20、 of my recent arts management class at the State University. As part of that class, I worked for the BCE Museum examining their marketing strategies, as well as other institutions, in an effort to discover the most effective and efficient manner to promote their upcoming exhibition. This rewarding e

21、xperience working for the BCE Museum sharpened my desire to continue in this field and helped me develop the tools I need to be an effective arts administrator.

24、ces. The 14-year-old has been playing since she was 3, but because hes home-schooled, he cant try out for the local team at Patriot High School in Prince William Country, Virginia.“I cant play this half of the year and my friends are going to be playing the five or six times a week,” he said. “Theyr

25、e going to be getting better and stronger playing with kids that are good.”Micah and his family-along with many other home-schooling families across Virginia-are hoping the Virginia General Assembly will approve a bill this year that would allow kids like him to try out for sports on public school a

26、thletic team. The bill, called the “Tebow bill”, is named after football player Tim Tedbow, who was home-schooled but was allowed to play on a high school team before going to the university of Florida, where he led his team to two national championships.Many major statewide education organizations

27、said the bill wouldnt be fair to public school student. Ken Tilley, the executive director of the Virginia High School League, said the bill would violate two of the leagues most long-standing standards for qualification: enrollment and academic standing.Home-school advocates argued they are require

28、d by the law to document academic progress. But many opponents said students always have the option of attending public high school. That might be what Sydney Bowman, a 12-year-old from Lucketts, will do to keep wrestling, although she would prefer to continue to be taught at home. In her case, girl

29、s wrestling teams are rare enough that there arent many options other than public school.But Micahs mom, Terri Fitz, a former public school teacher, said that although they support the local school and love to cheer on the teams, they like the flexibility of home-schooling.58.

32、h school C. stop taking part in wrestling D. report her academic progressCBabies, soft, delicate things that they are, typically spend their waking hours surrounded by items of equal softness. When it comes to sleeping , though, to cover a baby in all that softness can be a dangerous choice. Putting

33、 infants(婴儿) to bed with blankets and pillows has been linked to sudden infant death syndrome(SIDS), one of the leading causes of infant deaths in the U.S. Even so, more than half of American babies still sleep with unsafe bedding, according to a report published in the journal Pediatrics.“Parents h

34、ave good intentions but may not understand that blankets, quilts, and pillows increase a babys risk of SIDS and accidental suffocation(窒息),” Carrie Shapiro-Mendoza, the studys lead author, said in a statement. While overall rates of SIDS have decreased in recent years, from 66.3 deaths per 100,000 i

35、nfants in 2000 to 52.7 in 2010, deaths from sleep suffocation have more than doubled over the same time period.The American Academy of Pediatrics(APP) first recommended that infants sleep on their backs in 1992. In 1996, the AAP declared that sleeping areas should be “free of soft surfaces and gas-t

36、rapping objects.” Three years later, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a safety warning that babies should be placed to sleep on their backs on a firm, tight-fitting mattress(床垫) in a crib(婴儿床) that meets current safety standards and that pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and othe

37、r pillow-like soft products should be removed from the crib.According to the most current guidelines from the National Institutes of Health(NIH), the safest way for a baby to sleep is alone in a crib, on its back, on a firm mattress covered only by a fitted sheet. Often, though, the safest method is

38、nt the one that parents see.“Parents get a lot of mixed messages about how to put their infants to sleep,” Shapiro-Mendoza told The New York Time. “A relative will give them a quilt or a furry blanket than they may feel obligated(有义务的) to use, or they look at magazine and see a baby sleeping with a

39、pillow.”“Media messages targeted toward mothers of infants or would-be mothers may also be related to the high popularity of using certain types of bedding,” the researchers wrote, “Seeing images such as these may strengthen beliefs that having these items in the infant sleep area is not only a favo

40、rable practice, but also the norm. ”62. According to the passage, what do parents usually do?A. Let babies sleep on their backsB. Put babies to bed with pillows.C. Let babies sleep alone in a crib.D. Follow the current guidelines of the NIH.63. What do researchers suggest parents do?A. Parents shoul

41、d get used to the norm of infant sleep.B. Parents should adopt favorable infant sleep practices.C. Parents should share their experiences on infant sleep.D.

We had only a small amount of food in our kitchen. I wondered how I c

43、ould have gotten my eight-year-old daughter and me to the point where we were so close to homelessness. I made one or two wrong assumptions about being able to find new employment. It seemed that I was on a ladder sliding downward, with no end in sight.Staying here were single moms trying to escape

44、from bad marriages, alcoholics and people who just seemed to have a hard time fitting in. I fell normal, so what was I doing here? More importantly, was there something these people could teach me about surviving until I could climb out of my difficult situation? I swallowed my pride and began to kn

45、ock on doors. Whether they were single parents or travelers, I was told how to donate blood to earn a bit of money and how one family worked at a local temp(临时雇员) agency that paid daily. Doing everything they recommended allowed me to keep going.The whole time I continued to go to interview after in

46、terview in search of a regular job. I landed a job as a receptionist. I saw all the business partners as they came and went. Whenever I had an opportunity to make any kind of a positive impression, whether offering to return calls, making reservations, recommending a solution to a callers problem or

47、 anything else, I did so. The effort paid off. My temp-to-perm job was lengthened for another two-week period. I was moved from the reception desk to the second assistant for one of the partners. This gave me the opportunity to see even more of what went on in the firm. I offered the executive assis

48、tant help in completing her work so that we could both go home at a more reasonable time.Even though I knew it was rare for this firm to move anyone from a temporary position to a permanent one, I decided Id do my job as if it were already mine. I organized the file. I set up a follow-up calendar(日程

49、表). I made sure whatever was needed for meeting was there beforehand. I figured that if I could keep working there for over four months, I might have a chance.I had been working there for eight weeks when the executive assistant became ill and was in hospital. Since she was expected back shortly, I

50、offered to step in and do her tasks as well as my own task. Sadly, the executive assistant never did fully recover from her sickness. After working for six of the hardest months of my life, I was permanently offered her position. It provided benefits, stability and eventually the opportunity to move

51、 into a better and closer apartment. I worked for that firm for almost five years. I eventually took over the operation of a department and was promoted to the position of manager. Who could have imagined that?My time as a nearly homeless person had given me new compassion(同情) for people in trouble.

52、 Instead of simply evicting(驱逐) everyone who couldnt pay, my apartment developed an awarding-winning program which allowed them to work off their rents by providing needed services, such as cleaning, gardening or painting, somewhere in our apartment buildings.I went on to have other corporate jobs,

53、and I now live in my house. Whenever I see a person who needs help today, I wonder what his story is. And I try to offer him at least a warm cup of coffee or something to eat. Who knows, some day it might be me again. Id like to think that someone would help me if they could. 65. According to Paragr

75、 big cities.Needless to say, e-books have many advantages. First of all, producing e-books needs no paper, which means numerous forests will be saved.

76、ch cheaper than paper books.Despite the great popularity of e-books, there will always be a place and need for paper books. Compared with e-books, paper books have their own unique advantages, too. Not only is reading paper books better for eyes, but it also offers us a more real and pleasant experience. So I dont think e-books will take the place of paper books completely. Instead, both of them will co-exist in the future.
