These included helping staff at the public library, doing landscape work at Kellenberg, and serving customers at a local restaurant.But faced with a limited number of hours in a day, Abreu left his library job last summer to start working as an emergency medical technician a role that fits his passion for making a difference in other peoples lives.“My appreciation for service has guided me into giving back,” said Abreu, who is setting his sights on becoming a doctor. “Its such a rewarding feeling to help someone.”During his three years at high school, Abreu devoted between 40 and 50 hours of his time each year to volunteer work more than double the schools annual requirement of 20 hours. For all his hard work, Abreu was welcomed into a leadership club that organizes fellow students volunteer activities.St Martin de Porres Marianist School (Kellenbergs sister school) also benefited from Abreus devotion. Through his schools Smart Club program, he voluntarily provided homework help and played games with the junior high school students.Abreu thanked his parents for inspiring him to do the right thing, saying they are “the most selfless people I know.” He remembered when he was about 6 years old, his mother invited a disadvantaged neighborhood boy to have dinner.Upon observing the boys happiness, Abreu came away with a sense of how he wanted to live his own life “I wont focus on my own desires.

The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd stepped down on Teachers Day from leading the e-commerce giant he founded 20 years ago.“I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. “The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.”The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party (欢送会) dressed up like a rock star.In fact, his rags-to-riches story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China.Although his success has influenced a number of Chinese tech businessmen, Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “Its the dreams that keep us never afraid of setbacks (挫折),” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9.Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer?“Im not gonna teach English; Im not gonna teach business. But Im gonna teach young people how to face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News.Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters. As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.” 24. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Ma had enough money to start Alibaba. B. Ma is forward-lookinganddetermined. C. Going abroad is important to start ones business.D. The idea of setting up trading website was very popular from the beginning. 25. Whats the most important for his success according to Ma?A. Experiences. B. Dreams. C. Education. D. Challenges. 26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Confidence is the key to success.C. Good conditions help people grow and learn.D. Challenges allow us to develop new abilities.27. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Leaving to pursue his new dreamsB. Mas retirement from Alibaba C. Great achievements of Ma D. Returning to English teaching CA rainy day can be a chance to recharge. While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的) effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that its possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why dont we use water?”A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction (摩擦) to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction. Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode (电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is much more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his teams model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics,” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic devices we use every day,” he says.Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale, such as on an umbrella.28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By telling a story.B. By raising a question.C. By giving an example.D. By imagining a situation.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The wire. B. The drop of water. C. The surface.D. The electricity.30. What is unique about Mas technique compared with earlier experiments?A. The water itself acts as an electrode.B. It is based on the triboelectric effect.C. It produces electricity from water-made friction.D. It uses a surface covered with two different materials.31. What does Oshman say about Mas technology?A. It has a promising future.B. It will do well on an umbrella.C. It works well in the real world.D. It will replace batteries someday. DDreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? Weve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.Cumberland Islands, GeorgiaJust a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place. Its an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since its still a rural area, the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.Grant Park, ChicagoIf you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.Cranberry Islands, MaineHere, youll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as its a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.Big Sur, CaliforniaThe Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem.

As we grow older, we develop closeness to certain people. 36 A Group of FriendsHaving a group of friends is healthy because you get to grow and learn things together. 37 but your friends will always relate to you because they are going through the very same things. A good group of friends are the ones who make you a better person. Your Best FriendEven if you belong to a group of friends, there will always be that one person you trust and care for the most. A best friend is that one person who listens to your problems and makes sacrifices for your sake. 38 This person is someone who will believe in you and stand by you every step of the way.The Bonds That Last 39 There are times good friends are separated for years, but when they meet again, they feel as close to each other as they used to when they were younger. And even though they get busy, all it takes is a reunion to rekindle all the happy memories and make new ones in the process.A Good Friend To be a good friend does not have to mean you have to sacrifice an eye or a limb to prove your loyalty. You do not have superpowers to make all their problems go away. But what is great about a good friend is that when you need him or her, they are always willing to be there.
