19．More than half of young black men in the United States do not finish high school．Many grow up without fathers and in neighborhoods with gangs，drugs and violence．Sixty percent of those who drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thirty-five．
Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco，California，twenty-three years ago．Mr．Marshall tries to give boys-and girls-a safe refuge and a chance at a better future．Every week，he has two basic messages for his young students："Stop the violence"and"Don't do drugs．"
Mr．Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college．
He got a lot of horror stories-a lot of his former students ended up dead or in prison for selling drugs，being involved in gangs，and girls ended up getting pregnant（懷孕）．
The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year．Two times a week，it offers after-school classes in math，reading，family and life skills，and college preparation．
Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem．"That's what these young people get．They develop a street mentality-anger，fear and pain．Then we tell them to follow some new rules for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying alive and free．"
But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio．In 1991，Joe Marshall started"Street Soldiers，"a weekly call-in show．Marlena，one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Club，is at Southern University right now，going into her third year．She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega，by listening to"Street Soldiers，"and she said she had learned how to love herself．
The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help students stay in school．Over ninety percent of members who were accepted into college have graduated．

17．A person has a comparative advantage at producing something if he can produce it at lower cost than anyone else．
Having a comparative advantage is not the same as being the best at something．In fact，someone can be completely unskilled at doing something，yet still have a comparative advantage at doing it!How can that happen？
Let's get some more vocabulary．Someone who is the best at doing something is said to have an absolute advantage．Lance Armstrong （自行車環(huán)法七冠王） has an absolute advantage at cycling．For all I know，Lance Armstrong may also be the fastest typist in the world，giving him an absolute advantage at typing，too．Since he's better at typing than you，can't he type more cheaply than you？That is，if someone has an absolute advantage in something，doesn't he automatically have a comparative advantage in it？The answer is no!If Lance takes time out from cycling to do all his own typing，he sacrifices the large income he earns from entertaining fans of the Tour de France （環(huán)法自由車賽）．If，instead，his secretary does the typing，the secretary gives up an alternative secretarial job-or perhaps a much lower salary as a cyclist．That is，the secretary is the lower-cost typist．The secretary，not Lance Armstrong，has the comparative advantage at typing!The trick to understanding comparative advantage is in the phrase"lower cost．"What it costs someone to produce something is the opportunity cost-the value of what is given up．Someone may have an absolute advantage at producing every single thing，but he has a comparative advantage at many fewer things，and probably only one or two things．
57．The underlined part in the second paragraph means a comparative advantageB．
    A．is equal to an absolute advantage
    B．doesn't necessarily mean the best skill at something
    C．is not completely based on an absolute advantage
    D．can fully reflect one's ability for work
58．The theory of comparative advantage can remind us of the old saying thatA．
    A．there must be a use for one's talent
    B．where there is a will，there is a way
    C．all roads lead to Rome
    D．action speaks louder than words
59．If Lance Armstrong types today for 60 dollars，but he gives it up and attends the Tour de France for 100 dollars，his opportunity cost isBdollars．
    A．40．B．60．C．100．D．160．
60．According to the author，when we cooperate with somebody，we shouldC．
    A．compare the absolute advantage
    B．consider the time of cooperation
    C．find the comparative advantage first
    D．neglect the opportunity cost．

16．We arrived on Christmas morning，at Bridgetown Harbor in Barbados．Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own．But my wife，Kate，said all she wanted to do was go for a quick swim and do a bit of walking near the harbor．Despite my misgivingswe were one of the first couples off the gangplank（跳板）．
"Let's grab a local taxi and take it to a beach，"said Kate．"What if we miss returning to the Olympia Voyager before she sails？"I asked．
"You worry too much．"
A twenty-year rusty car stopped，and a smiling man who claimed to be a taxi driver reported he was ready to take us swimming．
"How much？"I asked．
"Five dollars，"he said．
His name was Vincent Clarke，who did not appear to have any guns or knives．
"Sounds fine，"said Kate．She started to get in the taxi．
"Just hold on，"I said．"I want to ask Vincent a question or two．"
"Ask me anything，"he said．"I have no secrets．"
"We have been told that you may take us into the hills and rob us and kill us．"
"No，I will not harm you．It is a serious crime to kill a tourist．I will cost you five dollars and I promise you that I will get you back to the Olympia in plenty of time．"
"Let's go，"said Kate．She got in．
We drove for about three minutes and parked at a beach，and while Kate swam，Vincent and I talked as Christmas music played on his taxi radio．Some time later，Kate retimed to the taxi．Then Vincent drove us to the power plant，and a university，and then we sped through a poverty-stricken area．When we arrived，Vincent charged us twenty dollars．Five dollars a person each way．The tour，he said，was free．
Free indeed!
I thanked Vincent for not killing us and only charging us four times his original quote（報價）．

