Rather, it 35 when you hand a cup of hot coffee to that older man sitting on the side of the street asking for money. You feel it when you drive an hour and a half to a 36 to meet children with cancer. And you feel it when you sit down with your friend to comfort her 37 her mother died. Helping others can be the greatest feeling in the world, and I 38 this just one year ago. My friend asked me to go to a Youth Group meeting at his church. After an hour of listening to them 39 their opinions, I was invited to go with them to help 40 the homeless. Early that Saturday morning, a team of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches and counting bags of candy. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, can make a 41 . Since it was my first time, and I wasn t part of the group, I felt a little out of place. But watching the others 42 the food drove my nervousness away. Before long, all 150 bagged lunches were gone and the group was 43 its way home. I realized that not only is my friend an amazing person, but that all of those people are amazing. That s what made me join the Youth Group. I work at a coffee shop but don t make much. It s not the best job, but there are times when it s worth it. For example, a few weeks ago, when the store was 44 and I was bored, looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He had been there before. As a matter of fact, he 45 came in to buy anything because he didn t have any money. I took up a cup of coffee, walked outside, and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I put my own money into the drawer. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help is 46 the greatest feeling in the world. 5 35. A. starts B. stops C. lasts D. fails 36. A. shop B. church C. country D. hospital 37.

B Lost Cat Returned To Owner 12 Years Later April 3, 2014 Linda Edwards of Las Vegas, Nevada is full of happiness because her long lost cat Spaz has been returned to her 12 years after he first went missing! Spaz first went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town and even wrote letters to some newspapers for help and was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, on New Year s Eve of 2002 her searching stopped. But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray cat (流浪猫 ) and took him into a West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spaz and he belonged to Edwards! An old lady found a kitty on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned (扫描 ) him for a microchip ( 微芯片 ) and we were able to find out his owner. The kitty, whose name is Spaz, has been missing for 12 years! the animal hospital wrote on their Facebook page early last week. Microchipping pets is a way to recognize if a stray animal belongs to anyone who could be missing them. Microchipping pets allows animal services to learn if they have a family waiting for them. Microchips are only about the size of a grain of rice and can only be removed by operation. 7 Edwards is very thankful she had Spaz microchipped and was so excited to get him back! I feel like I have a second chance, she said. This would have never happened if it weren t for microchips. 50. The cat got lost _.

D 9 Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States. Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested. I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole. says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨 ). 3D printing services are coming into American people s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商 ) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego. The heed has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It s been much more than I would have imagined. The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores. For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节 ) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢 ). He says the same day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster. Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down. Bryan Jaycox asks for $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services. Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly . But KiChong Tran says even today s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia. With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world. He says it s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality. 56. What can 3D printers do according to the passage? A. Come up with an idea. B. Draw on a piece of paper. C. Help users reduce the cost. D. Turn an idea into an object. 57. What does the underlined part mean
