Volunteers may work within their countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(錄像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”36. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _.A. is willing to help those in need without payB. can afford to travel to different placesC. has a strong wish to be successfulD. has made a big fortune in life【標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案】A?！驹囶}解析】 文章第一段就是解釋志愿者這個(gè)概念。 從 They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.

And paying someone else to do the chores(家務(wù)活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost 349.At over 18,000 a year thats more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social worker. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns 457 a week at nearly 24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(費(fèi)時(shí)).A wife with a part-time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours sharply as children get older. While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands dont understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen thats the real test.”40. Who earns most according to the text?A. A social worker. B. A fireman.C. A gardener. D. A teacher.【標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案】D。【試題解析】從第一、二段可知。social worker, fireman 的薪水 每年低于18,000；gardener 的薪水按照最高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 34952= 18,148.第二段后面提到教師的薪水將近24,000。【高考考點(diǎn)】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。41.

Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(氣候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (傳統(tǒng)的), people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can slao happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.44. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?A. They eat too much for lunch.B. They sleep too little at night. C. Their body temperature becomes lower.D.
