More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable after-school opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevent
28、ion Resource Center (NYVPRC), nine out of ten Americans think all youths should have access to after-school programs, but two-thirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that situation may be getting worse.After-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes
29、 and risky behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. The NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in after-school activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence af
30、ter school, particularly between the hours of 2p.m. and 6p.m. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3p.m. and 4p.m. , when most children are dismissed from school.The NYVPRC defines after-school programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new s
31、kills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship(实习), community services , or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievements, as well as relieve the stresses on working families.
32、A report by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of justice shows that students in after school programs have fewer behavioral problems and more self-confidence , and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the
33、 Harvard Family Research Project, after-school programs help students from low-income families overcome the inequities (不公平) they face in the school system. 56. What is the theme of the passage?A.

38、t her job in February 2007. Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break，but she has a position as a consultantShe has described this type of career detour(绕路) - which is more common for women than for menas “off- ramping” Typically it occurs when the balancing act of p
39、arenting and work becomes too toughA study by the center found that more than 90 percent of women who off-ramp want to on-ramp back into the work force eventuallyBut making the transition back to work is rarely easy，and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes.Conside
40、ring some of the obstacles faced by on- rampers , a three-day program called “Greater Returns：Restarting Your Career” was held at Columbia University. The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence.According to one school of thought, women looking to make a comeb
41、ack might even have an advantage in the current economy，especially if they are looking for part-time or consultant positions that do not offer benefits. And a majority of on-rampers are women with extensive working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over less-experienced competition
42、“You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you off-ramped,” Ms Hoffman says, “ defensive” would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home“I now feel confident talking to an employer and saying， Yes，I have b

47、rgan transplant using new stem cell technology. Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century.But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed to serve specific purposes for example, a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot be
48、come a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young, and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cell. Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University of Bristol in the UK took a donor windpipe, or tra
49、chea, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove the donors cells, leaving a tissue scaffold(组织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillos windpipe, and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be transplante
50、d into Ms Castillo. Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejection. But by using Ms Castillos own cells, doctors were able to trick her body int
51、o thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health. This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other transplant operations in the future. Scientists also believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, heart dis
52、ease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and so on.However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos created in laboratories and which are just a few days old. Many people have religious or ethical objections to growing emb

56、ted organs even with their own cellsB. The donors cells had to be removed because they were unhealthyC. The transplanted organ was refilled with the stem cells onlyD.

57、ll technology?A. controversial B. confident C. conservative (保守的) D. criticalD.Many adults in the United States can remember crying the nursery rhyme in the street Hot cross buns! But only a few people realize this was an early form of advertising.Written advertisements probably began with hieroglyp
58、hics more than three thousand years ago, but only a few people could read these symbols. So merchants made signs with pictures or hung their tools over their doors to identify their businesses. In the time of the Roman Empire, wall paintings were a popular form of advertisement. An ad for a play, or
59、 some other performance was painted on part of a building or on a wall around a city. People often advertised a house for rent or a freshwater bath in this way, too. Today, large wall signs are still used for outdoor advertising. But outdoor advertising is only a small fraction of the total advertis
60、ing. About forty per -cent of all ads are printed in daily newspapers. Radio commercials also provide this kind of information. Some people think they are the best form of advertising because radio broadcasts reach almost everyone in a nation. Advertisements in magazines and on television reach many
61、 people, too. However, usually only large companies can advertise on a national network, because TV commercials shown across the country can cost many thousands of dollars. Then there are ads that are almost part of daily living. If you use public transportation, you will see large printed ads, call

She received the promotion as her boss promised and wasnt planning to continue a degree. But a request from her father, who was dying of cancer, made her thi
68、nk twice. He said to her, “Kathy, why dont you just keep going and get your degree?”Before he passed away, he made her promise that she would finish it. And he made her a promise in turn. Vitzthums parents had agreed to give each of their children a valuable gift when they graduated from college, an
69、d Vitzthum was obsessed with an antique shed come across and knew that she couldnt afford. After she promised to graduate from college, her parents bought her the antique.
