Up until just over a year ago, before I became a UNICEF volunteer, I felt desperate watching the suffering of developing-world children and their mothers. Today, I feel less helpless because I’ve seen what UNICEF, agencies, churches, governments and people themselves can do.
The huge debt burden has hit the poorest hardest, especially mothers and children. We know less than 1% of the world’s economy could end the worst poverty in 10 years. The deficit is not in resources—it is in human will.
People often ask, “What do you do for UNICEF ” My task is to inform and raise awareness of children’s needs. I’m no expert in education or economics, but I am a mother who travels.
Children haunted by malnutrition face blindness and death from vitamin A deficiency. Every year, 500,000 cases occur in countries like Indonesia and Ethiopia; 200 million children risk going blind. Just 84 cents a year (two vitamin A capsules) can stop a child from losing sight.
I know UNICEF well: 45 years ago, as a war survivor, I received its aid. UNICEF helps people help themselves, letting them live in dignity. Unlike sudden disasters, poverty is slow and hidden, yet it ruins millions of lives. UNICEF’s work is about children—not economies. Young minds and bodies, shaped in the first five years, suffer permanent damage from even brief deprivation.
Children are our hope. They cannot wait for crises to pass. We must help them survive, hope and dream. Every child deserves health, tenderness and life. Thank you!
Why does Hepburn feel less helpless now
She is no longer exposed to child suffering.
She sees real change from UNICEF’s work.
She has become an expert in child welfare.
The global poverty rate has dropped sharply.
What is implied about vitamin A deficiency
It can be prevented with simple, cheap aid.
It affects only children in Asia.
It is caused by lack of clean water.
It has no effective treatment so far.
What does Hepburn blame for ongoing child poverty
Lack of global economic resources.
Insufficient human will to act.
Too many natural disasters.
Complex international debt systems.
What is the main purpose of Hepburn’s speech
To share her childhood war experience.
To call for action to help children in need.
To explain how UNICEF spends its funds.
To criticize media for ignoring poverty issues.

Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way. Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands-off thinking in a high-tech direction. Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilizing to harvest — fully automatic. The project has just succeeded with five tons of robot-grown barley (大麦).
“We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage groups of smaller, autonomous machines, ” the researchers explained. “They will go out and work in the fields, allowing the farmer to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.”
At the moment, agricultural machines — very large and heavy — can cover a lot of space quickly. But there are shortcomings. “Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops. They’re also so heavy that they’re damaging farmers’ soils,” researcher Jonathan Gill said.
Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS. Altogether, they spent less than ￡200, 000 on equipment, and used open-source technology and a drone (无人机). Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.
The team is quick to caution that they don’t want to put farmers out of work. They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery. That’s not going to be completely automatic. At least not yet.
What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists
Their dependence on nature.
Their special way of survival.
Their selfless love for the earth.
Their natural involvement in farming.
What advantage of Gill’s equipment is introduced in Para. 4
Freeing workers totally.
Reducing the cost of harvest.
Improving the accuracy of farming.
Increasing the output of different crops.
What can we infer from the last paragraph
Gill’s project is still at the design stage.
Unemployment wouldn’t be a concern.
The brewery will realize automation soon.
Complete automatic farming is unrealistic.
Which of the following would be the best title for the text
The future of hands-free farming
The functions of agricultural machines
The development of automatic harvest
The shortcomings of traditional farming
D
Pocket gophers (囊鼠) spend most of their lifetime alone, digging underground. Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground.
Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根) they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent.
To understand how else these animals get enough roots to survive, Francis Putz, a professor at the University of Florida, and the student researcher Veronica Selden looked at the behavior of gophers in northern Florida. They observed that, in the dark and wet tunnels the gophers had dug, new and soft roots grew fast.
The gophers seem to be actively looking after the roots like farmers, the scientists say. They create the perfect wet environment for roots and causing soil aeration (透气) by loosening the ground in which plants grow in the first place. Importantly, the gophers spread waste throughout the tunnels, which makes the roots grow more successfully. This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas.
The study found that the gophers’ daily harvest of root crops can supply from 21 to 62 percent of their calorie needs. “They have these long tunnels that cannot be explained,” Putz says. So why do it If it’s not to “farm food”, he says, “I can’t think of any other reason.”
But some researchers wonder if “farming” is a right term for the gophers’ activities. “To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.”
32. What can be learned about the species of gophers
A. They exist all across America. B. They are highly social animals.
C. They mainly live underground. D. They dig tunnels 500 feet deep.
33. What do the researchers say about the roots gophers meet while digging
A. They are as hard as rocks for gophers to eat.
B. They make digging work more effort-taking.
C. They are perfect home locations for gophers.
D. They cannot meet gophers’ needs for energy.
34. What did the researchers find out about the gophers in Florida
A. They prefer building tunnels in dry conditions.
B. They try to make their tunnels as deep as possible.
C. They create a perfect environment for roots to grow.
D. They usually have fixed waste areas in their tunnels
35. What is Hersey’s attitude to Putz’s conclusion on gophers’ behavior
A. She disagrees with it. B. She is curious about it.
C. She thinks highly of it. D. She is unconcerned about it.

