Why do People Volunteer? In the past, it was thought that individuals volunteered strictly for altruistic（利他的）reasons. The good Samaritan（萨米利亚人，乐善好施的人）goes out of their way to aid a stranger. The solider goes back to save a fallen comrade. It was a noble thing for someone to lend a hand for the greater good of mankind. People help those in need for no reward or any grand show of gratitude. However, recent studies have indicated that there may be other reasons. Some people volunteer to gain career experience, to build their resume. They also volunteer to develop skills or learn new ones. In addition, volunteer work enables others to make contacts with people in their chosen career. Some people volunteer to build self-esteem, to make themselves feel better, to feel needed, to feel that they have a place in this world and to truly feel like they are making a contribution to society. However, I volunteer to give back to my community. I am grateful for the help I received from others. When I was in high school, I participated in the Upward Bound program. There I was influenced by the academic success of my tutors. I was challenged by them to exceed all of their expectations, and to broaden my horizons of thinking. Through Upward Bound I was able to acquire skills and opportunities that have helped me become the man that I am today. So I give back to enable kids to have the same chances that I have had. Volunteering is the ultimate payback to those who helped me on the road to success. I remember asking a consultant when I was in Upward Bound how I could repay him. He smiled and said, "Shawn, you can help me by helping others." That was a statement so simple, yet so deep in its meaning. The feeling that I can shape someone's life for the better is unexplainable. When I got my first volunteer position as a junior consultant at my local Boys and Girls club, I was eager to be a great role model for the kids. But things did not work out as I initially thought. After about a couple of weeks of volunteering, I felt that my efforts were in vain, because no one really appreciated what I was trying to do. It was a slow process and it got to be frustrating. By the time I had been at my wits' end and was ready to quit, it happened that the very day I intended to tell my supervisor of my decision I overheard some of the kids asking where I was that day. They said they liked having me around. My desire to give back to the community was renewed by the fact that I made a difference. I feel that you should not volunteer for the praise or to boost your resume. You should not do it because it gives your organisation a community service for some kind of quota（配额）. You should do it simply because it must be done. Yes, if there was not a need to volunteer, why would we do it in the first place? When we volunteer, we are ultimately filling in the gaps that have been stretched out by apathy （冷漠）and the need of the people. Some people are dissatisfied with those people that choose to volunteer for personal gain. I on the other hand am not. Yes, it is selfish of them to be under the guise of doing something for others when they really are doing it for themselves. But despite the fact that they are benefiting from volunteering, so are the people they are helping. It is the classic case of symbiosis（共生现象，互惠关系）and that is a good thing. After all we all win when we volunteer. So I pray everyone to find a cause and volunteer. Because not only will you be helping others, you will be helping yourself as well.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT the reason why people volunteer? A.For well-built resume.B.For more experience.C.For challenges.D.For self-realization.2.Why does the writer volunteer? ①Because he wants to give back to his community ②Because there is a need and it must be done. ③Because he needs to fill the community service quota. ④Because he wants to shape someone's lifeA.①②B.②③C.③④D.①④3.Summarise in YOUR OWN WORDS why the author wanted to quit after weeks of volunteering, and what made him continue.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
