     When a crisis (危机) develops in the world, Doctors Without Borders is usually there to help. This
organization provides emergency care to victims of armed conflict, natural and manmade disasters, and
fast-spreading diseases. The group also assists people who have no other way to receive health care. It
trains local health workers, provides mental health care, and organizes nutrition and other programs.
     Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres. A group of
doctors from France started the organization in 1971. They said they felt strongly that race, religion and
political beliefs should not prevent someone from receiving health care. They also said the medical needs
of individuals were more important than national borders.
     Doctors Without Borders is also working to get medicines to poor people. It is involved in a new drug
research organization in Geneva. The effort is called the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative. Research
centers in Brazil, France, India, Kenya and Malaysia are also involved.
     The organizers say drug companies have forgotten about the diseases that affect millions of people in
developing countries. Scientists will seek new drugs to treat diseases like sleeping sickness and
leishmaniasis [(医)利什曼病(尤指黑热病)]. Both are spread by insects. What should be done is to spend
about two-hundred-fifty-million dollars over the next ten years to develop new treatments for these and
other diseases.
      In 1999, Doctors Without Borders won the Nobel Peace Prize. The group was recognized for its work
in the conflicts in Kosovo and East Timor.

Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

  Think twice before you decide

  The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的) diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies known to use practices that go against the law such as using drugs to increase milk production in cows.

  Help get the word out

  Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.

  Write a letter

  We’ve all heard the saying, “ The pen is more powerful than the sword”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

  Be more loving

  If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for taking care of pitiful animals.

  Let your actions be an example to others

  It may sound simple ,but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

                           Title: Ways of _______ animals

Made In The USA: An Export Boom

In his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U.S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U.S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”

Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U.S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.

Competitive In A Global Market

Marlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world. “We export to 36 countries,” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz.“We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”

It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.

Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says,“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”

Services Are Exports, Too

Another place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That's where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn't actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.

“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry,” the nation's top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.

And There Are Other Factors

So why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist. “A lot of it is being driven by smart machines,” he tells Raz,“The U.S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”

China factors a lot in America's export economy, too.“Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.

Will Jobs Grow, too?

“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.”Cowen says.“So I don't view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”

So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U.S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization(两极) of economic outcomes.

任务型阅读。请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
                                            Adventure Travel
    Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries
and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new
friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply
to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of
today's travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming
more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting. 
                                        HIKING
    Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may
want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take
exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn't have to be very expensive. You
can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking
is simple: good shoes, clothes and backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or
along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.
    Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn't forget safety. Here are some basic tips
for successful hiking: 
    ★ Hike with your friends. 
    ★ Tell someone where you are going. 
    ★ Bring water and good map. 
    ★ Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes or poisonous plants. 
    ★ Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun. 
    ★ Bring a cell phone if you have one.
                                        Rafting 
    Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to
paddle (划桨) down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you
want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen
trees or rocks. If you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try white-water
rafting. White-water rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rafting. It is
done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. You have to be careful not to
hit rocks, trees and other dangers. The name "white-water" comes from the fact the water
in these rivers and streams looks white when it moves quickly.
    As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You
also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to get in and out of the raft.
You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life
jacket.
                                                      People travel for various 1._____
Hiking                Rafting            
2. _____ Close to nature
Take exercise.
Easy and 5. ______
Advantage 8. ______ nature

and a backpack

注意:每空格1个单词。
    Quality after-school programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and
other high-risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
    The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students
who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved
grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame.
After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime,
drug-taking, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar
youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting different kinds of fields
of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say
that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of
society.
    Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make
a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage matters-young people
who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a
shorter period of time. Next, after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need
help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best
when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, skill building meaningful
involvement, expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in
the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment,
encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school
programs have a promising future, how they are designed and run matters.
