MINNEAPOLIS—A 13-year-old entrepreneur（企业家）who was reported for operating a hot dog stand outside his house without a license is still in business, thanks to Minnesota officials who could have shut it down.
The Minneapolis Department of Health received a complaint this summer about the hot dog stand that Jaequan Faulkner had set up outside his home. But instead of closing down the operation, officials decided to help. "We helped Jaequan become permitted and went through some food safety techniques and procedures with him so he could operate legally and safely," said Minneapolis Health Department supervisor Ryan Krick. Besides, the staff of health department raised the money for his permit fee, which was $87.00. Daniel Huff, the environmental health director for the department, says his agency was excited to give him coaching for some business knowledge, instead of shutting down the operation.
Jaequan says he is supported widely. "I was actually kind of surprised at first, because usually I would have one person at a time help me, but then so many people came at once. Now I realize how much people enjoy it, " he added.
Jaequan began operating with a license on Monday. He started the hot dog stand with help from his uncle, who said Jaequan handles about 90 percent of the business. The teen now works four—hour days, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and spends his free time "thinking about what's next." Maybe a food cart, so he can take his operation on the road.
Jaequan said he's also thinking about donating some of earnings to charities that help people with depression.
56. According to the passage, why was Jaequan complained
A. Because he was too young. B. Because he didn't get the license.
C. Because he chose an improper location. D. Because he sold some unhealthy foods.
57. Minnesota officials did all of the followings to help the boy EXCEPT___________.
A. offering advice on food security B. helping him get the official permit
C. asking him to pay for the permit fee D. coaching him for some business knowledge
58. Which of the following can best show Jaequan's feeling to people's help
A. Grateful. B. Terrified. C. Confused. D. Doubtful.
59. What does Jaequan plan to do in the future
A. Leaving his business to his uncle. B. Expanding his business to some extent.
C. Working full time on his hot dog stand. D. Giving away all his earnings to the poor.
60. What is the main purpose of the passage

B. To call on people to donate their earnings to charities.
C. To inform people of a touching story in Minneapolis.
D. To persuade people to support Jaequan's business.

When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather（晴天）friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability .
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries, to think of ways to be helpful. He is, also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special, A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
61. If you have fair weather friends, what will happen to you
A. You will become rich.
B. You can be sure that you get real friends.
C. You will be refused when you get into trouble.
D. They will give you all that they have when you need help.
62. Which is the most important the writer thinks in choosing a friend
A. Honesty. B. Reliability. C. Understanding. D. A sense of humour.
63. What does the underlined word "down" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Cloudy. B. Unusual. C. Unhappy. D. Pleased.
64. What will a good friend do
A. He will look for faults in others. B. He will do his best to help me.
C. He likes to laugh at me. D. He is funny.
65. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. the qualities of a friend B. where to choose friends
C. how to get along with friends D. the importance of having a friend

Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests. The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musician's hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.
Hearing normally declines as people age. By 60, 10-30% of people have moderate（适度的）hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory（听觉的）processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.
Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-players. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at adults of all ages—from 18 to 91—to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians（who had played since the age of 16, were still practising and had been given formal music lessons）and 89 non-musicians（who had never played an instrument）. Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.
The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age—related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.
The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr Ralph Holme, said: "While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaigned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently."
66. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. A person aged 80 will lose 30% hearing.
B. A person aged above 60 must have bad hearing.
C. People have fewer problems with background noise.
D. People's hearing usually becomes worse when they get older.
67. What can we get from the Canadian study
A. It tested the hearing of 162 people.
B. The finding of the study wasn't published publicly.
C. Playing a musical instrument may do good to hearing.
D. Musicians were as good at picking out speech against noise as non—musicians.
68. Why don't musicians change much in their brain as they age
A. They like to take more exercise.
B. They use their hearing more and regularly.
C. They don't expose themselves to background noise.
D. They pay more attention to protecting their hearing.
69. How can we deal with hearing loss according to Dr Ralph Holme
A. Get help from musicians. B. Listen to loud music less.
C. Protect hearing properly. D. Play a musical instrument more.
70. The author wrote the passage to________.
A. entertain the readers B. advertise a musical instrument
C. complain about people's hearing loss D. inform readers of a research on hearing

阅读下面短文, 并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In March 2019, when Sara Cook first got a letter in the mail telling her that someone had paid off a large amount of her medical debt, she simply couldn't believe it. Cautiously, she called the number listed on the letter. What she learned was that this was not a scam. It was 100 percent real.
A remarkable nonprofit called RIP Medical Debt had indeed paid $5,000 toward her bills. The organization didn't take care of all the debt she'd accumulated from several back surgeries, but she was still moved by the gesture. "I felt really loved and blessed," she says, "knowing that complete strangers just did that out of the goodness of their hearts.
Craig Antico and Jerry Ashton do have good hearts. They're also former collection agents who have seen how heavy health-related debt has destroyed lives. "I never thought about all the hardship of the people who couldn't pay. Now I'm trying to find the people who need help." said Antico. They got their money from individuals and charities that support RIP's mission.
RIP researches potential receivers based on three criteria. First, they look for people who make no more than two and a half times the amount established as the federal poverty level. Then they screen for those whose debt is equal to 5 percent or more of the gross income（总收入）. Third, they look to see whether a person can pay off debts.
For the people who do qualify, RIP's help is life-changing. "After their letter, I realized that my life really wasn't so hard," says Cook, "I may never be able to work as a nurse again but I can sit at the school library and help kids read or serve up food in the soup kitchen. When people do something out of the kindness of their hearts, sometimes they may wonder: Does it really make a difference I want people to know that this has a positive impact."

Dear Chris,
How time flies! It has been a week since we parted. No words can express my thanks to you and your family for pulling me up in your house when I was having a learning tour in London. You made me feel at home by offering me great help and conveniences.
It's very considerate of you and your parents to drive me to some of the major attractions in London on the weekend before I left, for which I’ll always be grateful! We had a lot of pictures taken together, and enjoyed ourselves very much. As those pictures are precious memories of my life there, I’d appreciate it if you can send some of them to me.
By the way, I sincerely invite you and your family to visit China and I’ll be at your service.
Please remember me to your parents and I’m expecting your early reply!
Yours,
Li Jin
