Many companies in the United States have a Matching Gift program, which offers certain amount of money to these organizati

18、ons when its employee makes a personal donation. The following list includes information on four major companies matching gift programs. The Coca-Cola Limitation Coca-Cola offers a matching gift program for employees through which the company triples (三倍于)donations to educational organizations, arts

19、& cultural organizations and environmental groups. If you have donors who work for Coke, then make sure theyre submitting these grant requests , as the tripling of employee donations can go a long way.GE Foundation The GE Foundation matches at a 1:1 ratio with a minimum required donation of $ 25

20、 and a maximum donation of $25,000 per year. Employees (both part and full-time), spouses ,and retires are all eligible for their matching gift program.Google Google offers a generous matching gift program through which the company matches donations form employees to a wide range of organizations.Th

21、is is through either the companys personal matching gift program or through the matching of fundraising efforts for events such as walks , marathons, bike rides, etc. Each Google employee can request up to $12,000 in matching funds annually through its different matching gift programs.Verizon Verizo

22、n has a solid matching gift program in place for its full-time and part-time employees and for its retires.Verizon matches donations at a 1：1 ratio, with a minimum gift requirement of $25 and a maximum gift requirements of $ 1,000 per year, per donor . The company will match a maximum of $5,000 per

23、year , per donor for donation to higher education.56. When a companys employee makes a donation to a nonprofit, the Matching Gift programs will _.A. compensate the employee B. donate instead of the employeeC. give certain donations as well D. organize some voluntary events 57.From the list ,we know

24、that _.A. Coca-Cola offers three times donations of its employees to religious groups.B. Coca-Cola handles its employees donations request quickly.C.GE and Verizon will give the same amount, if an employee donates $20.D. Googles employees can claim matching gift in various forms.58.The purpose of th

25、is passage is _.A. to inform B. to entertain C.to explain D. to persuadeBFlickering lights are annoying but they may have an advantage. Visible light communication (VLC) uses rapid pluses of light to transmit information wirelessly. Now it may be ready to compete with conventional Wi-fi.In a recent

26、TED talk, Harald Hasas from the University of Edinburge,UK demonstrated one VLC prototype(原型），“Li-Fi", transmitting a video from a store-bought LED lamp to a solar cell to a laptop. “Li-Fi is essentially the same as Wi-Fi,except for a small difference- we use LED lights around us to transmit th

27、e data wirelessly as opposed to using radio," Haas says.Once established, VLC could solve some major communication problems. In 2009, the US Federal Communications Commission(FCC) warned of spectrum (波譜）crisis: because our mobile devices are so data- hungry we will soon run out of radio-frequen

28、cy bandwidth.Li-Fi could free up bandwidth, especially as much of the infrastructure is already in place."There are around14 billion light bulbs worldwide, they just need to replaced with LED ones that transmit data", says Haas.The idea of transmitting data through the visible light spectr

29、um is not new.Alexander Graham Bell transmitted sound via a beam of sunlight in 1880 using a photo phone, a sort of solar-powered wireless telephone. In the past several decades, a number of researchers have looked at using visible light to transmit data.But what Haas seized on is the use of simple

30、LED light bulbs for data transmission. LED bulbs are controlled by a driver, which can rapidly di the light or turn it on or off. Therefore, Haas figured, data could be encoded in subtle shifts of the lights brightness. Eventually, he creaded a working transmitter and receiver system with an IKEA la

31、mp and a solar panel.Li-Fi stands to be much faster than Wi-Fi. According to Haas research, Li-Fi can achieve data density 1000 times greater than Wi-Fi,because Li-Fi signals are contained in a small area, as opposed to the more diffuse (分散的)，radio signals.The system wouldnt mean having to keep your

32、 lights on all the time either, Haas says-bulbs could be dimmed to such a point that they appear off, but still transmit data.Now, Haas team hopes that Li-Fi could make its way into homes in a few years. The system can easily network any device with an LED lightan electric kettle, an oven. Eventuall

33、y, this could bring about the Internet of Things era much faster. Haas also sees Li-Fi as a way to bring internet to remote location, using hilltop transmitters and rooftop solar panels. LED streetlights could even be used to form a network of outdoor Li-Fi, making it possible to stay connected when

34、 walking around the city.But some sound a cautious note about VLCs future. It becomes less powerful , for example,when light is blocked, wheather due to fog or other conditions.59.By saying "There are around14 billion light bulbs worldwide”Haas intended to tell us that _.A. mobile devices will

35、consume more dataB. radio-frequency bandwidth needs to be freed up.C. VLC might solve the spectum crisis.D. the world has a complete lighting infrastructure.60. The underlined phrased “seized on“ in the passage is closet in meaning to “_”A distinguished B. exploited C. created D. figured61. We can l

36、earn from the passage that _.A. Li-Fi cant work outdoors. B Li-Fi can work with LED lights off. C. Li-Fi can be used with all household appliances. D. Li-Fi needs improving to next diverse need.C“Theres no point in talking with you: you dont understand me. You dont even know me.” A teen spits these

37、words at a parent, who is hurt and annoyed. How can her own child say these things? Shes worked hard getting to know him, learning to read his feelings from his voice and gestures. How can her own child now say to her, “You dont know who I really am”?Nothing shakes a parents confidence as much as th

38、e starting of a childs adolescence. The communication that has flowed easily through words, glance and touch becomes a minefield(雷區(qū))Recent discoveries that the human brain undergoes specific and dramatic development during adolescence offer new “explanations” of teen behavior, particularly of the im

39、pulsiveness(沖動(dòng)) of teenagers. During this development, there may be too many synapses(神經(jīng)元突觸) for the brain to work efficiently, the mental capacities of decision-making, judgment and control are not mature until the age of twenty-four.An old explanation is that anger hormones account for the apparen

40、tly unreasonable moodiness(情緒化) of teens. Though hormones do play a role in human feelings, the real task of adolescence, and the real cause of the unrest, is the uncertainty of teenagers about who they are, alongside their eagerness to establish a sense of identity.This involves self-questioning, s

41、elf-discovery and self-development across a range of issues, including sex, faith, intellect and relationships. A sense of who we are is not a mere luxury; without it we feel worthless. A teen often looks upon his or her friends sa models: “ I dont know who I am, but I know who he is, Ill be like hi

42、m,” is the underlying thought. Parents also become such mirrors: teens want that mirror to reflect back to them the vividness and clarity they themselves do not feel.Arguments with parents can often be understood in this context. While those common teenager-parent quarrels, which explode every few d

43、ays, are often over small things such as homework, housework, and respect; a teenagers real focus is on a parents recognition of his maturity and capability and human value. “ No, you cant go out tonight,” implies that a parent you got your keys?” or “Do you have enough money for the bus?” are quest

44、ions that can be easily accepted if asked by a concerned friend, but awaken a teens own doubts if asked by a parent. Feeling the need to distinguish himself from the kid who cant remember to take his lunch, his keys or his money, he blames the parent for reminding him of the child-self still living

45、within him. What my research shows is that quarreling witj your teen doesnt necessarily mean you have a bad relationship. The quality of teenager-parent relationship has several measures.62. According to the text, teenagers_.A. can fully understand their parents feelingsB. need guidance in every asp

46、ect of their lifeC. may experience a huge mental changeD. know themselves better than their parents do63. What do we learn from the text?A. Parents hate talking to their children because they cant understand them.B. The brains of teenagers work more efficiently because of the synapses.C. Hormones ar

47、e the real causes of unrest and moodiness in teens.D. What teens really care about is being recognized by their parents.64. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Quarrels between children and parents often involve serious issues.B. A parent should not ask a child about money.C. A child wants resp

48、ect, especially from his or her parents.D. Quarrels are a sign of a bad relationship.65. What will probably be written in the following paragraph?A. Other ways of assessing teenager-parent relationship.B. The anger and sadness of parents about their teens.C. How important the friends of teenagers ar

49、e.D. When children become mentally mature. D The Toltec-as they were now called-began to know great abundance  and enjoy the generous gifts of the land, as had been foretold  by Quetzal

50、coatl.     “He has great powers.He has made us rich.We have not known hunger since he arrived.Where he places his eyes and hands,everything is abundance and

51、0;beauty.” They were happy, they were proud. At that time they all still worked at the jobs Quetzalcoatl assigned to them.Tula grew. People came from far away to admire its growth. Many asked permission to settle down and enjoy its abundance,which was distributed according to the needs of the people

52、.Topiltzin was in charge of distributing the riches,under the orders of Quetzalcoatl, so that no one would want. They were all content because they all had more than

53、 they had ever had. Many worked.They were busy all day.  Quetzalcoatl had spent six years among the Toltecs. The house for the heart of the people was almost finished and the granaries full when he decided. “There is prosperity(繁榮)and abundance in al

54、l the land.Let us extend it beyond the mountains.We shall go to the land of the Chichimecs.It is time to take my mission to them. I shall make them better,I shall make them live together,I shall gather them in towns,I shall teach them to till the land and to build their homes." "Let u

55、s leave them in their land as they are now ,"Topiltzin argued,"They are savages(野蠻人);their life is violent and disorderly.They move freely,like the wind in the mount

56、ains and the plains,with nothing to keep them.Leave them where they are.There is much that we must do in our  own land. "I do not belong to this land 

57、alone.They are all my brothers,I am to give all of them, I shall  look for them. I shall  take the gods of Tula to them,"Quetzalcoatl said.   "Th

58、ink carefully about what we shall do.You do not know them.They do not understand words. They are like savage animals,like jaguars," Topiltzin insisted. "I shall go,"said&

59、#160;Quetzalcoatl."My life must be accomplished.This time you will not accompany  me because you do not have the will to go.I shall leave soon with some of my followers." "Do not go with so few people! I shall accompany you with skillful warriors who are used to killing Chichimecs and avoid
