Adom Appiah, is not your typical High School Junior. He has taken his volunteerism to a whole new level by starting a nonprofit charity organization called Ball4Good.
Amazingly, this innovative organization was a result of Adom’s 7th grade school assignment. At age 12, his history teacher, Mrs. Kelsea Turner, at Spartanburg Day School, had challenged her students to dedicate 20% of their class time to a service project. She suggested that they research a community need and then work independently on finding a solution. Adom was inspired.
Adom had great passion for playing sports as a soccer and basketball player. So, he naturally thought of combining sports and community support into an athletics-oriented service project. His idea was to invite athletes, leaders and celebrities to play ball games to raise money for local charities.
Ball4Good held its first Celebrity Basketball Game in 2017. He used donations received on his 13th birthday as seed money for the event. It was a huge success and raised over $70,000 for 13 local charities.
Then, Adom’s idea has transformed into a movement that is helping communities through various ways such as celebrity sport events, charity drives and fundraising. It donates raised funds to various causes affecting children, such as autism, homelessness, abuse and cancer.
If all these accomplishments about Ball4Good were not enough, the teen has also authored three motivational children’s books to inspire students to change the world and bounce back from failures. Donations from book sales have supported several charitable causes. In addition, he won a National Award (Gloria Barron for Young Heroes, 2019) that comes with a $10,000 prize for his public service efforts. Having multiple projects has not slowed Adom down, as he is currently hosting his own show called Kids Changing the World on TV.
“I try to have kids involved in every step of the way, so they can figure out how things work in the business and philanthropist world,” Adom said. He wants people to know that success starts with believing in yourself. His goal is to expand Ball4Good’s reach. He believes that by encouraging others to get involved, he’s multiplying the impact of Ball4Good.
14. What inspired Adom Appiah to start Ball4Good
A．Passion for sports and support from a community.
B．A school assignment given by his history teacher.
C．His experiences of being a soccer and basketball player.
D．Athletes, leaders and celebrities he invited to play games.
15. According to the passage, we can learn that Ball4Good .
A．aims to promote community sports
B．held its first activity with Adom’s own savings
C．helps communities simply through celebrity sport events
D．uses raised money to help children in various difficulties
16. Which of the following can best describe Adom Appiah
A．Kind and humorous. B．Generous and patient. C．Innovative and inspiring. D．Hardworking and reliable.
C
For decades, common wisdom held that how much we eat and exercise determines our weight. As researchers learned more about the human body, they discovered that what people eat plays an important role in weight gain and loss. This led to a wide range of dietary recommendations. Don’t eat fats. Avoid sugars. Eat protein at every meal.
Now researchers are discovering another factor that influences health and weight gain—when we eat. A growing body of evidence finds that the time of day when we consume calories affects weight gain and overall health.
The most recent study to support this idea was published this summer in the “Journal of Nutrition”. Data from the study came from broad questionnaires that explore the links between lifestyle, diet and disease.
Researchers found that participants who ate three meals a day and snacked between meals tended to gain weight over time, while those who ate one or two meals a day tended to lose weight. What’s more, participants who made breakfast their largest meal were less likely to be overweight compared to those who ate their largest meal at lunch or dinner. Those who ate breakfast were more likely to be a healthy weight compared to those who skipped breakfast.
The evidence on the benefits of having a big breakfast is strong enough that the American Heart Association has announced a statement that planning and timing meals and snacks is a healthier way of eating, and likely reduces the risk factors for heart disease. The statement stressed that eating breakfast is helpful in preventing diabetes.
“Meal timing may affect health due to its effect on the body’s internal clock,” said Marie Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D., an associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University in New York City. She also explained that planning meals and snacks can help prevent emotional eating. “Many people find that emotions can cause desire to eat when they are not hungry, which often leads to eating too many calories from foods that have low nutritional value,” she said.
The take-home message here is pretty clear. Breakfast truly may be the most important meal of the day. Consuming more calories in the morning and fewer as the day goes on is an effective way to keep a healthy weight.
17. The first paragraph suggests that _______.
A．exercise makes us healthy and eat more
B．if we don’t eat sugars, we will lose weight
C．we should avoid eating protein at every meal
D．dietary habits are closely related to our weight
18. Researchers found that_________.
A．having breakfast can cure diabetes
B．meal times may have an effect on health
C．snacking may reduce the risk of heart diseases
D．eating habits can cure your emotional problems
19. What do the underlined words “take-home message” in the last paragraph mean
A．Conclusion. B．Decision. C．Conversation. D．Information.
20. The writer of the passage aims to ________.
A．examine the history of breakfast development
B．stress the benefit of eating dinner and snacks
C．explain the importance of breakfast
D．promote the idea of healthy food
D
Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.
21. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear D．Uncaring.
22. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening
A．It improves focus. B．It is a waste of time. C．It can keep a body in shape. D．It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.
23. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text
A．It contributes to creativity. B．It encourages problem-solving.
C．It builds relationships between people. D．It improves people’s awareness of safety.
24. What is the best title for the text
A．How to Start a Garden B．Choose a Garden or Not
C．What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D．Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits

Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”
So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called Goose Head. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100, 000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.
After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The Goose Head Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All About Ashley”, where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I got very stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn’t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”
In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when people tell you that you can’t do it, because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”
