Lynn is the publisher of Indiana Living Green magazine, a local Indiana-based publication focusing on all issues related to leading a sustainable lifestyle. Her knowledge, passion and unwavering dedication to this cause are both inspiring and admirable and are the reasons I nominate her for the Heart of Green Local Hero.
Lynn's interest in sustainable living has expanded over the years from simple recycling and wildlife gardening to encouraging others to appreciate nature and do what each can to protect the environment. The creation of Indiana Living Green comes from her belief that most individuals have an inner desire to do what is best for our environment and that each individual act truly does make a difference.
Lynn has been instrumental in bringing her green consciousness to Indiana by way of Indiana Living Green magazine over the past two years. Indiana Living Green is the only local publication solely focused on green living and sustainability. In addition, Lynn’s pioneering efforts also provide public educational forums via "Green Scenes" — a series of three hour events, each focusing on specific topics teaching Hoosiers how to lead greener lifestyles. She is a sought-after speaker, delivering topics such as "Greening Your Outdoor Space," "Updating Your Home to Green" and "Greening Your Lifestyle" to various businesses and organizations throughout Central Indiana.

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.
“The letters？”
“I guess you never knew.”
“Knew what？”
“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ________.
A. great chances to help other people
B. happy occasions to play with baby chickens
C. exciting experiences with a lot of fun
D. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies

【江苏省苏锡常镇四市2014模拟调研】
In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.
Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions（暂被停学）．A Black
public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as
likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.
So I applaud the U．S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to
address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile（青少年)justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.
These resources, officially known as "guidance," will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.
While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular
nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excluded
Black students and are of questionable educational value including "zero tolerance" discipline
policies which require mandatory（强制的）consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.
Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.
67. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’education.
B ．Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
C ．The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.
D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
68．The guidance issued by the . Departments of Education and Justice may＿．
A. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses
B ．prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence
C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year
D ．punish Black children for dropping out of school
69. According to the passage, the "zero tolerance" discipline policies＿·
A. have questionable consequences
B ．are prohibited by the guidance
C ．prevent Black children from being absent from school
D. were considered discriminatory when they were released
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Criticism of the Education System B. Steps Forward on School Discipline
C ．Suggestions on the Civil Rights Act D. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement
67—70、AAAB

【2014陕西省商南县高级中学高三上二模】
Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position? There’s reason for saying this. In 2012, the reality talent show , the voice of China, on the Zhejiang Television became the most popular program in China.
The reaon for its popularity was really because its excellent quality? Or can we assume that without any opponent（对手）, we can’t tell a contestant（参赛者） is winning because he is really talented or because there’s no comparison?
The administrative department really contributed a lot in the popularity of the voice of China. In the past, there was no other draft shows(选秀节目) ranked as high as Super Girl and Super Boy. Even though there were some draft shows which seemed to share the popularity, it never turned out true. All the other draft shows were shodowed by the ones on Hunan TV. One example was that since draft shows of Hunan TV were broadcast on Friday night, the draft shows of other stations were shifted to Saturday or Sunday. However, Hunan TV didn’t get their permission for broadcasting shows in 2012.
And if this were not bad enough, SARFT did a great favor for it. SARFT issued a regulation, saying that all draft shows should be broadcast after 10:30 pm at night. Zhejiang TV declared long before the regulation that since was “no audition(海选)， no PK, no rise in rank, no voting, no champion”, its program was never a draft show. So, in 2012, all the opponents of Zhejiang TV had to broadcast their draft shows after 10:30 pm while the voice of China was permitted to be broadcast in prime time.
If you really think about it, there’s no esential different between a draft show and the voice of China. It also selected people from all over the country, how did they say this were different from a draft show? No PK,really? PK doesn’t mean one versus one！ A team versus a team is called PK too. And “no rise in rank?” is just a switch of concepts because at the end of every game, some left the stage and some stayed. If there was really “no champion”, how come there was only one “good voice of China” at the final round? All these were rising in rank, in disguise(隐性).
Under such cimcumstance, the voice of China even got praise. We are not saying that it is not a good show: we are saying that there’s regret about the show since it had no opponent.
58. The following factors are important in making the voice of China popular EXCEPT ______.
A. the unique quality of the voice of China
B. the policy support from SARFT and the administrative department
C. the favorable broadcasting time.
D. the shortage of good opponents
59. The passage mainly tells us ______
A. the voice of China is not a real draft show
B. the advantages of the voice of China
C. the draft shows of Hunan Satellite TV still cause our attention
D. the reasons for Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position
60. What’s the author’s attitude towards the voice of China?
A. supportive B. hopeful C. doubtful D. optimistic
