If teaching English is what you love, you will enjoy teaching the language as a volunteer in India. As an English teacher, you will enjoy working in partner institutions (合伙的机构) and on independent projects. Welcome to join our program!
You will find students who are eager to learn, and learners who are excited to be taught by foreigners and in a good learning environment. The atmosphere is quite good, you will love it and it will be exciting for you to help the children improve their skills in English and your English teaching skills.
Most of the students are from Himalayan Mountains who do not have a sound(全面的) knowledge of English. Here volunteers work with a specific (具体的)aim and their work is to reach the desired(预期的) goal. Most of the schools in the villages have a small number of students; therefore, you will not be exhausted as what happens in learning institutions with higher numbers of learners. The numbers are manageable and again the students are eager to learn. They appreciate being taught by native English speakers, because they can learn the language in an original setting (环境) unlike in their rural (乡村的) setting where it is influenced by the local accents.
You do not have to be a teacher to volunteer in this program, given that (鉴于，考虑到) it is only an attempt (尝试)to give the children a different view of the language. One is not required to offer an in-depth(深入的) knowledge of English grammar; all that is needed is that you are a native speaker and willing to motivate (刺激) the children to improve their English speaking, reading and writing skills. Study materials are provided in the volunteer house. But for those who may have their own, they are encouraged to bring them along.
To be a volunteer as an English teacher, you need a sound knowledge of English grammar. Also, you need to have interest in meeting with new children and people. As an individual (个人), if you want to start as an English teacher in India, it is so easy. You can contact (联系) us by teachinginindia@.

B 篇
The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性关节炎) causes me to wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. needing water. I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my American bulldog(牛头犬), Rock.
Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs,he was running up, and he never came down the stairs,no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, “We’ve got to go back up.”
When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn’t remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that’s when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I then broke the window, got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t slip off (滑下去). Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.
I’m scared of heights and have physical issues (身体上的问题), because of my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn’t let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed.
I found our ladder(梯子), placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine-month-old son with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but I never saw him again.
I’m not a hero. I’m just an ordinary person who would help anybody. This happened to be the time when I helped my own family. I live to protect my family. Just like Rock - he lived to protect us.
24. Why did Rock behave (表现) unusually?
A.To inform the author of the fire.
B. To upset the author.
C. To hope to stay upstairs.
D. To express his dissatisfaction.
25. When did the author realize a fire had happened?
A. When he walked downstairs a second time.
B. When he got up to get some water.
C. When he heard the bulldog barking.
D. When he caught sight of a light downstairs.
26. What can we infer from the text?
A. The author’s wife was so scared that she couldn’t say a word.
B. Rock didn’t survive(经历...而幸存) the fire.
C. Nobody would like to help the author’s family.
D. The author wouldn’t like to stay with Rock any longer.
27. What most probably drove (驱使) the author to save the family in danger?
A. His confidence (信心) to overcome the difficulty.
B. His responsibility to the family.

D.His ability to put out (扑灭) the fire.

When Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to enter the Boston Marathon (马拉松) with a
number, in 1967, she knew she’d be changing history. At the time, women weren’t officially allowed to enter the race. To be accepted, Switzer signed up (报名) with her initials (英文缩写) as “K. V. Switzer.” On race day, however, she showed her lipstick (口红) and earrings proudly, taking her place at the starting line.
Switzer was at mile two when race manager John Semple, angered by a woman entering the
male-only marathon, ran up and tried to push her off the course (赛道) , yelling, “Get out of my race!” But with Switzer’s boyfriend knocking Semple back, she made it (成功做到) in four hours and twenty minutes.
To mark the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of her barrier-breaking run, Switzer, now 70, plans
to repeat the 26.2-mile journey. In the race, Switzer will wear the number 261, the same one the official tried tearing off 50 years ago. In her honor, the Boston Marathon will leave the number out for her in future races.
Switzer has 39 marathons under her belt (得到的), including coming in first in New York in
1974 and running in the Olympics in 1984. The last time she finished one in Boston was in 1976, four years after women officially entered it.
Switzer’s movement goes beyond(远不止) letting women enter that race. Founding a
nonprofit (非营利的)international women’s running club, Switzer chose the name “261 fearless”. “My goal is to reach women in places right now where they’re not allowed to leave the house alone, drive a car or get an education,” Switzer said. “ If running can give women a sense of strength, and make them no longer victims and weak, that’s what I hope it can do.”

Teens suffering from depression (抑郁症) are not likely (不太可能) to tell parents straight up, and they may use confusing language to describe their feeling, researchers said. According to Daniela DeFrino of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine and College of Nursing, teens rarely stated they were depressed, but they often described their feelings like, “I’m down. I always find somehow to go back to stressful mode (有压力的状态).”
“Parents can easily overlook these expressions or link them to regular stress,” said DeFrino. “But sometimes there is so much more under the surface that can lead to depression.” DeFrino and colleagues went through deep interviews done with 369 teenagers taking part in an ongoing health study paid for by the National Institute of Mental Health. The teens, considered at risk for depression, gave indirect clues to their state of mind.
These teens are reported feeling angry, a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, and either sleeping too much or having trouble sleeping. In terms of (在...方面) the reasons, most mentioned homework pressure and expectations of success. Teens whose moods (情绪) had worsened talked about arguments with parents, verbal (口头的) and emotional abuse. Two-thirds of the teens had visited doctors for health problems. “Doctors, nurses and other medical providers need to be aware of the opportunities to care a child’s mental health, ” DeFrino said.
“Teens may be experiencing a lot of internal(内心的) struggles and difficult life stresses, which need our examination with sensitive questioning and understanding,” DeFrino explained. “In this way, we can find children’s mental health problems and help deal with them in advance.”
32. How do teens often express their depression according to Paragraph 1?
A. They use indirect ways to show it.
B. They mention they are depressed directly.
C. They say they are busy and sleepy.
D. They say they don’t know what to look for.
33. What does the underlined word “overlook” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Remember. B. Ignore. C.Watch. D. Forget.
34. Most teens who took part in the health study __________.
A. refused to see doctors
B. never took part in activities
C. felt stressed about homework and success
D. argued with their parents and teachers
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Teens and care providers. B. Teen depression.
C. Teen stress. D. Teens and parents.

Health and happiness
Happiness can have an effect on our health. Here are two reasons.
_ 36______. When you’re happy, you’re more likely to stick to your healthy habits, such as exercising and eating well. In turn, these habits work on the hormones (荷尔蒙) that influence your happiness.
Feeling happy helps prevent you from becoming overweight. When your mood（情绪）is down, you’re more likely to (更加有可能) skip workouts (不做锻炼), overeat and have difficulty sleeping. Both short-term (短期) stress and long-term stress have been found to increase appetite (胃口).
37 . As is known to us all, being overweight harms our health.
So how to become happy? Here are some tips(建议). 38 . Exercise decreases the body’s level of stress hormones. Set fitness goals, such as achieving a personal record in a race or mastering a new yoga pose (瑜伽姿势). As you get stronger and gain energy, you’ll probably see a boost (增强) in self-esteem (自尊), pride and confidence. And you’ll feel happier in the end.
You can make a “me time” list. Whether it’s a 10-munute break or a 60-munute “happy hour”, finding time for yourself every day will make you a happier and healthier person. 39 You can take a bath, or spend some quiet time with a good book and a cup of tea, or catch up on your favorite TV show.
You can give up doing something. To avoid feeling stressed or over whelmed(难以承受的), you can do the important things first and have realistic (切合实际的) expectations for yourself. 40 While it’s important to be t
