36、rn gathered up his old sneakers, and then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods sto
37、re and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center.

43、 The shoes from S.O.S make a big difference to the two brothers.CTwo Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees.Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going card-free is another way of going green. They also
44、 argue that in a world of e-mail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, people are in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends. If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are free e-cards, which get the job done with no postage or wasted pap
45、er.However, especially for people who didnt grow up with e-mail, there is something missing from a Christmas e-mail. The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843 and were designed by the same man who had introduced the worlds first postage stamp three years earlier. His name was Sir Henry Co
46、le.They rose in popularity throughout the 20th century. Many people sent cards that were sold for charity. The most famous of these are the ones sold for UNICEF. In the UK this year, in the three weeks before Christmas, the post office expects to handle 100 million cards every day. Environmental awa
47、reness also means that nowadays many people recycle their cards; this helps raise money to plant more trees, as well as recreating more paper.When we think of trees at Christmas, there is one that immediately springs(跃入)mind-the evergreen tree that people decorate with ornaments and place their pres
48、ents under. The custom dates back almost a thousand years to Germany. Nowadays 33 to 36 million Christmas trees are produced in America and 50 to 60 million in Europe each year. Some trees are sold live with roots and soil so people can plant them later and reuse them next year.Some people prefer ar
49、tificial trees as they are reusable and much cheaper than their natural alternative. However, environmentalists point out that they are made from petroleum (石油) products and so have many pollution issues.66. What is the main idea of the article?A. To introduce the history of two typical Christmas tr
50、aditions.B. To explain the debate about some Christmas traditions.C. To analyze how two Christmas traditions grew in popularity.D. To point out the problems caused by celebrating Christmas.67. What does the underlined word “They” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A. Many people B. Christmas e-ma
51、ils C. Postage stamps D. Christmas cards 68. Some people suggest getting rid of paper cards because .a. they cannot be recycled b. they are not environmentally friendlyc. they are mostly sold for charity d. the e-cards have many advantages over theme. they are not as necessary as they used to be for
52、 peopleA. a, b, d B. a, c, d C. b, d, e D. b, c, e69. What can we conclude from the article?A. The first Christmas cards were designed earlier than the worlds first stamps.B. This year has seen a dramatic drop in Christmas card sales. C. Environmentalists advise people to buy cards that are sold for
53、 charity.D. Growing environmental awareness is encouraging people to recycle their cards.70. Which of the following statements in TRUE according to the article?A. There is always a wider Christmas tree market in America than in Europe.B. The custom of decorating Christmas trees first appeared in Bri

Artificial trees are better than natural ones in all aspects.DEnglish teenagers are to receive compulsory (必修的) cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the countrys increasing obesity (肥
55、胖 )rate. Its feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods.Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England-even if it was mainly aimed at girls. In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor
56、activity in schools. In many cases the schools themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.“What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, si
57、mple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry-which they can use now at home and then in their later life”, said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools.The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt.
58、 There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking. Also the compulsory lessons for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believe
59、s it will be worth it.“If wed done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis weve got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that theyll be healthy, but because its a life skill which is a real pleasure”.The renewed int
60、erest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not stopped.71. The passage mainly talks about .A. the reason for obesity B. the l
61、ost cooking skillsC. the healthy eating D. the compulsory cooking classes72. Which of the following is NOT the purpose for English teenagers to receive cooking lessons?A. To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.B. To reduce the countrys increasing obesity rate.C. To stop parents from turning to p
62、re-prepared convenience foods.D. To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.73. In what way will cooking lessons benefit the students?A. They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.B. They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tom
63、ato sauce.C. They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.D. They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.74. The well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, thinks it to offer compulsory cooking lessons in schools.A. difficult B. necessary C. funny D.
64、 timely75. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. cooking has always been an important part of school education in EnglandB. the obesity rate in Britain has been rapidly growing in recent decades C. English teenagers will have their cooking lessons twice a week for one yearD. the students will

I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people shoul
67、d realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.3 At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lot , you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning
68、for your future.4 After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. You can hold on to a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen. The earlier , the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you wi
69、ll always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.5Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need mone

It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do. In addition, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.76. What might be the purp
