National Disability Insurance Scheme(方案)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will transform the way Queenslanders with disability are supported and change the way disability services are funded and delivered.

Under the scheme, Queenslanders with disability will have choice and control over how they access support and who delivers them. They will also have certainty that they will be supported throughout their lifetime to achieve their personal goals.

The NDIS will have an effect on the following programs.

School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability

The NDIS will not disrupt existing services for qualified students. The Queensland Government will also continue to provide school transport assistance for students with disability who are not qualified to receive funding via the NDIS.

For more information about the School Transport Assistance Program, and to check your qualification, visit the Education and Training website.

Taxi Subsidy(补助金)Scheme

The Queensland Government has lengthened the Taxi Subsidy Scheme(TSS) membership for NDIS qualified members to 31 October, 2022. This will allow more time to solve transport support arrangements under the Commonwealth's NDIS.

You can find more information about the TSS and your qualification on the TransLink website.

Disability Parking Permit Scheme

No changes will be made to the Disability parking permit scheme when the NDIS is introduced in Queensland. Current arrangements for this scheme will be maintained.

You can find more information on this scheme, and check your qualification, on the Queensland Government website.

Public Transport Concessions for People with Disability

There will be no change to concessions on public transport for people with disability when the NDIS is introduced in Queensland. TransLink will continue to ensure concessions are provided for disabled persons travelling on public transport in Queensland when the NDIS is introduced.

You can find more information about public transport discounts for people with disability, and check your qualification, on the TransLink website.

Being a teacher is a rewarding career when it comes to changing lives, but it's obviously one that comes with plenty of stresses and difficulties too.

Seeking help for a child who is so obviously in need isn't easy. Often, you feel ignored by the government. You feel upset that there isn't anything you could personally do to help a needy and sensitive member of your class.

That's exactly how Chelsea Haley, aged 24 at the time, felt when she met fourth-grade student Jerome Robinson while working for Teach for America in Louisiana for the first time.

The pair didn't get off to the best start, with Jerome, the "problem child", almost driving Chelsea from teaching. But when Chelsea put her foot down and became determined to work more closely with Jerome, she learned the cause of his rude behavior: a bad home situation. Chelsea was eager to help Jerome, and realized that he needed more than just academic support.

By 2016, a year after meeting him, Chelsea had adopted(收养)Jerome and his brother Jace.

Adopting a child doesn't come cheap, and Chelsea spent all the money in her bank to see the process through.

In her first few years of raising the boys, she lived on credit cards and postponed her student loan.

As Chelsea lived with her two adopted sons, she worked hard to repay her debts. She took on extra tutoring jobs outside of school hours, moved in with her parents, and even delivered groceries for cash. Along the way, she was learning how to be the best mom to Jerome and Jace, cooking for them and cheering them on at football matches.

And now, just five years later, Chelsea can proudly say that she has paid off nearly $50, 000 of debt. Now that she's finally out of debt, Chelsea has plans to buy a house and save up for the boys' college education.

"It allows me to focus on the boys' future," she said. "Saving money for them, and not spending it on my past."

24. What do we know from paragraph 4?

A. Jerome's family was less fortunate.

B. The brothers were in the same class.

C. When helping Jerome, Chelsea felt hopeless.

D. Chelsea got along well with Jerome from the very start.

25. What did Chelsea do to pay off her debts?

A. Borrow money from her parents.      B. Do part-time jobs.

C. Train students to play football.        D. Cook for customers.

26. How old was Chelsea when she paid off nearly all of her debts?

A. 24.      B. 28.      C. 29.      D. 30.

27. Which of the following can best describe Chelsea?

A. Lucky and lovely.            B. Sensitive and ambitious.

C. Selfless and determined.       D. Warmhearted and strict.

C

When visitors enter Planet Word, a new museum in Washington, D. C., they will see Speaking Willow, a tall art piece representing a tree. As they pass under the artwork, they can hear recordings of speech in hundreds of languages coming from the tree. Most words sound foreign to the listeners. The different voices also speak at the same time. The resulting clamor is similar to that made in a crowded theater before a show begins.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer completed the piece last year. On his website, the artist says that Speaking Willow "reminds us that language is what defines our specific communities and connects our many cultures." Lozano-Hemmer made the piece specially for the museum.

