When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.”
At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, tern six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病), whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation( CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college -educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”
24. What did the author want to do at a young age?
A. Watch TV. B. Grow up quickly. C. Become wealthy. D. Help other children.
25. What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?
A. A six-year-old kid’s request. B. Her grandmother’s death of cancer.
C. Many volunteers’ inspiration. D. Other organizations’ encouragement.
26. What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A chance. B. A task. C. A life. D. An organization.
27. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Do little things to help those around them. B. Work hard to get a college education.
C. Challenge their friends to offer help. D. Do charity work whatever you are.
C
Alongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive. But it’s a lot more than that. As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote: “The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”
Nowadays, for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.
Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and you’ll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.
And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. It’s almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.
But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted. This is why World Food Day is held each year.
Take Kenya for example. This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts. The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.
This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way. But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks—European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can’t afford to pay for it themselves.
So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.
28. According to Mariette Dichristina, what has the closest relationship with us?
A. Air. B. Water. C. Food. D. Human beings.
29. What does the underlined word “foodie” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Delicious food. B. A person fond of food.
C. A social media app. D. A photo of delicious meals.
30. Who can get help from food banks?
A. Poor people in the UK. B. Poor people in Africa.
C. Starving children in Kenya. D. People in the drought-stricken.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Treat Food as a Hobby B. Time to Appreciate Food
C. Food Shortage in Some Countries D. How to Spend World Food Day
D
Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” the study’s authors wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’re taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology’ Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”
32. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”？
A. It’s soft. B. It’s made of metal.
C. It’s very small. D. It looks like an octopus.
33. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A. They’re hard to control. B. They’re too heavy to move.
C. They can’t predict conditions. D. They can’t behave well all the time.
34. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ________.
A. silicone body B. complex components
C. precise movements D. flexible power source
35. What’s the possible application of “Octobot”？
A. Medical research. B. Life rescue.
C. Machine operation. D. House cleaning.

Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?
Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. 36 The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领) weeks in advance, often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. 37
“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway,” said Richard Larson, a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior. “Once a year,” he said, “the lines are exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.” 38 Billie LeClere, 45, was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester, Iowa. She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper. But this year, she came with a specific purpose: to get a good deal on a new TV. She and her husband had recently separated, and he had taken the old TV earlier that day. “The marriage died, not the TV,” she said. 39 “It’s going to be nice to have something that’s newer-and it’s mine, not his.”
40 The following are two of the typical results. The “gotta have it” atmosphere makes people more anxious. Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent. Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的).
A. Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.
B. But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.
C. Moreover, the crowds are queuing for good deals.
D. Many families are queuing to chat with each other.
E. The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.
F. They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.
| G. The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research. |

Dear Tom,
It’s great to hear from you. I’m delighted to know you are interested in Chinese proverbs.
Chinese proverbs are summaries of people’s wisdom and experience. They are some brief and meaningful sentences created by the folks and passed on orally generation by generation.
How can you learn Chinese proverbs? Well, books about the relevant topic are available online, which may give you a more specific explanation. If you have got some proverbs, try to recite one every day or combine them with your life. You can apply them to communicating with Chinese people around you.
I sincerely hope the above can be of some help. If you want to learn more, please let me know.
Yours faithfully,
LiHua.下载本文
