Dekalb says a lot of kids idolized basketball player Michael Jordan when he was growing up in Chicago in the 1990s. Not him.I wanted to be like Dekalb Walcott Jr., he says of

19、his father.So when his dad asked if he wanted to go on that call with him when he was 8, Dekalb was excited. Im jumping up and down, saying, Mom, can I go? Can I go? The experience changed Dekalbs life, he tells his dad on a visit to StoryCorps. My eyes got big from the moment the alarm went off. th

20、e younger Dekalb says. This is the life that I want to live someday. Now 27, the younger Dekalb is living that life. He became a firefighter at 21 and went to work alongside his dad at the Chicago Fire Department. Before his father retired, the pair even went out on a call together father supervisin

21、g（监督） son.You know, its everything for me to watch you grow, his father says. But he also recalls worrying about one particular fire that his son faced.I received a phone call that night. And they said, Well, your son was at this fire. I said, OK, which way is this conversation going to go? Dekalb W

22、alcott Jr. recalls.And they said, But hes OK. And he put it out all by himself. Everybody here was proud of him.And the word went around, Who was out there managing that fire? Oh, thats Walcott! Thats Walcott up there! So, you know, moments like that, its heaven on Earth for a dad.Dekalb Walcott Jr.

23、 retired in 2009. The younger Dekalb says hes proud of being a second-generation firefighter. You know, it makes me look forward to fatherhood as well, because Im definitely looking forward to passing that torch down to my son.36. The underlined phrase tag along in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning

24、to _.A. put out fireB. watch basketballC. follow his fatherD. ask his mothers permission37.

I

25、had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down ones chimney（烟囱） and put toys in ones stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.On th

26、at fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. T

27、o make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I woul

28、d amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “Ive been looking for you for twen

29、ty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winked, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For BeckyI may have missed you in the second grade, but youve always lived in my heart. Santa.”Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just

30、two months before. I later discovered that the older man was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.So now I believe that Santa is real. I dont mean the twinkle-eyed character of childrens mythology(神话) or the creatio

31、n of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me. I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts

32、of kindness.38. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors parents _.A. didnt love their child at allB. didnt know the previous owners of the houseC. didnt know much about Christmas tradition D. didnt have enough money to buy the author Christmas presents39.

34、native AmericanCCooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence childrens food preferences and behaviors, according to a recent review. And, although the review didnt look at long-term effects of such programs, the findings suggest that such programs might help children develo

35、p long-lasting healthy habits.This research comes at a time when childhood obesity（肥胖） rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at le

36、ast in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study. Cooking education programs, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the import

37、ance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents,

38、 the review explained.The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encou

39、rage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.The study stressed the importance of getting parents

40、involved in（参与） their childrens eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they

45、n OReilly, a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, argued in a lecture. About 59% of engineering companies in the IETs 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten business. There is nothing as creative as engineering, Sir John told the reporter. He says science, technology,

46、engineering and mathematics - often known as Stem subjects, are vital for a modern knowledge economy. But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduate

47、s it produces.

In particular he mentioned Cranfield Universitys Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial Colleges work with the Ro

58、ion school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery. The program is for six-year-olds who are struggling to learn to read. Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert Marie Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other

59、countries also use this method. Programs can differ from school. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades use the program. The Reading Recovery method calls for a specially trained reading teacher to work with children one

60、 at a time. The lessons take a half hour each school day. They employ reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet. Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher wor

61、ks to help the students develop these strategies to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the students to continue to use and extend these strategies each time they read. Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children

62、 also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time. The lessons end when the students reading ability is within the average level of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can re

63、ad and write within their class average. The council is a group with eleven thousand members. The group named a new president this month. Mary Jackson is director of special programs for the Fort Bend public school system in Sugar Land, Texas. Mizz Jackson says more than ninety-nine percent of the R

64、eading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination. Some administrators may not like the higher cost of the Reading Recovery method compared to other ways. Teachers, after all, work with only small numbers of first graders. But supporters say it saves money in the end. They
