When we are unfamiliar with something，we may feel nervous and fearful．The assistance of others is a good way to help us pull through．
I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to write a story about parachute jumping．To make it a realistic as well as exciting story，I decided that I first had to make a jump myself． Unfortunately，I am not good at any sports of any kind，let alone parachute jumping．
My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a hand．He took me to a ground school．The first day’s training included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane For this，I had to wait until the following morning．
The next morning，after a hurried，anxious breakfast，I was taken to the airfield．There，two heavy parachutes were put on my back，and an orange helmet was pushed down onto my head．Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway.
Once on board，the plane was soon climbing．I began to feel nervous．As we reached one thousand metres，Harry，my teacher, hooked(钩)a line from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane．The line was to pull my parachute open after I jumped．
“Get ready, Henry,”Harry said．I moved carefully to the door．I wanted to cry,“No，no，no!”But no word came．
“Jump!”Harry called loudly．“Jump!”
To my surprise，kicking like a frog I did jump．Away from the plane，and down，down I fell，arms stretched．It worked! The air seemed to hold me up．All at once I was very happy．
Then I felt a quick pull．My big parachute had opened! It was the best surprise I ever had． I looked down．There were rivers，trees，fields and houses．I heard the soft sound of the air This was fun !

The roots of what we call“volunteerism”reach back many generations, to a time when neighbors and townspeople would come together to build and run their communities’(社区) most important organizations—everything from schools and governments to fire-fighting and self-defense．
Besides organizations，however, this early volunteerism brought community elements more tightly together, allowing neighbors to get to know one another, to achieve something important and，more often than not to have fun._
Today，volunteerism continues to thrive．Why? Because volunteerism gets people out of their homes，and brings them together with others who share their interests and concerns．It gives people a chance to directly improve the communalities in which they live．And it’s still fun．
As an important part of social life，volunteer service is gaining more attention and support in the whole world．Volunteers make considerable contributors to social and economic development of the world in the fields such as humanitarian assistance(人道援助)，social welfare(福利)，education，environmental protection，health and etc．In 1985，the United Nations General Assembly announced the December 5th of each year as the International Volunteers’Day—the day for volunteers all over the world．On this day，many countries in the world organize various activities to celebrate International Volunteers’ Day and encourage volunteerism and voluntary service．
In recent years，volunteer service in China is also developing very fast With the coming of the Olympic Games to Beijing，more and more citizens are willing to be volunteers and various voluntary organizations are set up．Olympic volunteers won’t just watch history unfold on their television screens—they’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to share the excitement． and make history themselves．

If you thought taking vitamins would reduce the risk of lung cancer, think again．
Researchers who studied 77，721 people said on Friday that people who took too much vitamin E，especially smokers，had a small but higher risk(风险) of developing lung cancer．
They tracked the subjects’use of multi-vitamins，vitamin C and vitamin E to see if it offered protection from lung cancer．But they found that none of the vitamins was tied to a reduced risk．
“If you could find some sort of magic pill—a pill you could take once a day to decrease your risk—that would be wonderful．But unfortunately．we didn’t find that in our study,”lead researcher Christopher Slatore，of the University of Washington Seattle，said．
The subjects of the study were followed for four years，and 521 developed lung cancer，the majority of them smokers or former smokers，Slatore’s team reported in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine．
Among those in the study who developed lung cancer, the researchers saw a small increased risk related with vitamin E supplements(补充剂)in addition to the expected connections to smoking，family history and age．
This added up to a 28 percent increased risk of developing lung cancer for those taking 400 mg of vitamin E supplements daily for 10 years，the researchers said．
“For people—especially smokers—I suggest that they not take vitamin E(as a supplement) unless they have a very strong reason to take it．” Slatore said．
The idea that vitamin supplements are healthful，or at least not harmful．comes from the desire of many people to match the benefits of a healthful diet with a convenient pill，Tim Byers of the University of Colorado School of Medicine．wrote in an essay．
53．The writer thinks the statement“taking vitamins would reduce the risk of lung cancer，is
.
A．wrong B．right C．doubtful D．possible
54．According to the study of researchers， may increase the risk of lung cancer.
A．the heavy smokers’sudden stop of smoking
B．use of multi-vitamins instead of a healthy diet
C．taking 400 mg of vitamin C supplements daily for a year
D．vitamin E supplements，smoking，family history and age
55．According to the passage，many people take vitamin supplements to
A．cure lung cancer caused by family history
B．prevent diseases like cancer and heart attack
C．save the trouble of making a healthful diet
D．reduce the pain caused by lung cancer
56．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Taking vitamins would reduce the risk of lung cancer．
B．Vitamins are no guard against lung cancer．
C．Vitamin supplements are convenient and magic．
D．Vitamins ale harmful，or at least not healthful．

Many would consider it crazy, but what has caused the sudden popularity of the DINK (double income，no kid) lifestyle? Mr. Buchanan lists three factors that lead to the DINK lifestyle and help explain why today’s culture mocks the old idea that “the good tile for a woman means a husband and a houseful of kids.”
The first factor is what is generally called“the greatest movement of the 20th century”．The movement of women from their homes to offices，which is similar to the 19th century migration (迁移)of men from the farm to the factory．
The second factor is some women begin choosing to follow a career(职业) rather than raise a family．Modern industries offer well-paid jobs to able women，who can compete successfully with men. With more women working，families become wealthier and smaller．
The third factor is the end of the“family wage”. Before 1964，employers paid a man a “family wage” enough to support a wife and family However, as women’s pay has greatly increased．men’s pay has dropped，and the traditional marriage and family have suffered Young women are now more likely to be financially(经济上)independent and more likely to delay their marriage，or just not marry at all Some choose to be DINKs.
Though not necessarily the best，to be a DINK has become an increasingly popular lifestyle choice，one that has gained more and more recognition in our society.
57．The writer probably thinks the DINK lifestyle ，
A．perfect B．acceptable C．unreasonable D．Crazy
58．According to Mr. Buchanan，
A．many men left the farm to work in the factory in the 19th century
B．most women are less likely to get married and act as housewives
C．modern industries now prefer talented women rather than men
D．able women prefer to raise a family rather than follow a career
59．The underlined word“mocks” in the second paragraph most probably means
A．praises B．follows C．laughs at D．learns from
60．The best title of the passage can be
A．DINK Lifestyle
B．Follow a Career and Be a DINK
C．Why Be a DINK
D．Greatest Movement of 20th Century
