　　program called Kids Café is helping some of these children by

　　providing free nutritious(有营养的)snacks and meals during after­school programs.

　　At a community(社区)center in Virginia just outside of Washington，D.C.，children make a snack as part of their after­school program.“The snack is very healthy for your body，but the main thing is that it tastes really，really good，”Keith Clements tells them.He runs the Kids Café program.

　　The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local

　　schools.About half have parents

　　from Ethiopia.Many of the children eat their traditional food at home.Kids Café，with food offered free by a food bank，gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.

　　is weird.”Her mother，Daffany Nance has two children in the program.She's glad her kids are getting nutritious food.“Even in my house we don't have much junk food，”she says “so it's very important that it's healthy and continues to help them grow better.”

　　The charity(慈善机构)，Feeding America started the national Kids Café program in 1993，The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.

　　Kids Café became part of the after­school program at this community center five years ago.Lori McFail heads the after­school program.She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food.She hopes the children will make full use of what they've learned about nutrition in their lives.

　　American office workers spend an average of 52 hours a week at their desks, according to a statistic survey. Some might argue that not all that time is spent working, but still all those hours in windowless offices with artificial light can have an influence.

　　A few green additions could have a large effect on worker happiness, according to the survey led by Tina Cade from Texas State University.

　　“We pretty much found out that if you had windows and plants or even if you just had plants in your office, you were more satisfied with your job, ”Cade told LiveScience.“We thought it was important for offices because a lot of times people are looking for ways to keep employees happy and do all these expensive things like building a gym. Maybe for less investment they could put in a few plants in important places.”

　　The team surveyed 450 office workers in Texas and the Midwest, asking questions about job satisfaction and the work environments. When asked about their overall life quality, 82 said they felt“content”or“very happpy”. Only 69 percent of those who work with plants but without windows, and 60 percent of those who have windows but no plants, said they felt this way.

　　The group of people who work without plants or windows were

　　the most dissatisfied, with only 58 percent of them saying that overall they were “content”or“very happy”. While no one who works with plants, windows, or both reported they felt“miserable”，0.8 percent of those who work in offices without either said they were “miserable”．“I was really surprised that having a plant in your office appeared to be more beneficial than having a window in your office，”Cade said.“Everybody says，‘I need a window！'but actually it seemed like a plant could be a suitable alternative.”

　　52．What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　A．Green plants can increase job satisfaction.

　　B．An easier way to increase job satisfaction.

　　C．What the best working environment is.

　　D．Who are happy with their job environment.

　　答案　A　[主旨考查题。通篇是围绕在办公室里摆放绿色植物可增加工作快乐指数而展开的。]

　　53．Among the 450 people surveyed, ________.

　　A．69 percent have plants in their offices

　　B．60 percent have windows in their walls

　　C．0.8 percent of them feel dissatisfied

　　D．about 18 percent of them are satisfied

　　答案　D　[细节辨认题。第四段的头两句说：接受调查的有450人，其中82人满意。其他的数据都不是根据450这个数字计算出来的。室内有植物但没窗户的人，69%满意，有窗户没植物的满意率是60%；第五段中，既没窗户又没植物的环境下的人，有0.8%说“糟糕”。]

　　54．According to the survey, the group of people who work without plants or windows

　　________.

　　A．didn't feel content at all

　　B．all suffered from work pressure

　　C．worked with low efficiency

　　D．were the most dissatisfied

　　答案　D　[细节辨认题。倒数第二段已经说的很明确，在接受调查的人群中，办公室没有窗子或室内没有植物的感到最不满意。]

　　55．Which of the following statement is true?

　　A．The employers want to do little to keep employees happy.

　　B．Sometimes it doesn't need much to increase job happiness.

　　C．A gym contributes less to job happiness than green plants.

　　D．Employers have tried every means to increase job happiness.

　　答案　B　[细节归纳题。根据第三段的后半部分的“好多次人们想方设法让雇员满意，不惜花费巨资修建健身房。抑或，少投点资，在重要位置摆放点植物就可以”以及文章的最后的“……事实上，一株植物就是合适的替代”可归纳出：要增加文员工作的幸福指数，有时不必花费巨资。]

　　四、写作(共两个写作任务，满分35分)

　　写作一

　　Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

　　It is universally acknowledged that people cannot succeed or achieve their targets without a strong will and persistence.A variety of factors may account for this phenomenon as follows.

　　For one thing，no one can deny the fact that persistence is the key point in accomplishing one's task.A great number of drugsters would stop smoking a couple of days，but only a few of them may succeed in the end.For another，the people who cannot quit smoking may easily be affected by his circumstances and surroundings.In that case，people tend to fail to resist various temptations around them.

　　From what has been discussed above，we may safely

　　come to the

　　conclusion that

　　only

　　by concentrating on the object and strong selfdiscipline can we obtain our goals successfully in the future.

　　写作二

　　One day in our class meeting，the monitor announced that our school would hold a party to celebrate the New Year's Day，for which we signed up excitedly.From the next day on，we took an action to prepare for it.Some practiced singing with some accompanying them.All of them devoted a great deal.In the meantime，the students who were not

　　expert

　　in performance

　　contributed energetically.They helped design costume for the performers while some others attempted to decorate the stage enthusiastically.It was not long before the party came.Focusing on the outstanding performance，all the audience enjoyed a great time.Everyone

　　was

　　more than

　　content

　　with the celebration.

　　Now we long for the next party，for all of us experienced the delighted process of the activity，where we can learn the importance of sharing and cooperation.
