• 2．    For twelve years，my church has participated in the Appalachia Service Project.One week each summer，volunteers go to repair or build homes for families.
     At the age of sixteen，I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia.On the night we arrived，we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer （活動(dòng)房屋） that was in poor condition.The staff soon decided that the only reasonable solution was to build a new house. "Our family" was overjoyed with their new house that was 20 x30 foot with three bedrooms，a bath and a kitchen/family room.
     On Tuesday of that week，I asked "our family's" three boys，Josh，Eric and Ryan， "What do you want for your new room？" Josh，the oldest，responded， "I just want a bed."
     We were stunned.The boys had never slept in a bed.They were used to foam pads （泡沫墊）.That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift.On Thursday night，we drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
     On Friday，when we saw the delivery truck coming，we told "our family" about the surprise.It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.That afternoon，we set up the beds.As we fitted the frames together，Eric ran into the house to watch us.He observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm.As Meggan，a member of our group，slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows，Eric asked， "What is that？"
     "A pillow，" she replied，
     "What do you do with it？" Eric persisted.
     "When you go to sleep，you put your head on it，" Meggan answered softly.Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
     "Oh...that's soft，" he said，hugging it tightly.

• 3．    Eating chocolate every day as part of your job sounds unreal，but it is a reality for chocolate tasters across the world.However，the job is full of challenges.Chocolate tasters work under pressure.If you are a chocolate lover and have thought about trying to be a chocolate taster in the future，you may want to think twice before you make the decision.
     Chocolate tasting may involve lots of traveling.If you work for a chocolate seller，you will visit factories and attend chocolate tasting events to try new flavors （味道）.If you work for a producer，you will visit raw （未經(jīng)加工的） material suppliers to check on the quality of the raw products and to test different ingredients.Traveling will separate you from your friends and loved ones for long periods of time，which can create an emotional distance.Long trips may leave you feeling empty and lonely，which can affect the quality of your life.
     Chocolate tasting requires that you take a lot of sugar and calories into your body，which can do harm to your health.Chocolate is also rich in saturated fats （飽和脂肪） and lacks vital vitamins and minerals that our bodies require daily.A career in chocolate tasting demands that you watch your diet；thus，you may have to limit or give up your intake of other calorie-rich foods.A chocolate taster who doesn't take good care of his personal health can develop diseases such as diabetes，tooth cavities，and so on.
     Chocolate tasters must love chocolate and have a broad understanding of various chocolate flavors.While tasting，you are to take a bite and chew it for a few seconds，letting it slowly melt in your mouth and spread to all parts of your tongue to evaluate （評(píng)價(jià)） its flavors.You must pay attention to details and learn to identify flavors and quality quickly.You also have to taste some kinds of chocolate that you may not like.Besides，understanding customer preferences is very important.You will spend time studying customer-based research findings to try to determine the flavors that will meet their demands.

• 4．    The mystery of how groups of fire ants survive floods has puzzled biologists for many years.But now scientists have worked out how the ants stick together in order to build a kind of raft （筏） that helps them to float easily for days.
     The fire ant lives in the rainforests of Brazil，where heavy rainfall can cause flooding twice daily.In order to stick together as a colony （群體） during these floods，the fire ants hook （鉤） their legs and mouths together to create a living and breathing material that floats for hours，or even weeks，if necessary，until floods go down.
     These so-called fire-ant rafts contain nearly 200 bodies per square inch；they can grow to be as large as garbage bin lids （蓋） in the case of large colonies，but more often，they grow to the size of small plates.The ants gather themselves quickly in response to an emergency，and can organize thousands of bodies in less than two minutes，according to study researcher David Hu. "They are all acting together，and there are so many of them that they are really becoming a single material." said Professor Hu.
     They found that living fire ants within a raft always changed their positions in response to forces，such as the push of a stick or a drop of rain in nature. "This responsiveness allows the fire ants to deal with small rocks or bursts of waves while floating." Hu said.
     The raft is also self-healing，so that if one ant is removed from the raft，others move in to fill the space.
  When in danger of drowning，a colony of the tiny creatures-thousands of them-will save themselves by joining forces and forming a raft.Though insects do insect things，we human beings could learn a thing or two about teamwork from the awesome fire ant.
  
  （1）What is the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．Tiny creatures can survive disasters.
  B．Fire ants work together to survive floods.
  C．Teamwork is important for human.
  D．Rafts help fire ants live in nature.
  （2）How can the fire ants stick together？

  
  A．By joining a colony.
  B．By floating for a long time.
  C．By hooking parts of their bodies.
  D．By living and breathing together.
  （3）What can we know about the fire-ant rafts？

  
  A．They can be formed in a short time.
  B．They are usually the size of garbage bin lids.
  C．They will be separated in case of forces.
  D．They move to some spaces when in danger.
  （4）Where is the passage most probably from？

  
  A．A news report.
  B．A brochure.
  C．A story book.
  D．A magazine.
