21、Adrian Rodriquez found the purse outside a supermarket in Chula Vista CA. Using the address on the driver’s license (驾照) inside the purse, Adrian drove to the house and knocked on the front door.

The purse belonged to Eliana Martin, a former (以前的) roommate of Melina Marquez. Martin had not changed her address since her recent move, so the purse was brought to Marquez’s home. Marquez was not at home when Adrian arrived. He left it with a relative at the house, and their dialogues were recorded by Marquez’s camera by chance. “I looked into the camera later, and I thought to myself “Oh my dear. He’s such a young kid. We need to find him and thank him,” recalled Marquez. She posted the video of Adrian on the Internet and the Chula Vista community quickly went to work.

“I woke up and I had a lot of messages like, ‘Oh is this you?’” Adrian said. The ladies invited him to Marquez’s house so Martin could say thanks in person. After they knew the boy’s poor family, they also started a GoFundMe page in his honor. The online fundraiser has received 677 donations (捐赠), totaling $15, 145.

“It feels good. I appreciate it. I really do everything everybody’s doing,” Adrian told NBC News. “My mom always told me since I was little to always do the right thing when nobody’s around.”

“This is something that we really need. It’s good news, positive news,” smiled Melina Marquez.

22、Each year millions of babies are born too soon and too small. Premature or preterm births mean births at less than thirty-seven weeks.

Prematurity is the leading cause of death in newborn babies. More than one-fourth of the four million newborns who die each year around the world were born too early.

Preterm babies that survive can suffer a lifetime of serious health conditions. The examples include cerebral palsy, blindness, hearing problems and learning disabilities. Families and communities face emotional, physical and financial costs.

Christopher Howson is the vice president for global programs at the March of Dimes. His group and the World Health Organization recently published a report called “The Global and Regional Toll of Preterm Birth.”

Christopher Howson: “Frankly the problem of preterm birth is under-recognized and undervalued. People fail to recognize how serious the problem is. I mean, this report shows that thirteen million babies are born every year preterm, and that over a million of those babies die as a result of being born too early.”

And these are just estimates; the true numbers could be even higher. More than eighty-five percent of preterm births happen in Africa and Asia. Africa has the highest rate, with about four million cases each year.

Christopher Howson says many of the causes of preterm births are related to poverty and weak health-care systems.

Christopher Howson: “For example, the poor overall health and nutritional status of women. A high burden of infectious diseases. A lack of family planning – allowing a woman to decide when to start and end having children. And also the lack of good prenatal(产前) care programs that might identify problems early on in pregnancy.”

Preterm births are a problem not just in the developing world. The combined rate in the United States and Canada is the second highest in the world. Preterm birth rates in the United States have increased thirty-six percent in the last twenty-five years.

This has been largely the result of two reasons. One is an increase in pregnancies among women over age thirty-five. The other is an increase in the use of reproductive therapies（生殖治疗）.

【1】 This passage is mainly about ______.

A. the causes of people’s bad health throughout the world

B. how to improve people’s health throughout the world

C. premature or preterm births throughout the world

D. Christopher Howson, vice president for global programs at the March of Dimes

【2】 All of the following are causes of preterm births EXCEPT______.

A. too many deaths of newborn babies

B. poverty

C. Lack of family planning

D. the lack of good prenatal care programs

【3】Which of the following is a TRUE statement according to the passage?

A. Preterm birth rates in developing countries are dropping and they are increasing in some developed countries like the US and Canada.

B. The increase in pregnancies among women over age thirty-five and the increase in the use of reproductive therapies result in the increase of preterm birth rates.

C. Fortunately, many people have already realized the seriousness of the problem of preterm births.

D. Preterm births must be a problem for only poor areas because of poverty.

【4】Where can we probably read this article?

A. International news reports

B. History and political papers

C. Science magazines

D. World trade guides

23、A job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a deliverer.

Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the clinic closed down. It was extremely difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?

“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ ”I was very unhappy.“ she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms Cheng’s neighbors told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.

”I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy,“ she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms Cheng was caught between honor and employment. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually she took heart and went off to work as a courier.

Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her. “Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Mr Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but young ones might,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit young people since many of them shy away from hardship and challenges.”

【1】Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job?

A．Nursing clinics were hard to find.

B．She found it difficult to trust others.

C．People thought she was too old to work.

D．People didn’t think she had enough work experience.

【2】Why did Ms Cheng leave her second nursing job?

A．She was bored with changeless work.

B．Her family asked her to.

C．She was too old to do the job.

D．Other staff made her upset.

【3】What is the Employee’s Retraining Board’s aim?

A．Finding jobs for older people.

B．Teaching new skills to older people.

C．Training older people to be healthier.

D．Providing older people with new goals in life.

【4】What does Anthony Chong think of young people?

A．Able and reliable.

B．Less experienced than the older ones.

C．Fitter and stronger than the older ones.

D．More likely to give up than the older ones.

24、   The Mississippi is a romantic river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century. Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name —'misi', meaning 'great' and 'sipi' meaning 'water'.

When the length of its great tributary (支流), the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes the third longest river in the world. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long. Its head waters have been compared to a healthy, thick-branched tree, healthy because its main branches, or tributaries, are navigable for most of their length.

The Indians paddled up and down the river in their canoes. The first streamer was launched in 1810. It had a single great paddle-wheel at the stern, and was known as a 'paddle-wheeler.' Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi. They have become part of American history and American literature. The noted writer, Mark Twain, immortalized (使不朽) the river in his greatest novel, Huckleberry Finn, and Oscar Hammerstein immortalized it in his song, Old Man River, which was made popular all over the world by the great black American singer and actor, Paul Robeson.
