B Bobby Qualls was shopping when he received a text message: Fire on Beechmont, one-story house, child trapped inside. “I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas,” remembers Qualls, who has been fig
19、hting fires in Memphis for 24 years. “I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over.” The last time Qualls had been on Beechmont Street was to install smoke detectors (感应器 ) at the Bateman-Tubbs home. Hed been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays. The
20、re he discovered that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses (床垫 ), and he found two of the boys playing outside in 30- degree weather with no shoes or coats. Qualls learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly Bateman stayed
21、home with the kids. “When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys, at first I thought we didnt need any help,” Bateman recalls. “It really touched me. I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes.” Thats exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9, 20
22、10: winter jackets for Christopher, seven; JoJo, four; Madison, one; and two-month-old Charles. While driving over to Beechmont Street, he dialed Batemans cell phone. She answered on the first ring, screaming, “The house is on fire - JoJos trapped inside!” By the time Qualls reached the house, the f
23、amily had gotten out, but their home was severely damaged. His coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom. He had stopped breathing and had been given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Qualls learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make it through the nig
24、ht. He rushed to the hospital with Lt. Mark Eskew, who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a firefighters suit on JoJos bed. “I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes,” Bateman recalls. “There was nothing else I could do. They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach
25、for days.” After a few days, though, JoJo regained consciousness, and the tubes were taken out of his throat. While he began to slowly recover, the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story, and the Secret Santa Plan of Qualls and his fellow firefighters snowballed. Before long, the fire
26、 station was overflowing with boxes of toys, food, towels, and clothes. People called, wanting to donate furniture and appliances too. By December 23, Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home. By Christmas Eve, JoJo was ready to leave the hospital, and the firefighters were read
27、y to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle. “These guys arent just firefighters,” says Bateman, “theyre our guardian angels. If they hadnt installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house, we wouldnt have known when the fire started. Then they went the extra ten miles t
28、o give us a Christmas.” 25. What did Qualls do after he received a text message? A. He went to pick out gifts. B. He hurried to the fire station. C. He drove to the burning house. D.

30、cation got lost in the wash up. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back. At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法 ) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account - let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly compl
31、ex and demanding world. Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything fro
32、m pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up“ earlier this month - the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe fina
33、ncial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum. As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are
34、in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支 ) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents generation unless they rec
35、eive good quality financial education while at school.” The UK has been in the worst financial recession (衰退 ) for generations. It does seem odd that unless parents step in young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a
36、recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents. 28. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to manage school lessons. B. How to deal with the financial crisis. C. Teaching young people about money. D. Teaching students how to s
37、tudy effectively. 29. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. The author complains about the school education. B. Pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract. C. Students have been taught to manage their finances. D. Laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
38、. 30. According to Pfeg, _. A. it is easy to keep good habits long B. teenagers spend their money as planned C. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids D. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone 31. A poll is mentioned to _. A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform B
39、. show the seriousness of the financial recession C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal D Great white sharks, the worlds largest predatory (食肉的 ) fish, eat three to four times more food than previously thought, an Australian st
40、udy shows. The U.S. research from the 1980s estimated a meal of 30 kilograms could make a one-ton shark continue living for more than six weeks. That made assumptions that large sharks could survive long periods without eating. However, a University of Tasmania-led study published this week in Scien
41、tific Reports found that 30kg was only enough for 12-15 days. Researchers tagged (给 附上标签 ) a dozen great white sharks at Neptune Islands off South Australia and calculated their metabolic (新陈代谢的 ) rate based on swimming speeds. They worked out how much energy the sharks burned and how much food they
42、 required. “Their metabolic rate is faster than we assumed.” Jayson Semmens was the lead author on the study. He said, “They (U.S. researchers) picked a shark that probably wasnt working very hard at the time when they did it. At the time it was a new study. They did some metabolic work similar to u
43、s but on one shark.” “The white sharks, which we tagged, are working pretty hard theyre coming up to some pretty high speed to catch the seals.” he said, ”Their metabolic rate is much faster than what we had assumed. These animals are probably going to be feeding every day, rather than several weeks
44、.” The research also sought to improve understanding of how sharks fit into the ocean ecosystem. “We dont have a good handle on the population sizes of white sharks. We know that sharks in general are under pressure around the world from overfishing.” Semmens said, “Furthermore, theyre long-lived. T
45、hey reproduce late in their life and they produce a small number of babies.” Semmens said the effects of removing white sharks from the ocean were thus far more important than realized. “Theyre keeping under control a lot more animals than we thought,” he said. 32. The U.S. research made people beli
46、eve that . A. large sharks could live without eating meat B. sharks gained several kilograms in six weeks C. a one-ton shark needed to eat 30 kg every meal D. large sharks could live without eating for several weeks 33.
