Homeless Outreach & Mobile Engagement (HOME) Program in Los Angeles
The Homeless Outreach & Mobile Engagement (HOME) program provides field-based outreach, engagement, support, and treatment to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Services are provided by addressing basic needs, conducting clinical assessments, providing street medical treatment, and providing access to appropriate services (including mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and shelter).
HOME serves the youth aged 16 to 21 who are experiencing chronic(长期的) unsheltered homelessness and who have profound mental health needs and associated impairments. These vulnerable individuals struggle with securing appropriate food, clothing, and shelter due to their mental illness. In addition, they may have critical shortage in communication, and are generally highly avoidant of medical services. They are unable to live safely in the community and require specialized mental health services to secure and sustain housing.
Most referrals (移交) are submitted by homeless outreach program staff members who identify individuals with severe impairments that require specialized and intensive support and engagement.
The general public may initiate a referral to a homeless outreach team through the Los Angeles Homeless Outreach Portal at www. LA-HOP. org. Individuals will be assigned to a HOME team if the person meets the criteria.
Homeless outreach providers should complete the form below and email it to HOME@dmh.lacounty.gov.
Press coverage about HOME:
●Los Angeles Times “LA’s first street psychologist makes his sidewalk rounds, transforming homeless lives”
●KPCC-FM “How LA’s ‘Street Psychology’ Program Works To Treat People Who Are Unhoused”
21. How does the HOME program offer help
A. By conducting scientific research.
B. By providing accessible medical care.
C. By recommending useful websites.
D. By finding hosting families.
22. Which of the following youth groups is most likely to benefit from the HOME program
A. The temporarily unsheltered. B. The well-off but troubled.
C. The homeless mentally ill. D. The physically challenged.
23. What should one do to help his friend get help from the HOME program
A. Apply on the website. B. Contact local media.
C. Visit its employees. D. Write a letter of reference.
B
Despite being connected online, no matter what state you’re from, each city still retains its own language and slang. At my public high school in Los Angeles, we had our own secret language. A party was a “yart”. A beer was a “brewsky”. If I tried to use these words in front of anyone that didn’t live in Los Angeles, they would have no idea what was going on. When I came to college and used these words around my roommate from the East Coast, she would look at me with a blank stare.
Teenagers are often blamed for pulling apart standard linguistic patterns. The way my parents used to talk isn’t the same way that teenagers talk now. But it reflects the dynamic nature of language, which evolves over time due to various influences, including generational shifts and technological advancements. Teenagers, at an age when they are actively exploring their identity and seeking to differentiate themselves from previous generations, often play a significant role in this evolution.
It’s interesting to note that people around the world all have different terms for everyday things. Last year, I came across a British show called Love Island, which is a reality show that mixes people from different parts of the U. K. in a “villa”(another word Americans don’t typically say) for about eight weeks. As a bystander, the way they talked felt so elegant and fun, but to them, it was just normal.
Whether the way we talk is regional or from online, the soul of communication lies in its power to connect people, foster understanding, and facilitate interactions that shape our personal and social lives. I have often found it’s the way we connect with the people we live around.
24. Why might the roommate not understand the author’s high school language
A. It is specific to Los Angeles. B. It is too informal.
C. It is outdated. D. It is from online.
25. According to the text, how do the teenagers contribute to the evolution of language
A. By imitating their parents.
B. By applying advanced technology.
C. By following previous language patterns.
D. By finding their own voice.
26. Why does the author mention the British show in paragraph 3
A. To demonstrate worldwide language diversity.
B. To speak highly of British English.
C. To recommend a reality show.
D. To introduce everyday expressions in Britain.
27. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph
A. The means of communication. B. The nature of communication.
C. The elements of communication. D. The process of communication.
C
Have you ever put off a project until the last minute even though you knew it would only take a few hours to complete Studies suggest that when given a task, we think of how much time is available to complete the task instead of how much time we actually need. This mindset, or Parkinson’s Law as psychologists put it, results in wasted time and inefficient workflows.
