good people that want to volunteer at one of our many Pittsburgh area locations.

Nationwide, we currently have more than 3,700 coaches signed up with The First Tee as well

Tee Coach Program, we provide the training you need.

program focuses on making participants stronger and more confident through decision-making
and exploring options, inspiring the golfers of tomorrow to look to the future, set goals, and
unlock their potential.
We also need more volunteers to make The First Tee possible. Opportunities include:
Assistant Coach: assist in our weekly golf clinics. All that we request is that you make a
7-week commitment (one day per week), for 2 hours each week. Each clinic is led by one of our
trained staff members who creates a written lesson plan for our volunteers to follow.
Database Manager: input data entry of participants, volunteers, and community relation
records and update chapter information for Home Office and community relations. The database
manager is expected to update the data a minimum of every other week.
Equipment Manager: organize and sort donated equipment, get rid of unfit equipment, and
arrange equipment for distribution to participants at least once a week.
Greeter: register participants, hand information to parents, greet visitors, answer phone and
provide general program information.

Most heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies.
They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman
is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a
cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a
website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index,
a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The
bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.
Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him—
supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got
two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can
imagine what the thief did.
After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable
bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he
has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle
police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in
which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike
Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen
during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called
“Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman”
seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the
main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.
24. Bike Batman is _____.
A. a superhero B. a website manager C. a Seattle citizen D. a police officer
25. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _____.
A. contact the owner of the stolen bike B. look up the bike’s information
C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief
26. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to _____.
A. become famous B. help poor people
C. punish bike thieves D. build a friendly city
27. From the passage, we can learn that _____
A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested
B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident
C. the police failed to perform their duties
D. the thieves refused to return the bikes
C
Dear Sir,
There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate（住宅区）,
on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my
concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a
supermarket—I just think that as a community（社区） we need to weigh up the advantages and
disadvantages before committing ourselves.
It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very
few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have. But the people who want to
build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isn’t a must
because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people? What
about young people who don’t have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their
homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?
On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice
of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much-needed
jobs for younger people in the town—and this is a good point. What we need to do is consider the
effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me, will
find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traffic. In a few years
from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night,
and not only that—we will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth
such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.
I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an
open-minded way—and I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair
discussion of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to
everyone’s view. Is that too much to ask?
Yours faithfully,
Tom Watkins
28. The supporters of the supermarket probably think _____.
A. the library is no longer needed
B. the library is too poor to be rebuilt
C. the supermarket brings down goods price
D. supermarket increases local workers’ income
29. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Shopping convenience. B. Job opportunity. C. Life quality. D. Traffic
condition.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward the plan?
A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Confident.
31. Why is the letter written?
A. To promote effective public reading.
B. To call for concern over an urban project.
C. To discuss ways of improving life quality.
D. To express dissatisfaction with public equipment.
D
You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work work work
work” in your head. And that o ne line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” still makes you want to
scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play
in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a
weekly basis.
Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them anno ying or
even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says
Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm
songs.
Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing,
they tend to be small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve heard recently
also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.
But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your
head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked li ke
Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and
she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though
she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s
trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she
says.
Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon.
She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of
being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far,
the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery.
But there are some well-established w ays to cast off the earworm songs.
“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away
from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their
full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.
Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’re singing
along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking
with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.
You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck
in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.
32. Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?
A. A song made up of simple words.
B. A song heard frequently these days.
C. A song sung by a most famous singer.
D. A song learned during one’s childhood.
33. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Type. B. Tune. C. Cause. D. Characteristic.
34. We can infer that earworm songs may _______.
A. result from modern technology
B. be experienced over meals
C. help regain lost memories
D. hurt one’s hearing
35. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?
A. Why we hear earworm songs.
B. Where to find earworm songs.
C. When we hear earworm songs. [来源:学*科*网]
D. How to get over earworm songs.

My brother Gene was four years older than me. By the time I turned four, I was upset that he
could read but I couldn’t. I burned with 41 to read a book like my brother. I begged: “Teach
me to read, Mom! Please, please?!” Finally, Mom set aside time after lunch 42 reading
lessons, and soon after my fifth birthday, I was reading.
I longed for my father, who was a great storyteller, to read me the books that I couldn’t yet
read on my own. But my father worked three jobs to feed the family. He didn’t have the time or
43 in the evening to read to me. 44 , every Sunday morning, my brother and I lay next to
him in bed, waiting for him to tell stories about his 45 . I can still hear my father’s voice
46 the cold winters on the family farm in Poland. His family didn’t have enough money to burn
wood in the fireplace all night. He told us that he always volunteered to help with 47 . I can
smell the soup made by my grandma and 48 my father cutting onions, carrots and tomatoes
for salad, and when no one was looking, putting a piece into his mouth. “I was always 49 ,”
he explained. Hearing my father’s stories 50 me closer to the books and the stories they
held.
One Saturday afternoon when I was seven, we walked two blocks to the small 51 in
our neighborhood, and my dad filled out forms for a card. That Saturday 52 my life: I met
Mrs. Schwartz, the librarian, and my dad said, “You’re 53 enough to walk to the library
yourself.” And so I did—almost every afternoon.
In my mind, Mrs. Schwartz was “the keeper of books and the guardian of stories.” Some days
she read aloud to a small group of us 54 . Most of time, Mrs. Schwartz let me 55
myself with books I pulled from the shelves and look through them to see which ones I’d 56
out. I remember that sometimes she’d 57 a book and tell me a part of the story. But she
always let me choose. Books became my 58 who were my comfort when I felt lonely.
Yes, reading changed me. It gave me the 59 to study hard so I could become a teacher,
and share my 60 of reading with my students. And inside my head, I can still hear the voices
of my mother, father, and Mrs. Schwartz, which are with me every time I open the first page of a
new book.
