They are made from chemicals, cotton, or wool, which consume many resources in the process of manufacturing and, if burned, they pollute the air and increase the carbon pressure upon the environment. Therefore, it is a good thing for used clothes to be recycled in factories instead of being disposed of in garbage cans to be incinerated or transported to landfill sites. In that sense, the companies that put the donation boxes in communities have done something good and beneficial.However, if they mean to recycle used clothes they need to tell people that and label their collection boxes as "recycle boxes" instead of misleading people by calling them "donation boxes". People expect their "donated" clothes to go to the poor, not factories.People need to be more realistic as well. Donating clothes may not bring much help to the poor. Especially, as it takes a lot of human labor to collect the used clothes, sort them, clean and disinfect them and deliver them to less-developed areas. Every step costs money and sometimes the total cost might even be higher than buying new clothes in large quantities. Sometimes the poor might not need used clothing, but they cannot trade the clothes for what they do need.It might be a sad fact, but the most effective and efficient way of helping poor people is donating money and letting them get what they need themselves. So when people want to send a helping hand, they need to donate money, instead of simply donating their used, unwanted clothes.4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The donation boxes should be put more in communities.B. Unwanted clothes can be recycled in donation boxes. C. Putting donation boxes in communities is right for companies.D. Used clothes should be recycled in factories.5. Why cannot the boxes in communities be called “donation boxes”?A. The poor dont need clothing donations any longer.B. Recycling these used clothes needs much more money.C. Donation boxes are intended for collecting unwanted clothes.D. The clothes in the boxes are to be recycled at last.6. What does the author really mean by mentioning “a sad fact”?A. The poor cannot get help from it.B. The factories cannot benefit from it.C. Its not convenient for the residents.D. It gets the communities into trouble sometimes.7. Whats the authors attitude towards “donation boxes in communities”?A. Supportive B. Disapproving C. Indifferent D. DoubtfulCUniversity-the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society. and, well, I did some work too - but I must confess my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness. Its easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of students feel stressed constantly. Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didnt enjoy her first days in college. She says: "When I first got to university I dont think Id realized that Id forgotten how to make friends. Id been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success whilst learning how to look after myself at quite a young age." Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: "Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on being able to cook. Budgeting is extremely important in university life." And Caleb adds: "You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably." I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump. 8. What did the author do that made her professors angry? A. She didnt do well in her studies. B. She used to arrive late for the lectures. C. She behaved not so politely in the class. D. Not mentioned.9. What did Kristy have the most difficulty with? A. She didnt know how to make friends. B. She found it hard to deal with the academic work. C. She didnt get along well with her teachers. D. She felt homesick.10. What skill does Dr. Ruth consider to be extremely important for university students? A. Budgeting B. Cooking C. Cleaning D. washing11. What does the author mean by the expression "the hard way"?A. She finally overcame it. B. She had a hard time during college.C. She couldnt get along well with each other. D. She probably didnt know how to take care of herself.DTeens are now less likely to do part-time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than their counterparts 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that todays teens are more virtuous (有道德的) and responsible. Other-s have suggested that todays teens arent working because they are simply lazy.To figure out whats really going on, we should look at these trends with “life history theory" taken into consideration. A “fast-life method” was the more common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer labor-saving devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to focus on day-to-day survival. As a result, kids needed to care for themselves sooner. A "slow-life method", on the other hand, is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each childs growth and development. When the average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isnt naturally “good" or “bad". Delaying exposure to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased there binge-drinking(酗酒)were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true of teens who dont work, drive or go out much in high school. College administrators describe students who cant do anything without calling their parents. Employers worry that more young employees lack the ability to work independently.However, the “slow-life method” is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay. The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence, along with social and decision-making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more.12. According to the text, teens in the past were more .A. reliable B. innocent C. intelligent D. independent13What plays a vital role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?A. Cultural changes. B. Social standard. C. Educational development. D. Methods of education.14. What does the author advise parents to do?A. Spend less time in accompanying their children.B. Force their children to leave home at an early age.C. Encourage their children to take part in social activities.D. Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible.15. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?A. How teens develop skills they need in future.B. Teens take no responsibility for what they do. C. Why todays teens arent in any hurry to grow up.D. Nowadays teens cant make decisions by themselves.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Make sure your estate(财产) plan keeps up with life changesFew things are as important as estate planning.
