9、 natural habitat but he ended up finding something much more meaningful. He was most captivated (迷住) by the people he met in rural Kenya particularly at the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School in Amboseli National Park. In addition to befriending many of the students and teachers, Austin was surpr
10、ised to learn how difficult it was to get books and school supplies for the children. “In rural Kenya, the government does not build school buildings. You either build it yourself or raise money to have it built,” says Austin. “A teacher was asked if they had a library. She replied, No, but we would
11、 love to have a library. That stuck in my mind.”When Austin eventually returned to his home in Bluffton, South Carolina, he launched Libraries for Kids International. Since starting the charity, Austin has managed to ship more than 1,000 books to 11 schools across Kenya and Tanzania. He sends the bo
12、oks through the post office rather than FedEx to keep the shipping costs down. As he continues to collect books and donations for additional shipments, Austin says that the charity is now helping to move a shipping container of 22,000 books from Atlanta to Kenya. In the future, the philanthropist (慈
13、善家) hopes to start sending donations to South America as well. “Many people told me that it cant be done. Its too expensive to ship books, and they will disappear going through customs,” Austin says. “However, every worthwhile project will have problems and barriers. If you focus on the problems, yo
14、u will never start. On the contrary, if you focus on the aim and solve the problems as they arise, almost anything is possible.”4What problem does Austin find in rural Kenya?AEducation depends on charity.BStudents lack education resources.CBooks get lost going through customs.DFamilies cant afford t

17、hich is apparently also good for the environment. So youre actually killing two birds with one stone. It goes without saying that recycling aluminum cans can save resources, energy, time and money. People usually save and place aluminum cans in the dustbins, which are then collected and taken away b
18、y cleaners, who will finally recycle them in the recycling center. But if you save the aluminum cans, and skip the cleaners, you can save these same cans for something more importanthelping the poor. In other words, by doing less, you are giving the environmental cause some new significance.Here is
19、how to put this idea into action. Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag. For the dirty ones, rinse them out first. Store the bag of clean aluminum cans. Once you collect about one hundred cans or more, take the cans to the recycle center yourself. There are about eighteen aluminum
20、cans in a pound. And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans. Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.By now, you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor. Consider this: Is there any individual or an
21、y specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the direction that history takes? The answer is probably no. What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing? History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community. And that will surely be powerful enou
22、gh to make a bigger difference.Go to your community or your school and spread your idea. Share your idea and save your aluminum cans with other people. One hundred people can speak louder than one. And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred times. And if more people join
23、in the cause around the world, an even larger difference can be made , and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.8Whats special about the new idea?AIt makes profits.BIt saves resources.CIt benefits the poor.DIt involves cleaners.9What can we infer from paragraph 2?ADirty cans do not sell well.
24、BYou decide who receives the money.CA hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.DThe recycle center is conveniently located.10What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?AA great individual or event.BThe direction history takes.CThe collective will of people.DThe neighbourhood you
25、live in.11Which of the following does the writer want to tell us?AMany hands make light work.BKill two birds with one stone.CDont put the cart before the horse.DNo man can do two things at once.Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly: Einstein
26、 was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniu
27、ses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. Its said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen, or people of a different color or
28、beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six the
29、y start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesnt take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Heres the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we
30、re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力
31、), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”12What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?ATheyre unfair.BTheyre conservative.CTheyre objective.DTheyre strict.13What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?AThey think themselves smart.BThe
32、y look up to great thinkers.CThey see gender differences earlier than boys.DThey are likely to be influenced by social beliefs14Why are more geniuses known to the public?AImproved global communication.BLess discrimination against women.CAcceptance of victors concepts.DChanges in peoples social posit

34、with your parents.Be grateful. Consider all that your parents have done for you. You may find yourself feeling thankful to your parents. You will be more willing to improve the relationship. Let your parents know that you are appreciative for all they have done for you. _17_ For example, get them a
35、nice gift. If you live with your parents, do some extra housework without being asked._18_ Often, people do not get along because they fail to take others perspective. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these
36、different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.Avoid unnecessary arguments. Sometimes arguments are unavoidable, but do your best to avoid unnecessary quarrels. This may mean that you have to bite your tongue when one of your parents says something controversial. _19_ If it is
37、, make the point clearly and modestly in order to avoid an overly emotional argument.Dont ask for their advice unless you really want it. Sometimes problems arise in relationships between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents can try to give advice that
38、might hurt your sense of independence. _20_ Otherwise, you may be opening the door to frustration on your part. APut yourself in their shoes.BBe happy with them for this.CShow your appreciation with your actions.DIt can hurt to feel taken for granted, even for parents.EProblems between parents and c
