The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes 2electric goods, all 3 verygood prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops any more. The thing I like 4 about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the 5 of profit-driven companies, and you are not 6 the planet, but finding a new home for 7 goods. The first charity shop was 8 in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so 9 that it had been flooded with donations.

With the cost of a college education going through the roof, whatwould you tell your child to study so he can be sure of getting a good job when he graduates?If your child’s main goal is to get a job, I would suggest he rethink the whole idea of going to college. There is, it seems, a major cause of confusion in our society because people don’t understand the difference between education and training. Education is akin to research and development in that one never knows where, if anywhere, it will eventually lead. It’s certainly a nice luxury if one can afford it and if one has the capacity to grow intellectually but it’s no guarantee of a steady income. Training, on the other hand, addresses the skills and knowledge necessary to do a job. Traditionally, advanced education was reserved for just a tiny portion of the population while all others learned a trade and that was often through the apprentice system.Of course, there were those who worked their way through school and into monied slots but those were mostly schools where one can be trained for a profession such as colleges of law, medicine, business, engineering, etc.So what do you tell your child? If a job and the income it will provide are the most important, then keep in mind that four years of education will cost not only the tuition and living expenses but four years of lost earnings as well. Instead, he might want to consider earning a wage while learning a trade and then putting the same cash and credit into starting a business. Or he might want to consider attending a community college, a mixture that combines mostly remedial schooling with a form of apprenticeship. Stick to the readily applicable skills and technology classes, and there might actually be a job available upon graduation.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about education？It wasofferedfor a Most It is a(A)largenumberofpeoplein thepast.(B)It is similar toresearch anddevelopment.(C)Peoplecanaffordit.(D)guaranteeof asteadyincome.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about training?(A)It mustteachstudentsrichknowledge.(B)One has tostudy law,medicine,businessandengineering.(C)It willbe away ofmakinga lot ofmoney.(D)It provideskills andnecessaryknowledgeof jobs.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the cost of education?(A)Tuition.(B)Livingexpenses(C)Earningsof part-timejobs.(D)Fouryears oflostearnings.What can NOT be learnt from community college?(A)Knowledgefrom book.(B)Skillsforsomesimplejobs.(C)Advancedtechnology.(D)Languagetraining.What’s the author’s attitude towards higher education?(A)Neutral.(B)Approving.(C)Indifferent.(D)Disapproving.2. The school was across the street from my home and I would oftenwatch the kids as they played basketball after class. A sea of children, and yet to me, a girl stood out from them all. She was different from others as she seemed so small among those boys.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched inwonder as she ran circles around the other kids and managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. Every day she would practice over and over again, sometimes until dark.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said, “I like basketball, and I want to go to play in the best college basketball team.” She looked quite firm, “That’s my dream.”In the following years, I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week she led her school team to one victory after another. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting on the grass alone. I walked across the street and sat down beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” she answered, “My coaches think I am just too short at five feet five inches to dream about a top college team.” She looked a bit depressed. I felt sorry for her and asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head and told me that her father thought those coaches were wrong and did not understand the power of a dream. “If you truly wanted to realize your dream, nothing could stop you except one thing?your determination”, He encouraged her, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, a famous college coach found her. And she was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked towards for all those years. Her father is right: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.According to the author, the girl stood out from others because of the following reasons EXCEPT ___________(A)shewas hisstudent(B)shewassmall(C)shepracticedhard(D)sheplayedwellThe girl looked firm because ___________her a top college team was(A)her fatherencouragedher to playbasketball.(B)dreamwas tostudyin acollege.