“Mommy!”I called over my shoulder. “Grace is here!” Our neighbor, Grace, stood on our
front door holding a cardboard box.
It took Mom a few minutes to get to the front door. At forty-two, her health wasn’t good.
She smiled at our next-door neighbor. “Come in and have a cup of coffee.” “I can’t stay,
Nancy,” Grace answered. “I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get
more at those giveaways than we can use.” I felt relieved that Grace couldn’t stay. She was
friendly enough, but she and her husband drank a lot and they were given to loud arguments
late at night. Sometimes, the police had to come and break up the fights. I was a little
frightened of them. Grace placed the box on the kitchen table. Mom, who was not the
sentimental type, got tears in her eyes.“Grace! We can’t take this.”
Dad wandered in from the bedroom where he had been napping. He wasn’t dealing very
well with the unemployment at the processing plant. “We don’t accept charity,” he said. “Now,
Jim,” said Grace, “this is no time for your pride. You have two little girls and a sick wife to
think of. This isn’t charity. It’s one neighbor helping another.” I stood a little distance from the
grownups, looking into each of their faces, wondering what was going to happen next. “I thank
you kindly,” Dad said at last.
When she was gone, we examined the contents of the box. It wasn’t what we were used to.
Mom smiled and said, “This will get us through for a couple of weeks.” The gesture from
Grace confused me because she wasn’t family, or close friends with us. Even though I didn’t
like most of the food in that box, I knew there was something significant about this woman’s
generosity. She didn’t have much to give, but she gave what she had at a time when our family
needed help.
24. Why did Grace come to pay a visit to the family
A. She delivered the leftovers to the family.
B. She brought food to the neighbor in need.
C. She apologized for making noises late at night.
D. She wanted to change the impression made on neighbors.
25. What do we know about the writer’s family
A. It went through a huge loss.
B. It struggled against a great change.
C. It experienced pressure of life survival.
D. It was talked about in the neighbourhood.
26. Which of the following best describes Grace
A. Generous and anxious. B. Kind and grateful.
C. Friendly and curious. D. Warmhearted and considerate.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A neighbor’s helping hand. B. The friendship between two families.
C. A struggling family seeking hope. D. Food sharing in the neighborhood.

Bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem, but the move by the Sherrard
School in California, to set equipment inside toilets to catch bullying incidents is getting a lot
of attention.
The school has put up a campus alarm system in sensitive places such as toilets that
employs voice recognition and sensitive word activation, so that if someone is being bullied,
the system can alert members of staff by sending specific signals. The system uses artificial
intelligence for voice recognition, but its effectiveness doesn't depend only on these
technologies. More important than the technology are the members of the school staff that are
arranged to respond quickly and effectively to the warning calls.
Basically, technology serves as a way of reporting instances of bullying to the school
authorities. What is truly noteworthy is the authorities’ realization that timely intervention is
required to stop bullying. In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and
the administrators have overlooked early warning signs. And this can, at times, prove fatal. For
instance, in a recent tragic case in Indiana, three junior school students plotted and took the life
of their 10-year-old classmate. If the school had paid closer attention to the bullying, the
tragedy could perhaps have been prevented.
Returning to the system in California, should it prove effective, relevant government
bodies can consider applying similar mechanisms in other schools to hold back bullying on
campus. However, it is significant for them to bear in mind that it is human action, not just
technology, that can help address this universal issue. Technology can definitely serve as a vital
tool, but it is the human element — attentiveness, care, and timely intervention — that
ultimately holds the key to creating a safer environment for all students.
28. How does the campus alarm system at Sherrard School work
A. It uses artificial intelligence to identify figures in the toilets.
B. It allows students to activate an alarm through a physical button.
C. It functions by using direct observation within the toilet facilities.
D. It operates by listening for key words and using voice recognition.
29. What is the problem in stopping bullying according to paragraph 3
A. The lack of technology in schools.
B. The inability of students to report bullying.
C. The failure to recognize early warning signs.
D. The absence of approaches to defining bullying.
30. Why the case in Indiana is mentioned in this passage
A. To show bullying is getting worse and worse.
B. To present middle school students are in danger.
C. To stress closer human attention should be paid.
D. To answer why school bullying is uncontrollable.
31. What’s the writing purpose of this passage
5
{#{QQABYYwUogAoAJIAAQhCAQ1aCgOQkAGACYgGxAAMoAAAwQFABAA=}#}
A. To argue creating a safer environment for students is important.
B. To explain humans can do more than technology to stop bullying.
C. To present bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem.
D. To prove the Sherrard School sets an good example to other schools.

A budget is your plan for how you spend your money. Saving money isn't easy unless you
have a plan and stick to it. 36 .
Set Savings Goals
Defining a goal for your savings plan is the very first step. The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) promotes using SMART savings goals: specific, measurable,
attainable, relevant and tailored. 37 . By setting SMART financial goals that are a good fit
for your personal finances, you are more likely to keep up with the plan and succeed.
38
Overspending is scary for many savers and spenders, but getting weekly spending down
on paper can be enlightening and uncover opportunities to save an amount of money right away.
Check out the CFPB's spending tracker that automatically sums expense categories and
highlights spending limits, helping you stay in control of your money.
Evaluate and Cut Down Monthly Bills
39 . But you may be able to reduce some of the bills. Look for ways to upgrade to
energy-efficient appliances if your budget allows. Subscriptions and streaming services are
other areas that hide monthly expenses.
Make a Budget and Use Technology
Once you've reduced expenses and identified your savings goal, a budget is key to start
saving. 40 . If you find yourself getting hit with late payment fees or insufficient funds on
your checking account, it's definitely time to address this with technology. Not only do these
fees burn lots of money when you're trying to save it, but they can also hit your credit report
and impact your credit score.
A. Track Spending Habits
B. Identify and Change Spending Habits
C. The savings goals you set must be in line with your financial situation
D. Apps and online banking working together make it easier to set up ways to save
E. There are some expenses you can't get around: shelter, food, health care and insurance
F. Setting savings goals and conducting an honest review of spending habits are significant

Dear Amy,
How’s everything going I hope this letter finds you well. I want to take a moment to write and share the fantastic music show I have enjoyed recently.
Last Saturday, a classical music show was held by the students’ union. It was a concert that focused on presenting and celebrating the rich history and depth of classical music. The performance was held in our school's auditorium, which was beautifully decorated to set the perfect ambiance for the evening. A local orchestra, dressed in elegant attire, played with such passion and precision that it was truly impressive.
As the music filled the hall, I found myself completely immersed in the beauty of the notes and the emotions they conveyed. It was a profound experience that stirred my soul and made me appreciate the depth and richness of classical music.
I wish you could have been there with me to share in this enchanting evening. Perhaps we could attend a similar event together in the future
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
