Believe it or not, being a professional Santa is hard work . It’s not just about putting on a red suit and a fake beard . Some Santas actually take their job so seriously that they go to university to sharpen their skills.
Santa University is a real thing. It’s a four-day training program that takes place every summer at ‘Noerr Pole’, the office of Noerr Programs in Colorado. A team of 70 members are more strictly trained, and the training covers every single aspect you can think of when it comes to being the excellent Santa. They are taught how to pose for pictures , how to deal with social media , how to sit with a child on their lap, what to do with children’s questions, and how to stay healthy during the holidays.
“Santa University is about inspiring that heart of Santas,” said company president Judy Noerr. That’s why participants take part in Operation Santa’s Stocking—an initiative (行动) that gives back to the community by packing goody boxes for American soldiers worldwide.
Being a member of Santa University is no easy task . “They are working with children , and they represents us, our clients, and most of all Santa. They should have the right difference that can make them stand out among others.” said Judy Noerr.
Most people chosen as members are actors , schoolteachers, toy makers, children’s advisors, and so on . The ability to speak various language is definitely a plus(优势), as is an abundance of naturally white facial hair.
So how much money do these magical Santa actors actually make? The exact figure isn’t clear, but they certainly aren’t allowed to work for free. It depends on how much experience they have , and the market they’re going into.
“The goal is to bring a magical experience to kids,” said Wade Burleigh, who’s been working as a professional Santa for 9 years. “It takes someone who can be themselves and still have the heart of the Santa Claus. That’s what it’s all about at the end of the day.”
56. In Santa University members always .
A. compete for the best Santa
B. receive much stricter training
C. imagine some strange questions
D. bring their children with them
57. Members participate in Operation Santa’s Stocking in order to .
A. exchange gifts with American soldiers worldwide
B. let themselves have the heart of Santas
C inspire American soldiers who work worldwide
D prove themselves to be the best Santas worldwide
58. What can be an advantage for those who want to be members of Santa University?
A. Having long hair
B. Making beautiful boys
C. Speaking many languages
D. Acting as a Santa Claus
59. What do we know about members from the last two paragraphs?
A. They care more about the experience than the money
B. They charge people nothing for their work
C They want to encourage more people to be professional Santas
D. They always do some research on the market before they work
60. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Many good qualities are needed to be a professional Santa.
B. Professional Santas improve their skills in Santa University
C. A magical experience is offered to kids in Santa University
D. Many people choose to work as professional Santas nowadays.
C
We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.
Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We can not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.
61. Where can you find this passage?
A. In a medicine dictionary. B. in a kids’ story book.
C. In a social science book. D. In a science textbook.
62. According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A. ignored B. tired C. disturbed D. relaxed
63. A “rubber neck” often __________.
A. says bad words behind people
B. asks about other people’ s business
C. bargains with salespeople over the price
D. quarrels face to face with neighbors
64. Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?
A. Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.
B. Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.
C. Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.
D. Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.
65. What is the main purpose of the author?
A. To tell people what might be bad manners in public.
B. To criticize the people who might be a “pain in the neck”.
C. To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”.
D. To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.
D
More Americans than ever before are supporting their local food markets, and new research has found it’s not just because they believe the food is fresher and tastes better. According to a new study of the university of Iowa (UI), people are shopping farmers’ markets and joining food coops (食品合作社) at record numbers because they enjoy knowing who grows their food. These so-called ‘locavores(土食者)’are also driven to eat locally grown produce and meat because their commitment to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves--- a community that shares their enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle a nd a sustainable(可持续的) environment.
For these enthusiasts supporting the local food movement is a sort of civic (公民的) duty , an act to keep their local economy away form the threats of globalization and supermarkets. “It’s not just about the economical exchange; it’s also an exchange of ideas,” said Ion Vasi, an associate professor at the UI and corresponding author of the study.
Vasi said the local food market is what sociologists call a “moralized market,” and that is a market in which people integrate economic activities with their values. Among the findings , the UI researchers discovered local food markets were more likely to develop in areas where local people had a strong commitment to civic participation, health and the environment. “It’s about valuing the relationship with the farmers and people who produce the food and believing that how they produce the food aligns with (使一致) your personal values,” Vasi said.
Vasi shared the results of the study at American Sociology Association annual meeting in Chicago . For his study , Vasi examined the development of local food markets by looking at the number of farmers’ markets, food coops, community-supported agriculture providers and local food restaurants in cities across the United States. Researchers also conducted 40 interviews with consumers and producers in different local food markets in Iowa and New York.
66. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Many Americans turn to foreign foods.
B. More and more American shoppers become “locavores”
C. Fewer Americans keep a healthy lifestyle as secrets.
D. Americans know their food producers well.
67. Why do so many people join food coops?
A. To benefit from so-called “locavores”.
B. To create a sus tainable environment .
C. To avoid buying local produce.
D. To figure out who grows their food.
68. Enthusiasts support the local food in order to .
A. protect their local economy
B. eat fresh and healthy food
C. protect the environment
D. deal with results that glob alization brings
69. What does the underlined word “integrate” mean?
A. Balance B. Develop C. Combine D. Identify
70. The study shared in the annual meeting in Chicago .
A. showed the development of local food markets
B. showed the exact number of local food markets
C. was accepted by the American Sociology Association
D. showed the relation between the economy and society

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
I’m Mikaila from Texas. I’m 10 years old now and I’m trying to save honey bees.
It all started when I was 4 years old. I was stung (蛰) by a bee twice in one week. As a result, I became very scared whenever bees were near me. In order to help me overcome the fear, my parents asked me to do some research on bees. During my research on bees, I learned that bees were really important to flowers, gardens and trees. I also learned that they were dying at a rapid speed. In my opinion, the overuse of pesticides (农药) might be responsible for it.
That was when I set my mind to create a product to help save bees. I decided I would sell lemonade (柠檬味汽水) and I started my c ompany, BeeSweet Lemonade. My special lemonade recipe came from my great-grandmother’s cookbook. I decided to add honey to it instead of sugar in order to draw attention to the problems honey bees face. I sell lemonade almost every day at my lemonade stand. And I take every opportunity to tell my customers about the issues facing honey bees.
My small operation is starting to grow. BeeSweet plans to sell almost 140,000 bottles of lemonade this year. BeeSweet lemonade can be found on the shelves at Whole Foods Markets as well as in many restaurants and other locations near my home in Austin, Texas. My cause and I have also been featured in many news reports, magazines, blogs and even on Shark Tank, a TV show featuring hopeful business people.
I’m happy to watch people enjoy my lemonade, because the more people enjoy it, the more they are learning about honey bees.
71. Why did Mikaila Ulmer’s parents ask her to do research on bees? (no more than 10 words)
