You probably know who Marie Curie was， but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Among the outstanding ladies listed below， who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years？

Jane Addams （1860—1935）

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931， Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson （1907—1964）

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson， the environmental movement might not exist today. Her 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness （意识） of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor （1930—present）

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School， in 1952， she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator （參议员） and in 1981， the first woman to join the US Supreme Court （最高法院）. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years’ career on the top court.

Rosa Parks （1913—2005）

On December 1， 1955， in Montgomery， Alabama， Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed herself in prison.

At 1，345 meters above sea level， Ben Nevis is not the world’s most difficult mountain to climb. But things get considerably tricky if， instead of hiking shoes， you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels， especially if you’re a guy. One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.

Ben Conway， a 19-year-old art student from London， recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton. He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 am， on June 27， and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen， a friend from his art foundation year， who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that was used as his application project. The whole climb took five hours and wasn’t the smoothest experience.

Halfway up Ben Nevis， one of his shoes broke， so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on. The weather didn’t make it easy for him either， as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time， and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds. Due to these difficult conditions， Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.

Besides providing a unique art school application project， the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes （事業）， like Sal’s Shoes， which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.

“Raising money for charity brings happiness to people’s lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness， then that’s what it’s all about.” Ben said.

5. What word can replace the underlined word “tricky” in

Paragraph 1？

A. Pleasant. B. Boring.

C. Difficult. D. Interesting.

6. Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

A. To prove nothing is impossible.

B. To record a special experience.

C. To assist in Ben’s application.

D. To develop their friendship.

7. What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

A. The difficulties in the climb.

B. The unexpected things.

C. The terrible weather.

D. The climbing way.

8. What can best describe Ben’s story？

A. Encouraging. B. Frightening.

C. Puzzling. D. Exciting.

As a first responder， you never know what type of situation you might walk into， or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg， a 51-year-old paramedic （医务辅助人员） since 1984.

Ten years into the job， Lanenberg received a call reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene， they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious， making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate （使……心脏除颤） and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital， he thought about the man and his family for a long time.

Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago， where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out， the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.

“You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have，” the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.

“That day changed my life，” Lanenberg said. “Before that， everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class， I tell them you never know the impact （影響） you can have on someone’s life.”

1. What did Lanenberg do with the young man？

A. He gave the man first aid.

B. He cured the man at the scene.

C. He just sent the man to hospital.

D. He helped the man lie on the ground.

2. Lanenberg thought the encounter with the man was_______.

A. a matter of course B. unbelievable

C. a dangerous D. expectable

3. Why was the man grateful to Lanenberg？

A. Lanenberg helped bring up his little son.

B. Lanenberg continued to support his family.

C. Lanenberg gave him the present happy life.

D. Lanenberg taught his son to be a new doctor.

4. After he met the man， Lanenberg_______.

A. changed his attitude to his job

B. was praised with much money

C. got a position to be a team leader

D. took up teaching work to train newcomers

Why do We Use Zip Codes？

Everyone has memorized exactly two ZIP codes： 90210 and whatever their own ZIP code is. We can thank a certain TV show set in Beverly Hills for that.

Aside from that， general knowledge of these five-digit figures is pretty limited.We put them at the end of addresses， and then our mail magically gets delivered （递送） to the right location.We discovered one of the most highly kept secrets all mail carriers know： what ZIP codes really are and how they work.

The whole practice of using ZIP codes is a relatively new system that was put in place on July 1，1963. Before that， starting in 1943， the US Postal Service used a series of postal zones （区域） for large cities only.

In 1944， a postal worker named Robert Moon handed on an idea for a new postal zone system that would cover the whole country. The first number would stand for a group of states， starting at zero on the east coast and ending at nine on the west coast， and the second and third numbers would specify  to which sectional center facility （the place where mail gets processed and distributed） the mail should go in that area.The US Postal Service eventually adopted this plan， and the Zone Improvement Plan Code—or ZIP code—was born.

About 20 years after the first ZIP codes were put in place， the Postal Service made one more adjustment： the four digits that come after your ZIP code. These stand for a specific area that any given post office covers. The sixth and seventh numbers refer to a delivery sector， which could be a group of streets， one large building， or another small geographic area. The last two stand for a delivery segment（片区）.