One reason why this phenomenon happens lies in how people tend to approach tasks. By focusing on how much time we have to do something, we assume that the task will require that much time. Parkinson’s Law isn’t a magic formula(公式) or a fixed rule. But it is an observation you can use to help you become more productive. Let’s look at a few ways you can apply Parkinson’s Law to your life, get your to-do list checked off quicker, and spend less of the workday filling in time just to look busy.
As you get started, make a list of your tasks, and determine the amount of time it takes to complete them. If you can give yourself half that time to complete each task, you can avoid falling into the procrastination(拖延) trap.
Get better at judging time. Some tasks may be accurate to begin with, and some may be inflated if you are not used to using Parkinson’s Law. A timer is going to be very useful when you start doing this.
Avoid setting arbitrary deadlines and instead think about how long a task will realistically take to complete. While this might not be clear, consider past experiences as a guide.
While Parkinson’s Law is a phenomenon that can lead to wasted time and incompetence, it doesn’t have to be a problem if you’re aware of it. Using some of the strategies above, you can avoid falling victim to Parkinson’s Law and make the most of your time.
28. What can be inferred about Parkinson’s Law
A. It improves productivity. B. It leads to procrastination.
C. It results from a magic rule. D. It contradicts personal judgment.
29. What does the underlined word “arbitrary” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Random. B. Extended. C. Realistic. D. Careful.
30. According to the text, how can we avoid falling victim to Parkinson’s Law
A. Focusing on the amount of time available.
B. Shortening the estimated time to finish each task.
C. Making flexible deadlines.
D. Keeping busy to fill in workdays.
31. What would be the intention of the text
A. To promote more efficient task management.
B. To criticize some wrong practice.
C. To define Parkinson’s Law.
D. To suggest a self-disciplined lifestyle.
D
“I was not exceptional at all,” Claudia Goldin once told me of her time as an economics PhD student at the University of Chicago. But as the course progressed, she said, “I felt like lightbulbs were going on in my head.” On October 9 the brightness of those lights was confirmed, as she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”.
Goldin found men relatively dull, at least as a topic of study. Their labour was uniform compared to that of women, who might switch between caring for children, toiling(辛苦工作)in the family businesses or sweating somewhere else. But this complexity was harder to measure. According to America’s historical statistics, for example, their occupation was often unhelpfully listed as “wife”. So Goldin set out to measure their work properly.
The standard pattern of development was once that as countries got richer, women were pulled into the labour market. But by painstakingly stitching together different data sets, Goldin established that America’s path was more complicated, and that growth in the 1800s coincided with women moving away from work other than domestic labour.
Why For a start, factory jobs were harder to combine with childcare than, say, sewing at home. And richer families could afford to spare women the indignity of toil. Goldin argued that stigma(污名) reinforced this, or the idea that “only a husband who is lazy and neglectful of his family would allow his wife to do such labour.” Later the stigma faded—the office clerk job of the 20th century was easier, and consistent with the impression of a supportive spouse. With the arrival of tight labour markets in the 1950s, discriminatory policies against hiring married women were virtually abandoned.
Today, women still work and earn less than men. As social norms have shifted and real barriers have fallen, Goldin says that most of the remaining gender gaps facing college-educated women are due to something else. So-called “greedy jobs” reward round-the-clock work and are conflicting with being on call for children. Perhaps men should also share the family burden and allow their partners to be more professionally involved instead.
32. How does Claudia Goldin find women’s domestic labour
A. Complicated to understand. B. Tricky to assess.
C. Less changeable than men’s work. D. More valuable than men’s career.
33. Which of the following is the case for American women in the 1800s
A. They took an active part in workforce.
B. They were comfortable enough not to work.
C. They stood a good chance in office jobs.
D. They were still stuck in household chores.
34. Why does the author mention “greedy jobs” in paragraph 5
A. To explain the current gender gaps.
B. To introduce the employee reward system.
C. To call on men to stay at home.
D. To expose the greedy nature of capitalists.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Gender Pay Gap Research Wins the Nobel Prize in Economics
B. How Goldin Transformed Our Understanding of Women’s Work
C. Women’s Century-Long Journey Toward Equality
D. Do Greedy Jobs Cause the Gender Pay Inequality

