三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

A

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.

We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house — something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.

On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the familys three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?”Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, “I just want a bed.”

The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.

When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.

That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.

As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?”

“A pillow,” she replied.

“What do you do with it?” Eric continued to ask.

“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.

”Oh... thats soft,“ he said, hugging it tightly.

Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, “Do you have a pillow?”

We know exactly what he means.

Attitude is one of the most important factors in determining success for all people. Successful people have one thing in common — an expectant(期待的) attitude of success. Most people begin each morning in neutral and react to events of the day. You can be one of the successful people in life by starting each day with a positive attitude, a gratitude for the opportunities you have, and an expectancy(期待) of the best for yourself.

People tend to live up to expectations. We get out of life just about what we put into it. Our environment becomes a mirror of our spirit, our attitude, and expectations. If we set a great goal, we get great results. If we have a fair goal, we accomplish fair results, and if we have a poor goal, we accomplish poor results. The world will give you back what you expect, so expect the very best. Dont be defensive or doubtful. Nothing changes unless you do. Before you can do something, youve got to be something. Know that you have worth and value. Show that to the world.

Treat everyone you come in contact with as the most important person in life. It will build self-esteem(自尊心). Smile! Youll be rewarded with a returned smile. Dont react to others rudely. Forgive everyone who ever hurt you. Then, forgive yourself. Keep yourself healthy. Exercise. Eat a proper diet. Display an attitude of confidence.

Develop these good habits and your expectancy will be rewarded by successes. This attitude will put you into that group of people who are truly successful, because you will know and understand how an expectant attitude enhances(提高) every aspect of your life.

Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, but attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge. But Dario Schworer, a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that.

The Swiss couple want to travel across the worlds oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life.

“We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas,” Schworer said. “We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future.”

Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through as the worlds climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature.

In the 47 countries they have visited so far they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the suns rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation. They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children.

So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power.

“We need to motivate children,” said Sabine.

When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own. But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Noe was born in Australia.

Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, seven years later, they believe it could take seven more.

“Since our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good,” Schworer said.

A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students riducule(笑柄).

“Usually its because the class sees their own weakness glaringly magnified(放大) in that student. They dont want to admit they have the same weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior of both the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity.”

As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I have many of the same faults. How I easily I rule a conversation and leave others out. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns or work easily seems most important.

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment — your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.

In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but were likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into Americas consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.

Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal — a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S.,a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction(交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业)that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is “to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones ”.

The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, whats to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “Were still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”

Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled.Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isnt.

47. What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?

A. The expansion of cellphone companies.

B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.

C. The disappearance of credit cards.

D. The increase of Starbucks sales.

48. The NFC technology can be used to .

A. ensure the safety of shoppers

B. collect transaction fees easily

C. make purchase faster and simpler

D. improve the quality of cellphones

49. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to .

A. strengthen their relationship

B. get a share in the payments industry

C. sell more cellphones

D. test the NFC technology

50. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?

A. Stop the functioning of their phones.

B. Set up a password.

C. Get all the money out of their phones.

D. Cancel large purchases.
