10．I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem courier．Since March 2012，I've done 89trips-of those，51have been abroad，I have 42hours to carry stem cells （干细胞） in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last．In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor （捐献者） to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72hours at most，So I am always conscious of time．
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America．I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London．But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said："Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you-there are no flights from Washington．"So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said："In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom．"She just dropped everything．She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled．
For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life．

2．After almost an entire year of saving from shopping and vacationing，you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heat's desire．Now the most important question comes what to do with the earnings？Should you fulfill dreams of the present，or keep saving it for a rainy day？
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its uncertainty．One may be on a winning situation now，but it will not always be so．One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain，and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds．Save for those rainy days，they say．Do not spend too much，live within a budget，stay away from credit no matter how small and save for the future．Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earn our first salary，the lessons start．
In fact，the pocket money that we receive when we are children starts the process of learning how to best manage one's manage one's money．Future，future，future，that's all they talk about，but what about the present？What about our current desires，wants and needs？Wasn't our present once our future？
One day when I have enough money，I will buy myself a car．One day my luck will shine．One day I will have enough money to travel the world．Then，once we do earn enough money from saving，tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones．
However，is it wise to keep living for that future？Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s？What will be the use of those professional cameras when pains take over our joints and our mind grows dull？Will our liver be able too handle the meat and alcohol in our advanced age？What if our life ends suddenly？How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future？
I say enjoy the most comfort but also keep enough for your necessities，and stay happy with your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future．Beyond that，life is not in our control and we shouldn't worry about the unseen．Life is for the living，so live it wisely．

5．The following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological（地质学的）Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today．
Q：Why，after 600 years of no activity，did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt（喷发）in 1991？
A：Volcanoes（火山）each have their own eruption styles．This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years，but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year，and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years．
Q：So nothing caused it？
A：There's nothing out of the ordinary．If you were to take an ordinary calendar year，50to 75or 80volcanoes erupt around the world every year．There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest．That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that．
Q：What is"the ring of fire"？
A：If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world，there are somewhere between 500and 600 of them．There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean．It makes a ring where 60% of the world's volcanoes lie．
Q：Why such a concentration（集中）there？
A：That's based on a theory that the oceans and the continents（大陆） are like separate pieces．When they move，one might ride up over the other one．In this case，the Pacific Ocean goes under the continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma（熔岩）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring．

21．What kind of writing do you think this passage is？B
A．A text taken from a geography book．
B．An interview published in the press．
C．A conversation carried out in a film．
D．An oral test recorded as an example．
22．Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean？A
A．The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible．
B．The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere．
C．The oceans and the continents are separated from each other．
D．The earth's surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part．
23．Barbara Reynolds'main purpose here isD．
A．to show how dangerous volcanoes are to the world
B．to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruption
C．to warn the world of the existence of"the ring of fire"
D．to introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public
24．Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation？C
A．There are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger．
B．Volcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before．
C．Volcanoes are waiting to be better known．
D．Something must be done to protect the people near the ring of fire．
