Students Raise Money for Baseball Team
Two years ago, high school students Michael Pinsky and David Connor read an article in a newspaper about a school in Harlem, a neighborhood in New York City. The school had a baseball team, but no money to buy the baseball equipment.
Michael and David had an idea. They decided to help the team get money for the equipment they needed. So the two boys started a project to raise money for the baseball team. They called the project “Home Runs for Harlem.” They placed boxes in stores to collect money for the team and sold bracelets (手镯；手链) with the words “Home Runs for Harlem” on them. Their plan was to collect money to support the team.
Michael and David’s project was a great success. They raised over $9,000. The team bought the equipment they needed: gloves, baseballs, and bats. The school also used some of the money to pay a baseball coach.
After the school in Harlem received the money, Michael and David spoke to the students at the school, and David explained why this was a dream come true. “It’s not just about me,” he says. “It’s for other people. It’s for the community.”
“I just hope they have a fun time playing baseball, and if they can have the equipment, then that just helps out,” says David. David and Michael now plan to raise money for other baseball teams in Harlem.
For their passionate and inspiring efforts to support school baseball programs, the two teenagers were New Yorkers of the Week on one of New York’s news stations.

On Nov. 11, an Australia jockey got hurt after his horse “broke down” during a horse race in Hong Kong. Though the jockey is safe now, his horse is not so lucky. Since the horse’s leg injury would lead to its death, vets killed it in front of audience on the spot.
Falling off a horse at high speed has a big risk of injury. You can say it’s the jockey’s choice to take part in the sport. But what about the horses
This is not the first time that animals have been harmed because of animal entertainment-related sports. For example, about 180,000 bulls are killed in bullfights around the world, with many more injured in bullfight events every year, according to Human Society International, an organization improving the human-animal relationship globally. Hunters shoot more than 800 lions in South Africa.
To help these animals, animal lovers have started many campaigns, which seem to be taking effect. In June, Churchill Downs, the site of the famous Kentucky Derby in the US, stopped all horse racing which was to run to July 3. Circuses (马戏团) using animals have been banned (禁止) by many countries around the world in recent years due to animal welfare worries, according to the website Four Paws.
Animals play an important part in our lives and are more than tools for sports and entertainment. The human-animal bond can be seen in all kinds of places. Service animals can help people in their jobs and animals are also used to help and care for people with illnesses and who have experienced abuse (虐待).
“We can have our sports, drinks, lively parties, and beautiful hats but we can leave the animals out of it.” reported Vox.
27．From Paragraph 3, we know that _____.
A．animals are hurt or even die in animal entertainment
B．many people hunt wild animals for fun or personal use
C．animal entertainment-related sports are popular
D．the number of bulls and lions goes down quickly
28．What is the opinion of the website Four Paws
A．Horses have been banned from participating in races in many countries.
B．Animal welfare concerns are helpful to stop using animals for fun and sports.
C．Circuses using animals and animal-related sports are popular for entertainment.
D．Bullfights should be banned and bulls can help people in their jobs and life.
29．According to Vox, animal entertainment-related sports are _____.
A．exciting B．necessary C．avoidable D．meaningless
D
Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media. We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends’ lives or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence if we don’t use it properly, social media has done more good than harm.
The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. With social media, friendship goes beyond geography. We’re able to find friends old and new. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face. Are you shy If yes, social media has probably helped.
Social media is also ideal (理想的) for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content (内容) creator. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident sometimes. A study published by the Public Library of Science, found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness; it simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media ... We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.
30．What can we learn about social media from the passage
A．We use social media to only record our best side.
B．We can use social media to find out the shiest friends.
C．Social media can help people connect with others more easily.
D．Everyone can be a reporter in the Public Library of Science.
31．The word “distorted” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A．clear B．different C．simple D. incorrect
32．Which picture shows the structure (结构) of the passage (①=Paragraph 1, ...)
33．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A． Social Media: To Create Or Not To Create
B．Social Media: Our Friend Or Enemy
C．Social Media: Connecting the World
D．Social Media: Making Yourself Heard

Do you like poems What do you know about bamboo Let’s read the poem Bamboo in the Rock by Chinese poet Zheng Xie.
竹石
(郑燮)
咬定青山不放松，立根原在破岩中。
千磨万击还坚劲，任尔东西南北风。
Bamboo in the Rock
(By Zheng Xie)
Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep,
Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep.
It’s strong and firm though struck and beaten without rest,
Careless of the wind from north or south; east or west.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
“Bamboo in the Rock,” is a Chinese poem by a man named Zheng Xie, often called Zheng Banqiao. He was born in 1693. Besides being a great artist and poet, Zheng was also a government worker during a time in China called the Qing Dynasty. He didn’t like the unfair things he saw happening in the government, so he started making art and writing poems about things like bamboo, which were easy to understand but had deep meanings.
His poem paints a picture of bamboo growing strong even though it’s in a tough spot, squeezed within rocks on a mountain. No matter what difficulties the bamboo faces, like bad weather hitting it from every side, it keeps standing up straight. The bamboo is a symbol of strength and determination because it remains firm and doesn’t break under pressure.
The poem is full of beautiful words about nature, but it’s also there to teach us something important just like the bamboo, people should stay strong and focused even when life is challenging. By facing hard times, we can build our inner strength, just like the strong bamboo.
Young people can learn a lot from this poem because it shows them the importance of staying strong and determined, even when things get tough. The poem reminds teenagers that tests and difficulties can help them grow even stronger. It is an inspiring message for them to remain brave during hard times and never give up, just like bamboo standing tall among the challenges.
34．What’s the name of the poem
35．Why is the bamboo a symbol of strength and determination
