Few people realize that it takes the army of volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson.I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA) in Alder woods,close to the Washington State border.It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers—approximately eighty—
to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week.There is a large barn to clean,and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill.Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily....The list is endless.
To prepare a horse for a ride,someone has to bring it in from outside,at times sinking into inches of black,sticky mud during the winter months.Usually,two volunteers groom (刷洗梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle.Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place.There,one volunteer leads the horse,and usually two walk alongside for safety,one on each side.Then the horse must be returned to the barn,unsaddled,cleaned and fed.
Yet so many people willingly give their time—because the children need us.Ranging in age from two upwards,the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities.Some have severe physical disabilities.Riding strengthens their muscles and bones,enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.
Throughout my past life as an accountant,business author and speaker,I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations.However,a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head—causing severe brain injury.It was hard to accept a new “me” and her often-frustrating limitations,until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for.I’d loved horses from childhood,and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around,making me warm from the inside out.The journey back has been painful but worthwhile.Now,fourteen years later,I am a different,more simplified person.
4.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully.
B.Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits.
C.Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson.
D.Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way.
5.What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA?
A.Risky and thrilling.
B.Tiring but worthwhile.
C.Funny and enjoyable.
D.Demanding but fruitless.
6.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A.The accident transformed her thoroughly.
B.Volunteering has brought her a win-win result.
C.She’s never recovered from the injury.
D.She wasn’t interested in voluntary work before.
7.What could be the best title for the passage?

B.Surviving the Brain Injury
C.Volunteering:A Journey Back
D.Horse-riding:Toughest Lessons

Rescue workers found a family in their RV(野营车)on Tuesday after 17 days in the mountains near the Oregon Coast.
Peter Stivers,Marlo Hill-Stivers,their two children Sabastyan 9 and Gabrayell 8 and Hill-Stivers’s mother and stepfather,Elbert and Becky,were in the vehicle.On their way home from a trip to the coast,the family got lost in the mountains at an elevation of about 3,800 feet.What’s worse,they were trapped in four feet of snow.
“We had fuel and food,but we were running short,” said Elbert.“We were rationing(定量配给).”
When the family was reported missing,rescue teams from Oregon and California searched likely routes to the coast.But with no leads and no idea where the family was heading,those conducting the unsuccessful search eventually called it off.
In the evenings,Sabastyan and Gabrayell entertained the adults by reading jokes from Reader’s Digest aloud.The family members survived mostly on dehydrated(脱水的)food.
On Monday,Hill-Stivers and her husband decided to go for help.They packed a tent,wool blankets,tuna,honey,and hand warmers to take into the wilderness with them.The children stayed safe in the RV with their grandparents.
The couple was found the following day by a US Bureau of Land Management worker.A rescue team in a helicopter located the rest of the family.The family was driven out of the snowbound area on snow machines.Parents and children were happily reunited.
“They enjoyed it,” Peter said of his children’s experience.“They didn’t know we were in trouble.” For the adults,it was quite an ordeal(严酷的考验).They had to worry about survival and rescue,and about keeping everyone calm.“I’m so proud of my family,” said Elbert.“They stuck together;they didn’t lose it.”

As new technology is introduced,there are many who worry about its influence on our current and future lifestyles—particularly when it comes to jobs.It is a current belief that with the rise of automation and artificial intelligence (AI),many people’s jobs,and therefore their livelihoods,are likely to be lost.
Automation in the workplace is nothing new.Machines have been performing dull tasks on our behalf for years,allowing us to escape many repetitive jobs.A recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute states that nearly two thirds of all jobs could have at least 30% of their activities automated by 2030.However,McKinsey also believes that this new technology will also create new occupations that do not exist today,much as technologies in the past have done.As the horse gave way to the car,hostlers(马夫)became mechanics and mechanised fields drove up wages and created more long-term roles than it destroyed.
“It’s an evolution of work,” says Ian Barkin,a robotic process automation specialist.As low-skilled jobs are taken on by AI,people will need to learn new skills.“This calls on us to focus on upskilling.Technology can lead to job reductions but it doesn’t have to,” says Barkin.
Whether or not robots and AI will leave us all jobless remains to be seen.Current views on the subject are mixed.Increased automation could indeed lead to a loss of some jobs,but at the same time is likely to create many more as new skills are required.Will they balance out?
12.How do many people feel about the influence of AI?
A.Quite delighted. B.Quite surprised.
C.A sense of fear. D.A sense of pride.
13.What might be McKinsey’s attitude to the rise of automation?
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Critical. D.Approving.
14.What does the underlined word “upskilling” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Taking risks.
B.Improving ourselves.
C.Adapting to the world.
D.Thinking positively.
15.Which can best express the author’s view on automation?
A.Every coin has two sides.
B.Where there is life,there is hope.
C.It’s better to do well than to say well.
D.A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
