【題目】About us

Started by private citizens who believe that everyone should have the right to take showers, Lava Mae seeks to reach those who lack these necessities.

We turn retired public transportation buses into bathrooms because we believe that for the thousands of men, women and children living on our streets, a shower can be the first step towards change.

Our partners

Each day we partner different local non-profit organizations providing services to the homeless.

The local government tries their best to deliver our services. For example, get buses and seek access to water.

The private sector has provided us with goods and services, in addition to other support and funding that make our service possible.

Our mission

To deliver dignity(尊嚴(yán))and unlock opportunity for the homeless—one mobile shower at a time. Fundamental to this mission are three beliefs: First, everyone has the right to be clean. Second, those experiencing homelessness can’t access jobs and housing or maintain health and happiness if they can’t get clean. Third, with hygiene(衛(wèi)生)comes dignity; with dignity, opportunity.

Our schedule

Wednesdays: 9:30am~12pm;YWAM in the Tenderloin; 344 Ellis St. between Taylor and Jones.

Thursdays: 9:30 am~3:30pm; API Wellness in the Tenderloin;730 Polk St. near Ellis St.

【題目】閱讀理解。

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist “for the art of memory” with which he has “uncovered the lifeworld of the occupation”．

Although the 69yearold writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.

So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?

Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a JewishItalian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war, but “not the taint(污點(diǎn)) of the war”．

Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it.According to New Yorkbased newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, polic files, and newspaper cuttings.

His most admired novel，Missing Person, is a good example.It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

【1】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．a(chǎn) literary figure's personal affairs

B．a(chǎn) famous novelist's family background

C．a(chǎn) Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

D．European people's sufferings during World War Ⅱ

【2】Which of the following statements about Patrick Modiano is TRUE according to the passage?

A．He is a survivor of World War Ⅱ.

B．He tried to find back his lost identity.

C．World War Ⅱ has an impact on his life.

D．He was worldfamous before winning the Nobel Prize.

【3】Modiano won the Nobel Prize because of ________.

A．his extraordinary character

B．his unique way of recording history

C．his characters' unusual experiences

D．his special connections to the war

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．Modiano's parents were sent to the concentration camp

B．Modiano's winning the Prize was beyond expectation

C．Modiano's father had nothing to do with the Nazis

D．Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin

【題目】閱讀理解。

In a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now.Whether cable or mobile broadband, today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days.Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.

There's a hidden problem：you have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don't, it's slow dialup access for you. And for those living really far away，there may be no Internet access at all.

Technology experts often talk about the “l(fā)ast mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs(郊區(qū)), it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries. Internet service providers，for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense.

But every year，technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users.Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere.

Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines.Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables(光纜)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.Still, the “l(fā)ast mile” problem remains hard to deal with.There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If span>the rapid progress in cellphone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Internet connections have been popular everywhere.

B．Internet service providers are willing to care about rural customers.

C．The problem of Internet access hasn't been completely dealt with.

D．Computers can't become popular in developing countries.

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ________.

A．make TV and telephone available everywhere

B．bring great change to people's everyday life

C．bring faster Internet connections to users

D．make it possible for more people to use the Internet

【3】What may eventually settle the “l(fā)ast mile” problem?

A．The broadband connection's getting faster.

B．The rapid progress in cellphone technology.

C．More and more Internet connections.

D．More and more Internet users.

【4】The best title for this passage may be “________”．

A．Internet Connection Problems

B．Internet Connections Need Improving

C．Progress in Internet Connections

D．Internet Connections Today
