A Social Media Miracle
Mia, a single mom, faced a nightmare when her car broke down. With no savings and a sick child to care for, she felt hopeless. Her daughter, Lily, had been coughing hard for days, and the hospital bills were already piling up. Without any other choices, she posted on a local community group: “My car’s dead. I need to get to work and take my daughter to the doctor. Any help I’m really in a difficult time.”
She didn’t expect much, but within minutes, the post went viral (走红). Neighbors she’d never met took turns to offer rides to work, with some even writing heartwarming messages like “We’re here for you!” Mechanics (修理工) volunteered to take a look at the car for free, sharing tips on how to keep it running in the short term. A local auto shop owner, Mr. Thompson, saw the post and was deeply touched. He immediately closed his shop for an hour, drove to Mia’s house, and spent time checking the problem. To Mia’s surprise, he fixed the car’s problem on the spot (在现场) and refused to take a cent, saying, “I was once in your shoes, and others helped me out. Now it’s my turn to pay it forward.”
Messages of support flooded in. Someone sent groceries, filling Mia’s empty fridge with fresh fruits and vegetables. Another offered babysitting services, giving Mia the chance to catch up on some much-needed sleep. One elderly woman even knitted a warm scarf for Lily. She said it was the least she could do to show support. Mia was moved by the countless acts of kindness. What started as a cry for help became a powerful reminder of the strength of community in the digital age. That day, Mia learned that sometimes, sharing your problems online can open the door to a world of support, and that a community’s warmth can turn sadness into hope.
31. Why did Mia post on the local community group
A. To show off her sick daughter. B. To ask for help as her car broke down.
C. To sell her daughter’s handmade scarves. D. To find a new job in the community.
32. What can we infer about Mr. Thompson from the passage
A. He ran a car repair shop just for free help. B. He fixed Mia’s car to pet popular online.
C. He was once helped by others in difficult times. D. He closed his shop forever to help Mia.
33. What does the underlined “it” refer to
A. The act of knitting and giving the scarf. B. The offer of babysitting services.
C. The free car repaired by Mr. Thompson. D. The groceries sent to Mia’s house.
34. Which of the following help did Mia receive
A. Neighbors took turns driving her to work. B. A famous doctor treated her daughter for free.
C. The government provided a new apartment. D. A big company gave her lots of money.

Have you ever wondered how ginger cats get their bright-coloured fur Two teams of scientists in Japan and the US now think they have the answer—and it has all to do with cats’ genes (基因).
Genes are sections of DNA, a chemical that carries all the information about a living thing and its characteristics (特点). They decide things like eye and hair colour. The teams of scientists have now located the orange gene that makes ginger cats’ fur look so different from any other cats.
The scientists compared the DNA of cats with ginger fur to those that were other colours. They discovered that ginger ones have a part of DNA missing from a gene called ARHGAP36. This change makes the gene more active and it instructs the cats’ cells to produce a lighter colour which leads to ginger fur.
★ . The orange gene is carried within the X chromosome (染色体). Like all mammals (哺乳动物), male cats have an X and a Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. A female cat needs both of her parents to carry the orange gene for her to also be orange, but male cats only need their mum to have the orange gene.
Scientists from Stanford University in the US and Kyushu University in Japan worked on the study. The Japanese team raised money for the study from thousands of cat lovers. Including some school children who gave their pocket money.
36. Why are male cats more likely to be ginger
A. They have two X chromosomes. B. They only need the orange gene from their mum.
C. They get the orange gene from both parents. D. Their Y chromosome carries the orange gene.
37. What causes the lighter colour of ginger cats’ fur
A. The ARHGAP36 gene being less active.
B. A part of DNA being added to the ARHGAP36 gene.
C. The ARHGAP36 gene becoming more active.
D. The X chromosome carrying a new gene.
38. Which of the following can replace “located” in Paragraph 2
A. Missed. B. Found. C. Changed. D. Created.
39. Which of the following can be put in ________
A. The study also found out why ginger cats are more likely to be male.
B. Female orange cats are much cuter than male orange cats.
C. Scientists don’t know why there are more male orange cats.
D. The secret of orange genes only exist in mammals.
40. What might be the best title for the passage
A. The Habits of Ginger Cats. B. Different Colours of Cats Worldwide.
C. How to Train Ginger Cats D. The key to Ginger Cats’ Colour.

How Sports Keep Me Fit

Sports keep me fit in many ways. Running strengthens my heart while jumping improves my flexibility. Regular exercise also helps me sleep better at night. What’s more, sports teach me perseverance. Even when I’m tired, I learn to push forward. This attitude helps me in my studies too.
Sports are not just about fitness—they shape my character!
