I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone,N. C. , where I ate at F. A. R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe. You can volunteer to earn your meal,pay the suggested price ($10) or less,or you can overpay — paying it forward for a future customer's meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Cafe opened in York in April,I signed up for a volunteer shift（輪班）.
F. A. R.M. and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafes. In 2003,Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation,helping others copy her pay-what-you-can model.
“I think the community cafe is truly a hand up,not a handout,^ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society,but people typically dori 51 feel good about going there.
“One of the values of the community cafe is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here,no one needs to know whether you volunteered,underpaid or overpaid."
The successful cafes not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhoods — whether it's a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some- offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we’ re all in this world together. '
My 10 am-1 pm shift at Healthy World Cafe began with the cafe manager — one of two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly,but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift,I ordered my earned meal at the counter,together with other volunteers. After lunch,I walked out the door,with a handful of new friends,music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.

Cancers Cells in our bodies are always dividing,as new cells replace old ones. 36 Cancer cells divide rapidly,and form growths called tumours(腫瘤）. They can spread to take over a whole organ and stop it working properly. If cells break away from the tumour,they can travel to other parts of the body and start new tumours.
We do not know why some people get cancer while others don't. But faulty genes are certainly the cause of some cancers. Others are caused by chemicals in the environment.
Cancer is not a single disease. 37 The most common types affect the digestive system and lungs. In women,cancers of the breasts and cervix (子宮頸) are also common.
Smoking is the cause of almost all cases of lung cancer. Tobacco smoke contains chemicals which can damage the lungs. The more cigarettes a person smokes,the greater their risk of suffering from lung cancer. 38
Cancers of the skin are also quite common. Many types of radiation,especially ultraviolet rays (紫外線) from the Sun,can damage skin cells and cause cancer.
Most cancers can be treated successfully if they are caught early enough. Some treatments involve surgery to remove the tumour. This is often followed by a course of strong drugs. 39 They kill healthy cells as well as cancer cells.
In the most up-to-date treatments,drugs are delivered directly to the cancer cells using “magic bullets”. These are special antibodies which only attach themselves to cancer cells.
Similarly, radiotherapy(放射療法) is a type of cancer treatment which uses radiation to kill cancer cells. A narrow bean(光線) of radiation is focused directly at a tumour. 40
A. Most skin cancers are completely curable.
B. And the healthy cells nearby are not damaged.
C. Many of these drugs have unpleasant side-effects.
D. An X-ray of the lungs shows the position of a tumour.
E. Different cancers can affect almost any part of the body.
F. But sometimes the process goes wrong,and a cancer cell is formed.
G. Fortunately,the risk of getting cancer is reduced when someone stops smoking.

To wear rohes and wigs(長袍和假發(fā)) ，or to not wear robes and wigs: that is the question. In 1776,when the United States declared its independence from England,the Founding Fathers set out to create a government and wrote the most important political documents. It is not surprising that they used English common law as the basis of our society’s laws. Apparently,they also debated court dress. Thomas Jefferson,and a few of his colleagues,wanted judges to wear suits in order to rid the influence of the English era. John Adams,on the other hand,wanted to keep the tradition alive. The Founding Fathers did what they did best,and compromised. They threw away the uncomfortable wigs and kept the robes.
At the time,Supreme Court Justices usually wore red robes. But Chief Justice John Marshall changed the dress rules by putting on a black robe.
He started a new fashion and judges in the United States have been wearing black ever since.
The tradition of robes came from the English,but why were the English wearing robes in the first place? The wearing of robes by justices can date back to the 15th century. English judges wore red,green,reddish blue,and black robes depending on the fashions of the time. In 1635,it was decided that reddish blue robes should be worn in the summer and black for the winter. It was also decided that red robes should be worn on ceremonial occasions.
The origins of wearing the black robe in England are debated among historians. Most historians say that the black robe tradition started with the mourning of the death of Queen Mary II in 1694.
However,in the United States,the tradition of black robes Was not always followed. Former Idaho Supreme Court Justice,Byron Johnson,chose to wear a royal blue robe stating in a letter to his friend that he sat in the “black and blue” court.
Wearing black robes will most likely continue in the United States for a long time to come. However,everyone,especially judges,should take a moment to thank Thomas Jefferson for convincing John Adams to give up those ridiculous wigs.
6. The Founding Fathers disagreed about whether.
A. judges should debate like English judges
B. judges should dress in the English way
C. they should obey English common law
D. they should set up a new government
7. What was Jefferson's attitude towards the English tradition?
A. He doubted it. B. He tolerated it.
C. He was against it. D. He was uncertain of it.
8. Black robes became a tradition of American courts because of .
A. John Adams’ argument
B. John Marshall's example
C. the dress rules in English courts
D. the Founding Fathers’ compromises
9. The black robe in English courts may go back to.
A. the 15th century B. the 18th century C. the year of 1635 D. the year of 1694
10. How does the author sound when telling the stories in the text?
A. Humorous. B. Anxious.
C. Cautious. D. Serious.

How did Indiana get its nickname as “The Hoosier State”? 36 There are many different theories about how the word Hoosier came to be and how it came to have such a connection with the state of Indiana.
One of the earliest known uses of the term is found in an 1827 letter that states, “There is a trick for you — done up by a Hoosier." 37 Around this time,John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem called The Hoosier's which was widely read.
He wrote the word as “hoosher” and did not explain its meaning,which leads historians to believe that Finley felt his readers would already know and understand the word. Finley wrote, “With men of every hue and fashion,Flock to this rising ‘Hoosher’nation."
38 In 1848,Bartlett* s Dictionary of Americanisms defined “Hoosier” as “A nickname given at the west,to natives of Indiana." In John Finley's poem,the word “Hoosher” seems to refer less to the pioneers of Indiana and more to the qualities he thought they possessed,like self-reliance and bravery.
39 Some people think it was created to laugh at Indian訌 as a rough and backward (落后的) place.
Others think that early settlers used the term with pride to describe themselves as a courageous group. One historian,. Jacob Piatt Dunn,even suggested that the word “Hoosier” originally referred to boatmen who lived on the Indiana shore. We may never know for sure. 40
A. So,what does the word mean?
B. The word “Hoosier” was widely used by the 1830s.
C. No one seems to know how the word “Hoosier” came to be.
D. And how did people from Indiana come to be called “Hoosiers”？
E. Other early uses provide some ideas about the meaning of the word.
F. However,research and debate are likely to continue about this mysterious word.
G. Some theories and stories about the origin of the word “Hoosier” are known to be false.

I still remember that night after my senior high school entrance examination. Even though I was at the top of my class,I was not good in history. At around 10 pm,I tried to sleep,and my eyes just wouldn't close. Suddenly,I saw my dad coming into my room,with smile on his face,asked me to go to sleep. I told him that I couldn't get to sleep. He called me into my room and put his hand on my head. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep. I took up my exam the next day and the result was satisfied. It's tough to put into word what parents do for us but times like this reminds me just how wonderful parents truly are.
