9、water is mon,”said Tommy Kelly, a student at 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 before they found out that kids in many other countries dont have it. They said they couldnt be
10、lieve 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 in Uganda.They planned to collect donations for each of the kilometers they walked. And they planned to wa
11、lk approximately five kilometersthe distance they say many kids have to walk to get water every day. The Patton kids timed their walk to coincide with World Water Day in order to raise awareness about the importance of conserving water.Experts say all of us need to be more conscious of how much wate
12、r we useor we might not have enough to go around in the future. According to a study, a number of factors are putting strain on Ugandas water supply. Experts say climate change could cause droughts in places where water was once plentiful. And the major factor is: as Ugandas population grows, not on
13、ly are people using more water as a whole, but the farmers also have to use more water to grow more crops. The United Nations says nearly 2 million people there already dont have access to clean water. And in some munities, the same water gets used for bathing, cleaning, drinking and sanitation (卫生)
14、. 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 to conserve water, the results might just add up.Thats why Tommy got involved in the Walk for Water and he has taken a great step for u
15、s.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.

17、hat _A. 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(利他主义)as part of
18、 a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles.He defined it as “intentional action for the welfare of others that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or a loss to the actor”. At that time, studies of animal behavior and phrenology (颅相学) led him to loca
19、te egotistical (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) and biochemical factors that underpin kind behavior. And this science forms the bases of two books aimed at general readersbut also at
20、those who, despite the research, still doubt the existence of altruism.However, the books may end up providing more information for the naysayers. Take The Altruistic Brain by neuroscientist Donald Pfaff. On solid scientific ground, he builds a five-step theory of how altruism occurs, which depends
21、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, then mentally transform their image into your own, “from angle to angle and curve to curve”. Does it really work?At the core of evol
22、utionary 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 corner masterfully, providing a clever reply to the belief that natural selection occurs only at the level of the selfish gene:
23、 “Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups,” he says.In other words, we cooperate when doing so gives our team the advantage. That doesnt sound very selfless either.Wilson acknowledges this, but argues that thoughts and feelings are less important than actions.
24、 According to evolutionary theory, pure altruists do exist, but it doesnt matter why people choose to help otherstheir reasons may be difficult even for themselves to understand. What matters is that humans can coordinate their activities in just the right way to achieve mon goals. Other animals do
25、this too, but we are masters. “Teamwork is the signature adaptation of our species,” he says.Pfaff goes further, insisting that our brain biology “urges us to be kind”. He believes this knowledge alone will inspire individuals to be more altruistic. His desire to create a better world is admirable a
26、nd some 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 a resistance to being pushed around. Which one es to the fore depends on the environment in which we find ourselves. Ethi
27、cs, he says, cannot be taught at individual level, but are “a property of the whole system”.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 colleagu
28、e 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 in the trunk.26. The word “naysayers” (in paragraph 3) most probably means _.A. people who doubts som
29、ething B.people who take a positive attitudeC. people who have no say in an areaD. people who are experts in an area27. 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 helped C. V
30、isualize 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 al
31、truism proves to be impractical in modern 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 helping foreign panies earn billions in China,where a name is thought to make or break you
32、r luck. For panies, ing up with a name that fits the firm is difficult enough. But its even more Challenging in Chinese, which has many dialects and scores of homophones that can lead to unintended double entendres . For example, in Chinese, the word for tallsounds exactly like the word forcake; the
33、yre both pronounced gao,The wrong name will just give the wrong impression, said Tait Lawton, founder of Nanjing Marketing Group. Best Buy (BBY), for example, didnt have a very attractive Chinese name, using a near-direct translation from English, Lawton said. While its hard to tell just how much th
34、e name had to do with its business prospects, the electronics retailer never became popular 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 have significant meanings in Chinese: Coca-Cola (KO) came up with a clever
35、 one, kekou kele, which means delicious fun, and stays true to the original English. On top of that, part of the name sounds like the Chinese word for thirsty.While that kind of significance might be lost to a foreigners ears, its something that sticks with Chinese consumers, who are more inclined t
36、o remember the Chinese name over the English one, said Vladimir 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 of wealth. Goldman Sachs name in Chinese is gao sheng,
37、or highly prosperous. London bank HSBC went with hui feng, which roughly translates to gathered abundance. Others, like French grocery chain, Carrefour, will want to appear more consumer-friendly. Its Chinese name, jia le fu, means happy family.29. What makes foreign panies choosing Chinese names di
38、fficult?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 ancient culture.30. Best Buy changed its Chinese name in xx, because A. it wasnt very meaningful B. Labbrand made a change to itC. it wasnt tran
39、slated accuratelyD. 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 C
40、hinese culture. DIn the past, loading up the entire family for a road trip for a vacation was a much expected annual activity. With the high prices of gas, many people are going against the trend of taking a normal vacation, but prefer a staycationinstead. As the name suggests, staycations are vacat
41、ions that are close to home and dont require extensive travel.High gas prices may prove a cause for staycations. Many families are discovering attractions and events close to home and being tourists in their own home cities. Some popular staycation activities include visits to local theme parks or w
42、ater parks, local festivals or museums. Many families simulate camping trips by setting up tents in their own backyards.Staycations saw a rise in popularity shortly after the economic collapse of xx, when families started tightening the belt and cutting luxuries out of the family budget. Traveling c
43、lose to home has bee popular amongst families looking to cut costs without cutting the fun. Staycations prove an affordable solution to costly road travel. A family of four can save thousands of dollars in travel expenses.Families must take care to treat their staycation just as a traditional away-
44、from-home vacation. Many people who stay close to home on vacation find themselves checking email, returning phone calls, going to the office and being involved in household chores during their staycations. Setting clear boundaries and making a schedule ahead of time can reduce the temptation to fal
45、l into work while on staycation.With the increase in popularity of the staycation, many businessmen see these cash-strapped travelers as a goldmine. Some resorts, theme parks and amusement activities have started charging higher prices to earn profits from the families enjoying their staycations clo
46、se to home. To avoid being overcharged, staycationers should create and stick to a budget, just as they would on a traditional vacation.32. What is the main reason for the rise of staycations? A.
