As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food.
While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters.
When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college entrepreneurship(創(chuàng)業(yè)) contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: Their program wouldn’t have a donation minimum (meaning they would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup), would operate seven days a week, and would be run entirely by volunteers.
Their idea won the competition. With the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food.
Robert, who had taken a job at J.P. Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he found volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. After RLC received national press attention, homeless shelters and soup kitchens in Portland, Oregon, Washington, DC and other cities reached out to Robert for partnership advice. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food in 12 cities around the country.
Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just huge,” he says. He’s now the group’s only full-time employee.
“One shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.”
1.Which of the following statements about RLC is NOT true?
A. It became successful immediately.
B. It has attracted nationwide attention.
C. It was started from a food-rescue club.
D. It delivers food to shelters by volunteers.
2.Where did Robert get the money to found RLC?
A. He saved money in college.
B. He won the prize at a competition.
C. He borrowed money from his friend
D. He received donations from restaurants.
3.Why did Robert quit his job at J.P. Morgan?
A. He couldn’t make as much money as he hoped.
B. The job at J.P. Morgan takes too much of his time.
C. RLC needs a full-time employee to develop its business.
D. Working for RLC is more meaningful than for J.P. Morgan
4.According to Robert, which of the following words best describes the job at RLC?
A. rewarding B. surprising
C. tiring D. exciting

He wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants(興奮劑,刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.
Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modern translation. And, according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.
The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the reader to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded”, before reading the simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare's use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward translation.
The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit, Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translate” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity.
“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive(認(rèn)知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.
1.The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to ________.
A. prove the poet’s point B. introduce the topic
C. serve as an example D. stress the importance of reading
2.What is the beneficial effect of reading classics on the mind?
A. It activates the reader’s mind B. It reflects the reader’s experience
C. It catches the reader’s attention D. It monitors the reader’s brain activity
3.What method is mainly used in the experiment?
A. Comparing responses. B. Analyzing data.
C. Observing activities. D. Testing ability.
4.According to Professor Davis, poetry can affect the mind mainly because of ________.
A. its style B. its meaning C. its depth D. its writer
