B
Rather than spend my senior year taking a lot of elective courses, I intended to get involved in a particular work-study project where I could volunteer my services at the local hospital. It's the best decision I've ever made.
As students, we aren't always able to understand information in our classes because we hardly ever see it applied in our everyday life. We are taught a new concept one day, and the next day we have no recollection of what the teacher was even talking about. Studies have shown that students become more knowledgeable through visual aids. If the learning process can be greatly improved by seeing concepts in the classroom, imagine the possibilities of absorbing new information by experiencing it in real-life situations, I know how precious that experience can be.
I learned a lesson in faithfulness when I met Tommy, a father who has visited his comatose(昏 迷的) daughter in the hospital three times a week for the past 14 years, I came to appreciate my Spanish classes when I invited Antonio, a Hispanic American struggling to settle down here, to the chapel service(礼拜仪式) in the hospital. I came to value the strength of human contact when I held
another patient's hand while a doctor made the examination. I also learned about the importance of
choosing a career that I really like, for on many occasions, doctors told me, \

doctor; it's not worth all of the stress.\
I have seen time and time again the beneficial results of real-life experience. My high school gave me a firm foundation of education, but it was only through practice that I truly learned. All seniors in this school should be given the opportunities to volunteer at places that interest them.
40. The writer learned through the work-study program _ .
A. the value of Spanish lessons B. the importance of eye contact C. we need to be honest with our families D. he should never become a doctor 41. The third paragraph is developed by _ .
A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons C. examining differences D. listing examples 42. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Volunteering in Hospital B. Education through Application C. Lessons Learned the Hard Way D. Learning Happens Everywhere
43. What might be the main purpose of the passage? A. To promote work-study programs for students B. To call for a reform in the educational system C. To show us the disadvantages of school education D. To find more volunteers for the local hospital

There are toilet-paper arguments, and ongoing debates over money, kids and the television. And then there are the laundry wars. “My husband has this thing with laundry that drives me nuts,” says Amelia Zatik-Sawyer, a 28-year-old mother of two in Cleveland. “He's supposed to wash and I'm supposed to fold, but he does like ten loads at a time and then dumps it all on the bed. With two
little kids, I don't have time to fold ten loads all at once, so I'll leave it. And then he'll come home and throw it into the closet so he can get into bed. And then it just goes out of control from there.”
For many couples, spats are a necessary evil, something to put up with or avoid (for the sake of the kids!). But new research at the University of Michigan shows that letting out marital
disagreements is actually good for your health. It's controlling your anger, especially when you feel you've been wronged, that's dangerous. A study published in January followed 192 married couples in Michigan from 1991 to 2011 and found that those who kept their anger in when unfairly attacked did not live as long as those who expressed their anger, says lead study author Ernest Harburg.
“We're all interested in living longer,” says Harburg, who's studied the health effects of
spousaI(夫妻的) quarrel for over 30 years. \‘express anger constructively’ to that list.\the nuts and bolts of a healthy fight?

A. he puts everything in the closet B. he is too lazy to do his fair share of
