【題目】 The most important thing to keep in mind when deciding to serve another is that service expects no rewards. When you expect something in return, and are not serving out of the goodness of your heart, others will notice. Sure they’ll thank you. 【1】

When you give from your heart, the real power of service comes into play. Serving is a great opportunity to strengthen your trust and respect for another, and for them to do the same to you. Not only do you feel great about helping out, but you build your relationship with them, and they will feel more willing to help you in the future. 【2】

However, why is service so rarely seen these days? 【3】 Sure, living in this day and age does not leave us much time, and the last thing people want to do is more work. I'm too busy, there's too much work, or I don't have the time, ” may run through your head when you hear the word service, but the truth is the benefits are worth the sacrifice. Gandhi once said that, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. ” 【4】 Some ideas of places you can serve are volunteer centers, nursing homes, boys and girls clubs, and so on. You can serve people as long as you want to.

【5】 Although it does take some work, the benefits are more than worth the sacrifice. Not only do you feel better about making another's day a little less stressful, but you strengthen your relationship with them and they will be more willing to help you in the future.

A. It's a win-win situation.

B. Service is simple.

C. Overall, service and selflessly giving to others is very powerful and has many benefits.

D. And they will offer you worse service.

E. Service is a complex event.

F. The problem is, there's always an excuse not to serve.

G. But the service becomes more of a situation, “I’ll do this for you if you do this for me”.

【題目】The Metro-Boston public bike share system, Hubway, is now available at a significant discount to low-income people. "SNAP Card to Ride" was started by the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and the Town Of Brookline.

“SNAP Card to Ride”provides $5 monthly memberships and $50 annual memberships to people over the age of 16 with their household EBT (電子福利轉(zhuǎn)賬) card. The membership includes unlimited 60-minute trips, rather than the present 30-minute trips, without additional fees.

The program is part of an ongoing commitment to improving bike share access among traditionally underserved populations. Those who don't receive SNAP benefits but participate in other public assistance programs will be able to gain access to the discounted membership program in the near future.

Convenient, easy online registration (注冊) is available for EBT card holders at thehubwav.com/SNAP/. After completing registration, members will have access to over 1,800 bikes at 194'stations across the four municipalities (自治市).

“The city of Boston is pleased to be part of the SNAP Card to Ride partnership, and we look forward to increasing the number of stations and bikes in Boston over the next 18 months,”said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

“Hubway shows that bike share is fulfilling its promise as a vital part of the Boston area's transportation network -- increasing access to the area's existing transportation network as well as areas underserved by public transportation,”said Jay H. Walder, CEO of Hubway.“We're eager to continue to help grow a system that has truly served as an inspiration for a whole generation of bike share programs across the nation.”

Winter riding is available in all four municipalities for the first time this year, following several years of winter operations in the city of Cambridge. Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville announced major expansion of the publicly-owned system. In all they'll add over 100 new stations in 2018 and 2019, providing over 300 stations and approximately 3,000 bicycles for public use.

【題目】 Though sometimes we may lose our ability to do something we love, passions don’t have to end. Suzelle Poole of Dallas, Texas is living proof of that. The 79-year-old has been dancing for more than seven decades.

Suzelle started ballet when she was just 7 years old, and her devotion only grew stronger as her talent increased in the following years. In fact, Suzelle was so talented that she went to perform all around the world! Like most professional ballerinas (芭蕾舞女），Suzelle expected a short-lived career. “When I was about 26,1 knew I only had a few years left,”she said. It’s simply the nature of the art form because the movements are so hard on people’s bodies. But Suzelle’s body didn’t wear out at 26 — or even 56! At one point, she broke her arm but she was dancing again by the following week.

Nowadays she focuses on teaching the next generation of ballerinas at the Royale Ballet Dance Academy, where she and her students regularly perform for senior residents in assisted living facilities.

Suzelle has become such an inspiration that CBS News reporter Steve Hartman and his 5-year-old daughter Meryl recently traveled to Dallas to interview her. Steve’s little girl couldn’t wait to meet and dance with the woman she wants to become.

During the interview, Suzelle shared a piece of wisdom: “Ballet helps everything,” she said. “If you’re not feeling very well, you go to a ballet class, and you feel better after.” Meryl nodded knowingly. She also added, “Ballet could always cheer me up whenever I feel depressed.”

It’s no wonder Suzelle has no plans to hang up her pointed shoes. Why would she give up something that brings her so much joy?

【1】Why did Suzelle at her 26 think her career would end soon?

A.The nature of the body didn’t allow lasting performance.

B.The audience didn’t like her performance.

C.She injured her arm in a training course.

D.She had to look after her family.

【2】Why did Steve Hartman take his daughter Meryl to meet Suzelle?

A.To help Meryl with her problems.

B.To make Meryl experience a reporter’s work.

C.To inspire Meryl to pursue her dancing dream.

D.To realise Meryl’s dream of dancing with famous people.

【3】In Suzelle’s opinion, ballet dance ___________.

A.benefits people’s mental health

B.should be taught at primary school

C.is less attractive to the young

D.raises people’s interest in art

【4】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Suzelle will go to find other joy of life.

B.Suzelle will carry on her ballet career.

C.Suzelle will put away her ballet shoes.

D.Suzelle will devote herself to art teaching.
