“Who made your T-shirt A Harvard University student raised that question. Piertra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer. A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton, to Chinese factory and to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book, The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.
Following a T-shirt around the world is a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step towards a better care for the people who work there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she realizes that, “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color. Rivoli’s book is full of memorable people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy sweet smell of the cotton,” she says. “Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like shallow water Texas.”
Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections. She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check. True economic progress needs them both.
24.What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?
A. She used to work on cotton farm. B. She wrote a book about world trade.
C. She wants to give up her teaching job. D. She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.
25.By saying T-shirt “meet a real market”, Rivoli means in Tanzania _______.
A. cheaper T-shirts are needed B. used T-shirts are hard to sell
C. prices of T-shirts rise and fall frequently D. prices of T-shirts are usually reasonable
26.What does the word “them” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Free markets. B. Price changes.
C. Unexpected connections. D. Chances opened up by trade.
27.What would be the best title for the text?
A. What T-shirts Can Do to Help Cotton Farms B. How T-shirts Are Made in Shanghai
C. How T-shirts Are Sold in Tanzania D. What T-shirts Can Teach Us

The Children’s Groundwater Festival, first organized by the Groundwater Foundation 19 years ago, is celebrated every year in Nebraska, a state of the central United States in the Great Plains. After organizing the festival for 16 years, the foundation passed the program on to the local community of Grand Island, Nebraska. The festival is an annual event for fourth and fifth graders of Nebraska. It is an interesting and energetic day filled with hands­on education. Water magic, folk singers and musicians, storytellers, and bird shows add to the happy atmosphere during the festival. There are also some educational activities:
Gooey Garbage: Children build a landfill (废物填埋场) and learn how a properly­built landfill can protect groundwater.
Water Races: Children learn about water pollution by racing a drop of water through a model.
Well in a Cup: By building a small aquifer (蓄水层) in a cup children learn about aquifers and drinking water wells.
Taster’s Choice: Children drink different types of water, from tap water to bottled water. Then they are taught about the treatment process of each type of water.
There’s No New Water: Students are taught to make a special glass container and learn about the water cycle.
The Children’s Groundwater Festival not only has a great influence on Nebraska’s people. So far, similar festivals have been held in nearly 40 American states, Mexico City, several provinces in Canada, and New Delhi, India. People everywhere are realizing the importance of educating young people to learn and care about groundwater.
For more information about this festival, remember to watch our program tomorrow evening. I’ll be waiting for you.

We all need a vacation, whether with the entire family or your significant other. Unfortunately, many of us will not be able to follow through with vacation plans. But now, there is an alternative that is catching on (流行起来) rather quickly and it is called a “Staycation”. A staycation is just what it sounds like, a vacation but you stay at home. It might not sound interesting, but you can turn it into a fun and relaxing get away.
Tell family and friends your plans. In their eyes you are truly on vacation and they only need to contact you in case of an emergency.
Go outside; don’t let the kids sleep all day. Go out and bird watch, go fishing, explore the parks and nature, take in all you can of the outside world. You can even have a relaxing day at the beach, soak in some sun, and let the kids go swimming.
Go on a picnic; have the kids fly kites. Bring some bubbles, and have a nice day with the wind blowing in your hair. Watch as the kids run and play and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Camping is another fun way to have a staycation. If you have a camping ground in your area, you can go camping for a day or two and show the kids how it is to live right in the heart of Mother Nature.
Just remember, it really doesn’t matter where you decide to go, whether home or away. As long as you create quality time with your family you can strengthen the bonds that may have been pushed aside during all the long stressful work hours. Time is the most important thing you can give to your husband, wife and kids, enjoying every moment together, and you will have lasting memories in your hearts.
32. What is mainly talked about in the passage? __________
A. The popularity of a staycation. B. The importance of a vacation.
C. Where to spend your vacation this year. D. How to plan a staycation.
33. You should tell family and friends your plans so that .
A. they will fully support you B. they will take care of your house
C. they will contact you only when necessary D. they can help you make preparations
34. What is the most important thing of taking a staycation? _________
A. Spending quality time with your family. B. Letting your kids learn about nature.
C. Giving your family relaxing time. D. Getting away from stressful work hours.
35. The underlined word “bonds” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”.
A. friendship B. health C. links D. circles

The best study tips to help you pass exams
76. ______
Cramming(突击式学习) doesn’t work. If you start to study for weeks ahead, you will have plenty of time to read everything. It also gives you enough time to ask questions about anything you don’t fully understand.
77. ______
How many pages in total do you have to study? How much time? If you have 50 pages to cover in 10 weeks, then that is only 1 page a night on weekdays, with weekends off. That’s not so bad! You can even write down what to study in that night.
78. ______
When you start early enough, you can easily avoid the stress and anxiety of polling an all-nighter. And, you can move at a steadier pace—20 minutes a night is easier to handle than 7 hours the night before. By the week before the exam you’ll have read everything at least once and you’ll be prepared!
79. ______
Look at the chapter or unit or section. What are the titles, headings and subheadings? Are there any bold words? Write these down. These are key words, and they are great indicators to help you know what the material is about.
80. ______
The secret to easy studying is to be an active learner in class. Raise your hand. Ask questions. Participate in discussions. Don’t just sit and wait for the teacher to teach you, get involved in learning!
A. Pay attention to key words and indicators.
B. Make your own learning plan.
C. Study a little bit earlier.
D. Give yourself plenty of time.
E. Don’t study the things you know well.
