For most people, traveling is relaxing, educational, and fun. For some, it is also a chance to give something to others. Volunteer vacationing, or traveling as a worker—learner, is a mix between adventure travel and cultural immersion(浸泡). The main purpose is to use your skills to benefit others and the world around you as you learn about other people and places.

This type of volunteering is open to almost everyone. There are usually no language requirements or professional demands, and training is provided on the job. Volunteers are of all ages and backgrounds. However, volunteers must be in good health and be willing to try new things.

Many companies organize these types of vacations. Volunteers can choose from among projects close to home, such as clearing nearby hiking trails, or projects in other countries, such as aiding in the protection of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) off the coast of Fuji or studying the environment near Hong Kong to learn how to preserve nearby wetlands. Many people choose to work on projects in locations they would not ordinarily visit on their own.

An assignment can last from a week to several months. Depending on time and need, there are many different types of volunteer projects, from teaching and health care to helping to plan businesses and setting up libraries. There are also ecological projects, such as the ones mentioned above, where the environment is the central focus.

Volunteers help people even as they benefit from the trips themselves. Not only do they get the satisfaction of helping others, but they also have the opportunity to learn. Some volunteers stay in community centers and private homes, making communication with local people.

Usually, volunteers pay a service fee for participating in a program. Often, housing and meals are included, but transportation to and from the project is not. Most of the fees go to support program efforts, which mean that volunteers are not only helping by giving their time and energy, but they are also giving financial assistance.

A. protect our environment   

B. earn some money while working

New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transport.

In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.

The second way to travel around the city is going by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.

You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.

The best time to travel around the city is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.  

)56. The fastest way to travel around New York is going by    

A. subway   B. taxi   C. bus   D. car

)57. Traveling around New York by taxi is      .

A. the slowest   B. the most expensive   C. the best   D. the easiest

C. From 4:00am to 9:00am    D. From 10:00am to 3:00pm

  Many years ago when people had no thermometers, they usually touched a thing to see how hot or cold it was. The following experiment shows how easy it was to make a mistake.

Take three glasses: the first one with very hot water, the second one with very cold water, and the third one with water at room temperature. Then you put a finger of one hand in the hot water, and a finger of the other hand in the cold water. You hold your fingers in the two glasses for a minute. Then you use each finger, one after another, to see how hot or cold the water in the third glass is. You will find that the water is warm to the finger that was in the cold water before, but the finger which was in the hot water will feel cold in the same glass of water.

That is why you must always find the temperature in a scientific way. You must not try to tell the temperature as it seems to you.

You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact. For example, when you are going to an amusement park by bus and you want to get there very quickly, it seems to you that your bus is going very slowly, much more slowly than the other buses. But if it is Sunday and you have much free time, it seems to you all the buses and cars are going very fast.

)60. The experiment tells us that sometimes it is       to make a mistake.

A. interesting   B. difficult   C. easy   D. helpful

)61.How should we find the temperature according to the passage?

A. Try to tell as it seems to us.       B. Try to use our fingers.

C. Try to tell in a scientific way.     D. Try to touch something to see how hot it is.

)62.Which one of the following is the real fact in the city according to the passage?

A. The buses to the amusement park go very slowly.

B. On Sunday buses can go very fast.

C. Buses can go as fast as on Sunday.

D. The buses to the amusement park are not so slow in fact as you feel.

)63. We can learn something about     from the passage.

A. physics    B. chemistry   C. psychology   D. biology

  Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. Recent research shows among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad.

“Chinese children are eager to go abroad to get a wider view, less academic competition or even family honor,” said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. “But life in foreign countries can be hard for young people.”

 “We have to face the culture shock and language problem,” said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London.

However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome. To most children, controlling themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge.

Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student from Shanghai, entered high school in Melbourne, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom pushed students to study. And usually there wasn’t much homework.

Some of his friends spend their whole year’s money in the first two months of the new term. “Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and broaden their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges,” Chen said.

21. Why do the students expect to go abroad?

                                                                    

22. What do the students have to face when in foreign countries?

                                                                   

23.Do the students in Australia have more free time?

                                                                    

24.What’s the article mainly about?
