“Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment; she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city. 
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.  (303 words)

解析

试题分析： "我们谈谈"是一项免费的咨询项目，由32岁的Lisa Podell在今年 5 月创办的。通过倾听还提供真正的解决办法。作为一个全职老师和现在青少年的顾问，Lisa Podell认为谈论是决策过程中有很重要的作用。Lisa Podell说她想在整个纽约市的公共空间开展由志愿者参与的这项活动。简答题主要考查学生的定位能力，部分考查对题干意思的理解和对句子的加工表达能力。
小题1:根据第一段最后But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.再通过第三段开头Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May可知a woman就是Podell，故答案为：She was giving free advice.
小题2:根据people in need 和expect定位到and they expect her not only to listen, but also to provide real answers. 由于字数限制，这里需要将答案改为简单句：They expect her to listen and provide real answer.
小题3:根据making decision定位到Podell believes that talking things out is important in the decision-making process. 得出答案为：They should talk things out.
小题4:根据New York定位到尾段Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.由于字数限制可将从句合并到简单句中变成： She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers.　
小题5:Yes.　I can help people in need.
