My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people
appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how
they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I
asked him about it and he said
they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a
new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was

1
having a difficult time.




We wanted to help him, so
we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary
contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he
wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that
someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so
touched by our idea that he
waived
the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!




It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift
came about.
I believe that
when people hear his story, ideas of kindness may have emerged
in the
minds of
many
people.
24. Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?





A. It was very warm and fine.










B. His old glasses were broken.




C. His glasses were missing.











D. He forgot to wear his glasses.
25. From the passage, we can infer that ________.




A. Charlie was a young man with skills




B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses




C. Charlie didn’t support his family wi
th enough money




D. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
26. The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _________.





A. gave up







B. took up









C. cut down








D. put off
27. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?




A. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others



B. Customers’ Gift to an Employee





C. A Friendly Clerk

D. An Expensive Pair of Glasses

In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential
（
潜能）
to the fullest extent. Fathers
and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals.
American
parents
are
always
active
in
concentrating
on
what
their
kids
can
d
o,
not
what
they
can’t.
As
a
re
sult,
millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of
them even want to become president.




American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such
as
student
government,
sports
and
music.
They
believe
that
only
through
taking
part
in
these
activities
can
their
children become mature young adults.




To be sure, schoolwork is important. But parents realize that the social skills their children learn form natural
conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork
and the skills they will need in the future work. What’s
more important in their work: a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively?




As
a
rule,
Chinese
parents
don’t
educate
their
children
about
the
same
kind
of
ambition
and
confidence
as
Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised
to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. Time away from
schoolbooks is seen as time wasted.




Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential
of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential
of their children. I am very confident about it.
28. From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to ________.




A. the social skills than Chinese parents


B. their children’s studying hard and well





C. what their children want but they can’t


D. extra activities than schoolwork
29. According to the passage, Chinese parents _________.




A. know more than American parents to educate their children




B. attach great importance to ambition and confidence

2




C. pay much more attention to their children’s fine future





D. don’t encourage their chi
ldren to participate in extra activities
30. From the passage, we can know _________.




A. American children are brave and adventurous




B. American children are more active in their studies




C. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively




D. Something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China
31. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Chinese education reform?





A. Neutral.






B. Indifferent.







C. Positive.








D. Negative.

Nowadays
many
people
are
concerned
about
the
problem
of
what
to
do
with
electronic
waste
such
as
old
televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.




Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know
what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.




National Solid Waste Management Association
（
NSWMA
）

state programs director Chaz Miller says the large
amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.




The US Environmental Protection Agency
（
EPA
）

estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items
are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills
（垃圾填埋场）
and create
recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore
says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just
putting them in the landfill,
and in certain components there are some materials that
should not really be in the landfill.”





Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6
percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep
e-waste poisons like lead
（铅）
and mercury
（汞）
out of garbage dumps.




This year several states like V
ermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states
have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.
“We
can
do
much
better,”

noted
Miller.
“I
think
clearly
our
goal
should
be
to
do
as
well
as
we
do
recycling
newspapers.”

32. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?




A. Old televisions.



















B. Old computers.




C. Old cell phones.



















D. Old newspapers.
33. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?




A. Because it can not be recycled.




B. Because the landfills are already full.




C. Because it might damage the environment.




D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.
34. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?




A. Recycling it.



B. Selling it.







C. Burying it.







D. Breaking it.
35. What can we learn from the passage?




A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.




B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.




C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.




D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.
