A
Chris Smith's early life seemed ordinary, similar to any other boy in his small-town class with a cheerful character, sports involvement, and a charming smile. However, his family encountered big trouble, due to his father's dishonest business practices.
He ended up homeless and it all began when Chris's little brother drowned, leading to his father's imprisonment and his mother's emotional shutdown. Chris found himself homeless when his mother left without notice. At 17, he relied on his newly married sister's hospitality, hoping to graduate from high school and make it on his own.
Despite challenges, a pivotal moment came from his history teacher, recognizing Chris's intelligence and warning him of potential regrets if he didn't graduate. Guidance extended further with Chris's wrestling coach, teaching him the value of hard work and teamwork over individual achievement.
For Chris, school became a retreat. He would go to the library and gym, finding inspiration in stories of underdogs overcoming odds. Graduation brought a full college scholarship, but financial struggles led to loss of funding. Determined, Chris secured grants and loans, transferring to a smaller college, and graduating in the top 10 of his class.
Undiscouraged by setbacks, Chris earned acceptance to medical school, got married, and faced a new challenge when he and his wife adopted a child in need. Applying for medical residencies, Chris aimed high, including Johns Hopkins, the No. 1 programme in the nation. To his surprise, he received the acceptance letter.
Chris, now a practising radiologist, emphasizes the importance of hard work to students, echoing the encouragement he received. His journey from homelessness to professional success illustrates the transformative power of flexibility, mentorship, and a determined commitment to one's dreams.

(2025江苏南通海安中学期中)In the 1980s, Ray Barnett worked in Uganda as a humanitarian worker. One day, a boy went to him and showed his gratitude by singing a song, which deeply touched Barnett's heart. “When I went back to Canada and people were not interested in Uganda, I remembered the small boy. I knew that if some Ugandan children could travel to the West, people would be deeply moved and would certainly want to help，” Barnett recalls. In April 1984, Barnett and a team of volunteers travelled back to Uganda to select 31 children who would become the first African Children's Choir.
In September 1984, the choir arrived in North America and achieved more throughout their tour than Barnett could imagine. They inspired audiences with their stories through music, dance and drama and raised enough funds to open a children's home in Uganda. This provided a stable environment and a quality education for the choir children and other children who needed care.
While Barnett had thought of the choir as a one-time attempt, the choir's instant popularity and the ongoing needs in Uganda convinced him to continue with choir work. In 1985, a second choir was selected from an orphanage home in Makerere, Kikoni, and the African Children's Choir began another tour. Its success meant it was able to provide for many children beyond those in the choir.
Over the next years, six more homes were established to cater for vulnerable children. A number of special literacy schools were established where the children learned how to read and write, and gained confidence and skills. The organization next established a sponsorship programme to help the children move further in their schooling.
In 1990, the African Children's Choir spread its wings and opened in Kenya. In 1994, it opened in Rwanda. In 1996, it opened another branch in South Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. Currently, the African Children's Choir is made up of 44 choirs, each with between 17—24 members, both boys and girls aged between 7—15.
5. Why did Barnett return to Uganda in 1984
A. To provide humanitarian aid to the area.
B. To search for the boy he had met before.
C. To organize a choir to help poor children.
D. To send donations from Canadians to Uganda.
6. How was the children's first performance
A. It was an unexpected hit.
B. It barely covered its costs.
C. It was an ordinary attempt.
D. It was enjoyed by orphans.
7. What can we infer about the African Children's Choir from the last two paragraphs
A. It is well-received by local parents and schools.
B. It has grown rapidly and more kids benefit from it.
C. It suffers financial difficulty and requires sponsoring.
D. It pays more attention to kids' schooling instead of music.
8. What is the text mainly about
A. A great choir brings hope to African kids.
B. Music is a bridge across different cultures.
C. The African Children's Choir changes Africa.
D. Music can shake off poverty and bring happiness.

Though technology has considerable wonderful benefits, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our addiction to technology and overall cell phone addiction is becoming too common. However powerful it is, it does have a power-off button. (9)
·Powering-down prevents the fear of missing out.
Scientifically speaking, the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has been recognized as a recently rising psychological disorder brought on by the huge increase in technology addiction. The premise(假定) is simple. (10) Within this constant stream of information, our fear of being left out continues to grow. Turning off social media and learning how to live in the moment are both important skills in this modern world.
·Powering-down promotes creation over consumption.
Essentially, most of our time is spent in one of the two categories: consuming or creating. Certainly, technology can contribute to creating. For example, this article was written (created) on a computer. But most of the time we spend in front of technology is spent consuming (playing video games, browsing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music). (11) It needs more creating. It needs your passion, your solution, and your unique contribution. Power down and begin contributing to a better world because of it.
·(12)
If we power down for a while, we can learn something about ourselves. We will learn we are far more addicted to technology than we would have guessed. But that is the nature of addiction, isn't it We can never fully realize our level of addiction until the item is out of sight. The only way to truly discover technology's controlling influence on our life is to turn it off, walk away, and sense how strong the pull is to turn it back on.
·Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you.
Our world may be changing, but the true nature of life is not. Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you. (13) The conversations are natural and authentic. And the love is real. But if we are too busy staring down at our screen, we're going to miss all of it.
A. It has a negative effect on our creativity.
B. Our world doesn't need more consuming.
C. The experiences in life will never repeat themselves.
D. The following are some important reasons to unplug.
E. Our social media are filled with everything happening all around us.
F. Powering-down helps remove unhealthy feelings of envy and loneliness.
G. Technology addiction can only be understood when the object is taken away.
