One such volunteer is Carlie Rocco. After completing an Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development (AYAD) role, 27-year-old Carlie travelled to China to take up the role of Rural Development Advisor(咨询员)at Yunnan Agricultural University. “I had an interest in working in
development and learning new skills, so I decided to volunteer to be able to pursue that. We had one project where we used this knowledge to grow and collect Chinese medicinal herbs (中药）, and then linked them up with Chinese medicine companies.”
“It’s a great way to acquire a lot of new skills in a short space of time… it would take a lot longer if you wanted to do that in Australia, to acquire some of those universal professional skills like relationship building, communication and cross-cultural skills.”
Reflecting on her volunteer experience, Carlie felt proud of what she managed to achieve together with her local colleagues at Yunnan Agricultural University and, alter all, she gained valuable professional skills in the process:

As an Australian Youth, Carlie worked as a Rural Development Advisor at Yunnan Agricultural University. She spared no effort to help others, and gained some valuable skills.
As shown from Carlie’s experience, providing a free service for others and improving oneself is what volunteer work is all about.
My elder sister worked as a volunteer for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. She was responsible for showing the audience in and out of the stadiums and demonstrating a series of gestures to cheer up the athletes at the game. Every night when she got back late, she was too exhausted to say a word or stand up. But she has learnt to appreciate what others have done for her, which she used to take for granted.”
Thus it can be seen that gratefulness is the most important quality for volunteers, because to be an excellent volunteer is to give rather than receive.

It might seem hard to imagine that a bad tooth could be deadly.But doctors in the Washington area say a twelveyearold boy died last month of a tooth infection that spread to his brain.They say it might have been prevented if the boy had received the dental care he needed.
Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care should start at birth.They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth.Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth.
When baby’s teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush.Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies，and use them very gently.
The use of fluoride(氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world.This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies.The fluoride mixes with enamel(釉质)，the hard surface on teeth，to help prevent holes，or cavities from forming.
But the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points out that young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth.The group notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems.So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth.And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste，the size of a green pea，should be used.
Parents often wonder what effects sucking a thumb or sucking on a pacifier might have on their baby’s teeth.Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.
The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four.If it continues，the group advises parents to talk to their child’s dentist or doctor.It could influence the correct development of permanent teeth.
1．The boy with a bad tooth died because ________.
A．his tooth disease was very deadly

D．children form the habit of sucking their thumbs
3．The underlined word “supervised” in the fifth paragraph means “________”．
A．watched and directed
B．taught and helped
C．praised and advised
D．led and pointed out
4．Which one of the followings is NOT true according to this passage?
A．Dental care should be given to babies as soon as they are born.
B．Special toothbrushes should be used for babies.
C．Breast milk and fluoride are helpful to protect baby teeth.

Roberto Clemente was one of the most honored baseball players in history.Many players are known for their skills or the records they broke.But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.
Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially.As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.
In school，Roberto was an excellent runner.But more than anything，he loved playing baseball.Puerto Rico’s warm island climate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year.But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.
While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Rico’s Winter League.At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the United States.
This ability was recognised the following year.An official from the Brooklyn Dodgers team in New York City came to Puerto Rico looking for new young players.The official，Al Campanis，was pleased with Roberto’s skills.He offered to give him a 10,000 dollar gift to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
But Roberto was unable to join the major league team because he was still in high school.The young baseball player told Mr.Campanis that he would join the Brooklyn team as soon as he finished school.
So Roberto joined the Brooklyn Dodgers after finishing high school.But Roberto began playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955.
Roberto stood out among the other players in his team.The Pittsburgh Pirates did not do well the first few years when Roberto played in the team.But in 1960，everything changed.That year，he played in the first of his 12 AllStar games.Every year，the best players from the National and American leagues compete in an AllStar game.That same year，Roberto helped his team beat the New York Yankees to win the World Series—the national baseball championship.

