Social Workers
Social workers help people overcome problems and make their lives better. If people are homeless, sick, or having family problems, social workers will work with them. If students have trouble in school, social workers help them too.
Social workers help these people in different ways. One way is to find resources for people. They find out what kinds of help people need. Then, they set up programs to meet the needs of the individual. They may focus on child abuse, poverty, violence, and other problems. For someone with family difficulties, social workers may find a parenting class or a support group. For a homeless person, they may find a place for them to live and a career training program. For a student, they may find a mentor or a learning disability expert.
Many social workers give counseling. They talk to people about their lives and help them understand and solve their problems and to make plans.
Most social workers spend the day in an office. Some travel to the people they help. Sometimes, they meet with people in the evening or on weekends. Social workers can be very busy when they are helping many people at once.
1.According to the text, what is not social workers' job?
A.To help people with family problems.
B.To make people's lives better.
C.To do the housework for people.

第4题：
请阅读短文。
Do who choose to go on exotic, far-flung holidays deserve free health advice before they travel? And even if they pay, who ensures that they get good, up-to-date information? Who, for that matter, should collect that information in the first place? For a variety of reasons, travel medicine in Britain is a responsibility nobody wants. As a result, many travellers go abroad prepared to avoid serious disease.
Why is travel medicine so unloved? Partly there's an identity problem. Because it takes an interest in anything that impinges on the health of travellers, this emerging medical specialism invariably cuts across the traditional disciplines. It delves into everything from seasickness, jet lag and the hazards of camels to malaria and plague. But travel medicine has a more serious obstacle to overcome. Travel clinics are meant to tell people how to avoid ending up dead or in a hospital when they come home, but it is notoriously difficult to get anybody pay out money for keeping people healthy.
Travel medicine has also been colonized by commercial interests; the vast majority of travel clinics in Britain are run by airlines or travel companies. And while travel concerns are happy to sell profitable injections, they may be less keen to spread bad news about travellers' diarrhea in Turkey, or to take time to spell out preventive measures travellers could take."The NHS finds it difficult to define travellers' health, says Ron Behrens, the only NHS consultant in travel and director of the travel clinic of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London." Should it come within the NHS or should it be paid for? It's Gary area, and opinion is spilt. No one seems to have any responsibility for defining its role, he says.
To compound its low status in the medical hierarchy, travel medicine has to rely on statistics that are patchy at best. In most cases we just don't know how many Britons contract diseases when abroad. And even if a disease linked to travel there is rarely any information about where those afflicted went, what they are, how they behaved, or which vaccinations they had. This shortage of hard facts and figures makes it difficult to give detailed advice to people, information that might even save their lives.
A recent leader in British Medical Journal argued. "Travel medicine will emerge as credible disciplines only if the risks encountered by travellers and the relative benefits of public health interventions are well defined in terms of their relative occurrence, distribution and control. Exactly how much money is wasted by poor travel advice. The real figure is anybody's guess, but it could easily- run into millions. Behrens gives one example. Britain spends more than 1 million each year just on cholera vaccines that often don't work and so give people a false sense of security."Information on the prevention and treatment of all forms of diarrhea would be a better priority, he salts.
What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
查看材料A．Travel advices are not important.
B．Travel medicine is hard to be credible.
C．How to prevent and treat disease can actually help travel medicine popularize.

根据下面资料，回答
Germs are everywhere. You can′t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air!
Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.
Warmer Weather Brings Germs
The world′s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches, fever, and can even kill people.
Under Your Skin
Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Your immune system (免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells (细胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.
What can you do to fight germs? You should wash your hands with soap and water. Soap kills many germs, and water washes them away.
Please fill in the blank with proper phrases to complete the title of the last paragraph.

Traffic Jams一No End in Sight
1 Traffic congestion（拥堵）affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of
cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S.,commuters（通勤人员）spend an
average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institu-
te.While alternative ways of getting around are available,most people still choose their cars because they are
looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.
2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing,whereby cities
charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day.In theory,if the toll is high enough,some
drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.And in practice it seems to work:Singapore,London and
Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.
3 Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flexitime,which lets employees
travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy
times can do their part by sharing cars.Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute(work from
home)so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.
4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads,
especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets.But such techniques do not really
keep cars off the road;they only accommodate more of them.
5 Other,more forward-thinking,planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the
roads every day,and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so
much better both for people and the environment.For this reason,the American government has decided to
spend some$7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with
more efficient technologies.But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the$50
billion being spent on roads and bridges.Most American drivers think it convenient to_________.
A:go by bus
B:encourage more private cars
C:drive around
D:spend more money
E:reduce traffic jams
F:travel regularly答案：C解析：由文章第一段主题句“Traffic congestion affects people throughout the world."，可知交通 拥堵是全球性问题。故选B。
文章第二段第一句是主题句，该段主要讲人们为了在交通拥堵时顺利通过，而不得不付费。故选E。

文章第四段提到，城市规划者提出多修路可以解决交通拥堵的问题，但作者认为这一 方案不能减少汽车数量，其效果是相反的。故选D。
由文章第一段最后一句话，"most people still choose their cars because they are looking forconvenience , comfort and privacy.”可知，选C。

