The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must sixty hours of service learning, they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think their own interests and become of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. , students can explore possible careers service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.
there are many benefits, opponents （反對者） problems with the new requirement. First, they that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the to help must come from the heart. I think the best is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

As graduation draws near, those who haven’t landed a job yet may be desperate to find one. Perhaps some of the job offers they have received are below their skill and experience levels. Is it better to take these offers, or reject them and remain unemployed?
Recently, David Pedulla, a University of Texas sociologist, conducted a study about how taking a job below your skill level could affect your future employment.
In the study, Pedulla developed resumes for imaginary job applicants. The job seekers he created had a few things in common. They had a college degree, worked nearly two years at their first job, and about 4.5 years at their second job. What differed was their third job in the most recent year. They either had a full-time job that matched their skills, a part-time job below their skill levels, or were unemployed.
Then Pedulla submitted 2,420 resumes based on his imaginary job seekers, along with cover letters, to online ads for 1,210 real jobs. Each applicant had a real phone number that employers could contact if they were interested in talking with the applicant further.
The callback rates varied widely based on how the imaginary job seekers had spent their last year. The applicants who had full-time jobs the previous year were called back 10.4 percent of the time. Those whose most recent year of employment was in a job below their skill levels were only called back about 5 percent. Male applicants unemployed for a year were called back 4.2 percent of the time, while the figure is 7.5 percent for unemployed females.
However, Pedulla cautioned that the experiment only measured the initial interest of employers in his fictional job candidates, not whether the employers would hire them or what they would be paid based on their most recent job experiences.
1.The purpose of the first paragraph is ________ .
A. to lead in the topic
B. to present an argument
C. to shock the reader
D. to describe the present situation in job seeking
2.Which statement is NOT true about Pedulla’s experiment?
A. The applicants had some things in common at their first two jobs.
B. The applicants’ resumes and phone numbers are created by Pedulla.
C. The applicants’ most recent job experiences affected the callback rates.
D. Unemployed female applicants got a higher callback rate than males.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The applicants with a high callback rate would surely be hired.
B. The applicants’ most recent job experiences would decide their salaries.
C. There are some limits about what lessons can be taken from the study.
D. It is better to take a job offer below one’s skill level than to reject it.
4.In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?
A. Career B. Science
C. Culture D. Education

One day，Mr.Arnold was teaching a lesson，and things were going as normally as ever.He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils.He told them that，in the beginning，men were nomads(游牧人)；they never stayed in the same place for very long.Instead，they would travel about，here and there，in search of food，wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out，they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals.This was an important discovery，because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land，and care for animals，mankind would always have food steadily available.It also meant that people could remain living in one place，and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete，like building towns，cities，and all that were in them.All the children listening were attracted by this story，until Lucy jumped up：
“And if that was so important and improved everything so much，why are we nomads all over again，Mr.Arnold？”
Mr.Arnold didn't know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl.He knew that she lived with her parents in a house，so she must know that her family were not nomads；so what did she mean?
“We have all become nomads again，” continued Lucy.“The other day，outside the city，they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish.It's the same with everyone：when there's no more forest left, the foresters go elsewhere，and when the fish run out, the fishermen move on.That's what the nomads did，isn't it？”
The teacher nodded,thoughtfully. Really,Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs，we kept developing it until the land was bare.And then off we would go to the next place！ The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T?shirt，with a message that said，“I am not a nomad！”
And，from then on，they set about showing that indeed they were not.Every time they knew they needed something，they made sure that they would get it using care and control.If they needed wood or paper，they would make sure that they got the recycled kind.They ordered their fish from fish farms，making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small.They only used animals that were well cared for，and brought up on farms.
And so，from their little town，those children managed to give up being nomads again，just as prehistoric men had done so many thousands of years ago.
1.Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?
A．To experience different lifestyles.
B．To go sightseeing in different places.
C．To find what they could to feed themselves.
D．To do more exercise to build themselves up.
2.In the teacher's opinion，Lucy's argument was________.
A．reasonable B．ridiculous
C．puzzling D．shocking
3.Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad”(Paragraph 7)?
A．People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
B．People use recycled materials as much as possible.
C．Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
D．Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
4.The writer tries to make us believe that________.
A．mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about
B．it's unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way
C．it's quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind
D．teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions
