Want to live and learn on organic farms worldwide? Want to share your life with
other like-minded people?
Traveling around the world and working the land are the principles behind
WWOOF-World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.Amanda Pearson,
administrator of WWOOF, tells us more about the life-changing influence a WWOOF
experience can have for all involved.
1. What is your organization's mission?
WWOOF is a worldwide movement linking volunteers with organic farmers and
growers to promote cultural and educational experiences based on trust and non-
monetary（非货币的）exchange, thereby helping to build a sustainable, global
community. WWOOF is an exchange-WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and
learning opportunities to people who are interested in helping out.
2. What makes you guys different from the rest?
We were first! When Sue Coppard founded WWOOF in 1971, the concept of non-
monetary exchange was very new.A number of organizations offer similar deals these
days-but we are the only one that specializes in organic growing and farming-and the
only one with people on the ground in each of the countries where we have members.
3. How can people get involved?
You can join WWOOF as a volunteer or a host. Volunteers need to think about
where in the world they would like to WWOOF (we encourage local WWOOFing in
particular) and join the relevant national WWOOF group.A one-year membership of
around US$ 40 gives you unlimited access to our list of hosts in a particular country.
Then, the rest is up to you. WWOOFing is very flexible and suits the independent
traveler. For more information and to start an amazing adventure, check out http:／／
wwoof:．net／#wwoof．
Anyone who has some land on which they produce food following organic
principles and who wants some help can become a host. You need to register with
WWOOF in the country in which your land can be found.
21. What should WWOOF hosts provide for volunteers?
A. Nutritious breakfast and a big office.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his family immigrated to New York, America, from
Dublin, Ireland, in 1848 when he was just six months old. As he grew up, Augustus
liked racing his friends around the block, buying candies at the store, especially
drawing-drawing pictures of the shoemakers at his father's shoe shop. At the age of
13, his father told him it was time to go to work. Augustus replied, "I should like it if I
could do something which would help me to be an artist. " He began as an apprentice to
a cameo cutter out of stone and shell, and carved cameos of people, lions, and even the
head of Hercules from Greek mythology, when the Civil War had just begun.
At 19, with his earnings and his parents' support, he travelled to Paris and Rome
for further training and artistic study. Before he left, he drew a portrait of his mother
in pencil and sculpted a small bust(半身像) of his father out of clay. Then, 22-year-old
Augustus opened an art studio in Rome and worked on his first life-sized sculpture,
called Hiawatha. An art patron was impressed with this sculpture and promised to help
Augustus "until your genius and labors shall have met with the reward to which I feel
they are entitled".
In 1876, Augustus was chosen to design a monument to the Civil War hero Admiral
David Farragut of the U. S. Navy. Completed five years later, when he was 33, his
first major sculpture for the U. S. was unveiled at Madison Square in New York City,
the sculptor's boyhood home. One art critic called it "the best monument of the kind
the city has to show". Then the giant Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago in a
setting by architect White, 1884-1887, was considered the finest portrait statue in the
U. S.
However, in 1900, aged 52, his doctors told him he had cancer. Even though he
was often ill, he continued to work at his home and studio in Cornish, New Hampshire.
In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt requested that Augustus redesign American
coins-to convey the strength of the nation. Augustus made lifelike pencil sketches of
his coin designs. Yet, Augustus died in August 1907, two months before his l0-dollar
and 20-dollar gold coins were issued. Augustus Saint-Gaudens had fulfilled his dream-
and more! He was one of the greatest American sculptors not only of his day but also of
all time.
24. What did Augustus like doing as a child?
A. He enjoyed selling candies at the store.
B. He enjoyed chasing after his friends at school.
C. He liked drawing pictures of his father's workers.
D. He liked going to work as a shoemaker in his father's shop.
25. How did Augustus become a sculptor?
A. He received sponsorship from an art critic.
B. He sculpted a small bust of his parents out of clay.
C. He opened an art studio in Rome and worked on Hiawatha.
D. He learned hard as an apprentice and carved many nice works.
26.When did Roosevelt request Augustus to redesign American coins?
A. At his age of 33. B. At his age of 57.
C. At his age of 52. D. At his age of 59.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of the Civil War.
B. The remarkable sculptor's life.
C. The comments on Augustus' works.

Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood.
There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell
untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also
a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their
children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to
lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main
reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and
acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to
avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making
up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to
meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of
the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home.
The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying
causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological(病态的)
lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals
who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up
stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of
other people who they want to please. These patients deceive other people because it
gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars
is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them,
but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more
accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false
stories.
28. The underlined word "reprimand" in Paragraph l means " ".
A. scold B. fine C. praise D. disappoint
29. What's the major reason for teenagers' lying behavior?
A. Protecting themselves. B. Pleasing themselves.
C. Avoiding embarrassment. D. Becoming popular.
30. Pathological lying is a disease because the patients .
A. lose interest in everything
B. are critical about themselves
C. can't help lying all the time
D. have the urge to please others
31. The writer addresses pathological lying by analyzing _ .
A. some typical cases
B. its causes and development
C. its unexplained pleasure
D. the difficulty of its treatment

Sea turtles are one of several species that have temperature-dependent sex
determination. The number of female babies increases when nests are made in warmer
sands.
A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
California State University and Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia examined two
genetically distinct populations of green sea turtles living in the Great Barrier Reef. The
study found that a group of about 200,000 turtles living in the northern part of the reef
was almost entirely female.
While the southern population was 65 t0 69 percent female, females in the
northern group accounted for 99.1 percent of young turtles and 86.8 percent of adults.
After combining their results with temperature data, the scientists in charge of the
study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for
more than two decades and that the complete feminization(雌性化) of this population is
possible in the near future.
The temperature at which the turtles will produce male or female babies can be
passed on to the turtles' children. Most sea turtle populations are now producing
offspring above the most suitable temperature, making it clear that climate change
poses a serious threat to the survival of these populations.
The chief executive of World Wildlife Fund Australia, Dermot O'Gorman, said
this is another sign of the impact of climate change, following recent research that
shows that coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) events are occurring far more frequently than in
the past.
"We’ve had two years where we've had mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier
Reef," he told Guardian Australia. "That's a very visible sign of the impact of climate
change. But this is a quiet change. We can't see the impact it's having on a turtle
population until a study like this shows some long-term trends.”
The lead author of the paper, Dr Michael Jensen, said the findings represent a
major environmental conservation issue.
O'Gorman said more urgent action on climate change is clearly needed, adding that
some conservationists have already taken practical measures, such as using shade cloth
on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature, and reducing bycatch in the
fishing industry.
¨Shade cloth can be used in certain places, but there's a limit to the scale you can
do that," he said.
“Now every large male who can reproduce is going to be even more important.”
32.According to the research on Great Barrier Reef's green sea turtles,____.
A. about 65 t0 69 percent of northern turtles are female
B. 86.8 percent of southern turtles have grown up to adults
