However, a young South African man has come up with
15、an interesting alternativehe spends his days spreading the joy of reading and selling books written by his favorite authorsHe is Philani Dladla , who is known as Pavement Bookworm.While people dont know much about how the 24-year-old became a homeless man and how long he has been selling books on th
16、e streets, the worlds attention has been focused on the young man recently. Thanks to an interview conducted by South African director, TebogoMalope.In the video named Pavement Bookworm, the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion(热爱) for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of dru
17、gs and live a different life. The well-spoken young man also talks about his favorite authors and clearly appreciates what makes him a fan of each one of them.Not surprisingly, after Malope uploaded the “Pavement Bookworm“ video on YouTube. Dladla has become a celebrity(名人). In addition to being int
18、erviewed by other journalists, he has also received several job offers and even a visit from Steven Sidley, the author of Entanglement who hand-delivered(人工递送) his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.The best thing is that this newly found fame has led to a business boom. Locals now go out of the
19、ir way to seek Dladla for book discussions and most importantly to buy his recommendations. What s heart-warming is that despite being hardly able to make ends meet，Dladla does not accept money from children who are interested in getting a book from him. In order to keep up with the increased demand
20、，Malope is collecting book donations on behalf of the cheerful young man whose mission(使命) in life is to spread his passion for reading!36Dladla is different from other homeless people in that_.A.he is making a living by selling books on the street B.he is the only person who has changed the world C

22、fter reading.

B.He has always been surrounded by many readers with interest. C.He has become a figure interview
23、ed and visited by others. D.His story has been well described in a famous book.39Which of the following words can best describe Dladla?A.Ambitious. B.Creative. C.Passionate. D.DeterminedBWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduc
24、es the risk of acid accumulation (积累)in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the foo
25、d. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖). When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested foo
26、d moves slowly through the digestive tract(消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanis
27、m that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原) and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and
28、 enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the bodys cells. The bodys metabolism (新陈代谢 ) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract m
29、akes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize(中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating
30、 the right types of raw and whole foods can help. Its also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to ta
31、ke an active approach.40It can be inferred from Para.2 that _.A.foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit B.wed better be cautious about raw and whole foods C.it is essential for people to protect their vital organs D.giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle41Processed foods are u
32、nhealthy because they _.A.destroy bodys cells B.may lead to obesity C.are difficult to digest D.stop bodys metabolism42What is the main purpose of this passage?A.To warn people of the problem of obesity. B.To advocate (提倡) eating more raw and whole foods. C.To inform people of the harm of processed
33、foods. D.To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.43What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A.Different causes of acid accumulation. B.Correct ways to cook raw foods. C.Suitable types of raw and whole foods. D.Active approaches to avoid acid.CA survey sponsored
34、by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humor do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humor. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.The survey went
35、on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, whats more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues.Why? It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and be
36、tter team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension.Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us
37、 think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trices research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humor is real
38、ly this important, then why dont we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. They tend to think humor and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional, or perhaps both. However, it is important to rea
39、lize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.44Most people think a sense of humor can _.A.help you to do your work better B.make you have a rich life C.make you pleased with your work D.help you to make more friends45Many people dont use humor more
40、 in the workplace because _.A.they like keeping silent when working B.they dont know the positive effects of humor C.they think they should obey the rules D.they dont like joking or laughing46A person with a sense of humor is easier _.A.to feel surprised B.to get along with C.to be worried D.to be s
41、uccessful47What is the main idea of the passage?A.People with a Sense of Humor. B.Humor Is Important in the Workplace. C.Humor and Humorless. D.Everyone Likes Humor.DA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worri
42、es of many parents fearful for their childrens safety on the roads.Until now the local government has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of paren
43、ts ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children
44、live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the schools hea
45、dmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is a
46、lready an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport coul
47、d be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.48What is the aim of the plan?A.To prevent the students road accidents B.To relieve the traffic pressure C.To save time for the parents and students D.To help the parents save money49How can the local government
48、 arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A.By letting the bus run in the morning only B.By limiting the number of the students C.By getting the support from the headmaster D.By linking the new bus service with the existing one50Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A.The bus company will make much more money B.The children can choose whatever school they like C.The parents can get rid of their worries D.The students in Limington School can have free bus rides51This passage is most probably _A.a personal letter B.an advertisement C.a headmast
