Meals on Wheels provides meals for the elderly and the disabled in Richland County, South

But Meals on Wheels delivers more than just a meal. The daily visit from a volunteer also
provides a warm smile and a safety check that helps keep seniors healthy and safe.Meals on Wheels' clients(客户)are the elderly and disabled adults in our community(社区)who
cannot have an enough, healthy diet, either because of transportation or financial difficulties. Nearly
three-fourths of them are at or below the national poverty level.

Anna Sproul-Latimer, a librarian from Arlington, Virginia, didn't realize that she had lost her
laptop on the trip from New York City to Washington D. C. until she walked out of the railway
station. She remembered clearly she had got on the train with her laptop.She used the Find My iPhone app and located her laptop in Woodbridge, Virginia. She realized
her laptop was likely stolen. She left messages on her computer through Find My iPhone-at first
polite messages requesting help and then later messages of anger demanding its return. But she
received no reply. Before anyone could take it off the grid( 断 网 ), she memorized its last listed
location – a neighborhood in Woodbridge.
At first, she tried calling the police in her area, but there wasn't much that could be done since
the laptop went missing in a state outside of the police's jurisdiction(管辖权).
She went to Google Earth and mapped the last location. Online, she found contact information
for a couple who lived in the neighborhood. She took a chance and emailed them informing them of
her hunt for her missing laptop. Then, she waited. She never heard back.
The couple did receive her entails, but instead of answering, they asked their neighbor-the
founder of a computer repair and buy-hack company, DotSight Solutions-to hell, them.
The neighbor, Imran Moorad, had just returned from the Apple Store repairing a used computer
he had purchased. When he heard about Sproul-Latimer's story, he examined the purchased
computers carefully. He found that one of the serial numbers of the computers he'd bought matched
Sproul-Latimer’s.
Moorad and Sproul-Latimer met up soon after at a Starbucks in Alexandria. Though Moorad
had spent $600 on the laptop purchase, he gave it back to her, no charge. To Moorad, even though he
lost $600, Sproul-Latimer’s happiness and appreciation made it all worth it.
24. Where did Anna Sproul-Latimer lose her laptop probably?
A. In a library. B. On a train. C. In the Apple Store. D. In Woodbridge.
25. Why (lid Anna Sproul-Latimer leave messages on her computer through Find My iPhone?
A. To track the thief. B. To locate her laptop.
C. To get back her laptop. D. To determine the thief's identity.
26. What did the couple do after they received the emails?
A. They turned to Imran Moorad for help. B. They ignored Sproul-Latimer’s demand.
C. They replied to Sproul-Latimer at once. D. They went to the police station right away.
27. We can say that Imran Moorad found the lost laptop .
A. with ease B. by chance C. at a Starbucks D. with the help of the police
CCelebrated annually on the second Monday in October, Columbus Day honors Italian explorer
Christopher Columbus's discovery of America in 1492. However, the official holiday has constantly
been argued due to the European settlers’ brutal treatment of the Native American people. It has also
been argued that America had already been "discovered" by the indigenous(土著的)people when
Columbus arrived.
Therefore, some states like Oregon, Iowa, and Nebraska have never observed it. South Dakota
renamed it "( 这 个 位 置 看 不 清 ) Americon Day" in 1990, while Hawaii has called the holiday
"Discoverers’ Day" since 1988. As public knowledge has increased, many schools and universities
across the country have also stopped marking the event.
Even so, many people were still upset that Columbus Day remained an official holiday. An
international conference in 1977 put forward renaming Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples’
Day"· They believed renaming the holiday would help honor the victims of American colonization.
Though the propose( 提 议 ) passed, it was in 1992 that the first city-Berkeley, CA-renamed
Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day. The coastal city of Santa Cruz, CA, followed shortly
after, in 1994. The movement lost steam again until 2014, when Minneapolis, MN, Grand Rapids,
MN, and Seattle, WA, decided to make the change. Since then, over 70 cities and states have
switched to the new name. In 2019, three more states-New Mexico, Vermont, and Maine-voted in
favor of the name change as well.
The movement has also gained ground in Latin America. Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Costa
Rica, Ecuador, Hondurus, Mexico, and Uruguay have all renamed Columbus Day to "Dia de la
Raza" or "Day of the Race". It celebrates Latin America's mixed indigenous and European culture.
As would be expected, not everyone believes a name change is necessary. Italian Americans,
who have made Columbus Day the most important feature of Italian Heritage Month, celebrated
throughout October, argue the holiday honors the history of immigration(移民), not the explorer.
They, therefore, believe the name should be kept.
28. What do you learn about Columbus Day?
A. It was observed by all American states.
B. It has long caused public argument.
C. It became the official holiday in 1492.
D. It honors Columbus’s discovery of the U.S. A.29. What does the underlined word "brutal" mean in the first paragraph?
A. peaceful B. fair C. cruel D. special
30. Which of the following is the last to adopt the new name "Indigenous Peoples’ Day"?
A. Santa Cruz, CA. B. Grand Rapids, MN. C. Seattle, WA. D. Vermont.
31. What is Italian Americans’ attitude toward the holiday’s name change?
A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
D
Nowadays, college applications put a lot of emphasis on community service hours. Most high
schools also have graduation requirements. More and more people are volunteering their time.
However, I have begun to think that this may not be the best way to approach community service.
Some of my classmates tell me that they are highly involved in a voluntary organization for
college applications. I ask them to explain in detail, and they reply with "Oh, I have X number of
hours." With further questioning I have discovered that these volunteers don't even know the
responsibility of the organization! This deeply bothered me. At what point did community service
enter the category of "Required" and “Step to getting into a good college" rather than the categories
of "Doing Good Things" and “How to Give Back"?
Community service should not be just about getting into college, or about gathering points for
your resume(简历). It should be about helping the greater community, and learning what it means to
be a generous citizen of our world. As to choosing the organization, don't think about how you will
benefit from it, but how your actions will help others.
The main way to solve this issue would be to update the college and high-school requirements.
Instead of just asking "how many hours have you volunteered", ask "how have your actions helped
others". Look for personal commitment rather than concrete hours of community service.
Next time you are volunteering, try to forget the fact that your hours are important, because
really, they are not. Choose organizations that you are enthusiastic about. Don't volunteer because
you have to. Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being. Next time you hear a
friend commenting on how many hours they have, remind them that it isn't the numbers that change
the world.
32. According to the passage, community service is required when people want to .
A. enter a good college B. update their resumes C. receive medical care D. get a scholarship
33. What can we infer about the author?
A. He or she was turned down by a university.
B. He or she refused to do community service.
C. He or she is probably a high-school student.
D. He or she attended a voluntary organization.
34. In the author' s opinion，the present college and high-school requirements should be .
A. avoided B. improved C. accomplished D. supported
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. College Applications Shouldn't Include Community Service .
B. Students Are Highly Involved in Voluntary Organizations
C. Community Service Hours Are Key to Entering Good Colleges
D. Community Service Is More Than School Requirements

