It would be impossible to describe the awful smells of her house. The health department came and shut down an illegal puppy mill (幼犬繁育场) in the house a few years ago.The house was sold for a rather high price because of the good location of the neighborhood. My husband and I looked into the house at that time and were upset by the scene: black mold (霉菌) growing on the walls; cigarette ends all over the floor; the wall between the garage and the living room completely destroyed by water damage. We couldnt spend more than one second in the house before running away.We thought that it would be a teardown, but the new owners set about cleaning the inside. They worked for months making it safe and livable. After everything was clean and tidy, the owners decided to resell the house for a higher price.Yesterday while I was out in my yard, a potential (潜在的) buyer pulled up and asked me what I could tell her about the history of the house. I just said that I didnt know anything. What is my ethical obligation (道德义务) in this situation? Its possible that they have removed all the awful smells, dangerous mold and that the house is safe and livable. But its also possible that they have just structurally fixed the house and that some unsafe mold will take root in the future. I wouldnt personally live there knowing what I know. But really, its none of my business, and given the choice, I wouldnt talk to anyone about what I know. While it feels like a lie not to answer a direct question, I also feel that its not my place to potentially ruin the sellers business deal. If I am asked again, what should I say?24.

Yet her time in New York met with a season of never-ending ugliness in politics and acts of terrorism (恐怖主义) around the world. “One day you laugh, and then youre angry,” said Tulic. As she walked toward the subway station, she thought,“I want to see something nice. Enough of this craziness.”At the City Hall station, she saw a man resting against a pillar (柱子), the way anyone might, waiting for the train. The stillness was interrupted (打断) by an announcement that the next train was two stations away. Then Tulic saw the man at the pillar falling forward onto the tracks.The man who had fallen was not moving. In what seemed like an instant, three men jumped down to help.“I dont know where these men got the intelligence and the quickness,”Tulic said.“ The man who fell was about six feet tall and quite heavy.

Will they succeed in pulling him out?”On the tracks, the unconscious man was put into a sitting position by the three men, who then lifted him from below to others who lifted from above and rolled him onto the platform. Then the rescuers were themselves rescued, pulled back to safety by helping hands. As soon as they were all clear, the train pulled in. People getting off the train walked around this unconscious man.Two of the men who had jumped onto the platform were holding his hands. “They were saying,Youre going to be fine,” Tulic said. “This was an additional layer of goodness.”Doctors arrived, and the man was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.“That is the greatest thing,”Tulic said. “The infrastructure (基础) in this city of millions is thepeople themselves providing, being there for others, without even knowing the person, who he is. It was beautiful to see.”28. What was Tulics time in New York like?A. Carefree. B. Spiritless.C. Unpeaceful. D. Comfortable.29. How must Tulic have felt when watching the men saving the fallen man?A.

Race to save a man on tracksDThe Speaker was the title of an eight-part television series. It was produced by the BBC in the UK. The aim of the series was to find Britains best young speaker. Young people between the ages of 14 and 18 from across the country were invited to take part in The Speaker. Applicants included tough-talking teens, jokers, and shy, sensitive types. The one thing they had in common was a desire (渴望) to talk publicly and enthusiastically about what was important to them.Each applicant was asked to prepare and film a one-minute speech on any subject from pop music to politics, from hooligans (小流氓) to homework. From all the entries received, 160 speakers were chosen by three judges. These speakers were invited to the next stage of regional auditions (海选), wher they had to deliver their one-minute speech again, but this time in front of the judging panel (评审团) and an audience. Of the 160 speakers, only 20 were chosen by the judges to go through to the next stage. They then had to give another speech on a subject they were given only seconds before making the speech. Some competitors also had to speak about a picture, again without any preparation.The final eight were then coached by celebrity mentors (指导老师) and given new challenges to help improve their speaking skills. Their speeches were judged by the judges and their mentor. By the last part in the series, which was shown at the end of April 2009, only three competitors remained. They were taken on a research trip to Malawi, where they found out first hand the effects of childrens rights, ahead of their final speech. Duncan Harrison, a 14-year-old schoolboy from Bristol was chosen as the winner by the judges and mentors.When asked what makes a good speaker, the actor, director and teacher, Jeremy Stockwell, who was one of the judges on the series, said, “An effective speaker must know and trust who they are, what they have to say, and why they have to say it. Whether youre playing Hamlet, delivering a political message or presenting a school meeting, you must have a story to tell, a message to pass on and a clear sense of purpose.”32. What do we know about the applicants?A. They were teens worldwide.B. They were fond of playing jokes.C. They had great interest in social problems.D. They loved discussing what mattered to them.33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The topics of speeches.B. The requirements for each step.C. The ways of winning the competition.D. The standards of judging the speakers.34. What was the aim of the competitors Malawi trip?A. To film a video.B. To learn speaking skills.C. To study childrens rights.D. To deliver their final speech.35.