15．[1]Are you a bookworm？Is your head permanently stuck in a book？If so，that's a good thing．There are many benefits to reading．Getting into a good novel improves our literacy （讀寫能力）．But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading？
[2]Of course，when we are young，our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to characters that we love-or love to hate．And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters．Good writing can really capture our imagination．
[3]One modern-day children's author is J．K．Rowling，who's known for her books about the wizard，Harry Potter．Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading．The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers．"
[4]The Trust also honoured schoolchildren，a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read．The actor，Henry Winkler，who has dyslexia，was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties．
[5]Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime；it can also help people in difficult  circumstances．The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and  discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour．She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character，what was the motivation  of somebody，why did they behave that way？"
[6]But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy． _____，the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy，Jackie Collins or  even William Shakespeare．

66．What does the author think of good writing？（no more than 10words）Good writing can really capture our imagination．

14．Imagine a school where there are no academic requirements，no curriculum，and no tests．Children have total contro1of their education and are free to do what they want all day，every day．Sudbury Valley School in Framingham，Massachusetts has been operating this way since 1968．More than 30schools worldwide have imitated the Sudbury model，and over 200schools identify similarly as"democratic schools．"These schools are designed based on the belief that children have an innate curiosity to learn and do best when they direct their own learning．
Sudbury Vallev School admits anyone who wants to enroll（注冊）between the ages of 4and 18．Many parents send their kids from a young age because they believe that kids do best when they learn what they want to learn．Other students come to Sudbury because they had various issues in traditional school systems including rebellion，learning difficulties，and  emotional problems．
Sudbury is administered through a democratic process where every student and staff member has an equal vote．In fact，students outnumber staff 20 to 1．There's no age  segregation（差別）；four-year-olds can hang out with teenagers．Many staff members are part time and have rich careers as historians，businessmen，psychologists，artists，among others．
Learning is self-directed and occurs informally through having conversations，starting  projects．reading for enjoyment，and playing games．If students are interested in a particular topic，they work with staff and other students to organize courses and find resources．The  requirement for getting a high school diploma is to write an essay about how they are prepared t0be an adult．95%of students graduate．90%of graduates end up going to college，better than the national average of 66%．
Most graduates say that they benefited from a self-directed education because they were  more motivated than their peers，lacked fear of authority figures，and got a head start in their field of interest．They work hard at doing the things they love to do．

10．Lacrosse，invented by the NativeA mericans，is a popular team sport in NorthA merica and a national summer sport forC anada．It involves the use of nets，or"heads"as they are called，which consist of a wooden or metal stick with a net on the end．Hockey is a game based on this sport．
The name"lacrosse"was named by the French settlers，with"Crosse"meaning curved stick．Lacrosse played a more serious role in Indian culture than anywhere else．Lacrosse was not a very well known sport until the late nineteenth century．It was mostly a boy's game until a few years ago，and now it is played by both boys and girls．
There were about three different forms of lacrosse based on the different tribes or places of how they played it．One of the ways still played today is called double stick； you play by using a two and a half foot stick in each hand and tossing a deer skin ball in between the two sticks．
Like many other ball games，there are two teams in Lacrosse，each with ten players．There is one goalie，three defensemen，three midfielders and three attackmen．The goalies defend the goals，and if the ball goes into the goal，the team who got the goal scores．Whoever scores the most goals by the end of the game wins，with an overtime period being played if the game is tied．The game has four quarters and starts with a"faceoff"at the beginning of each quarter．A faceoff is when the ball is on the ground to start the game，and one person from each team fights for the bail．