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers massive and long-term physical and mental benefits. 36 A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.
37 You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. 38 Even when you walk down a busy street, you can’t help but get distracted by the sweet smells from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you haven’t even noticed before.
Walking outside cultivates our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels. 39 Research has shown that immersion in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors 40 For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.
Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.
B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.
C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.
D. Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create.
E. But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest.
F. This habit, however, isn’t just a beneficial pursuit but an element of innovation.
G. Alternatively, you can wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing.

An extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first thing that comes to mind to help overcome a mental health condition. However, that is 41 what enabled Nikita Ducarroz to fight her fears.
As a child, Ducarroz spent every 42 moment on the soccer field. But at 13, the talented athlete began to suffer from 43 anxiety attacks that made it hard for her to leave home.

The 26-year-old is now one of the world’s best female BMX freestylers. Ducarroz now has her 51 set on the 2024 Paris Olympics. She says, “My goal in Paris is another medal. I can get that done with the training.”
Though she still suffers occasional 52 attacks, Ducarroz now knows how to manage them. To help others with mental health conditions, Ducarroz has started an Instagram page called MindTricks. It is where people discuss their fears 53 .
“MindTricks started because of my own 54 that I was making on Instagram about mental health,” she explained. “And I thought, ‘Why don’t we create a place where others can do the same, a central spot where everyone can read about these stories and also feel 55 to share their own stories ’”

Mike, aged 14, was a music fan, especially a fan for violin. He expected to be a music star one day. Unfortunately, born into a poor family depending on delivering newspapers and milk, he couldn’t afford a violin. He had thought of asking his parents to pay for one but finally he abandoned possessing the impossible musical instrument.
Mike’s neighbor, Joseph, happened to be a violinist. The greatest pleasure Mike found after school every day was enjoying the beautiful melodies floating out of Joseph’s window. Not until dark did Mike sneak into his own room. And every time Mike’s mother asked him why he came home late, Mike would say he was lost in music.
“Why not spend more time in your lessons instead, sweetheart After all, music can’t make money if you’re not so famous.” In order to prove he could realise his dream, he knew he must have his own violin and practise more.
Mike found a job at a nearby church, running errands for the servicemen. One day, another music player happened to learn about Mike’s situation and offered him an old violin as a gift. He even promised to teach him how to play after church services at the weekends. Months later, Mike learned violin very well.
The first performance he made was on the roadside of a lonely street. From time to time passersby stopped to watch him play. And a few even left some coins in his hat lying on the ground. When it was time for Mike to go back, he heard a woman’s cry. Following the sound, Mike spotted her and discovered the truth that she was called Connie, a trainee in a cafeteria, and that she had just had an awful day at work and was yelled by the boss.

第一节
【参考范文】
Dear sir or madam,
I am writing to recommend myself to be one of the English volunteers of the 19th Asian Games with the reasons as follows:
To begin with, I am a high-school student, who has obtained considerable English proficiency both in writing and speaking through more than a decade’s learning; second, enthusiastic and outgoing, I myself am a young man always ready to offer hands to others.
Lucky enough to be selected, I would be more than delighted to work as a crew in the service department providing guidance or sharing interesting stories behind the delicious Chinese food.
I would be extremely grateful if I am honored to be given the opportunity!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
Hesitatingly, Mike tried to lend her a hand though he was yet uncertain how to comfort someone. Suddenly, an idea struck him when his eyes fell on the hat. “Those coins should be enough for a bouquet of flowers,” Mike murmured. The next minutes found him running towards a flower shop nearby and coming back with a bouquet of red roses. “Hi, Connie! I know you are moody today, but I guess the roses might cheer you up,” Mike said. Roses in hands, Connie smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Mike!” Connie later learned about Mike’s story and was impressed by his dream.
Connie told Mike a violinist happened to be wanted in the cafeteria where she worked. “Really ! I appreciate the chance!” Mike exclaimed excitedly. The next day, Mike passed the job interview successfully. In the later months, Mike continued to learn and performed better and better. He was able to earn tips in the cafe as much as 50 dollars a night. Not only did Mike help support his family but he was better received in the musical world. Though he lacked skills and practice, Mike felt he was moving closer to his dream day by day.

Text 10
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, and it covers an area of 27 million square miles. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, about 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13% and Colombia with 10%. (17) (18) It is said to be around fifty-five million years old. More than 30 million people of 350different ethnic groups live in the Amazon. Here, people can find one in ten of the known plant and animal species on the earth. Many insects, birds, and plants still haven’t been discovered. Many of these die out every day. This is partly due to the extreme weather, but it mostly has to do with the effects human beings have had on the natural environment.(19) The Amazon sustains life by providing clean water, life-saving medicines and forest products.
Unfortunately, humans are destroying parts of the rainforest by building dams and mines and cutting down trees.
Scientists are worrying that if this continues, they may not discover any new forms of medicine, which have always been treatments for diseases. (20) We depend on a healthy Amazon so we should protect it together.