It is the first of many immersive(身临其境的)experiences for visitors at Planet Word, a museum all about words and language. The exhibits playfully explore the large and complex subject of language.

In one room, a video plays, showing babies saying their first words. Another room, called "Where Do Words Come From", teaches the history of some common English words. The space includes a 22-foot-tall "Wall of Words", where visitors speak into devices and learn about the roots of the English language.

Another room invites listeners to speak and learn about different languages. Native speakers of 28 languages and two sign languages teach people sayings in those languages. They also explain how language shapes their understanding of the world and how words cannot be separated from culture.

Other rooms explore the different ways language is used-from humor and song writing to public speaking and advertising. Visitors can sing karaoke while learning about song writing, record a famous speech, play a joke-telling game, and teach a computer how to make cartoons. Almost every exhibit is interactive and most ask visitors to speak aloud.

One exhibit room is all about books. It is designed to look like an old, rich library. Books line the shelves. When a book is placed on the table, a recorded reading begins and pictures appear.

28. What does the underlined word "clamor" in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Scene.      B. Noise.      C. Language.      D. Appearance.

29. The Speaking Willow was created          .

A. specially       B. accidentally      C. on request      D. out of curiosity

30. What can we learn from the video in the room?

A. Words and cultures.       B. Different languages.

C. The history of words.      D. The first words newborns say.

31. In which paragraph can you find the methods of using languages?

A. 3.       B. 4.      C. 6.      D. 7.

D

Why does Haiti so tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage in Haiti since at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has been no more kind.

The Earth's outer shell is made up of tectonic plates(构造板块)that move. Haiti sits near the crossing of two tectonic plates that make up the Earth's outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction(摩擦力).

Haiti is also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds but are easy to fall down when the ground shakes. Poor building practices can also play a role.

"I think it's important to recognize that there's no such thing as a natural disaster," said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. "What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because of the fault," said Wendy. "And it's quite a significant risk in places that don't have the construction practices to resist the shaking."

Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge in Haiti, which is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. "While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so," said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies at Northern Illinois University. Haiti's government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.

"There is technical knowledge in Haiti. There are trained architects. There are city planners. That's not the problem," Schuller said. "The problem is a lack of funding for coordination(协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid."

32. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?

A. Its overpopulation.             B. Its weak government.

C. Its geographical location.        D. Its weak architecture system.

33. What does the underlined part "the fault" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Lacking political will to provide aid.

B. Lacking hurricane-resistant buildings.

C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.

D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.

34. What's Schuller's attitude towards Haiti's government?

A. Supportive.      B. Critical.      C. Indifferent.      D. Interested.

35. Which of the following can be a problem according to the last paragraph?

A. Fund and will.        B. Skilled architects.

C. Urban designers.      D. Technology and money.

Dealing With Strict Parents

Sometimes parents set rules because they fear for their children's safety, because they don't think that their children can make it for themselves or even to stay in control or to bring about a desired outcome or simply because they can. Regardless of why parents set rules, teens must learn to live within these guidelines.   36   ?

Meet in the middle

Often teenagers don't recognize that they have strict parents until they brush up against a rule that they don't like.   37   , don't bother yelling and screaming about the unfairness of it all because chances are your parents will ignore you until you yell yourself hoarse(嘶哑的).

Instead, meet your parents in the middle. Ask them to sit down with you to discuss.

   38  

If your past behaviour leaves your parents rolling their eyes at your level of responsibility, offer to show that you are serious about the compromises that you have suggested.   39   , but rather let your parents see your intentions in your actions.

Stay calm and focused

In order to succeed in dealing with strict parents, you'll need to show not only that you are serious about changes in their rules,   40   . Stay calm and focused at all times when discussing your parents' rules.

A. If this is the case for you

B. Show that you are serious

C. if you are dealing with strict parents

D. Don't just give them empty promises

E. but that you can be a serious teen as well

F. But what happens if parents are overly strict