内容解读
“我”和女朋友在公交车上碰到了一个“熟悉的”陌生女孩，她对“我”热情有加，说她是“我”的老邻居Nancy，这让“我”女友嫉妒不已，而“我”却丈二和尚摸不着头脑，因为我实在不知道有Nancy这样一个邻居。后来真相大白，原来，当时车上正有小偷要掏“我”的口袋，是这个女孩急中生智，防止了“我”的失窃。
1．C [“我们”站了好几站才有座位，可知当时汽车很拥挤，用crowded。]
2．B [好几站后，才有可以坐的(available)座位，此处available表示“可得到的，可获得的”。ready准备好的；special特殊的；suitable合适的，都与语境不符。]
3．A [有人向“我”打招呼，而“我”不知道她是谁，所以只能竭尽全力去辨认(identify)这个人是谁。realize意识到；remind提醒；judge判断，都与语境不符。]
4．D [此处是固定词组take sb. for sb.，意为“把某人误认为某人”，只能用介词for。]
5．B [虽然不认识她，但“我”还是礼貌地回应了她，同时打算(plan to)随后给“我”女友解释。prefer更喜欢；manage设法完成；promise保证，都与语境不符。]
6．C [此时“我”女朋友抬起眼来(raise her eyes)，看到了这个漂亮的女孩子。因为“我”女朋友是坐在座位上的，动作肯定是抬起(raise)眼睛，所以选C项。]
7．D [这个漂亮女孩子意识到(aware)“我们”的状况，马上说，“让我介绍一下(introduce)我自己，我是Nancy，我们曾经是邻居(neighbors)，非常高兴见到你”。她表现得非常自然(naturally)。]
8．C [从说话内容可知，这里女孩先介绍自己(introduce)。]
9．B [第四段第一句话中的among my neighbors有提示。]
10．A [参见7题解析。她表现得非常自然(naturally)。generously慷慨地；cautiously小心地；normally正常地，都与语境不符。]
11．B [但“我”还是一头雾水(at a loss)。at a loss是固定词组，表示“不知所措”。in a hurry匆忙地；at ease自由自在；in time及时，都与语境不符。]
12．C [从语境可知，当女孩再次转向“我”时(when)，“我”正在担心如何向女友解释呢。]
13．B [女孩向“我”索要电话号码，以便“我们”能(can)随后联系，“我”不得已接受了她的请求(request)。]
14．A [参见13题解析。]
15．D [从上下文可知，她要了“我”的电话号码，这时“我”收到了她发来的短信(message)。]
16．B [从语境可知，“我”女朋友有点“吃醋”，所以看到陌生人的短信，一把夺过(seize)手机。remove移开；find发现；catch接住，都与语境不符。]
17．D [pick one’s pocket是固定词组，表示“扒窃，掏包儿”。steal后跟偷的东西，它和pocket连用时需加介词。]
18．C [从上下文可知，女孩本来在前面(previous)一站要下车的。previous以前的，前面的，符合语境。terminal终点的；former前者的；latter后者的，都与语境不符。]
19．B [两个小偷也打算(intend to)在同一站下车。intend to打算。]
20．A [此处表示由于这次事件，女孩推迟了下车的时间。incident表示“发生的事情(尤指不寻常的或讨厌的)”，符合语境。matter问题，事情；accident(交通)事故；affair个人琐事。]

语篇定位
本文是一篇资讯报道。人们很难想象牙病会致命，但是华盛顿地区的医生们说，上个月一个12岁的男孩死于蔓延到大脑的牙病感染。文章强调了保护牙齿的重要性。
长难句分析
But doctors in the Washington area say a twelveyearold boy died last month of a tooth infection that spread to his brain.
该句中的that引导一个定语从句，其中spread to意为“传播到，蔓延到”。句意为：但是华盛顿地区的医生们说，上个月一个12岁的男孩死于蔓延到大脑的牙病感染。
1．C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They say it might have been prevented...”可知，如果男孩得到及时治疗的话，或许能阻止这种事情的发生。]
2．B [推理判断题。第三段中的“When baby’s teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush.”告诉我们，在婴儿的牙齿长出来的时候就应该用湿的牙刷给他刷牙。]
3．A [词义猜测题。根据上下文可知该词的意思是“监督，指导”。此处表示孩子们刷牙的时候应该给予监督和指导。]
4．D [是非判断题。由第六段中的“Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life.”及下文可知，早期的吮吸是有好处的，但是四岁的时候如果还这样就要寻求牙医的帮助了。因此，D项的意思不明确，所以是错误的。]
5．B [标题归纳题。文章通过对一个12岁的男孩死亡事例的分析，说明了孩子的牙齿从出生时就要得到及时的护理。]
语篇定位

6．D [推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，罗伯托·克莱门特球技高超而且人品高尚，所以他令人敬仰。]
7．C [推理判断题。根据第二段可知，罗伯托家境贫困，因此他需要帮助父亲到农场干活。除了下地干活，父亲还经营了一个食品店。可见他的父亲很辛苦。]
8．A [推理判断题。根据第五段可知，罗伯托的才能终于得到了认可。在一次比赛中，星探发现了罗伯托的才能，因此出价1万美元邀请他去打球。]
9．C [细节理解题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，罗伯托·克莱门特曾经效力的美国匹兹堡海盗队在1960年获得美国棒球联赛冠军。这与罗伯托·克莱门特的特殊贡献密不可分。]
10．A [标题归纳题。本文为人物传记，介绍了美国著名的棒球运动员罗伯托·克莱门特的一生及主要经历和贡献。因此，最佳答案为A。]
