A
Volunteering abroad is great. Not only do you travel to an exotic country, you also meet
like-minded people, and at the end of it all you have something to put on your CV to impress
employers with．But did you ever stop to think about how great it is for the people on the receiving
end?
In this context, Daniela Papi has a point-foreigners rushing heroically to volunteer in a
country they’ve never heard of are unlikely to make a difference. But turning volunteering camps
into classrooms, as Papi seems to advocate in her article, risks throwing the baby out with the bath
water by putting people off of volunteering.
Rather, learning should be a natural part of the. experience, and the key to creating such an
environment is positioning everyone as equals. In order for that to happen, volunteers need
competent leaders who create an environment of equality:
When, a few years ago, I joined a group of international volunteers to help a small farming
community in the Swiss Alps, we were all quite ignorant about the local conditions. But thanks to
our group leader, it was both a helpful project for the locals and a fun and eye-opening experience
for us．Before we had even traveled (at our own expense) to the mountaintop village, our group
leader had spent time with the villagers preparing the project to make sure it would be of benefit to
them．She. arranged for us to help in different areas, ensuring that we always worked alongside locals rather than for them．It was never 'us' and 'them', but always. 'we', like a big family. As a result, conversation flowed and we learned a great deal just by casually talking to the locals as we worked． At the end, we left with a deep appreciation for the labor of love that goes into producing the food we eat every day一一an appreciation we could treasure ourselves and share with our peers．
Volunteering isn‘t about saving someone‘s life, or even about changing it. It‘s about touching a different world and reminding ourselves that there is much, much more to life than the daily routines we take for granted．With that knowledge, maybe, just maybe, we can go on to really change the world．
By Lukas Thibaut

Phantom vibrations-the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it‘s not-
have been around since the mobile age．Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted
studies to them．
For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows“The
cows’moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds like…errrrrr,”she says.“So that‘s very similar to what
my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.”
Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration
symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones
Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2012 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom
vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis．
“Something in your brain is being triggered（触发）that‘s different than what was triggered
just a few short years ago,” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how
technology affects our minds.
“If you‘d asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years. ago if I- felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I‘d reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing（神经元刺激），”he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it‘s an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information．
“we’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking
up their phone look like they have an obsession. They don‘t look much different from someone
who‘s constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it
could turn into one, very easily,' Rosen says.
While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling
bothered thern only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones
every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down
“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just
away from the technology for short periods,' Rosen says．'And by short periods．I mean; maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.”
61．According to the article, phantom vibrations_____．
A．are mainly caused by neurons firing
B．affect people mostly working on farms
C．help our brains better process information
D. started troubling people in recent years
62．The underlined word 'adamant' in the last paragraph probably means_____·
A ．curious B．determined C. satisfied D. cautious
63．It can be concluded from Larry Rosen‘s research that_____·
A. phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behavior
B ．the use of smartphones has completely changed the way our minds work
C. most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations
D. hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students
64．According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to_____．
A．move to a quieter neighborhood
B．stop using smartphones in poor condition
C. take a break from using smartphones occasionally
D. keep a close watch on your anxiety levels

you’re going. And who‘s in a hurry anyway? Slow down and see more of the country：explore little

