14、ra support Dgive others helpBVolunteer work plays an important role in Americas high school education. A certain number of volunteer hours are a must for high schoolers. Great numbers of high school students are engaged in volunteer work for the purpose of having a promising future.Volunteer work is

15、 a critical part of college applications. In America, the perfect score is not the only factor to be considered in college admission which becomes more and more competitive. High school students are finding that whether they have impressive volunteer experience or not tends to be a key factor. Princ

16、eton University once enrolled a girl who successfully sold a large quantity of girl scout cookies (女童子军饼干). Instead of selling cookies in front of supermarkets or from door by door, the girl walked into a big company and asked to see the CEO. Beginning from the good taste of her cookies, she explain

17、ed how the money would be used to help poor children and how the company would benefit if he bought her cookies. At last, her courage and wisdom impressed both the CEO and Princeton University. Volunteering is a great preparation for future careers Rather than picking a volunteer job randomly (随意的),

18、 some high school students choose activities based on potential careers or majors. Kymberly Bays is a high school graduate. Five days after she had received her high school diploma (毕业证书), she embarked on a journey to Africa for six weeks to be a volunteer teacher at a poor school. She also raised $

19、1,000 through a part-time job to buy textbooks for the school. Since Kymberly wants to be a foreign news correspondent, she said the trip to Africa would help her learn more about adapting to foreign places and see how others live.24. The underlined word “enrolled” in the passage most probably means

20、 _.A. achievedB. admittedC. accepted D. dealt with25. A great quantity of high school students who are engaged in volunteer work aims to _.A. have more work experience.B. earn more money.C. have a promising future.D. learn about the society.26.

21、inly by _.A. listing reasons. B. using quotations.C. making comparisons. D. giving examples.27. What does Kymberly Bays want to be in the future?A. a teacherB. a businessmanC. a reporterD. a statesmanCBelow is a selection from a popular science book. If blood is red, why are veins（静脉） blue? Actually

22、, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when its outside the body, when its sitting in the vein near the surface of the skin, its more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the

23、 surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison. Which works harder, you heart or your brain? That kind of depends on whether youre busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But i

24、n the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when youre sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it. Why do teeth fall out, and why dont they grow back in grown-ups? Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last lon

25、g; they fall out to make bigger room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall our when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, youre done. When theyre gone, they are gone. This is because nature figures youre set for life,

26、 and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off. Do old people shrink(收缩 ) as they age? Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isnt because theyre shrinking all over. They lose height as their spine（脊柱） becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the e

27、ffect of gravity(重力). Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose and average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, bec

28、ause old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards - their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved. Why does spinning make you dizzy（眩晕的）? Because your bra

29、in gets confused between what youre seeing and what youre feeling. The brain senses that youre spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of

30、 control, and your brain thinks youre moving while youre not. Where do feelings and emotions come from? Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area - from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pl

31、easure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet. If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you? Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, its “us

32、e it, or lose it”! Its not that exercise makes you healthy, its more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease. 28. What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin? A. Blue B. Light yellow C. Red D. Dark reddish purple 29. Why do some old people l

33、ook a little shrunken as they age? A. Because their spine is in active use. B. Because they are more easily affected by gravity. C. Because they keep growing backwards. D. Because their spine becomes more bent. 30. Which of the following statements about our brain is true? A. .In the long run, our b

34、rain probably works harder than our heart. B. When our brain senses the spinning, we will feel dizzy. C. The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans. D. Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain. DSeveral years ago I was at a train station in Amst

35、erdam waiting in line to buy a ticket. As I stood there I saw a young homeless man asking people for money so he could buy breakfast. It was early in the morning and most of the travelers simply ignored the young man or gave him a dirty look. There was one exception thoughan older, well-dressed busi

36、nessman who looked as though he was from the middle-east. When approached by the panhandler, the gentleman looked straight into his eyes and quietly asked, “How much will you need?” I couldnt hear what the young man said but watched as the older man pulled several bills from his wallet and calmly pl

37、aced them in the young mans hands.What impressed me more than anything was that the older man did not look away when he was approached (like so many others did). The fact that he offered money wasnt nearly as important as the way he looked into the other mans eyes.I dont know if the young man actual

38、ly used this money for breakfast or for some other purpose. What I do know is that I witnessed two completely different reactions to the same situation. I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed or distrustful. And then I saw this man who was not afraid and treated the homeless man as though he

39、 were a brother. I decided then and there that , even though we have to be careful in this world, I would rather be like him.32. What do you think the young man was?
