Much of a parent's job is to provide the gifts of caring, love, and emotional support to children. But one gift is often beyond their reach: the resources to meet the financial demands of college tuition.
For more than 54 years, the United Negro College Fund has fulfilled the dreams of deserving students by closing the gap between the cost of college and what their parents can afford. More than 300,000 students have graduated from United Negro College Fund member colleges since 1944, and 54,000 more axe currently enrolled (入学).
The oldest and most successful minority higher education support organization, the United Negro College Fund is a combination of 39 private, historically black member colleges and universities. Since its founding, it has raised more than $1.3 billion to keep the dream alive for needy families across the country.
What is it that makes the United Negro College Fund so important to America's families？ As well as raising funds and giving technical support to member colleges and universities, it creates hope and opportunity by providing financial assistance to deserving students. Consider the contributions of just a few of the distinguished graduates who have realized the benefits: civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; opera diva Leontyne Price; Olympic track star Edwin Moses; and filmmaker Spike Lee.
Most parents feel embarrassed when their children graduate from high school because they can't ______.
A．afford their children's college tuition
B．offer their children emotional support
C．look after their children
D．give them gifts on their birthdays

Recycling Around the World Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. But we could do more. People must not see recycling as fashionable, but essential.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country
They do not have much space. They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish
But even so, Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
In 1996, the United States recycled and composted （制成肥料） 57 million tons of waste （27% of the nation's solid waste）. This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators （焚化炉）. In doing this, 7,000 rubbish collection programmes and recycling centres helped the authorities.
In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage （废物）. If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminium （铝） cans, then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least $1,000.
In Japan, certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
In one year Britain recycles:
· 1 out of every 3 newspapers.
· 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars （罐子）.
· 1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
· 1 out of every 3 aluminium drink cans.
In 1999, Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste were recycled in Hong Kong itself
Over half the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle
10 times as much as we do now.
However, recycling needs a lot of organisation and special equipment. Also, there is not much use for some recycled material.
第41题：Which of the following is NOT true of the Japanese？
A．They have recycled all their waste.
B．They live in a crowded country.
C．They are very good at recycling.
D．They have to share their limited space with rubbish.

Ernest Hemingway was one of the 20th century's most important writers. His simple, direct style. greatly influenced other writers.
Hemingway was born July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. His father was a doctor. His mother was a singer who had given up her career to marry.
Ernest learned about nature, hunting, and fishing from his father, The Heminways spent their summers on Walloon Lake in northern Michigan, and Ernest was soon able to shoot, fish, and swim very well. He entered first grade a year younger than usual, so he had to work hard to keep up with his older classmates. Ernest read a great deal. He especially liked adventure stories and science. He learned to play the cello so he could take part in family concerts. In high school he got straight A's, edited the school paper, and played in the orchestra. Some of his stories were printed in the school annual.
After high school Ernest got a job as a reporter for the Kansas City Star. But World War I was on in Europe, and Ernest wanted very much to go. He tried to enlist, but his eyesight was too poor. So he joined the Red Cross and was sent to Italy. He was wounded when distributing supplies to frontline troops and returned home a hero.
He began writing for the Toronto Star and later became the paper's foreign correspondent. He and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, settled in Paris. One of their close friends was the writer Gertrude Stein. She discussed Hemingway' s work with him and encouraged him to do more creative writing. When the Star sent him to cover the war between the Turks and the Greeks, he knew what he wanted his writing to do. He wanted it to show the horrors of war so clearly that readers would experience the horrors themselves and would act to put an end to all war.
In 1923 Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in France. A second book of stories, In Our Time, appeared in 1924. Hemingway then decided to give all his time to independent writing. He began work on his first serious novel, The Sun Also Rises. Its motto was Gertrude Stein's remark, "You are all a lost generation." When it was published in 1926, it became a best seller.
Hemingway was divorced from his first wife and married Pauline Pfeiffer in 1927. They lived in Key West, Florida, where Hemingway did a great deal of deep-sea fishing while working on A Farewell to Arms (1929). The book was based on his war experiences in Italy. After it was published, the Hemingways went to Cuba for sport fishing. In later years Hemingway bought land in Cuba and lived there much of the time.
He went big-game hunting in Africa and wrote about it in the Green Hills of Africa (1935). The civil war in Spain became the background for his longest novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. (1940). The year it was published Hemingway was divorced a second time and married Martha Gellhorn, a journalist. As correspondents for Coller’s they followed World War Ⅱ in Europe. Hemingway took part in the D-Day invasion and the French Resistance. After his third divorce in 1945, he married Mary Welsh, whom he had met in London during the war.
In 1953 Hemingway's short novel The Old Man and the Sea (1952), about an old Cuban fisherman, was given a Pulitzer Prize. The book also brought Hemingway the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway had been living in Cuba but he left in 1960 and settled in Ketchum, Idaho. He was ill and depressed. On July 2, 1961, he shot himself.
Ernest Hemingway's first book was published in______.
A．1923
B．1924
C．1926
D．1929

It is true, as the movement critics assert, that the present women's liberation groups are almost entirely based among "middle class" women, that is, college and career women; and the issues of psychological and sexual exploitation and, to a lesser extent, exploitation through consumption, have been the most prominent ones.
It is not surprising that the women's liberation movement should begin among bourgeois women, and should be dominated in the beginning by their consciousness and their particular concerns. Radical women are generally the post war middle class generation that grew up with the right to vote, the chance at higher education and training for supportive roles in the professions and business. Most of them are young and sophisticated enough to have not yet had children and do not have to marry to support themselves. In comparison with most women, they are capable of a certain amount of control over their lives.
The higher development of bourgeois democratic society allows the women who benefit from education and relative equality to see the contradictions between its rhetoric (every child can become president) and their actual place in that society. The working class woman might believe that education could have made her financially independent but the educated career woman finds that money has not made her independent. In fact, because she has been allowed to progress halfway on the upward-mobility ladder she can see the rest of the distance that is denied her only because she is a woman. She can see the similarity between her oppression and that of other sections of the population. Thus, from their own experience, radical women in the movement are aware of more faults in the society than racism and imperialism. Because they have pushed the democratic myth to its limits, they know concretely how it limits them.
At the same time that radical women were learning about American society they were also becoming aware of the male chauvinism in the movement. In fact, that is usually the cause of their first conscious 100 verbalization of the prejudice they feel; it is more disillusioning to know that the same contradiction exists between the movement's rhetoric of equality and its reality, for we expect more of our comrades.
This realization of the deep-seated prejudice against themselves in the movement produces two common reactions among its women: 1) a preoccupation with this immediate barrier (and perhaps a resultant hopelessness), and 2) a tendency to retreat inward, to buy the fool's gold of creating a personally liberated life style.
However, our concept of liberation represents a consciousness that conditions have forced on us while most of our sisters are chained by other conditions, biological and economic, that overwhelm their humanity and desires for self-fulfillment. Our background accounts for our ignorance about the stark oppression of women's daily lives.
The basic difference between Middle Class women and other women in the liberation movement is that _____.
A．Middle Class women are not married and have no children.
B．Middle Class women are not afraid of their husbands.
C．other women have less control of their own lives.
D．other women grow up with no rights to vote.

Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large. reservoir which may be called experience, and the college students will find, that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part—the explanations of why things happen, is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide and confused wilderness and how long scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long.
In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide and confused wilderness" refers to ______.
A．personal experience
B．wild weeds among good plants
C．the information from the parents
D．the vast store of traditional practices
