In May, 2023, Joy Kochar and 10 other students got together in Columbus Park, New York City. They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures (折纸作品) for sale. They were hoping to raise money for their school to solve a big problem that many spotted lanternflies (斑衣蜡蝉) had recently appeared in the area.
They wanted to raise $200. That was the cost of the tools the kids needed to catch spotted lanternflies. They only made about $75. So they decided to hold more activities to collect money.
Since 2014, spotted lanternflies have been seen across the eastern United States. They are harmful to many plants. State officials have encouraged people to kill spotted lanternflies.
Joy saw many spotted lanternflies in her school playground. She decided to do something, so she started a club called Squash. Its goal is to kill spotted lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined.
Joy did some research and found a plant named milkweed (马利筋). It is good food for some insects but it is toxic to spotted lanternflies. Joy thought using milkweed would be a better way to kill spotted lanternflies.
Finally, their effort paid off. They raised $197 in all. That was enough to buy milkweed.
“The effort would not have been a success without teamwork. I learned that two minds are better than one,” Joy says.
4．Why did Joy and 10 other students sell their self-made things in the park
A．To practise necessary business skills. B．To attract people’s attention to the park.
C．To save money to buy gifts for teachers. D．To get money for killing spotted lanternflies.
5．What are the lanternflies harmful to
A．Many plants. B．All living things. C．Little children. D．Old people.
6．What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Delicious. B．Harmful. C．Colourful. D．Healthy.
7．What lesson did Joy learn through the activity according to the last paragraph
A．Money is hard to make. B．Teamwork brings success.
C．Insects should be protected. D．Plants are better than chemicals.
8．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Live and learn B．Seeing is believing
C．Practice makes perfect D．Many hands make light work
