One day, Tom was on his way to an interview in one hour. Waiting for the bus to the office where he was to be interviewed, he saw an old man kicking a tyre (轮胎) of his car wildly. Obviously, there was something wrong with the car. Tom immediately went up to give him a hand. When he finished repairing the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay. Tom said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you where you are going. It’s the least I could do.” Tom agreed.
On his arrival, Tom found there was a long line of applicants (求职者) waiting to be interviewed. Tom’s shirt was still dirty after the car repair, but he did not have time to have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Tom’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Soon after the interviewer turned the chair and to Tom’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our company before you came into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Tom sat down and they shared a cup of coffee happily together.

A large number of India’s poor kids receive little or no education. Even if they enter a formal school, their dropout rates are very high. Door Step School (DSS) aims to bridge the huge gap between these kids and education.
True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t get formal education due to a variety of reasons.
The team at DSS follows a direct model——they set up a classroom in any area , where they foresee the greatest need. They look for proper locations, and after making sure that enough resources are in place, they accept students in the area. DSS provides lessons of different levels. The organization even tries to provide classes in the local language, or whatever the students choose.
Another interesting project of DSS is a school on wheels. It uses a bus that has been changed into a classroom, which holds about 25 kids at a time.
Since it was started in 1988, Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring city of Pune in Maharashtra, covering a larger area and a number of kids. Now DSS has a team of more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000 lives each year.
DSS doesn’t end at kids. The organisation educates parents on the importance of sending their kids to school. Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two decades. Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces. All children have the right to an education, and DSS is providing just that.
28. What’s the aim of DSS ?
A.To educate students informally.
B. To set up a formal school.
C. To introduce its organization.
D. To let poor kids get education.
29. Where does DSS build its classrooms ?
A. In any area in need.
B. Near students’ school.
C. In the areas with large populations.
D. Far away from formal schools.
30. What does paragraph5 mainly tell us about DSS?
A. Its future.
B. Its situation.
C. Its development.
D. Its management.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Most Indian children refuse to attend school.
B. Some Indian parents do not value education.
C. Poverty is the biggest problem in India.
D. What DSS provides has little effect.

Sundell Inc. said Monday that its new smart socks have completed the first test , bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the smart socks within the next year . This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may satisfy anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器)to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skills in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr. Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around￡120, which will go on sale in the near future .
32.What does the underlined phrase “with two left feet” in paragraph1 mean?
A. Having no right foot.
B. Having no sense of music.
C. Being bad at dancing.
D. Inventing the socks.
33. What’s special about fibers that are used to make the socks?
A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.
B. They can watch the movement of feet.
C. They are expensive to produce.
D. They act as a smart phone for users.
34. What can we learn from Dr. Vigano’s words?
A. Everyone can make good use of the smart socks.
B. Users can run as fast as they like with the socks.
C. The socks don’t suit women with high heels.
D. No runners will get hurt because of the socks.
35. What’s the best title for the text ?
A. Smart Socks on Sale
B. Sundell’s First Test
C. Smart Socks Closer to Reality
D. Mr. Vigano’ s Dream Coming True
