4.Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice,about how one day,she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.But there was nothing wrong,he only wanted some companionship.He didn't want to be alone,so she sat with him.Goldsmith thought to himself,"There's no reason I can't do that."
Not only did he do it,but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month,Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith,18,for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a   500 annual scholarship for him,which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.
"That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick,"Susie Flood said."He hasn't just given of his own time and energy,but he's encouraged others to do the same."Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House.He chose it because his mother's friend,whose story had forced him to volunteer,works there.
"They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers,"Goldsmith said."The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer."Students must earn a certain number of service,or community-service,hours to graduate from Dowling.
When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college,he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program."I want us,as Dowling students,to keep making a difference,"he said.'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people,but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside."

9.Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers.February 7marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday.Yet for many,his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable.Then why do so many people know and read Dickens today?
One reason is the British government's insistence that every child study a Dickens novel at school.Alongside William Shakespeare,Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.
His stories,though often long by today's standards,are great moral tales.They are filled with colorful characters.
Earlier this month,a ceremony was held in Portsmouth,where Dickens was born.Prince Charles said at the ceremony:"…(Dickens) used his creative talents to campaign passionately for social justice…His characterization is as fresh today as on the day it was written."
His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight (洞察力) into human nature.Dickens,like Shakespeare,tells us truths about human behaviour.They are as true in the 2Is1century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.
Readers have returned to Dickens'books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.
No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years.Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart.The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels,Little Dorrit,into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time.A dark story about greed and money,it was the perfect illustration of bad times.
As long as Dickens'novels have something to say to modern audiences,it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain's best-loved writers.

56.In the article,the author intends to tell usA.
A.why Dickens'novels still appeal to readers in modern times
B.that Dickens'works are no longer popular among young people
C.why the British government puts Dickens on school reading lists
D.that Dickens and Shakespeare's works are required for study at school
57.In Britain,people still read Dickens because ofB.
a)romance in his books
b)moral value in his books
c)his colorful characters
d)his insight into human nature
e)government education requirement
f)his description of the current economic crisis
A.a(chǎn)bdf      B.bcde      C.bdef     D.a(chǎn)bed
58.We can infer from the article thatB.
A.it's better to read Dickens in time of difficulty
B.Dickens was a great social observer of his time
C.human nature seems worse during bad times
D.Dickens predicted economic crisis would happen
59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Dickens'novels are still of realistic significance to today's world.A
B.Dickens'novels are of greater value during economic crisis.
C.Dickens'works have gained more popularity than Shakespeare's.
D.Some of Dickens'less well-known novels have been discovered recently.