Even though the US Postal Service says the proper contribution to the ZIP code’s creation goes to a committee of people， our addresses would look quite different if it weren’t for Moon’s mathmatical inspiration.

5.Why does the writer say many people are familiar with the ZIP code 90210？

A. It’s related with Beverly Hills.

B. It’s a ZIP code of five-digit figures.

C. It’s easy to understand and memorize.

D. It’s because of a famous TV program.

6. What can we know about postal zones used in 1943？

A. It was popular with big cities.

B. It was used for a very long time.

C. It wasn’t very convenient to use.

D. It was the entire practice of ZIP codes.

7.What does the third number in a ZIP code stand for according to Moon’s system？

A. The state. B. The proper post office.

C. Where the letter is to. D. Where the letter is from.

8. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5？

A. What the four numbers at the end of a ZIP code mean.

B. What ZIP codes really are and the uses they bring.

C. The big change of US Postal Service.

D. The complexity of the US ZIP codes.

In today’s information age， it’s nearly impossible to avoid using social media. According to USA Today， even American universities are increasingly using social media as a learning tool. Their goal is to teach students how to use social media professionally.

Jade Johnson is taking an upper level advertising course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. For the class， he has had to organize and promote （推动） a contest via Facebook， Twitter and Instagram， channels that are commonly used by advertising firms.

“A lot of times students prefer not to use certain social media， but are forced to because of the class，” says Jade.

Some students may be reluctant （不情愿） to create an account， but Jade says that it is helpful because social media skills mean better job opportunities in today’s world.

More college classes are appearing that are designed specially to teach students about social media， offering them a different look into something they may use on a daily basis.

Jenna Kapsis， a senior at William Paterson University， was required to post two Tweets on Twitter and one update on Facebook per week in her Digital and Social Media Communication class. The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.

“Some of the topics included social media manners， online marketing and current events，” Kapsis says.

As technology continues to develop， colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it with their teaching. Whether it’s to create discussion groups， carry out plans， or communicate with students， professors are ensuring that students can see the potential （潛力） of mastering social media platforms.

1. What can we infer about social media skills from the text？

A. Most students are reluctant to use them.

B. They are difficult for students to master.

C. They have been expanded to some courses.

D. It is a heavy burden for students to learn them.

2. What is the advantage of social media skills according to Jade？

A. Improving students’ learning quality.

B. Offering students a different look into things.

C. Contributing to the possibility of getting good jobs.

D. Bettering the communication between teachers and students.

a. Communicating with students.

b. Creating discussion groups.

c. Doing some experiments.

d. Carrying out plans.

I began to look for work after I finished the school last year. Now several month later， I still didn’t find the job I was interested. Last Sunday morning I received a call from a man calling him Mr Smith. He said to me on the phone， “I hear you did very well in your studies， but I may have a job for you.” When I entered his office， I felt very nervous with my heart beat fast.

Seven Meaningful Happy Jobs

七大有意义的幸福工作

“A meaningful life must， in some sense then， feel worthwhile. The person living the life must be engaged by it. A life of commitment to causes that are generally defined as worthy—like feeding and clothing the poor or tending the ill—but that do not move the person participating in them will lack meaningfulness in this sense. However， for a life to be meaningful， it must also be worthwhile. Engagement in a life of tiddlywinks does not rise to the level of a meaningful life， no matter how gripped one might be by the game.” This is what underlies the difference between the happiest jobs and the most hated jobs.

“富有意义的生活在一定意义上必须让人感到值得。过这种生活的人必须全身心投入其中。如果一个人的生活奉献给了普遍被认为有价值的事业，比方说给贫苦人提供衣食或照顾病患，但如果这并没有使这个人心甘情愿参与其中，那么在这一意义上讲，生活就失去了意义。然而，富有意义的人生也必须是值得拥有的。充斥着挑圆片游戏的人生并没有上升到有意义的人生高度，不管一个人对这个游戏可能是多么的着迷。”这就是最幸福的工作与最令人厌恶的工作的根本区别。