(C)herdreamandshewouldworkhardfor it.(D)height isnot aproblemfor her.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?(A)Thegirlwastheleaderof theschoolteam.(B)Thegirl'sfatheralwaysbelievedthepowerof adream.(C)Thecoacheswerenotgood tothe girl.(D)Thegirl’sfathermay beastrong-willedperson.What did the father mean when he said “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count”?(A)Weshouldalwaysdreamsomethingbig.(B)Determinationcan help usovercomedifficulties.(C)Anyonecandreamanything.(D)If youhave adream,you willsucceed.What helped the girl realize her dream?(A)Herdetermination.(B)Herdiligence.(C)Herfather’ssupport.(D)All theabove.3. Good Health starts from infancy. It is here that protection and careare needed, so that each organ functions well, each organ developsnaturally, and there are no deformities, disabilities and diseases. But often the health of children remains neglected, with the result that they grow unhealthily and that affects their education as well.A healthy child develops into a healthy adult. If the child does not grow properly, he may become handicapped in some way and his ill-health may spoil his adult life. He may not be able to join any active service; he may not be a successful professional, and he may not have a happy life .Health is real wealth. A healthy person is an asset to himself, to his family and to his community. Health is the pivot upon which a man’s whole personality and his well-being depend. An ailing and aching body saps the enthusiasm for pursuit.Health cannot be achieved merely by taking one or two pills everyday or by observing a few restrictions. It can be achieved only by understanding what health is, upon what it depends and then applying this knowledge in everyday life.The care of the body regarding food, cleanliness, exercise, rest and protection against disease, is essential for the preservation of sound health. Life is for living. Without health, life is deprived of not only much of its usefulness but also its joys and pleasures.The stream of life will be rich and lasting in proportion to the resources which nourish it. These resources belong to every person. They are food, exercise, proper posture, care of bodily functions, avoidance of alcohol and tobacco and wholesome mental and emotional attitudes.When should people start paying attention to their health?(A)Whentheyareadults.(B)Whentheyareinfants.(C)Whentheygrowup.(D)Whenthey areteenagers.If the child does not grow in healthy way, what problems will he meet?(A)He maynotsucceedin hiswork.(B)He willbeunhappyin hislife.(C)He willbeunhappyin hislife.(D)All oftheabove.According to the passage, what does health mean to a people?(A)Time.(B)Status.(C)Wealth.(D)Usefulness. Through which way can you achieve health?(A)By puttinghealthyknowledgeintopractice.(B)By takingsomemedicine.(C)By doingroutinephysicalexamination.(D)Byreadingsomebooksabouthealth.If you want to keep healthy, you need to do the following things EXCEPT______.(A)Payattentionto thefood andexercise(B)take pillseveryday(C)avoidunhealthyhabit likesmokinganddrinkingalcohol(D)Beawareofmentalhealth4. Even for people who’ve gone many years without exercising, thereare compelling reasons to get active, no matter what their ages.“The fitter and more active you become, the longer you’ll live and less heart disease you’ll have,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish, a cardiologist and fitness expert at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.He suggests that people first start exercising by moving whenever possible, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Next, he asks his patients to identify times during the day they can exercise and what resources they have at their disposal. For example, does their workplace or senior center have a fitness facility, or do they have access to a safe place to walk, no matter what the weather?People in the 60- to 80-year-old age group should spend eighty percent of their workout doing moderate aerobic activity. That can be anything from brisk walking, cycling, dancing, to a Zumba class. For the remaining twenty prevent of the time, it’s a good idea to focus onstrength training. This can be done at a gym but can also be done at home ? no weights needed. Try squats, push-ups, and arm reaches. Work toward a goal of exercising for one hour, five times a week.For those with no particular health concerns, a program of moderate walking and strength training is a safe way to go. Those who have heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or other muscle or bone problems should talk to a doctor before starting. Take it easy at first, and ramp up to a more intense level gradually. “Most of all, remember that something is better than nothing and there is no age when it’s too late to start,”says Dr. Baggish.When people start exercising, they need to consider their age.(A)T(B)FIf you do exercises more than others, you’ll live long and have less disease.(A)T(B)FWalking and taking the stairs are the two kinds of exercises.(A)T(B)FOld people need to spend much time on strength training.(A)T(B)FIf one is too old, it’s better for him not to do exercises.(A)T(B)F。