Meetings are necessary for a company. 36 But with the help of technology, more and
more companies are using video conferencing(视频会议)as a meeting or communication tool. The
following are some benefits of video conferencing for a company.
1. Reduce travel costs.
The immediate benefit of video conferencing is on the travel costs for any company involved.
Whether it's a meeting between different unit heads from different places or a communication means
with customers or business partners that are spread across different cities or countries, video
conferencing eliminates( 消 除 )the need for travel. Although personal contact is still important in
much of the business world, some meetings that are considered routine(例会)may be done through
communication via video. 37
2. Hire potential employees faster.
Video conferencing also helps the company to hire the right people for a specific position at a
much faster speed. Hiring managers, for example, need not travel or, to distant places just to discuss
basic personal information with a potential employee. 38 3. Increase efficiency(效率)for teams.
Teams or units that are located in different areas may also get benefit from regular video
conferencing. 39 It is also a great way to keep in touch with other team members in time.
4. 40
Regular video conferencing also improves relationships among different groups of people. Fur
employees in the same organization, different office locations would not be a barrier in developing
close relationships with teammates and bosses. Relationships with customers may also be
strengthened with video calls if face-to-face contact is not possible.
A. Create a friendly atmosphere.
B. Most meetings are held regularly.
C. Improve interpersonal relationships.

New research shows that people who walk more slowly at the age of 45 may be more likely to
age faster. Scientists said that slower walkers who are in their 61 (forty) could get older more
quickly than faster walkers. This ageing could be both physically and mentally. The scientists said
walking speed could help doctors understand more about the age-related health problems that people
have. Many years ago, doctors 62 (begin)to know that older people who walked slowly were
more likely to have health problems. They wanted to find out 63 this was the same for younger
people. Terrie Moffitt said, "Doctors know that slow walkers in their 70s and 80s tend 64 (die)
sooner than fast walkers of the same age."
A study 65 (CUM) out last month and the test data of 904 people was analyzed. The
people in the tests had medical records of physical 66 (examine) throughout their lives. For,
participants, these records went back 67 the time when they were three years old. The
researchers used data on the intelligence of the participants. The, looked at how 68 (accurate)
people could calculate things and how good 69 was for them to remember things. They also
did tests on the participants at different walking speeds. The scientists asked the participants to say
the alphabet while they walked at a normal speed and fast speed. The participants’ brains were
examined and the scientists found that people who walked more slowly showed less brain activity
while 70 (say) the alphabet.
