Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.
Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called \Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle \

Among the most common types of career advice that people toss around are tips for job hunting. But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you're not careful:
Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résumé is not supposed to give the story of your life; it's a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.
Bad Rule No. 2: Don't be too narrow. If you're not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-end markets? You're no different from a car. You can't be everything to everyone.

Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.
Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more \friendly\prefer \closely without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or rafting. Daring tourists get the thrill of a lifetime on expeditions in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Philip: Hey, Susan, look at me. Something's bothering you, I can tell. What's the trouble? Why so sad?
Susan: I'm sad all right. You will be too. I just found out Dolly died. And she was only six.
Philip: That's too bad. Six certainly is young to die. What did she die of?
Susan: Cancer. And a sort of stiffening in her joints called arthritis. But she was still able to produce six little ones.
Philip: Six children by age six! No one could do that. You must be joking.
Susan: Ever see her photo? You just want to give her a hug. Big eyes; high nose; curly fair wool.
Philip: Ah, now I've got the picture. You're not talking about a person at all. You mean Dolly the cloned sheep.
Susan: Of course I'm talking about Dolly, the first cloning, in 1996.
Philip: Strictly speaking, that wasn't the first cloning. A Chinese scientist cloned a fish thirty three years before.
Susan: Really? I've never heard about that. Why did he keep it a secret? Why don't we know more about him?
Philip: His name is Tong Dizhou. He described the cloning in a Chinese scientific journal.
Susan: I can guess what happened. The article was never translated into English and was not printed in an international journal and widely read. Right? Philip: You guessed it. Had the scientific community known, he'd be famous. Susan: Now that's something that really is sad. When you think that he made a great discovery, but didn't get credit for it, you feel sorry for him.

Some people cannot learn in ordinary schools. Often some physical or mental handicap prevents a child from learning. In education today new methods are being used in special schools to help the handicapped.
Among the many interesting schools for handicapped people, there is one which is being established in the southern part of New Jersey. It is called the Bancroft Community. Here handicapped young adults will be trained to support themselves and to get along in the outside world.
The Bancroft Community is not surrounded by walls of any kind. Its director, John R. Tullis, insists that it be open so that the students may gradually develop normal relations with the rest of the world.
Bancroft Community students will live in apartments or in a house, cooking their own meals, washing their own clothes, and learning to perform other tasks. Gradually as they become able, they will buy their own furniture, paying for it out of their own earnings. They will pay rent and pay for their food, too. They will learn to expect telephone bills for the calls they make every month.
Q 11: What is this passage about?
Q 12: Why can't some people learn in common schools? Q 13: What is absent from the Bancroft Community? Q 14: What can be inferred from the passage? Q 15: What should the students do every month?

What is happiness? Where do you find it? If you have trouble answering those questions, you are not alone. Philosophers and scientists have puzzled 16) over them for ages.
Probably you gave many of the same answers. Did you say happiness comes from music or good food or 17) companionship ? Perhaps you agreed with Chopin's 18) lover when she said, \is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.\
Those are the usual answers, but they do not constitute a complete 19) definition of happiness. Happiness may also exist in unlikely places. Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, hid from Nazi soldiers in a small attic for two years. Food was 20) scarce and the threat of death was never far away. Yet she recorded in her 21) diary frequent moments of happiness. 22) The sight of new green leaves on tree tops brought her joy. Lord Nelson, the famous English admiral, found happiness when he was near death with a painful wound. After he learned he had 23) defeated the enemy fleet, he spoke his last words with a smile, \Those stories show that people in a difficult or even painful situation may also feel happy.
Conversely, happiness may lead to an unhappy situation. In a workforce 24) made up entirely of happy people, the competitive edge would soon be lost. On the other hand, mildly negative moods bring on the critical and analytical skills that are essential for business prosperity. It may take centuries before 25) philosophers and scientists can arrive at a clear definition of happiness.

The film opens in a California forest as a group of alien botanists collect vegetation samples. US government agents appear and the aliens flee in their spaceship, leaving one of their own behind in their haste. Then the scene shifts to a suburban California home, where a boy named Elliott plays servant to his older brother Michael and his friends. As he fetches pizza, Elliott discovers the stranded alien, who promptly flees. Despite his family's disbelief, Elliott leaves candy in the forest to lure it into his bedroom. Before he goes to bed, Elliott notices the alien in his bedroom, imitating his movements.
Elliott pretends to be ill the next morning to avoid school, so he can play with the alien. That afternoon, Michael and their younger sister Gertie meet the alien. Their mother Mary hears the noise and comes upstairs. Michael, Gertie and the alien hide in the closet while Elliott assures his mother that everything is all right. Michael and Gertie promise to keep the alien a secret from their mother. Deciding to keep the alien, the children begin to ask it about its origin. It answers by raising balls to represent its solar system, and further demonstrates its powers by reviving a dead plant.
At school the next day, Elliott begins to experience a supernatural connection with the alien. Elliott becomes irrational when the alien becomes drunk. As the alien watches a man kiss a woman, Elliott feels he has to kiss a girl he likes in the same manner.
Q 11: Why does one of the aliens stay on the Earth?

While it may not be surprising that job loss and the resulting financial pressure can lead to depression, new study findings by Dr. Howard Price of the University of Ohio show that this and other negative consequences of unemployment can last for up to two years, even after a person gets another job.
It is not simply the loss of employment that keeps individuals in a prolonged state of depression or otherwise poor health, but rather the series of negative events that follows that loss. It is the crises that follow job loss that are more damaging than the loss itself.
Dr. Price and his colleagues investigated the link between job loss and depression, damaged functioning and poor health in a study of 756 job-seekers who were involuntarily unemployed for roughly three months or less and had no hopes of being recalled to their former positions. The study participants were 33 years old on average, and most had completed high school.
Overall, the financial pressure that resulted from the participants' unemployment led to a series of negative life events. For example, if some people lose their jobs, they may have difficulty making a car payment, which can cause them to lose their cars, and then lose their abilities to search for jobs. In addition, losing healthcare benefits due to unemployment will affect a person's ability to care for a family member with a life-long illness, all of which can create a huge pressure on family relationships.
Such negative events seem to have caused the study participants to have more symptoms of depression and a greater perception that they had lost personal control, including lowered self-esteem, study findings indicate.
Further, this depression and perceived loss of personal control remained evident in follow-ups conducted six months and two years later, when 60% and 71% of the study participants had been re-employed and were working at least 20 hours a week. What's more, the study participants' perceived loss of personal control led to reports of poor health and poor emotional functioning in daily tasks.
Q 11: Which of the following is true, according to the speaker? Q 12: What are the subjects in the study like?
Q 13: Which of the following does the speaker mention as a result of unemployment?
Q 14: Which of the following is true of the study participants who found new jobs?

In recent years the weekend has begun to decline in importance. While most people work a 16) five day (five-day) workweek, when the hardware costs outweigh human costs, the 17) competiveness (competitiveness) of the modern economy means that leaving a factory idle for two days or an office 18) unmanned is too great an expense. Thus, many workers 19) regularly work on weekends. Since this is seen as a greater burden, most employers pay 20) extra for weekend work, either by agreement or by law. The rapid increase in the number of two-income 21) households has also changed the character of the weekend. 22) Previously the stay-at-home spouse would do the shopping during the week. With both working, most of the shopping must be done on weekends, leaving 23) less time for recreation. To serve these new shoppers it is also necessary for more stores to remain open and thus more people to work on weekends. The functions of the workweek and weekend vary a great deal in some areas. Stores that rely on office workers will see far less business on a weekend, while those in the suburbs or in residential areas
will see far more. Weekends are days when people can safely sleep in and also not have to worry as much about the 24) ill effects of a hangover, so Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest for bars, restaurants, clubs, and movie theaters. There is substantially less activity on many websites on weekends. One area in which the weekend has 25) remained unaffected is education, where schools are shut on Saturdays and Sundays.

The second book was about that lonely, 21) hopeless \generation\of America that he knew in Europe. Three years later, his fourth novel, A Farewell to Arms, made him famous throughout the world. This love story was about an American 22) ambulance driver and a British nurse. In 1952, he wrote a short novel which is one of his best: The Old Man and the Sea. The book tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman, but is really about man 23) against nature . For this book, he won the Pulitzer Prize.