问答题Practice 1Directions: You are asked to write in no less than 150 words about the title of Is It a Good Idea for Poor Students to Live Separately? And you should base your composition on the information given in English below: At the beginning of this new semester, a university in Jiangsu Province has found a visible way to help some of its poorer students: It has built some special dormitories for poor students. More than 100 of the school’s relatively poor students are now housed in these buildings. Besides simple facilities, the major difference between these and other dormitories is that the housing costs 500 yuan a year, but in other residence halls students have to pay 1200 yuan. 1. Do you think this is a good idea to help the poorer students? 2. Give at least two reasons to support you argument. 3. Give some suggestions as to how to solve the problem.正确答案：
【参考范文】
It Is a Good Idea for Poor Students to Live Separately Housing expense is a financial burden for poor students, and reducing the housing cost does help those who are poor. However, I don’t think letting poor students live separately in specially built houses is a good solution to the problem.
Being poor doesn’t mean being inferior, nor does it mean they should be treated differently. Poor students also need respect and equality. Living separately in specially built houses can save them 700 yuan a year, but may add to their depression because an inferior label is placed on them. They may feel that they are different from other schoolmates and they may withdraw themselves into a circle of poor students. Even more seriously, they may develop a feeling of being discriminated against by their schoolmates, their university and the society, and may develop psychological problems.
To solve the problem I think poor students should live together with other students. They can pay the housing fee with the money they earn from their part-time jobs. Student loan is another way to solve the problem. Universities can help poor students get loans from banks to aid the students in a respectful way.解析： 暂无解析 -

Otherwise known as deferring your studies, it can be a good alternative to starting university if you’re feeling exhausted or you’re just not sure what you want to do. Perhaps you want to travel, earn some money by working full-time or get some work experience in your field of interest. There’s a lot to weigh up when deciding whether to take a gap year. Some common masons to take a gap year include: Broaden your view of the world Whether you simply want to see and experience another country, or gain an appreciation and awareness of global issues, taking a defer year can be a great way to immerse yourself in another country. Gain relevant work experience and key skills Working during your defer year means you’ll gain plenty of experience, skills and knowledge, which (especially if in a relevant field) can be highly valuable when applying for jobs later on. Earn some money Following on from that, a working year off can also be a great way to earn some extra money before starting university. You might not earn enough to pay your entire university costs, but you could perhaps cover expenses such as accommodation, text books, travel or even the first semester/ term of your course fees. Develop useful contacts During your defer year, you’ll likely meet a range of different people from all walks of life. This could include people you can call on for job opportunities and references, or simply some international friends on whose sofas you can crash on if you get the chance to visit their home country later. Challenge yourself Many students take the year to tackle challenges they’ve set for themselves, step out of their comfort zone, face their fears and enjoy new experiences. You might decide to go trekking through a jungle, climb a mountain for charity, volunteer in a developing country, or go scuba diving, skiing or snowboarding. Improve and gain new life skills This can be anything from learning and becoming fluent in a foreign language, becoming an instructor in an adventure sport, boosting your IT skills or learning how to teach English as a foreign language. While there are many benefits to taking a gap year, it’s worth considering that there are also risks involved. Some of the disadvantages of a gap year you might encounter include: You’ll be a year behind everyone who graduated high school/ secondary school with you, if they didn’t take a year off themselves. It can cost a lot of money to organize and realize. You may get injured or sick during your travels—if you need prescription medication, make sure to check whether your medication is legal and available in your destination country. You might find your break too interesting/ distracting, and end up not wanting to go back into formal education. Your study skills may have diminished, making it harder for you to adjust to life in education. This can be particularly true for mathematics or physics students, or any course that involves complex theoretical processes and techniques that may not be used outside of the classroom. You may simply find that you didn’t get the experience you were hoping for.正确答案：
【参考范文】
An increasing number of students, rich or poor, would like to spend a year traveling or working in other countries before they go to universities, which stems from a variety of reasons. Some of them just hope that by experiencing different things, they can find what their ambitions truly are. After all, it is an unwise decision to pass directly from high school to university. Some want to be independent by earning extra money. As for me, no matter what you choose, you have to make sure that you are heading to your goals.
Taking a year off gives you a good chance to broaden your horizons, to visit different countries and to meet different people. Perhaps, you can get inspirations from others’ lifestyle. Part-time job can make you economically independent for a period of time, as well as giving you relevant work experience and an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life.
Nevertheless, there are definitely dangers in that process you have to face. With little social experience, young students may slip into some bad habits and end up never getting your college degree. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. After all, academic qualifications are so important in this modern world. Secondly, you may get injured in a particular adventure activity. Besides, it takes a lot of money to take a gap year and you maybe cannot make ends meet. What’s more, you will be a year behind everyone who graduated high school/ secondary school with you, if they didn’t take a year off themselves.
In short, you should think thoroughly before making any significant decision. Stepping out comfort zone is good, but master the skills to control your life is better.解析： 暂无解析 -
