generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable :A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers
here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked. A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Caf?
has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant
provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or took after the
buildings and equipment for the cafe.
"It"s based on trust, and it"s working all right" , says co-owner Brad Birky , who started the cafe in
2006. With his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the
often unhealthy meals they served there. "We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone
felt comfortable ,regardless of their circumstances," Birky says. SAME"s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers. The cafe now averages 65 to 70
customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be
spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said
goodbye to the Birkys," He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up," says
Birky. 68.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

| Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meals. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students. Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university. Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps,an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students,in advance of the introduction in September of ~3,000 higher education top-up fees. Their website says,"The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap(交换) family homes. "The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town/city could swap with those from a different town/city. The site describes itself as offering a" cost-free accommodation alternative...at a time of growing student debt". There is no charge for the service at the moment,but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ~10 annual fee if it becomes established. However,the National Union of Students ( NUS) has warned that,while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers,it lacks any formal regulation. Veronica King,NUS vice-president of welfare,said, " The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation. " Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years,in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree. "This is worrying,as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is,rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some-a key part of the student experience-living away from home. " | |||

| Dog training is a business for some people,a serious hobby for others,and aonce-in-a-lifetime experience for many. Individuals in all of these categories would probably agree that consistency (一贯 性) is a key element of success from the beginning. If puppies are to be socialized,they must learn to control the impulse to use the carpet as a bathroom,chew shoes,or nip at fingers. The first issue,bathroom training is more easily accomplished in warm weather. Try to feed your pup outdoors,and after he has finished eating, take him to a spot where you would like him to eliminate.If he cooperates,praise him generously with words and pats. Take him to the same spot after each meal,and eventually he will follow this routine himself. The sight of a small puppy chewing through a new tennis shoe will make you do well to remove the stolen shoe from the pup"s mouth and firmly say" No" . Provide your pup with some acceptable toys, such as a ball or a chew toy. Until your pup is well trained and trustworthy,don"t leave him unattended (无人看管的 ) unless he is limited to a small area. When he is young,you want to be sure someone will praise your pup or desired behavior and express disapproval when he does some- hing you want to discourage. You will want your dog to learn to respond to the commandsCome" , " Sit" ,and" Stay" . Again, consistency and praise will help you achieve this goal. Each time the dog responds as you wish, praise him. Whenever he ignores your commands,make him do what you commanded and then praise him. Negative behavior must be attended to also. You can discipline most dogs without hitting them. Since they are usually anxious to please,most dogs are duty-punished-by-cruel words and tone of voice. Remember to be consistent so your dog knows unquestioningly what is acceptable behavior. Although the first stages of dog training require a great deal of time and patience,the reward of a socialized and obedient dog is well worth the effort. | |||
| 1. Dog training is appropriately attempted by___. | |||
| A. professionals B. hobbyists C. zoologists D. anyone | |||
| 2. What is negative behavior best handled by? | |||
| A. A slap on the nose. B. Tying the dog up. C. A firm tone of voice. D. Starving the dog. | |||
| 3. The article deals with all of the following EXCEPT___. | |||
| A. chewing problems B. barking at strangers C. bathroom training D. responding to commands | |||
| 4. What might be the best title for this passage? | |||
| A. Tips on Training Your Dog. B. A Good Puppy. C. A six-Week Program to Train Your Dog. D. Leave Dog Training to the Professionals. | |||

| Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form-football, basketball,hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion ( strong emotion) for climbing high mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the differences between mountaineering and other forms of activities. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man- made rules as others ,such as golf and football. There are ,of course , rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to ignore,but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering at- tractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a" team game " . There are ,it is true , no " matches " between " teams" of climbers,but when climbers are on a rock linked by a rope on which their lives may depend,there is obviously teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past it by the age of thirty,but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountain in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men,but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort,and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. | |||
| 1. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage? | |||
| A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating. C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering. | |||
| 2. Mountaineering is a sport,not a game,because _____ . | |||
| A. it has man-made rules B. it is too dangerous for climbers C. it can"t bring people joy and leisure D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods | |||
| 3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? | |||
| A. Mountaineering is a match between climbers. B. Mountaineering is similar to other sports in many ways. C. Climbers work like a team when their lives may depend on a rope. D. Climbers help each other in time of difficulty. | |||
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that____. | |||
| A. mountaineering has no appeal to people B. physical quality is more important than mental quality for climbers C. a mountain climber would pass it by the age of thirty D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps |
