these film copies are of much better quality than other filmed movies.

Critics say the new digital technology is very costly. Many theater owners will not buy the new technology, yet many of the people who worked on the new Star Wars movie say they would not like to work with film again. They said using digital equipment was faster, and videotape is much less costly than film. One cameraman said the director of a movie can immediately see what was just recorded, something impossible to do with film.

      Those who have worked with the new digital method of making movies say the new Star Wars movie is only the beginning. They say movies may quickly become all digital.

67. Why did Lucas’ company produce 6,000 copies of the new digital movie on traditional film for most theaters?

A. Because the company wanted more theaters to show its digital movie.

B. Because those theaters didn’t have computers linked to the company.

C. Because those theaters didn’t have the digital equipment needed to show it.

D. Because the audience say these film copies are better than other filmed movies.

68. Which of the following shows the right order of producing a digital movie?

     a. An expert transfers the pictures into a computer.

     b. An expert adds the effects to each part of the movie.

c. An expert adds or takes out objects and adds unreal people or beings.

     d. A cameraman uses a digital camera to seize pictures on videotape.

A. abcd                              B. dacb                       C. acdb                       D. dcab

69. Who does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A. critics                                                                B. theater owners      

C. audience                                                                D. movie producers

70. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Digital Movie Director – George Lucas

B. The Best-made Movie — Star Wars

C. The Beginning of Digital Movies

D. The Future of Digital Movies

What should we do when we are in a bad situation? Some may choose to give up. But is that what we should do? The following news report may get you inspired.

    With a population of 156 million, Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in the world. What makes the situation worse is that most of the country is situated on the low-lying Ganges delta(三角洲). As a result, it often suffers flooding, especially during the rainy season from July to October. In this period, the rivers rise as much as 12 feet. In such situations, people can only get to certain places by boat.

    The problems are particularly serious in the Chalanbeel region, a poor area where people survive by farming on the rich delta soil when it is not underwater. But many parents there don’t want to send their children to school and there are not enough teachers. As a result, many kids living there do not attend school on a regular basis. The problem becomes worse during the rainy season when land schools cannot be reached. Many students never return to school after the forced breaks.

     How to help students attend school regularly? 22-year-old Bangladeshi architect Mohammed Rezwan decided to take action. In 2002, the young man used $500 he had received in scholarships to start Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha. The non-profit organization’s mission was to set up floating schools. It took Rezwan four years to raise enough funds to open his first boat school. But as the world began to know about the organization’s worthy cause, money started to pour in. Until now, Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha has built 22 floating schools, some with playgrounds on the upper deck. Now a lot more children in the Chalanbeel region go to school regularly.

    We should keep in mind that there is always a solution to every problem.

21. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that in the Chalanbeel region, ______.

   A. children can’t receive a good education

22. What did Mohammed Rezwan do to help children attend school

   A. He hired many good teachers. B. He gave students scholarships.

   C. He started building more land schools. D. He opened boat schools for children.

23. Knowing about the cause of Mohammed Rezwan’s organization, many people___.

   A. realized education is very important

Customer service refers to the way that companies behave towards their customers.   36   However, many a time organizations don’t focus on customer relationship management, and that’s what makes customers angry, which is one of the reasons why companies lose their customers.  37 

First of all, you need to realize the great value of the customers. It’s they who are the boss, and it’s because of them that you get your pay checks. So do take your customers seriously.

  38  You need to ask the customers the right kind of questions and think of the possible solutions which you can provide. Understand how they feel according to a particular situation, their body language, tone of voice and words they speak. Never make assumptions （臆断）and think that you know what the customers want.

  39   Treat customers as individuals and the best way to do that is using their first name and finding ways of praising them in a sincere way.

In addition, there are some other skills which will help you in serving your customers better. For example, once you finish solving the problem for the customers, before ending the call, always remember to ask if there is anything else you can do for them. End the call with a “thank you”. If the customers are angry, let them express their anger completely.   40  Once they’ve finished speaking, try to calm them down by apologizing.

In a word, always remember that if the customers remain happy, you’ll be in business.

A. Never interrupt or start speaking until they’ve finished.

B. You can bring in as many new customers as you want.

C. So customer service is important and you should know how to improve it.

D. Finding out the needs of the customers is another important customer service tip.

E. Making customers feel they are important is an excellent way to serve them

  better.

F. It’s the quality of service that determines whether the customer remains with the

  company.

G. More companies are finding that their customer service should not be limited to

  stores.

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.

The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes: It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea（腹泻）, vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.

It is understandable for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.

This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious（接触传染的）. It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.

Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.

James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influenza, are far, far deadlier.

32. What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa?

A. It has caused thousands of African deaths.   

B. Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination.

C. It has already traveled to the US and the UK.

D. The fight against it is slowing down .

33. The Ebola virus is terrifying because___________.

A. it cannot be cured at the moment

B. it is easily infected

C .it spreads faster than any other infectious disease

D. it has caused more deaths than other infectious diseases

34. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means

A. keep a secret       B. stay calm          C. keep silent    D stay away from it

35. What is the author's attitude towards people's panic?

A. Objective.         B. Supportive.         C. Doubtful.     D. Understandable.
