1.You" d think Pauline Hord would have served her time by now. After all, she recently celebrated her 90th birthday, and by the time she achieved that breathtaking milestone, she " d already done a 10-year stretch in the Mississippi State Prison.
  Ms Hord is a sweet-natured, gentle -talking, white-haired Southerner who never owed a debt to society—thus, she never had to pay one. So you have to wonder what a woman like this is doing in a place where most people are itching to get loose. Unlike the rest of the population, Ms Hord goes to prison freely and eagerly. And when she gets there, she persuades prisoners of every sort to sing little ditties about their ABCs and XYZs.
  At age 80 , Ms Hord began teaching prisoners to read during a chance visit to the State Prison with a lawyer friend. "When I got there, I heard that a group of volunteer workers had been praying for a teacher. They asked me if I would come and I said I would be thrilled, " she said.
  On a personal level, Ms Hord considers this rewarding work. If you get at the reason why these men went into crime, you will find that none of them succeeded in their early years of schooling. "They went to school at 5 believing they were going to learn to read. When they didn"t learn in the first or second grade, they realized something was wrong. By 8, they were having problems. By 12 or 13, they were drinking or using drugs. And it"s getting worse. I" m seeing younger and younger prisoners who know less and less. They can"t read well enough to function in this society. " She says.
  It is this situation that Ms Hord goes to prison week after week to correct. And when her most difficult students finally begin to read, she is sure that she, too, knows why the caged birds sing.

Ms Hord goes to prison eagerly to______.

A．sing songs for the prisoners
B．teach the prisoners to read
C．pray for the prisoners
D．make friends with the prisoners

2.

A．a(chǎn)fraid
B．willing
C．reluctant
D．eager

3.
According to Ms Hord, the root of crimes lies in______.

A．racial discrimination
B．poor living condition
C．lack of proper education
D．a(chǎn)ddiction to alcohol or drug

4.

A．Many people volunteered to join Ms Hord in her work.
B．Most of the prisoners had no desire to learn as a child.
C．Ms Hord found some prisoners impossible to teach.
D．Ms Hord took up her volunteer job by chance.

5.

7.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it "s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
  During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you " re "hot". That"s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this it so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自語(yǔ)) as; "Get up, John ! You will be late for work again! "The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
  You can"t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you" re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (對(duì)抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won"t change your cycle, but you" ll get up steam (鼓起干勁) and work better at your low point.
  Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.

A．he is a lazy person
B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C．he is not sure when his energy is low
D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should______.

A．change his energy cycle
B．overcome his laziness
C．get up earlier than usual
D．go to bed earlier

13.When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of goods. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket and put your food in it. You probably hear soft music as you walk. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
  Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it.
  The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
  The dairy (乳制品) department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says "1 percent (1%) fat on the container". The second says "99 percent (99%) fat free". The third says "Low Fat" in big letters and"l%" in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk don"t cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most.
  Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says "Buy me! "to the customers. The expensive meat says " Buy me! " as you walk by. The expensive milk jar says " Buy me! I have less fat. "

19.The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form. of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.
  Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find.
  Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
  There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can"t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don"t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
  Noise adds more tension (緊張) to a society that already faces enough stress.
  But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots(四輪馬車(chē)) from moving through the streets at night!
