【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解,選擇正確答案。 Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. "He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒絕) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
"Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today."
"I learned that the population of Nepal is ...."
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well……" he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is." And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
(1)What do we know from the first paragraph?
A.The author's father was born in a worker's family.
B.Those born stupid could not change their life.
C.The town elders wanted to learn about the world.
D.The poor could hardly afford school education.

Evaluating Sources (來源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior "contributes to" or is "associated with" an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate "scientific" statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖騙術(shù)).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

【題目】閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出可以填人空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Here's a surprising fact: Of the 1.1 million firefighters in the United States, about 780,000 are volunteers. Roughly a third of the population is 1 by mostly- or all-volunteer fire departments.
Also 2, perhaps. Sometimes they have to pay for their own gear.
I 3 this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango, Colorado. I responded to more than 50 calls in 2014, everything from 4 to car accidents. In that period, I spent close to $1,000 on optional gear not supplied by my 5, things like higher-quality flashlights, knives, and better gloves, which make my 6 easier.
Yesterday, a 7 was introduced in Congress that would give a significant tax break to those who volunteer their time as 8 responders. I hope it passes, not because it will put some money in my pocket 9, hey, (that'll be nice) but because it will ease the financial burden on volunteers and acknowledge their time commitment. I believe it will 10 more people to help.
And we 11 that.
In 12 areas where population density is low and calls for fire and EMS services are relatively rare, it just doesn't 13 to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7 (全天候). 14, volunteers are used to fill in the 15. We are ready to put our regular lives aside to help someone on what is the 16 day of their life. We have likely never met before, and might never again, but it doesn't 17 in a crisis. Without volunteers, the whole system would collapse.
There's a T-shirt that's popular among us, reading “For Pride, Not 18.” We volunteer because we know our 19 need us. We don't need a small tax break. Without one, we'll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without any 20. But we'd appreciate one, and if it encourages more people to join us, it's worth it.
(1)A.taught B.inspired C.supported D.protected
(2)A.surprising B.amusing C.pleasing D.worrying
(3)A.appreciate B.know C.prove D.analyze
(4)A.wildfires B.wars C.lightning D.embarrassments
(5)A.company B.department C.team D.family
(6)A.manner B.life C.project D.job
(7)A.guest B.politician C.bill D.word
(8)A.wise B.proud C.same D.first
