Michelle Pawlaw is glad that she signed up for it. “Getting to experience fire-fighting is really cool and something that most people dont get to do,” says Michelle. Michelle and eight other teenage girls
17、 took part in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside of Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley was in charge of the program. “The purpose of the camp is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a job,” she says.The free-of
18、-charge, overnight camp was designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the city. They took classes and learned how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person. They also did their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipmen
19、t.Firefighting is still a male-dominated (男性主导的) service, but Burley says with 32 women in its force of 320, the Arlington Fire Department is above the national average of 4.5 percent. Clare Burley joined the department seven years ago. “Women are generally weaker than men physically, but we do ever
20、ything that the guys do to the same standard (标准). We are tested to the same standard. We are expected to operate to the same standard,” she says. Most of the girls say they never thought about becoming a firefighter, but the camp was a great learning experience. By spending three days together, the
21、y also made new friends and had a lot of fun.36. What do we know about the firefighting camp?A. Some boys were also involved in it.B. It was one of those common summer camps.C. It was provided for teenage girls without any fees.D. Its aim was to choose some new firefighters from the girls.37. What c
22、an we infer from the text?A. Women firefighters work fewer hours than men firefighters. B. It is not dangerous for women firefighters to carry out their duty.C. It requires women firefighters to train harder than men firefighters. D. The standards set for women and men firefighters are not the same.
23、 38. The percentage of women firefighters in the Arlington Fire Department is .A. 4.5% B. 10% C. 15% D. 20%BTrees also suffer from stress, just as people do. Sounds unbelievable, isnt it? So, how do you know if your tree is stressed? Trees actually speak quite loudly when they are stressed; you just
24、 need to learn how to listen. If your tree is wilting (枯萎), it probably needs water or you might be watering it too much. Unfortunately, under- or over-watering shows the same signs. However, a little research work will have the problem solved in no time. Giving your tree proper water is a good idea
25、. If you have a drip irrigation system (滴灌系统), make sure it is working properly. If your tree is not quite right, with spots on the leaves or other unusual discolorations, look over your tree carefully. These are signs of insects, disease or nutrient problems. Look on the undersides of the leaves, a
26、s these are where they like to hide in. You should have the right species for your climate and soils. Nutrient problems will appear if your soil is not right for the tree. If the climate is not suitable, a tree is stressed from too much or too little water and it sends out signals to insects, which
27、take advantage of its weaknesses. Insects weaken the tree even more, and then diseases take hold. Trees will show signs of stress, such as dropping bark (树皮) or leaves when their roots are disturbed. At this time, do not decide the tree needs fertilizer. Feeding a sick tree with too much fertilizer
28、will just make it sicker. Sometimes you love your plants to death. Too much fertilizer may make your tree grow faster, but fast growth upsets a trees tender balance. The faster a tree grows, the less energy it has for defense against insects and disease. 39. The underlined word “discolorations” in P
29、aragraph 2 probably means .A. signs of good healthB. strange appearancesC. the change or loss of colorD. the bad smells that plants give out40.

30、ubles never come alone. D. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.41. Dropping bark or leaves probably shows that . A. the tree is seriously lacking in water B. the root of the tree is negatively affected C. the tree has been badly attacked by insects D. the tree is in great need of various nu
31、trients42. What may happen if you give a tree too much fertilizer? A. It will soon be killed by the fertilizer. B. It will lose its ability to fight against insects. C. It will lose its ability to keep standing in the wind. D. Its growth and development will completely stop. CNew York teenager Timot

33、in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah ceremony. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to become fluent in modern Hebrew. Longing for more, he then picked up Arabic.

45、ly, “I dont want to play with her anymore.”She sat quietly for a moment, watching as Diane put stamps on envelopes. After a while, Chrissy said, “Mom, can I go to play out in the backyard?” Diane gave her daughter a hug. Chrissy left, seeming to forget her anger.By simply reflecting back her daughte
46、rs underlying feelings, Diane allowed Chrissy the opportunity to explore what was going on for her, and in the process, Chrissy discovered a solution to her own problem. Some other time, Diane might be able to talk with Chrissy about avoiding future problemsand perhaps tell her what she could do to
47、express her anger instead of slamming the door.Like most adults, sometimes what children really need is for someone to listen and understand.
