    My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

    Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

    When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

    1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

    A. He got an older model than he had expected.

    B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

    C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

    D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

    2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?

    A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels

    C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies

    3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

    A. By shaking and hitting it. B. By turning it on and off.

    C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.

    4.How does the author sound when telling the story?

    A. Curious B. Anxious

    C. Cautious D. Humorous

    Have you ever considered volunteering? It gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel a sense of pride that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. But how to volunteer? Follow the three steps before you enjoy it.

    Pick an organization. 1. You’re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a cause you care about. For example, if you’re interested in animal welfare, maybe you want to volunteer at an animal shelter. Much like job search sites, you can also use volunteer websites like Volunteer Match or Serve.gov to help you find volunteer opportunities in your area. If you still can’t narrow down where you want to volunteer, start asking people you know where they volunteer. 2.

    Be clear what you can offer. First identify your skills. For example, maybe you could write brochures for local nonprofits if writing is your style. 3. You need to be sure how much time you can give to an organization based on your other commitments. If you try to do too much, you ‘re more likely to give up.

    4. Treat the application like a job. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would for a job interview. 5. Ask what’s expected of volunteers. For instance, volunteers at a museum may be expected to learn parts of the galleries to give tours. Start volunteering slowly. That is, it’s better to commit to just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at the organization.

    A.Apply and get started.

    B.Volunteer in person or online.

    C.Then don’t forget to review your weekly schedule.

    D.You’d better focus on the causes you like very much.

    E.You may find one of them has the perfect opportunity for you.

    F.It is also a time for you to assess whether the organization is fit for you.

    G.First find an organization that’s a good fit for you, and then decide what you have to offer.

    3．Until recently，scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor．But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites．Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans．The map is expected to help oceanographers （海洋学家），industry and governments．
    The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago．David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the University of California．He and other scientists worked on the mapping project．He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean．
    The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites．Some of the data came from the European Space Agency's Cryo-2 satellite．It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice．The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason-1．It is studying the surface of the oceans．Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar （声波定位仪） equipment on ships．Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water．When the sound waves hit an object，its presence is confirmed．
    The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before．It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart．It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago．They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor．
    David Sandwell says the map is a powerful tool for fisheries，those interested in protecting the environment and for oil exploration．
    "The petrol exploration industry is interested in how to reconnect the continents，bring them back together tectonically so you can map the basins on one continental edge-say，Africa-and use that to establish where the similar basin would be on the other continental edge in South America．"
    If scientists know that information，they may be able to find oil fields．The new data also will help scientists improve their estimates of ocean depths．This information can help ships travel safely and improve military operations and scientific projects worldwide．
    Mr．Sandwell thinks scientists will make many more discoveries as they examine the new map and the information it provides．

    32．Which one is not mentioned about the benefits brought by the new map？C
    A．Fisheries．
    B．Scientific projects．
    C．Ship manufacture．
    D．Oil exploration．
    33．What can we know about the new map？B
    A．It shows where earthquakes will happen．
    B．It will be helpful to industry and governments．
    C．It is three times as detailed as the old one years ago．
    D．It shows the sea floor as it has ever been seen before．
    34．The text is likely to appear inC．
    A．a newspaper    
    B．an advertisement
    C．a science magazine    
    D．a finance report
    35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？D
    A．The detailed picture of the oceans
    B．Underwater mountains and places
    C．More discoveries about the oceans
    D．Scientists create new maps of ocean floor．
