Mandatory volunteering made many members of Maryland's high school class of 97 grumble withindignation They didn't like a new requirement that made them take part in the school's communityservice program Future seniors, however, probably won't be as resistant now that the program hasbroken in Some, like John Maloney, already have completed their required hours of approvedcommunity service The Bowie High School sophomore earned his hours in eighth grade byvolunteering two nights a week at the Larkin-Chase Nursing and Restorative Center in Bowie

He's not the only volunteer in his family His sister, Melissa, an eighth grader, has completed herhours also volunteering at Larkin-Chase

"It is a good idea to have kids go out into the community, but it's frustrating to have to write essaysabout the works," she said It makes you feel like you're doing it for the requirement and not foryourself."

The high school's service learning office, run by Beth Ansley, provides information onorganizations seeking volunteers so that students will have an easier time fulfilling their hours

"It's ridiculous that people are opposing the requirements," said Amy Rouse, who this summer hasworked at the Ronald McDonald House and has helped to rebuild a church in Clinton

The mineral particles found in soil range in size from microscopic clay particles to large boulders.The most abundant particles - sand, silt, and clay - are the focus of examination in studies of soiltexture Texture is the term used to describe the line composite sizes of particles in a soil sample,typically several representative handfuls To measure soil texture, the sand, silt, and clay particles aresorted out by size and weight The weights of each size are then expressed as a percentage of thesample weight

In the field, soil texture can be estimated by extracting a handful of sod and squeezing the dampsoil into three basic shapes; (1) cast, a lump formed by squeezing a sample in a clenched fist; (2)thread, a pencil shape formed by rolling soil between the palms; and (3) ribbon, a flatfish shape

Trang 4

formed by squeezing a small sample between the thumb and index finger The behavioralcharacteristics of the soil when molded into each of these shapes, if they can be formed at all,provides the basis for a general textural classification The behavior of the soil in the hand test isdetermined by the amount of clay in the sample Clay particles are highly cohesive, and whendampened , behave as a plastic Therefore the higher the clay content in a sample, the more refinedand durable the shapes into which it can be molded.

Another method of determining soil texture involves the use of devices called sediment sieves,screens built with a specified mesh size When the soil is filtered through a group of sieves, each with

a different mesh size, the particles become grouped in corresponding size categories Each categorycan be weighed to make a textural determination Although sieves work well for silt, sand, and largerparticles, they are not appropriate for clay particles Clay is far too small to sieve accurately;therefore, in soils with a high proportion of clay, the fine particles are measured on the basis of theirsettling velocity when suspended in water Since clays settle so slowly, they are easily segregatedfrom sand and silt The water can be drawn off and evaporated, leaving a residue of clay, which can

be weighed

Question 25: The author mentions "several representative handfuls" in the passage in order to show

A the range of soil samples B the requirements for an adequate soil sam

C the process by which soil is weighed D how small soil particles are

Question 26: It can be inferred that the names of the three basic shapes mentioned in paragraph 2

reflect

A the way the soil is extracted B the need to check more than one handful

C the difficulty of forming different shapes D the results of squeezing the soil

Question 27: The word "dampened" in the passage is closest in meaning to _.

Question 28: It can be inferred from the passage that a soil sample with little or no clay in it .

A does not have a durable shape B is not very heavy

C may not hold its shape when molded D does not have a classifiable texture

Question 29: The word "they" in the passage refers to .

A larger particles B sieves C categories D clay particles

Question 30: It can be inferred from the passage that the sediment sieve has an advantage over the

hand test in determining soil texture because

A the sieve allows for a more exact measure B less training is required to use the sieve

C using the sieve takes less time D the sieve can measure clay

Question 31: During the procedure described in paragraph 3, when clay particles are placed into

water they

A stick to the sides of the water container B dissolve quickly

C take some time to sink to the bottom D separate into different sizes

Question 32: The word "fine" in the passage is closest in meaning to .

American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories areentertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand whatcollege is really like

Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more thanthey study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead,movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it is

true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard.

Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there is

a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art,and theater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests them Even more

important, after graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few

extracurricular activities

Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is

true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate

incomes Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-incomefamilies often work part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many collegestudents have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents whothink higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives

Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic,super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with othermyths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements

Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all

So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies Look at some

college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit a fewclasses True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in themovies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you !

The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as

a severe shock to the patient and his family Despite modern advances, most people still have anirrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics Patients do not often believe they really need surgery-cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs

In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery A good surgeon wascapable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time Today thesituation is different Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years

ago The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged blood vessels can be clean out,

and broken ones mended and replaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can beremoved and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life However, not everysurgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation

The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades Its safety has increased, too.Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended

in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other

end of the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian The hospital stay after surgery has

been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations Most patients are out of bed on theday after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks

One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants Until a fewdecades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues ofanother person without reacting against them and eventually killing them Recently, however, it hasbeen discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from oneperson to another which will survive for periods of a year or more Kidneys have been successfullytransplanted between non-identical twins Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonablysuccessful

“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still adream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if thedoctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.”

B because they think modern drugs are dangerous

C because they do not believe they need anesthetics

D unless it is an emergency operation

Question 26: Surgeons in the early 20th century compared with modern ones _

C had less to learn about surgery D could perform every operation known today

A his brain

B a major organ such as the stomach or one lung

C his lungs

D part of the stomach or the whole liver

Question 29: Today, compared with 1910 _.

A 20% fewer of all operation patients die

B 20% of all operation patients recover