B
In 2010, 700 million people huddled together in front of their television sets to watch the World Cup final between the Netherlands and Spain. Even more are expected to tune in to this year‘s contest, which kicks off on June 12th with a match between Brazil and Croatia in Sao Paulo. Brazil are the runaway favourites to win the tournament, with bookmakers offering odds of less than three to one on the home team winning the championship．Many experts agree that the country will benefit from a strong home advantage, as local crowds roar on the Seleqao．How much does playing on home turf fealty affect a team‘s performance?
Sports scientists have come up with all sorts of theories to explain why playing at home helps. In 2007 a study investigated the influence of crowd noise on referees in the English football Premier League. It showed that some were more likely to flash yellow cards and award penalties against touring players than the hosts, because they relied on the split-second rise in the home crowd‘s roar as a reminder to determine if a tackle deserved punishment. In the most recent season of the Spanish football Riga, two-thirds of all penalty kicks were awarded to the home team.
In the latest English football season, the top 20 clubs enjoyed a home success rate of 50%,
while their victory rate on the road was 32%. In 12 of the past 19 World Cups the host nation has
made it to the semi-finals and six times it has gone on to win. The effect can be seen in other sports too． A Before the start of the London Olympics in 2012, UK Sport, a government agency, studied the results of more than 100 big tournaments across 14 Olympic sports. B As it
turned out, Britain bettered its 2008 performance by winning 18 more medals（10 of them gold), an improvement of 38% . C At the Beijing games, China won 59% more medals than it had
done at the 2004 Athens games. D Russia topped the medal table in Sochi：in the previous
winter Olympics it had come sixth．
Given these numbers, it is not surprising that teams have poured money into maximizing their home advantage. For example, Brazil has spent a considerable fortune on, if somewhat leisurely, a programme of stadium construction and renovation. In all its home advantage is worth the equivalent of a 0.6-goal headstart in every match, according to Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. Like most others, Goldman predicts that Brazil will triumph this year. Other countries‘ fans will have to hope for a miracle-and perhaps bid to stage the Cup on their own home turf next time.
68．What does 'some' in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Crowd noises. B. Referees. C. Touring players. D. Host players.
69. Put the following sentence in the most appropriate place marked A, B, C, or D
It predicted that the London home advantage would boost Britain‘s medal haul by as much as
25％．
70. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Fans may raise their noise levels to cheer their teams up.
B．Brazil will win because of its strong ability.
C. It is a waste of time and effort for countries to hold sports games.
D. The visiting teams have a good chance of winning.

Socrates-an ancient Greek philosopher
Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher, who helped to shape Greek beliefs. The ideas he
created are present in our culture today.
Socrates was a person full of curiosity. From the time he was a young man, Socrates searched
for wisdom and truth. lie gained wisdom by asking questions. Many people in Athens thought that
they had answers. Socrates asked them questions and argued with them about different topics. He did not think they had the knowledge they claimed to have.
Socrates challenged false ideas people had about things like justice, love, or courage. tie would break down the ideas people held．Then he built new and more accurate ideas. Socrates felt that this was what philosophy was all about. Since then, many great philosophers have used this method to find truth．
Throughout his life, Socrates showed no interest in money. lie was also not interested in material items. Socrates would allow groups of men to listen to him speak. And he would never take money from them·Ile always wore the same clothes whatever the season·Socrates argued that his life was better because lie had no material wealth．He felt he enjoyed his food more. lie said he was stronger and healthier because lie was not affected by the weather. Ile believed happiness came not from having more but from wanting less.
By the end of the fifth century B.C，Athens was not a great city anymore. Politicians betrayed
Athens. Socrates had made many people angry over the years. He had always expressed his opinions when he thought laws and policies were wrong. Athens had a new group of political leaders in power, who didn‘t want to hear Socrates’comments about them. They thought Socrates had a bad influence on the young people of Athens. Socrates was also accused of not worshipping the right gods． Charges were brought against Socrates．The politicians wanted to condemn Socrates to death. Socrates’friends told him to leave Athens. They thought this was the only way for him to save his life. Socrates refused. He did not behave as most people in his situation would．Socrates said that he had always lived by the rules of Athens and he would continue to do this。He insisted on standing trial for his 'crime'·Socrates knew he was not guilty of anything. The reason why he was charged was because he was different from others. Although people respected him, he also had made many people angry, so the jury（陪审团）said Socrates was guilty.
When faced with the death penalty, a person could leave Athens forever. Most people chose to leave rather than die. Socrates was not like most people. Instead of telling the jury that he would go, he told them he deserved a reward. Socrates believed he had done a great service by making people think. Socrates said that he tried to 'persuade every one of you not to think of what he had but rather of what he was, and how he might grow wise and good.' The jury did not change its mind. Socrates was executed. He died when he drank hemlock, which is poisonous.
Socrates was the first great Greek philosopher. lie also helped to shape other philosophers that came after him. Plato, who got his start by studying with Socrates, and Aristotle, who studied with Plato, also changed Western civilization. Asking questions to discover the truth is still practiced today. And schools even today still teach this method to students.
