celebrated in the U.S. in the third Sunday of June. This idea was begun by Mrs John Bruces Dodd,
who in 1909 persuaded an organization in Washington to
salute fathers with special church services. The idea was officially agreed to by President Woodrow
Wilson in 1916. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge suggested national celebration of the day to
form closer relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure
of their duties. The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.

certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they
could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put
together to show those sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken or
written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds. Words
become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring
back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number
of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary
style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which
sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore
learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and
common.
B. actions
C .signs
D. sounds
B. The importance of old words.
C. The relation of human experience with words.
D. The gradual change and development of words.
B. Make musical speeches.
C. Learn poems by heart.
D. Associate with listeners.
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…
Send these, the homeless,…to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The Stature of Liberty, with those immigrant-welcoming words by writer Emma Lazarus engraved (刻)
upon it, turns 125 Friday and begins carrying the torch for technology.
Lady Liberty, whose real given name is "Liberty Enlightening the World," will get we bcameras placed
around her torch, showing live vistas (远景) of the New York City skyline and New York Harbor, her
torchand the view looking down. "You don"t have to be afraid of her crown, face and historic Fort Wood all from your computer or smartphone," said David Luchsinger. Jane Ahern, the spokeswoman, says
visitors can even see themselves at the statue"s base via webcamera, or tell mom and dad back home to
look for them.
Go to nps.gov/stli to join in the birthday celebration Freday when the five webcameras are due to be
switched on. Also on schedule:125 immigrants are due to be sworn in, Broadway stars will be present
and actress Sigourney Weaver has been tapped to read the Lazarus poem. The public can try to attend
the festivities by taking a ferry. You can also take an e-tour of Lady Liberty online.
The statue, a gift to the US from the people of France, has become an international symbol fo
democracy and freedom. After 9.11, it was closed for security reasons. The pedestal (基座) reopened
in 2004, and the statue began readmitting visitors in 2009.
The birthday ceremony is also a temporary farewell. The statue is due to close Saturday for uop to a
year so that new stairways and elevators can be istalled among other improvements. However, Liberty
Island will remain open. Ahern says 86% of visitors to the island never step inside the Statue of Liberty.

is wonderful. "He"s my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.
Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life
according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people.
This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren"t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet
more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep
their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a
dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and
even life premium for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official
explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
B. Tom is her child
C. Tom is her dog
D. Tom often falls ill
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
B. medical check
C. entertainment expense
D. protection fee
B. The owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company.
D. The government.
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs.
The meaning of the word "volunteer " may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means "
one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of
what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta（加尔各答）. The following is her story.
"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human
being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I
flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better
to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very
much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."
1. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.
A. is willing to help those in need without pay
B. can afford to travel to different places
C. has a strong wish to be successful
D. has made a lot of money in life
2. Tracy started her work as a volunteer ______.
A. after she met Mother Teresa
B. after she finished high school
C. when she was touring Calcutta
D. when she was working in a hospital
3. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?

B. She had already had some experience.
C. She was asked by Mother Teresa.
D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
