That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild.

Theyll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, youll probably think. But in fact, when the starters pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla costumes through the capitals streets, passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Pauls Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa. Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, youre looking to really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what youve been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage. Its more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised 5 million. But fundraising doesnt have to involve physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Biebers song Baby over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this. Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in. If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay 60 to register.

Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Going Crazy for Charity! B. Protecting Our Rare Animals! C. Competing in Unusual Events! D. Watching Out for Aggressive Animals!CBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的)circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman who is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualifies required.This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.29. The word “liability” most probably means _. A. disadvantage B. advantageC. misfortune D. trouble30. Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_. A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. affects men and women alike31. It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often_.A. prejudicedB. supportive C. old-fashioned D. objective32. The author writes this passage to _.A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveC. demand equal rights for women D. state the importance of appearance D Cursive (手写体)is about to become extinct. Do we raise the red flag? To teach or not to teach cursive is the question that several state education departments are struggling with.Before you read this write-up $, do a simple exercise. Pick a pen and paper and start writing in cursive. Yes，that fancy handwriting that you learned in grade school. You may not have forgotten the good times you had while writing loopy Ps and Gs as well as curly Ms and Ns. However，the chances are that you wont be able to write it as excellently as you used to. Some people are good at making the perfect loops and curls，while some are bad. I am still terrible at it. Cursive is hardly used by kids anymore as even adults don t write in this style，unless they are using it for their signature. Learning this handwriting was a usual practice in school for several decades. However，in 2011, the Indiana Department of Education made it optional for schools to teach cursive writing to the students. In fact, there were 46 more states who have done the same. There are some who believe that it is high time for cursive to retire from school curriculum. After all，if we don t leave the past behind，we cannot make way for new things. If you walk into any classroom，you would find children using keyboards to communicate in written form. On the other hand，fans of this cursive insist on its usefulness. They remind us that if we stop teaching and learning cursive in schools，very soon most of our historical documents will become hard to us. Where do we stand on this subject? Is it the right time to erase an almost forgotten handwriting and live in the keyboarding world? Or can we do both without compromising (妥协)on our school curriculum? Let me know your thoughts on this matter by leaving a comment in the section below.33. People use cursive when they . A. give their signature B. are in Indiana C. grow up as adults D. are at school34. In Indiana school, children . A. must learn cursive B. are interested in cursive C. can choose to learn cursive D. learn cursive everyday 35. It can be inferred that the author .
