Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014,a friend inspired him to perform an act of kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that kind or attention At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question,and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—— ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a football game.
Seniors can nominate(提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated her partner,78-year-old Victor, to go rock hounding-a hobby he'd given up when he became physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that's purposeful— the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’ re trying to create.”
29. Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness
A. She lived alone and could hardly cook. B. She had difficulty in using social media.
C. She was always friendly to the neighbors.D. She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
30. Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY
A. A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B. An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time
C. A senior high. student looking forward to a trip to England.
D. A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
31. What does the underlined word“retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. regained B. reserved C. remembered D. resolved
32. What is the pair's purpose of recording the WAY wishes
A. To keep track of the whole process. B. To give encouragement to those in need.
C. To invite more elderly to participate in. D. To inspire more viewers to take action.
C
In mainland Britain, people who has ever attempted to grow berries or nuts—— or indeed feed the bird— will know, doing so is identical to an opening move in a game of chess with local grey squirrels, a game the squirrels tend to win. Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird's eggs or the young birds, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broadleaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and the landscape,harms the wood industry. The loss—— in damaged timber, lost carbon revenue and tree replacements— is not insignificant.
Grey squirrels, introduced from North America in 1876, have nearly replaced the native red squirrels in Britain by outcompeting them for food and habitat. They are larger, and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. About 3 million now live in the UK; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the grey squirrel among the top 100 most harmful invasive species in the world.
In Britain, significant efforts have been made to stop grey squirrels' progress, including trapping,shooting, and releasing pine martens into their habitats. The latest move,a workable system for which was thought to be a decade away, is forbidding the breeding of grey squirrels. However, legal challenges brought so many delays that the invasive grey squirrels' population expanded to an unmanageable level and wiping out was abandoned. The main issue in Britain was thought to be mōre technological than legal —— designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent them breeding.Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey females are born unable to give birth.
… Obviously, there is a hint of xenophobia(仇外) in some discussions about the introduction of grey squirrels to Britain nearly 150 years ago which has had an impact on the local ecosystem, posing a threat to native species. It's also worth noting that reds —— which also tear bark and take eggs——were seen as pests until the early 1930s, and extensively killed. There is, too, a strong argument that ecosystems evolve naturally, and it may be impractical and unrealistic to intervenes or even resist it.The attraction of controlling the breeding of the grey squirrels is that it is less inhumane. and aims for balance rather than uprooting.
33. What does the author focus on in paragraph one
A. The harm of grey squirrels.
B. The cutting habits of grey squirrels.
C. The effect of grey squirrels on the wood industry.
D. The game between the British and grey squirrels.
34. What led to the victory of grey squirrels over red squirrels
A. Their huge number. B. Their unique origins.
C. Their breeding ability. D. Their physical qualities.
35. What approach is preferred in Britain to control grey squirrels' population
A. To offer more labour. B. To invest more money.
C. To perfect the law. D. To take advantage of technology.
36. What is the author's attitude to controlling the breeding of grey squirrels
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable : D: Doubtful.
D
When I stepped into my sister's house,I could feel the tension among the family members. My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents and, in their mind, parents are supposed to be extremely tight on kids' money.
As raised in a traditional way, we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period, with everything arranged. The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy(自主). This mindset implies that if you just follow the parents plan, seemingly you succeed m managing your money. Still, each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keep popping up.
Having financial literacy, however, have more benefits than expected. At best, teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions. Ever at worst, the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips.
True financial literacy isn't simply about carrying out a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making wise choices. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained. With Air Jordan shoes ahead, the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts. Budgeting, planning for your expenses, help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations.
Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses, it is time to consider upgrading. However, teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without enough supervision and support. After all, financial autonomy comes with responsibilities.
37. What is the function of mentioning the author's nephew
A. To explain a difficult concept. B. To draw a persuasive conclusion.
C. To give a reasonable prediction. D. To present a convincing example.
38. Why do we need financial literacy
A. It guarantees more control on money by parents.
B. It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas.
C. It helps generate independence and responsibilities.
D . It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt.
39. Which pair-is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes
A. Tasty dumplings and cheap stationery. B. Instant noodles and all-star game ticket.
C Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D. Latest electronic devices and rare goods.
40. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To motivate teens to have financial literacy skills.
B. To tell reasons why teens fail to manage their finance.
C. To teach teens how to spend money reasonably and wisely.
D. To analyze the pros and cons of having financial autonomy.

How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it's not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook..41 Whether it is a plate, a glass,a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.

Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as i: looks
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 43
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 44 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的) appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 45 Cimilar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A. It starts with your sight.
B. But the result of dark plates can vary a littles
C. However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D. Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E. Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F Thetableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G. So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.
