Tommy Kelly,a studentat Patton Middle School.If that happened in our country,there would be an outrage.Tommy and his classmates take clean water for grantedor at least they did so beforethey found out that kids in many other countries dont have it.They said they couldnt 实用文档精品文档believe the images they saw of children playing in dirty water either.So they decided to do something.On Saturday,March 21,they scheduled a Walk for Water to help bring clean water to schools inUganda.They planned to collect donations for each of the kilometers they walked.And they planned towalk approximately five kilometers-the distance they say many kids have to walk to get water everyday.The Patton kids timed their walk to coincide with World Water Day in order to raise awareness about theimportance of conserving water.Experts say all of us need to be more conscious of how much water we use or we might not have enough to go around in the future.According to a study,a number of factors are putting strain on Uganda*s water supply.Experts say climatechange could cause droughts in places where water was once plentiful.And the major factor is:asUgandas population grows,not only are people using more water as a whole,but the farmers also have touse more water to grow more crops.The United Nations says nearly 2 million people there already donthave access to clean water.And in some munities,the same water gets used for bathing,cleaning,drinkingand sanitation（卫生）.As a result,many kids die every year from water-related diseases.It might not seem like one person could make a difference.However,if each of us made an effort toconserve water,the results might just add up.Thafs why Tommy got involved in the Walk for Water andhe has taken a great step for us.21.Why did Tommy and his classmates organize the Walk for Water?A.To prevent children from playing in dirty water.B.To call on all the students to drink clean water.C.To help Ugandan students get easy access to clean water.实用文档精品文档D.To warn people not to take clean water for granted.22.The underlined word strain in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by”A.pressure B.weight C.relief D.injury23.The shortage of water supply in Uganda is mainly caused byA.climate change B.population growthC.environmental pollution D.overuse of water in factories24.Through the last paragraph,the author tends to show thatA.we should follow Tommys exampleB.everyone should try to help those in needC.more financial support is needed to save waterD.Tommy cant improve Ugandans*living conditions aloneBIn 1851,Auguste te,the French philosopher and father of sociology,coined the new word altruism（利彳也主义）as part of a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles.He defined it as64 intentional action for the welfare of others that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or aloss to the actor.At that time,studies of animal behavior and phrenology（颅相学）led him to locateegotistical（自我本位的）instincts at the back of the brain,altruistic ones at the front.Today,we have a far more sophisticated knowledge of the neurological（神经学的）andbiochemical factors that underpin kind behavior.And this science forms the bases 实用文档精品文档of two books aimed at general reader-shut also at those who,despite the research,still doubt theexistence of altruism.However,the books may end up providing more information fbr the naysayers.Take The AltruisticBrainby neuroscientist Donald Pfaff.On solid scientific ground,he builds a five-step theory of howaltruism occurs,which depends on an idea that is unconvincing and may achieve the opposite result.Pfaff argues that to act altruistically you should first visualize the receiver of your good will,thenmentally transform their image into your own,ufrom angle to angle and curve to curve”.Does itreally work?At the core of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilsons Does Altruism Exist?is another contentious（有争议的）idea:altruism has evolved as the result of group selection.But Wilson argues his comermasterfully,providing a clever reply to the belief that natural selection occurs only at the level of theselfish gene:Selfishness beats altruism within groups.Altmistic groups beat selfish groups,“he says.In other words,we cooperate when doing so gives our team the advantage.That doesnt sound veryselfless either.Wilson acknowledges this,but argues that thoughts and feelings are less important than actions.According to evolutionary theory,pure altruists do exist,but it doesnt matter why people choose tohelp others一their reasons may be difficult even for themselves to understand.What matters is thathumans can coordinate their activities in just the right way to achieve mon goals.Other animals dothis too,but we are masters.Teamwork is the signature adaptation of our species,9 he says.