Lena had always been a quiet girl who struggled to make friends. At school, whenever someone tried to talk to her, her mind would racewith worries: “What if I say something wrong What if they think I’m strange ” These thoughts always made her trip over her words or give awkward replies. Once, after she accidentally gave a wrong answer in class, she heard some classmates laughing quietly. Since then, she had
become even more afraid to speak up.
One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, she noticed a small dog huddled (蜷缩) under a bush. The dog looked lost and scared, just like how she felt whenever she tried tojoin a conversation. It was shaking, wet, and alone. Lena gently approached it, and then eased into a crouch (蹲下) a few feet away.
The dog wagged (摇摆) its tail slightly and came closer. Lena noticed a blue collar hidden under its wet fur. Something about its trusting eyes made her heart ache. She decided to take it home. Her parents agreed to keep it temporarily while searching for its owner. Lena named the dog “Shadow” because it followed her everywhere, just like her own shadows of self-doubt.
As days passed, Lena noticed how naturally Shadow interacted with everyone. At the park, he would approach others with complete confidence and make friends effortlessly. Even when he made mistakes, like accidentally knocking over someone’s water bottle, his friendly tail wag would make everyone laugh with him, not at him.
Taking Shadow for walks gave Lena unexpected friendships. Emily, a girl from her class, often came to the park with her own dog. They started talking about their pets, and soon Emily became Lena’s first real friend. Through Emily, Lena met other kids and gradually found herself part of a group that would meet at the park to play with their dogs. For the first time, she felt like she belonged.

Dear Bob,
In response to your request for advice on choosing activities for the "Chinese Culture Week", I would like to recommend the Chinese traditional paper-cutting experience activity.
I recommend it mainly for the following three reasons. Initially, paper-cutting is a representative form of Chinese folk art with a history of over 1,500 years, which can help students understand the long history of Chinese culture. Additionally, it is easy to learn and requires only simple tools like paper and scissors, so all students can participate and enjoy the fun of creation. Last but not least, the finished works can be used as decorations or gifts, allowing students to take a piece of Chinese culture back home.
If you want details, please email me at lihua@. Your taking my recommendation into consideration will be highly appreciated. Keenly anticipate your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Paragraph 1:
One day, a woman carrying a "Lost Dog: Lucky" poster walked into the park. Her eyes scanned the crowd anxiously until they locked onto Shadow playing near the bench. Lena's heart sank instantly, realizing the blue collar matched the description perfectly. The woman rushed over, tears streaming down her face as she called out the name "Lucky." Shadow wagged his tail wildly and ran to her, confirming he was indeed the lost pet. Although a wave of sadness washed over Lena at the thought of losing her companion, she saw the pure joy reuniting the owner and her dog. Taking a deep breath to silence her self-doubt, Lena stepped forward and gently explained how she had found him. The woman hugged Lena tightly, expressing endless gratitude for taking such good care of Lucky.
Paragraph 2:
Lena and Emily began visiting Lucky every now and then. The woman, whose name was Mrs. Green, welcomed them warmly, insisting that Lena was part of Lucky's family too. These visits became a bridge for Lena to practice speaking without fear, as conversations flowed naturally about the dog's antics. She no longer worried about making mistakes or sounding strange; instead, she focused on the connection they shared. One sunny afternoon, while watching Lucky run freely, Lena realized that just like the dog, she had found her place. The shadows of self-doubt that once followed her everywhere had finally faded, replaced by the warm light of friendship and confidence. She knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she would never have to face them alone again.
