APatricia was worried. She had a job interview, and she wanted to look good. She decided to get some new clothes. The store owner, Pallas Hansen, helped Patricia find a suit. But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!How could Patricia do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet in San Jose, California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede started this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don’t find jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children. They can’t buy clothes for themselves.Pallas and Charlotte started the store in 1992 after the y heard about a store like this in Chicago .Volunteers work in the store. Working women donate most of the clothes to the store. This makes it possible for the customers at Career Closet to get clothes for free.Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store. They also get confidence. Patricia is 36 yeas old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Patricia needed a job to support her seven children. She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse. “The whole day made me feel special,” she said. Patricia was a success at her interview, and she got the job. One reason why she got it was that she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace.Pallas says,” I love this job. Sixty percent of the women get jobs. It’s like being a fairy god-mother.”1.

The best title for the passage might be _____.A. Job InterviewB. FashionC. Dress for SuccessD. Getting Clothes Free of ChargeB.Talking TaxisMany people think New York is a noisy city. In fact, scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation, which is 65 decibels. The noise level comes from having so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known opera singer, sports announcer, or Broadway actress giving instructions. That’s right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message: “Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, so buckle your seat belt!” Other voices say things such as “Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.” (People often leave hats, umbrellas, and briefcases in taxis.) There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12000 cabs in New York, and every year taxis get into more than 15000 accidents. In an accident, people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition(分隔物) in the taxi. They can bruise （使青肿） their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year, about 11000 people are injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy, ” says Amir, a 45-year-old cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined $100.” A lot of passengers complain, too. “It is too much noise,” says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the message, but he said he can’t.”Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says, “P eople like to hear the famous voices, and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time, taxi drivers are in a bad mood,” says Melanie Benton, who visits New York often on business. “It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”5.

One bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos has 310 milligrams. Pizza is one of the biggest problems for teens when it comes to sodium, according to the data from the National Center for Health Statistics.“The additional benefit of lower salt intake early is that we can hopefully change the expectations of how food should taste, ideally to something slightly less salty,”says Dr. Kirsten Bobbins-Domingo, the lead author of the study and associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.“Most of the salt we eat is not from our salt shaker(盐瓶)，but salt that is already added in food that we eat,” she added.12.Which is a benefit of a low sodium diet according to the text?A.No risk of heart disease.B. Smaller chance of stroke.C.Low blood pressure.D. Slightly more heart attacks.13.According to the text, 3,000 mg less salt intake daily will reduce hypertensionby ___ adulthood.A.7%--12%B. 8%--14%C. 30%--43%D. 5%--8%14.What does Dr. Kirsten Bobbins-Domingo mean in the last two paragraphs?A.