实用文档精品文档Pfaff goes further,insisting that our brain biology“urges us to be kind.He believes this knowledgealone will inspire individuals to be more altruistic.His desire to create a better world is admirable andsome of his ideas are interesting,but Wilsons analysis is clearer.While it is in our nature to be altruistic,Wilson says,we also have a healthy regard for self-interest and aresistance to being pushed around.Which one es to the fbre depends on the environment in which wefind ourselves.Ethics,he says,cannot be taught at individual level,but are“a property of the wholesystem”.25.Which of the following can be considered an altruistic behaviour according to tes definition?A.A person offers to donate his liver to another who needs one.B.A clerk returns the umbrella to his colleague which he has kept for a long time.C.A student volunteers to work in the orphanage to collect data for his research.D.A police officer spots a car parking in the no-parking area,finding a child inthe trunk.26.The word“naysayers”(in paragraph 3)most probably me a n s.A.people who doubts somethingB.people who take a positive attitudeC.people who have no say in an areaD.people who are experts in an area实用文档精品文档27.What does Donald Pfaff think people should do in order to act altruistically?A.Draw a picture of the person they are going to help.B.Imagine they themselves are to be helpedC.Visualize what they are going to do in mind first.D Transform the receiver into a kind person.28.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Both Donald Pfaff and David Sloan lay emphasis on team work.B.Unlike Donald Pfaffs book,David Sloans book aims at professional readers.C.tes definition of altruism proves to be impractical in modem times.D.Figuring out what makes us behave selflessly is a tricky business.CThe Chinese names of some well-known brands might sound silly in English,but theyre key to helpingforeign panies earn billions in China,where a name is thought to make or break your luck.For panies,ingup with a name that fits the firm is difficult enough.But its even more Challenging in Chinese,which hasmany dialects and scores of homophones that can lead to unintended double entendres.For example,inChinese,the word for tallsounds exactly like the word forncaken;theyre both pronounced ngaon,The wrong name will just give the wrong impression/*said Tait Lawton,founder of NanjingMarketing Group.Best Buy(BBY),for example,didnt have a very attractive实用文档精品文档Chinese name,using a near-directtranslation from English,Lawton said.Whileifs hard to tell justhow much the name had to do with its business prospects,the electronics retailer never becamepopular in China,and changed its name in xx.Some brands have found success with names that not only sound like their English names,but also havesignificant meanings in Chinese:Coca-Cola(KO)came up with a clever one,kekou kele”,which meansdelicious fun,and stays true to the original English.On top of that,part of the name sounds like theChinese word for thirsty.While that kind of significance might be lost to a foreigners ears,its something that sticks withChinese consumers,who are more inclined to remember the Chinese name over the English one,saidVladimir Djurovic,CEO of Labbrand,a pany that helps foreign firms choose Chinese names.Banks,for instance,seeking to attract the rich,should consider names that give off the impression ofwealth.Goldman Sachs*name in Chinese is Hgao sheng,or highly prosperous0.London bank HSBCwent with hui feng,which roughly translates to gathered abundance1.Others,like French grocerychain,Carrefour,will want to appear more consumer-friendly.Its Chinese name,jia lefu,meanshappy family.29.What makes foreign panies*choosing Chinese names difficult?A.There are billions of people in China.B.Chinese is a hard language to master.C.Its really difficult to speak Chinese.D.Chinese is based on an ancientculture.实用文档精品文档30.Best Buy changed its Chinese name in xx,becauseA.it wasnt very meaningful B.Labbrand made a change to itC.it wasnt translated accurately D.it failed to attract customers31.Who would be interested in the text?A.The persons whose pany will build a branch in China.B.The persons who want to sell different drinks in China.C.The persons who want to learn the true original English.D.The persons who want to learn Chinese culture.DIn the past,loading up the entire family for a road trip for a vacation was a much expected annualactivity.With the high prices of gas,many people ai*e going against the trend of taking a nornial vacation,but prefer a staycationinstead.As the name suggests,staycations are vacations that are close to home anddont require extensive travel.High gas prices may prove a cause for staycations.Many families are discovering attractions andevents close to home and being tourists in their own home cities.Some popular staycation activitiesinclude visits to local theme parks or water parks,local festivals or museums.Many families simulatecamping trips by setting up tents in their own backyards.Staycations saw a rise in popularity shortly after theeconomic collapse of xx,when families started tightening the belt and cutting luxuries out of the familybudget.Traveling close to home has bee popular amongst families looking to cut costs without cutting thefun.Staycations prove an affordable solution to costly road travel.A family of four can save thousands ofdollars in travel expenses.实用文档精品文档Families must take care to treat their staycation just as a traditional away-from-home vacation.Many people who stay close to home on vacation find themselves checking email,returning phonecalls,going to the office and being involved in household chores during their staycations.Settingclear boundaries and making a schedule ahead of time can reduce the temptation to fall into work while onstaycation.With the increase in popularity of the staycation,many businessmen see these cash-strappedtravelers as a goldmine.Some resorts,theme parks and amusement activities have started charginghigher prices to earn profits
