When he was 5, Nicholas Lowinger visited a homeless shelter with his mother. He was 1 to show off his new light-up sneakers. But his mom warned him against doing so, 2 that these children might not have such things.
3 enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he 4 realized that they were living in circumstances that were different from his own.
“I saw other kids who looked just like me. The only 5 was that they were wearing 6 shoes that were falling apart. Some didn’t have a pair of shoes to call their own,” said Nicholas, now 15. “I’ve been 7 to grow up in a family that is able to provide me with whatever I need. A lot of kids here in the US don’t have the same 8 .”
That first shelter 9 left a strong impression on Nicholas, who started 10 all the shoes he’d outgrown to local shelters. But he soon 11 that his donations weren’t that helpful.
“It 12 me that I only had used shoes to give to them 13 new shoes that fit right,” he said. “No two people’s feet are exactly the same, and 14 you are wearing someone else’s worn shoes, your feet aren’t going to be comfortable.”
So at the age of 12, Nicholas started a program that donates 15 shoes to homeless children. 16 , his efforts were part of a community service project.

A
Feet help us walk, run, dance, and jump. The words feet and foot are also used in everyday speech.
To be under someone’s feet means to be troublesome. In other words, you are standing too close to someone and are getting in their way. Some adults criticize children for being under foot.
Speaking of children, if someone says their home will soon have the pitter-patter of tiny feet, it means the family is expecting a baby!
Now, people who are active do not let grass grow under their feet. They are never in one place for very long. People who can think and take action at the same time are said to be able to think on their feet.
Some people appear to have it all. They have money, a good education, good looks, a great family and a large circle of friends. You could say they have the world at their feet. This means whatever they want seems to be there for them.
People who have both feet firmly on the ground are realistic and practical. They are not dreamy. You might say such a person is well grounded. If you are a bad dancer, you might be described as having two left feet. To dance well, it is better to have a right foot and a left foot.
Sam loves skiing. He thinks that it would be fun to own a ski resort (滑雪场)high in the mountains. But he knows nothing about running a business. So, he decides to get his feet wet.In other words, he wants to get used to a new situation.
He joins an organization for resort owners and attends their meetings. He travels to ski areas all over the United States. This helps Sam get his foot in the door. Having a foot in the door is a starting point. This expression comes from people selling things door-to-door. They would block the door with their foot so people couldn't close the door on them.
21. Which of the following describes people who keep moving about
A. They are always under foot. B. They can think on their feet.
C. They have the pitter-patter of tiny feet. D. They never let grass grow under their feet.
22. What should you try to avoid if you want to succeed in doing something
A. Having two left feet. B. Getting your feet wet.

Traveling around the world is cool but paying for it is not. There is a choice-doing house sitting jobs, including walking a dog, cleaning kitty litter and milking cows. It’s a win-win, says Maureen Murphy，who spends 95 percent of her time staying in other people’s houses.
Although she has a mailbox in Texas，Murphy is rarely there. She is a professor at the University of Maryland but she teaches online. One of her requirements is that wherever she goes，it depends on the Internet connection.
“My life is a big adventure”，Murphy said.“I never stay anywhere too long. I am going to my next learning experience，and meet the wonderful people of the world.”
Murphy began her travel in 2010 and has done many house sitting jobs. She milked a cow in the Blue Mountains. She saw the penguins on Phillip Island and took a helicopter tour above the Twelve Apostles. She also watched the fireworks from a boat in the harbor near the Opera House on New Year's Eve in Sydney.
“In Fiji I took a trip to Mantaray Island Resort where I swam with a manta. It was the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime，”she says.
Some homeowners need sitters to care for only their houses, do simple tasks like collecting mail and watering plants. Others want people to live in their homes to make it easier to take care of their pets. So traveling by doing sitting jobs has become a trend.
Trustedhousesitters has members in more than 130 countries. New sitters are encouraged to start out locally，because it gives them the chance to explore a new part of their local area，spokesman Liam Beauchamp-Jones says.
And for the sitters，the advantages are numerous. Murphy adds，“Going to new places, trying new food, exploring and touring and of course, meeting new people!”

The hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of life, walking back and forth from the ideal to reality, and the inner confusion hidden behind a social mask-these daily experiences are recorded by Chinese youths in lines of poetry online. Recently, 124 Bilibili internet users shared their works in a poem collection.
One blogger on Xiaohongshu who goes by the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty-something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises(即兴创作)poems for others at night markets in Yunnan. As a street-stall poet, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes from customers. Once the poem has been completed, she refuses to change her work because she feels her poems reflect her first reaction. For her, everything in the world, no matter trivial or significant, can serve as her poetic inspiration. “A glass, a tree in the dawn or a person who once talked with me…these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.
With free writing with a regular rhythm and broad themes, her poems attract many young people online, helping her gain over 190, 000 followers. Many have made comments “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”
Apart from poetry, various means such as vlogging and photosharing can be used to record moments of daily life. But young people consider poetry to be the best way to express them. “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty of daily life, ”an 18-year-old said. So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the boy writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments.

In the office of remote sensing(遥感） scientist Liu Shaochuang, there is a huge photograph of a camel he snapped a decade ago in Xinjiang. He crouched for hours by a pool of water in the Gobi Desert to capture the image.
Since 2012, he has led a team in tracking and studying wild camels using satellite remote sensing technology.
Unlike zoologists who focus on species, Liu has studied the interrelationship between endangered animals and their environment, which he believes will help develop better protection strategies in the face of climate change.
His interest in wild camels began when his team tested a prototype(雏形)design of the lunar rover Yutu in the desert. Living in the harsh deserts in northwestern China and southwestern Mongolia, camels are listed as critically endangered animals. Experts estimate that the population of this species is currently less than 1, 000, of which around 650 are in China.
“Ten years ago, the research depended only on human observation, which was very primitive(原始的）, ”Liu says. Because camels are fully migratory（迁徙） and can travel over long distances, scientists used to learn their habits by studying hoof prints and droppings. It was hard to find one camel in the desert, let alone track it. But Liu thought his expertise in satellite navigation(导航)and remote sensing might come in useful in the study of wild camels.
It was not easy at first. Liu learned zoology from scratch. His team had to spend several weeks each year braving dust and sandstorms in the vastness of the Gobi Desert seeking out camels. A scar on his right eyebrow is the result of a rollover accident on a rugged mountain road in Xinjiang.
“The most exciting moment was attaching a satellite positioning collar to a wild camel. ”The tracking collar, equipped with special receivers, weighs only a few hundred grams. It can detach automatically（自动分离） and will not have a negative impact on the daily lives of the animals. The locations of the tracked animals are transmitted via satellite every day. Based on the data, scientists can get to know their migratory paths, living environments and possible threats they may meet with.
For Liu, it is worth the significant sci-tech effort to study such a rare species. He adds wildlife protection and research will become more precise and efficient with the help of technology.
32．What was it that made tracking wild camels difficult
A．The number of camels experienced a sharp decline.
B．Massive migration made camels cover huge distances.
C．Primitive tools were used in human observation.
D．Hoof prints and droppings were never to be seen.
33．What can be inferred from the scar on his right eyebrow
A．His carelessness in carrying out his research.
B．His inexperience at the very beginning of his work.
C．The hard conditions under which he worked.
D．The stress he met with in his work.
34．What does paragraph 7 mainly focus on
A．The formation of the tracking collar. B．The definition of the tracking collar.
C．The importance of the tracking collar. D．The function of the tracking collar.
35．Which of the following can best describe Liu Shaochuang
A．Generous and ambitious. B．Confident and grateful.
C．Creative and determined. D．Optimistic and modest.

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that a positive heart brought a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 46 had such a big influence on a person. But now, although I’m just a high school student, I’d like 47 (express) my own opinions on this saying.
Once I read a sentence ——“To make this world 48 happy place to live, you’d better change yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me lost in thought. There are so many things around us that go against our wishes. We can’t force life to follow our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter 49 we accept it or not. What we can do is just to make 50 (us) suit the world. I think we should learn to warmly welcome what life gives us and try to get 51 (please) from it.
I have tried to catch every pleasant thing in my life, but I can’t catch most of the pleasant moments, such 52 being hugged by my mother when in fear, being cheered by the teacher when in trouble, being helped by 53 (strange) when in danger . It is more likely that they pass by 54 (quiet). I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Different people may have different attitudes towards life. But there is one rule that should 55 (follow)—and that is to make this world better.
