14、Christopher Columbus Museum.BThe meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless
15、 children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the ide
16、a that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is
17、her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So
18、with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that
19、 I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”24. According to the text, a volunteer refers to
20、a person who _.A. has made a big fortune in lifeB. can afford to travel to different placesC. has a strong wish to be successfulD. is willing to help those in need without pay25. Tracy started her work as a volunteer _.A. after she met Mother TeresaB. after she finished high schoolC. when she was to

Improving oneself through helping others.C American cities are similar to other cities around the world: In every country, cities reflect the values of the cul
23、ture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War , the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts(转移) to and from the city reflect th
24、e changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents(居民) became richer. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).Now things are changing. The chil
25、dren of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals(专业人士，专门人才) are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to
26、 the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. A large number of poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or m
27、ake apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residen
28、ts now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.28. What does the author think of cities all over the world?A. They are alive.B. They are hopeless.C. They are similar.D. They are different.29.Why did American city resident
29、s want to live in the suburbs after World War ?A. Because older American cities were dying.B. Because they were richer and needed more space.C. Because cities had the worst parts of society.D. Because they could hardly afford a life in the city.30. According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor p
30、eople in American cities .A. are faced with housing problemsB. are forced to move to the suburbsC. want to sell their buildingsD. need more money for daily expenses31. We can conclude from the text that .A. American cities are changing for the worseB. people have different views on American citiesC.
31、 many people are now moving from American citiesD. the population is decreasing in older American citiesDLet us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Lets make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Journey to the moon are being made every da
32、y. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots(景点) on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,
33、every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They havent yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current(电流) or as nuclear power. They may some d
34、ay. But many foods now are in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated(灌溉) with
35、 water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the num
36、ber of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and they are healthier both in their bodies and in their minds, and they know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases.
