Every New Year, many people make promises to themselves, only to see them fall by the wayside within a few months, weeks, or even days. However, 26-year-old Luke Cameron is not among those people. After losing a close friend known for her generosity (憔慨) and died of cancer in 2013, the young man decided to do at least one good deed (好事) every day for 365 days and he has not missed one yet.
Cameron performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people. Cameron’s good small deeds have been recorded in an online diary, like taking out the garbage for an elderly neighbor or spending a few hours helping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party. What’s more, the young man has also spent close to £4,000 of his own money, buying gifts for children in need.
Cameron has created a series of some cards, which he has called “Cards for Kindness”. Each card suggests a simple act of kindness things like giving a stranger a hug or making peace with an enemy, which is to encourage others to perform good deeds.
Cameron’s generosity has not gone unnoticed. To reward the young man as he nears the end of his journey, pizza chain Domino’s recently awarded him a year’s supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted young man has decided to use the gift to hold special pizza days for charity. His kind deeds have also won him a competition for the job of “National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager”.

A. The need of a competition. B. The requirement of his job.
C. The influence of his families. D. The death of a close friend.
2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

We’ve all seen them. They were the unfamiliar and often socially awkward kids. “Who are they?” we all whispered. When we asked our parents about these kids, they replied in that slightly high-nosed tone, “Oh, they’re homeschooled.”
Despite the disgrace which still surrounds homeschooling, parents who choose this form of education are finally getting their benefits. Since 1999, the number of parents who choose to homeschool their children has grown by 75%. And although the number of children in a homeschooling environment still only account for only 4% of the total number of school-going youth, the number of parents choosing to give up “traditional” public education is growing seven times faster than the rate of children being enrolled in public schools each year.
For those who argue that these numbers do not justify the effectiveness of a homeschooled education, we might instead look to the statistics. The typical homeschooled child scores in the 65th to 89th percentile on standardized testing, while the average child in a public school environment scores somewhere around the 50th percentile. Further, homeschooled children have been shown to score consistently higher on the ACT and go on to earn higher GPAs as college students. Homeschooled children have even been shown to achieve four year degrees at much higher rates than students from public school and private schools.
The benefits don’t stop there. Whereas the average total expenditure for a child in public school is near $10,000 a year, those for the homeschooled child average is somewhere between $500 and $600 a year. So not only does homeschooling provide educational benefits, but it provides financial payoffs as well.
But what about socialization? Homeschooled children are considered by many to lack basic social skills, supporters of homeschooling claim this is not true. The National Home Education Research Institute claims that homeschooled children have actually shown to become more socially engaged individuals than their peers, showing “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.”
So what might the future bring? Will more parents opt for homeschooling than public schooling? And what can be done to stop the apparent downfalls in public schooling?
5. The underlined words “Oh, they’re homeschooled.” in Para. 1 suggests that parents _________________.
A. are proud of their own children. B. respect homeschooled kids.
C. Don’t accept socially awkward kids. D. have a low opinion on homeschooling.
6. From Para. 2 we know that the trend of homeschooling _________________.
A. is worrying. B. is on the rise.
C. remains consistent. D. is going downward.
7. The statistics in Para. 3 is used to show _________________.
A. homeschooled kids do better.
B. public school education is more effective.
C. homeschooled children earn higher GPS at college.
D. public school children score in the 50th percentile.
8. The author’s attitude towards homeschooling is _________________.
A. critical B. negative C. supportive D. neutral
C
The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
9. The project is meant to _________________.
A. increase the world’s food production in the future
B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
D. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?
A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever.
D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
11. We can infer from the text that _________________.
A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.
B. The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture.
C. Norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20 years ago.
D. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before.
12. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) of Plant Seeds in Plan
B. The Best Place to Store Seeds
C. Concerns of World Food Supply
D. A New Way to Feed the World
