"I'm jumping up and down, saying, 'Mom, can I go? Can I go?'" ‎ The experience changed Dekalb's life, he tells his dad on a visit to Story Corps. "My eyes got big from the moment the alarm went off." the younger Dekalb says. "This is the life that I want to live someday." ‎ Now 27, the younger Dekalb is living that life. He became a firefighter at 21 and went to work alongside his dad at the Chicago Fire Department. Before his father retired, the pair even went out on a call together—father supervising（监督）son.‎ ‎"You know, it's everything for me to watch you grow," his father says. But he also recalls worrying about one particular fire that his son faced."‎ I received a phone call that night. And they said, 'Well, your son was at this fire.' I said, 'OK, which way is this conversation going to go? ' Dekalb Walcott Jr. recalls.‎ ‎"And they said, 'But he's OK. And he put it out all by himself. Everybody here was proud of him.'‎ And the word went around, 'Who was out there managing that fire? Oh, that's Walcott! That's Walcott up there!' So, you know, moments like that, it's heaven on Earth for a dad." ‎ Dekalb Walcott Jr. retired in 2009. The younger Dekalb says he's proud of being a second-generation firefighter. "You know, it makes me look forward to fatherhood as well, because I'm definitely looking forward to passing that torch down to my son." ‎ ‎【文章解读】本文是教育类小故事阅读。消防队员Dekalb Walcott Jr在他儿子小时候就就教育孩子将来成为一名优秀的消防队员，最后儿子实现了他的愿望，儿子也希望自己的儿子将来能结果自己消防队员的接力棒。以自己的职业为神圣使命，做好自己的本职工作，成为别人眼中的骄傲。‎ ‎36.

If I had to take a guess, you probably celebrate New Year’s Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drinks of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop. If you’re particularly lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special someone when the clock hits 00:00am. Have you ever imagined how New Year’s Day would look in another country? Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”‎ ‎1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door——Denmark A strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door.

The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.‎ ‎5. Mistletoe(槲寄生) Leaves Are Placed Under Pillow to Find Husband——Ireland The single women of Ireland wait desperately for New Year’s Eve because it is the night that can bring them the love of their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.‎ ‎ The world is a large and very different place. Yes, people of all nations may celebrate New Year’s much differently around the world, with different traditions, but there are a lot of general themes to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming New Year.‎ ‎【文章解读】本文是社会风俗说明文。文章主要告诉我们五个国家与众不同的新年习俗和新年习惯，全世界人们新年共同的心愿就是：幸福、财富和好运。‎ ‎40.

Within a year chain restaurants, like fast food KFC, will have to say clearly on their menus how many calories their fried chicken wings, fries, and other items contain. Amusement parks, movie theaters and supermarkets will also have to follow the rules. The move is designed to fight against the problem of obesity(肥胖) in the US. ‎ ‎● Antibiotics leading to world problem ‎ The entire world is facing this problem; antibiotic resistance. And the resistance will lead to the deaths of 10 million people across the world by 2025, predicted a new report released by the UK government. Antibiotics are used to destroy or slow the growth of harmful bacteria in our bodies. But overuse and misuse of them can encourage bacteria to develop new ways of overcoming antibiotics, which makes it increasingly difficult for humans to fight diseases. ‎ ‎●___________________________________‎ Australia is the world's most expensive destination for international students, according to a study done by Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC).

However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.‎ ‎ The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the ‎ child spends in education is really impressive.‎ ‎ Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.‎ When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.‎ ‎【文章解读】本文是教育类短文阅读。作者主要阐述了自己对家庭学校的观点和看法。‎ ‎47.

Get Them Cooking Cooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors, according to a recent review. And, although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs, the findings suggest that such programs might help children ‎ develop long-lasting healthy habits. ‎ This research comes at a time when childhood obesity（肥胖）rates have been rising rapidly. More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study. ‎ Cooking education programs, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the program, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the review explained. ‎ The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits. ‎ The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in（参与）their children's eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience. ‎ ‎【文章解读】本文是教育类短文阅读。作者主要介绍给孩子进行烹饪教育能帮助孩子养成良好的健康习惯。‎ ‎52. What can we infer from the second paragraph? ‎ A. Eating out frequently causes obesity. ‎ B. Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit. ‎ C.

However, the retirees think group dancing brings them health and happiness, without which ‎ their life will be extremely boring. Besides, they have their own right to dance on the square as it is also one of the recreational activities like playing chess or playing cards.‎ ‎ In my opinion, there is no denying that getting together to dance allows elderly to maintain health and be social (make more new friends who share the same hobby with them, and build up their body as well).‎ However, whatever their choice of entertainment is, it’s important not to neglect the public order and affect other people’s lives. So it’s time for the government to draft regulations which include details such as the restrictions on the volume, the areas and the musical equipment.
