Meyer Mixdorf, 5, was a patient at the children's hospital in Missouri back in May. There he made his first mystery friend, Johnna Schindlbeck, a medical worker who works across the street.
Mcycr's mother, Liz Mixdorf, said that Meyer got brain cancer（癌症） in December 2020and was taken to the children's hospital to rcceive treatment. Five months into his treatment, Liz and her husband decided to arrange sticky notes（便利贴） in the shape of a smiley face on Meyer's window to cheer him up. They never knew that they would receive a wink face in response（回应） to their artwork a day later.
“It was a really funny and exciting activity that Meyer looked forward to,” Liz said. On Johnna's side, she had no idea who was communicating with. She thought that was just fun in the very beginning. Johnna realized her post-it friend was a patient after she saw a hospital sign on the window.
Meyer and his parents work through other characters, including Iron Man, Batman, the Minions and more. Each creative design they put on would get responses. The Mixdorf family and Jhonna Schindlbeck spent several weeks sending sticky note art to each other from their windows in May and July.
On July 13, Meyer was leaving the hospital. He even got a chance to meet Johnn a who made his days brighter. “I knew it was him as soon as I saw him and just started crying,”Johnna talked about Meyer's visit, “I think Liz and I just both had tears.”
Johnna once lost two older brothers to cancer, “That was kind of a personal connection for me. I really feel for him and his family because I know what it feels like to have to walk away at the end of the day and you're just depending on the hospital staff's care. Kindness does go a long way,” she shared. “And I'm learning to be thankful for the little things.”
24. What's Meyer's parents'purpose of putting up sticky notes

Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man's friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel 1 University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building （but only after an earthquake, of course）.
28. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
29. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
30. What's the main reason why rats are better than robots to find survivors
A. Rats have a better sense of smell to find survivors.
B. Robots can't judge the smell of living survivors.
C. Rats have natural ability to find survivors.
D. Rats can get to spaces unreachable for robots.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. The “rat project” would be fantastic.
B. Rats will soon be man's new best friends.
C. Rats help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.
D
Have you ever tried a cactus（仙人掌） pear Yes, its prickly（多刺的） surface makes it an unusual-looking fruit but it is widely used in Mexican dishes. This fruit from the cactus is really good for you because it is helpful in fighting against many diseases, and has many health benefits（利益）. There are actually over 200 types of cactus fruit and they grow in hot dry places.
Since the world is getting hotter and drier, it is even more difficult for hot dry places to grow major crops（庄稼） that need more water. Therefore, providing food and fuel will go a long way in a world that is heating up. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno, set out to see if the cactus pear could become a super food that could feed people and animals, remove carbon（碳） from the atmosphere and be used as a biofuel.
While the study looked at many type of cactuses, they settled on the nopal cactus or Opuntia. The fruit can be gathered as food and the rest of the cactus can be used for taking in carbon and can be used as biofuels according to biology professor Cushman. The plant keeps water by closing its pores （气孔） during the hottest part of the day to limit water loss and opens them at night. Cushman hopes to use the genes from this plant to add them to other plants.
They are also studying the Opuntia disease, which causes cactuses to grow smaller plants and less fruits. They hope to learn how to create tools to recognize and treat the discase so that they can help Opuntia become a prolific crop.
In a world that is also gaining population, finding a new super food will go a long way in feeding a planet that will need 50-90 percent more food in 2050. Eating more plant-based foods will also reduce the amount of land needed for more food protection.
32. What can we know about the cactus pear
A. It is of great benefit to people. B. It is the main food for Mexicans.
C. It can't be seen outside Mexico. D. It grows in hot wet places.
33. What is the feature of the nopal cactus
A. It is easy to be gathered. B. It has fewer pores to save water.
C. It is suitable for various conditions D. It is eatable and good for the environment.
34. What does the underlined word “prolific” Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Helpful. B. Unusual. C. Attractive. D. Fruitful.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. Getting away from increasingly higher temperatures.
B. Cactus pears may become the new super food crop.
C. A cactus is the plant living well in dry areas.
D. Providing plant-based food for the world.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We have two main aims for your academic （学业的） life at high school: that you achieve the best possible academic results you can, and that you really enjoy your learning, getting an intellectual （智力的） curiosity that will last you all your life. Teachers will help you with both areas of your development. 36
A classroom is a formal setting（环境） and you should behave accordingly. Don't shout your ideas out. Your teacher can only hear one person speak at a time. Do co-operate, so that everyone can learn in the most effective way. Do take risks by having a go, even if you are not certain you know the answer. 37 Getting things wrong is an important part of how you learn and no one is expected to be perfect. You will enjoy your lessons much more if you get fully involved and have a go. However, it is extremely important that you listen carefully to instructions and to the ideas of others.
Even if the teacher has not told you to make notes, it is a good idea to do so in order to have a record of what happened in that lesson. 38 This will be important as you reflect each day on what you have learnt.
39 This is the advice you need to get better. It is sometimes a good idea to turn the teachers comment into your own words and set yourself a target for the next piece of work.
Every week, read through your notes, highlighting key facts and information, and making up shorter revision notes. 40
A. There is no such thing as a silly question.
B. Here are some tips for doing well in lessons.
C. You will learn much more from your mistakes.
D. And your teachers will support you as you learn.
E. This will really help you when the exams come round.
F. Ensure you read the comment in the teachers' marking.
G. Always write the date, a title and some short explanation of the topic of the lesson.
