She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction.

(16)Text 10It was certainly an unusual morning. Amber was late for work for the first time in two years. (17) But even more unusual was the story she told her boss. As she was about to send her son to school, a friend called and said there was a crime being reported on Amber's street. She looked down the street and saw a large man with an angry face. He was knocking loudly on her neighbor's door. (18) She knew Frank was going to be late for school, but she didn't dare to let him leave. A few minutes later, she heard the police arrive. She knew they would be safe then, so she told her son he could leave. But when Frank opened the door, their cat ran out into the yard. (19) Amber ran after the cat, but it ran to the left. Just as the cat was picking up speed, Amber finally caught up to it. She grabbed it by the tail and shouted as if she just won a victory. Just then, she looked up and saw a shiny car entering her neighborhood. It was the Stevensons, the “perfect” neighbors with all the right friends. And there was Amber, standing in her nightshirt, surrounded by police cars, and holding a scared cat in the air by the tail. (20)jobs；' she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.“We don't require previous employment,“ Veronika says. "We're looking for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on to jobs in the auto industry and construction.Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. "At the end of the day,“ she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”What was Veronika's second inspiration?A. Improving her coat's design.B. Founding a nonprofit organization.C. Profiting from the work of those low-paid people.D. Producing more coats and distributing them abroad.24. What is the purpose of the Empowerment Plan?A. To raise more donations.B. To design better clothes.C. To provide help for the homeless. D. To offer free classes to the motivated.25. Which of the following best describes Veronika?A. Traditional but helpfulB. Greedy and unsatisfied.C. Generous but childish.D. Creative and caring.26. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Design to Fill a Need.B. The Empowerment Plan.C. Look for Motivated People.D. How to design a coat.CFeeling blue about the world? "Cheer up." says science writer Matt Ridley. "The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.Ridley calls himself a rational optimist-rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here*s how he explains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.2 ) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown a lotcheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours* work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes* work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.3 ） Let*s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating （减轻）climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel （化石燃料）electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet （止血带）around our necks.27. What is the theme of Ridley*s most recent book?B. Concern about climate change.D. Weakness of human nature.B. It results in shortage of goods.D. It causes a poverty problem.A. Optimism about human progress.C. Importance of practical thinking.28. How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It demands more fossil fuels.C. It encourages the creation of things.29. The candle and lamp example is used to show thatA. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goodsC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. shortening working time brings about a happier lifeWhat does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. People's health is closely related to climate change.C. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.DWhen emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao ! n "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have1 the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.Lieutena
