The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having funkids just being kids! ”From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “ I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child,” explains Amy.When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, “ If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, its worth the time spent sewing,” she says.21.What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital? A. Her daughters serious illness. B. The cries of children in pain. C. The tiredness from sewing the cape. D. The illness of children in her daughters room.22.What purpose did Amy have when she began making Comfort Capes for sick children? A. To make them feel warm. B. To find friends for her daughter. C. To make them happy and fearless.D. To raise the awareness of childrens illness.23.According to the passage, we can get that the authors attitude toward Amys behaviour is _.A. indifferent B. neutral C. negative D. supportive 24. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes B. How to Treat the Sick ChildrenC. A strong Mom Who Helps Others D. Amy: a Considerate Woman BMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.25.When it comes to going to college the author thinks _.A. financial situation is the first to considerB. students are unwilling to leave their homeC. students will become homesickD. students are eager to attend their ideal university26.What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Students can be independent at college. B. A long distance will make students upset. C. The location of the college is a main factor. D. The climate must be taken into consideration.27.What does the underlined part “ people person” in the passage mean? A. A person of great capacity. B. A very particular person. C. A very sociable person. D. A person of great importance.28.Which is the most important factor when choosing a college? A. The location of a college. B. The examination result. C. School size. D. The coming challenges.CEvening WorkshopsOptional evening workshops will be held at small restaurants or other meeting places near the conference hotel.

Society for Economic Botany.DAccording to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall. The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members. Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents. In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. “Whereas the amount of elderly parent care daughters provide is associated with limitations they face, such as employment or childcare, sons caregiving is associated only with the presence or absence of other helpers, such as sisters or a parents spouse(配偶),” she explained. “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” “This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full- time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.32.Whats the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? A. Gender. B. Education. C. Career. D. Family networks.33.The US study finds that _. A. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age B. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents D. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to female family members34.What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly. B. Many care providers work longer hours than others. C. People shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others. D. Many care providers have potential health problems.35.The author develops the text by _. A. explaining social networks of careers B. describing peoples experiences C. analyzing various resear
