There were quite a lot of things that the philosophers of the old times got right and one of those things was that there is a very strong need for lawyers and government in a society. The government looks to protect and help you in times of need and the lawyers are there to fight for your case if you are treated unfairly. Just like then, there is still a need for government to help people when they need help now in today’s world. This sort of help can come from when people need social security benefits because they become disabled after some sort of accident.

If you have become disabled in recent days, then you certainly have rights go to find out whether you are qualified to receive the social security disability benefits. The social security disability is for those who have become disabled or are disabled due to some sort of accident that may have happened and that forces you to be out of work. This can be very frustrating because being out of work means that you cannot make money that you need in order to provide for yourself and those you are possible taking care of. This is where the government comes into play. The government will help you out with this and possibly give you money in order to keep yourself from ending up on the streets.

They understand that accidents do happen and that there needs to be some sort of help for those who get into accidents and cannot provide for themselves. If you are sure that you have a disability, get in touch with the social security department for more information. Meyers Law Firm can help you get the social security disability benefits you have rights to gain.

It turned out there were a lot of things I had yet to learn about life,or at least life on the Princeton campus in the early 1980s.After I spent several energizing weeks as a summer student,surrounded by a few dozen other kids who seemed both accessible and familiar to me,the fall semester officially began, opening the floodgates to the student population at large.I moved my belongings into a new dorm room,a one-room triple in Pyne Hall,and then watched through my third-floor window as several thousand mostly white students poured onto campus,carting stereos and duvet sets and lots of clothes.Some kids arrived in limos(豪华轿车)One girl brought two limos to accommodate all her stuff.

Princeton was extremely white and very male.There was no avoiding the facts . Men on campus outnumbered women almost two to one Black students made up less than 9 percent of my freshman class.It during the orientation program we’d begun to feel some ownership of the space,we were now glaring anomaly(异类)－poppy seeds in a bowl of rice.While Whitney Young had been somewhat diverse,I’d never been part of a predominantly white community before.I’d never stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin.It was jarring and uncomfortable,at least at first,like being dropped into a strange new terrarium,a habitat that hadn’t been built for me.

As with anything,though,you learn to adapt.Some of the adjustment was easy-a relief almost.For one thing,nobody seemed much concerned about crime.Students left their rooms unlocked,their bikes casually kickstanded outside buildings,their gold earrings unattended on the sink in the dorm bathrooms.Their trust in the world seemed infinite,their forward progress in it entirely assured.For me,it was something to get used to. I’d spent years quietly guarding my possessions on the bus ride to and from Whitney Young.Walking home to Euclid Avenue in the evenings,I carried my house key placed between two fingers and pointed outward,in case I needed it to defend myself.

At Princeton,it seemed the only thing I needed to be careful about was my studies.Everything otherwise was designed to accommodate our well-being as students.The dining halls served five different kinds of breakfast.There were enormous spreading oak trees to sit under and open lawns where we could throw Frisbees to relieve our stress.The main library was like an old-world cathedral,with high ceilings and glossy hardwood tables where we could lay out our textbooks and study in silence.We were protected,cocooned,catered to.A lot of kids,I was coming to realize,had never in their lifetimes known anything different.

Attached to all of this was a new vocabulary, one needed to master.What was a precept?What was a reading period?Nobody had explained to me the meaning of”extra-long”bedsheets on the school packing list. which meant that I bought myself too-short bedsheets and would thus spend my freshman year sleeping with my feet resting on the exposed plastic of the dorm mattress.There was an especially distinct learning curve when it came to understanding sports.I’d been raised on the bedrock of football,basketball,and baseball,but it turned out that East Coast prep schoolers did more.Lacrosse was a hing.Field hockey was a thing.Squash,even,was a thing.For a kid from the South Side,it could be a little dizzying.”You row crew?”What does that even mean?

1.What do we know about Princeton students in the early 1980s?

A.The university took pride in a great diversity of students.

B.The number of the boy students was about twice that of the girls.

C.White students lived a simple life on campus.

There are a lot of things that happen to me in China but would certainly never happen in the US. One of those things is being called “strong”．

The first time was last December. I was walking across the high school campus in Guangzhou where I taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello. I smiled and waved back, but then she stopped and called my name. “You're so strong！” She smiled and pointed at what appeared to be my arm.

I looked down at my arms. Let's get one thing clear: I'm a very skinny guy. Once, while rehearsing for a high school talent show, I was told by the teacher in charge that I couldn't participate in the men's shirtless dance routine because my visible rig cage(胸腔) would frighten the audience.

“I'm so what？” “You're so strong！” she repeated. “Um, thanks！” I didn't know what else to say, so we both waved goodbye.

The next morning I stepped into my oral English classroom only to be greeted instantly by a unanimous(异口同声的) “Waaa！” of shock and admiration. “What？” I asked. “You're so strong！” shouted a boy from the back of the class.

“Okay, will someone tell me what that means？” I was curious as to the real reason for such praise. So I turned to the monitor, gesturing for him to speak.

“We just mean, you look very strong today，” he offered earnestly.

“What？！ You mean like this？” I curled my arm like a body­builder.

“No! But it's so cold, and you're only wearing a short­sleeve shirt.”

Oh, I got it. My “strength” had less to do with my muscle and more to do with my apparent ignorance of the cold weather.

1.From the passage we can learn that the author is________.

A. a Chinese student

B. an American student

C. a Chinese teacher

D. an American teacher

2.The author used the example of being refused to join in the dance routine to show that________.

A. many people worry about his bad health

B. he is as strong as a body builder

C. actually he isn't physically strong at all

D. being called “strong” often happens to him

3.The underlined word “she” in the 4th paragraph refers to________.

A. the girl he met on the campus

B. the teacher in charge of the dance routine

C. the girl who joined in the rehearsing

D. a stranger he met on the way to work

4.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. The Chinese Culture or the Western Culture

B. Am I Strong or Do I Need a Sweater

C. How I Can Get Stronger in Winter

D. How We Can Tell Two Different Cultures Apart

There’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of these things. Why do people keep drinking it? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs?

There are all kinds of alcohol molecules (分子), but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇). Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water, so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system. Because it dissolves in water, it can get into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can pass through cell membranes(膜). It can go almost anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is sweated — unmetabolized(未经新陈代谢的) and whole — through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.

Alcohol depresses the nerves, and the nerves affect almost every area of the body. Enough alcohol makes people sleep, so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit (呕吐物). Most worryingly, enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.

Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver, but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm. Instead, it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled. All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain.

1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

A. By statement.            B. By question.

C. By arguing.                D. By explaining.

2.Why can alcohol reach the brain?

A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.

B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.

C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport.

D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.

3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.

B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath .

C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.

D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.

4.From the passage, we can know ________.

A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed

B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities

C. alcohol damages the liver indirectly

D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep

There are hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. And it’s a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.

But eventually, kids grow up and become teens. It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it.

In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions.

It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.

The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.

Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.

1.Why do parents always want to control their children?

2. What does the underlined word “lessen” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

3.The author suggested that teenagers ____.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
