Cameron thought of himself as merely organized．He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything ,he did just enough to get it right．Exactly right, of course as he was fond of telling his staff, “if it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong”．Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out．And doing the corrections exactly right of course．
Strangely enough ,his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company ,and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department ,as a sort of elite（出类拔萃）unit．Those programs that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron’s men got those．“It’s mission（任务）critical—give it to Cameron” was almost a catch—phrase with his team．
It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things．He wanted things done just so ,not because of a personal taste ,but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done．

When Nancy Lublin got $5,000 from her grandpa in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans .Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. "If a woman goes for a job interview poorly dressed, she won't get the job." Lublin says. “ but without a job, she can't afford suitable clothes."
So with the money Lublin founded "Dress for Success” and began collecting women's clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. "So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again," one of Lublin's assistants says "Nancy's idea is so simple and yet so important to women."
Many women come to Lublin's office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need. Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to "Dress for Success" for help. Many of them have won jobs. Some have round jobs after being out of work for many years.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.
Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions（暂被停学）．A Black
public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as
likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.
So I applaud the U．S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to
address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile（青少年)justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.
These resources, officially known as "guidance," will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.
While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular
nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excluded
Black students and are of questionable educational value including "zero tolerance" discipline
policies which require mandatory（强制的）consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.
Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.
67. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’education.
B ．Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
C ．The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.
D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
68．The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may＿．
A. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses
B ．prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence
C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year
D ．punish Black children for dropping out of school
69. According to the passage, the "zero tolerance" discipline policies＿·
A. have questionable consequences
B ．are prohibited by the guidance
C ．prevent Black children from being absent from school
D. were considered discriminatory when they were released
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Criticism of the Education System B. Steps Forward on School Discipline
C ．Suggestions on the Civil Rights Act D. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项。
Many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".
【小题1】The main idea of the passage is _______________.
A. why the writer should be a hero
B. what a hero exactly is
C. whether the writer is a hero
D. that everyone is a hero
【小题2】Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?
A. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.
B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.
C. Because his story saved her son’s life.
D. Because he was cute and kind to everybody.
【小题3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The wonderful card the writer received.
B. The action of sending the card.
C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.
D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.
【小题4】 What’s the writer’s attitude to “brave people”?
A. neutral
B. supportive
C. objective
D. irony
【小题1】主旨题：从全篇文章和第二段的句子，That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?可知这篇文章讲的是真正的英雄是什么，选B

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Each year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日 )' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.
If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.
Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.
Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
【小题1】The underlined word “pops” means “
”.
A. escapes
B. appears
C. increases
D. hides
【小题2】The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.
A. some of the predictions were unavailable
B. Phil wants to do that for fun
C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions
D. he has predicted more late springs
【小题3】 How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?
A. By an accident.
B. From people's life improving.
C. By his own attractive force
D. From much money raised by the town.
【小题4】Which does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The National Climate Data Center
B. A German tradition
C. A tongue-twisting small town
D. Groundhog Day weather forecasting
