Becoming a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students. Here are some great scholarships and grant（政府机构的拨款）opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of becoming a teacher.
Straightforward Teacher Program
This is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards becoming teachers. The foundation offers their scholarships every three months as opposed to each year. During each payment, four students receive a $ 500 scholarship.
Prezell Robinson Scholarship Program
While this scholarship is available only to students in the state of North Carolina, it is so incredibly helpful that many students choose to study in the state for the only purpose of receiving it. It is offered to college students who come from low-income high schools or families that are interested in pursuing a long term career in education at any level.
New York State Scholarship Program
Officials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their community through their ability to teach. The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level. Also, because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York, the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation.
Coca-Cola Scholarships
You may have many opportunities for grants and scholarships through the Coca-Cola Foundation. There is the Coca-Cola Teaching Foundation that will provide free money for students pursuing an education in the teaching field. This is the most obvious for teachers, but do not be afraid to check out their other offers.
Funds For Teachers
Not all scholarships or grants are for students entering of already in college. The Funds for Teachers scholarships are for graduates who are already working in the field, but want to improve their possibilities. skills and education in an effort to increase their ability to teach the students that cross their path more effectively. Teachers in Prek through 12th grade are applicable no matter where they teach or what subject they specialize in.

It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived. The energy in the halls was electric as the students ran around the school anticipating the final bell so they could celebrate the arrival of summer vacation. As I cleaned out my drawers, I came across a student's past homework assignment dating all the way back to 1964, long before I became a teacher. The faded yellow paper had been wedged （塞入） behind two drawers, yet it was in perfect shape.
Looking into my classroom, you could see about two dozen boxes and bins inside. The 22-million-dollar renovation（翻新） was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.
My family, including newborn baby Summer had arrived that day and the students were excited to meet her. Upon their arrival, word spread quickly that my daughter was here. The joy surrounding Summer was evident. What is it about a baby that draws people together Magical moments were happening and I was capturing as many of them as I could.
The day before, I held a party for the students. The feelings were bittersweet, as I knew that this would be the last farewell party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.
I have been a teacher now for nearly two decades, and one thing I've learned is that to connect with and understand students deeply means taking the time to truly care. We must communicate positive messages about our world with opportunity and hope. We must take the time to celebrate each person's life for what it is. It's about showing care, compassion, and belief in people on a regular basis. You can be the change in a student's life that brings them a sense of self-worth.

Butterflies, a familiar sight around the world, are disappearing now. Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been affected by threats from climate change. In the US alone, the monarch butterfly has seen a drop of 80%, from millions of them recorded by scientists in the 1980s to only 29, 000 in 2020; in 2017 scientists in Germany raised alarm bells after stressing that insects had decreased （减少） by more than 70% in 30 years.
Leading environmental organizations have been working hard to find new ways of tracking butterflies. Now, there is no long-term data available to develop effective strategies in those areas where the threat is particularly widespread. The scientists also wanted to say the big problem that long-term monitoring programs worldwide have faced for a long time: they are focused on training locals as citizen biologists, which, although successful, requires significant and continued funding.
In Ecuador, however, scientists have taken things one step further. The study was undertaken （承担） to fight against the serious threat of dying out that so many insects - not just butterflies— are facing. They came up with a unique approach. In Yasuni National Park, one of the world's most diverse reserves, they started a monitoring project where park rangers（护林员） were trained and then performed monitoring. The rangers were able to identify butterflies to species with impressive accuracy （精确性）— an 85% success rate —which was key for these monitoring programs to be successful. The data gathered by the park rangers was so accurate that it did not significantly differ from the data collected by trained biologists in the area.
In comparison to other monitoring projects that employ individuals from the community to act as citizen biologists, which usually terminate when funding is used up, this study represents a long-term solution. Monitoring with a system already in place means that it can continue, regardless of funding.
“Our approach increases the possibility of continued monitoring in the long term by saving money,” said the lead author. “What's more, it will provide the possibility for other highly threatened and important areas for biodiversity （生物多样性） protection.” Soon, the researchers hope to expand their efforts to other parks and reserves in Ecuador and other countries.
61. The figures in the US and Germany listed in Paragraph 1 intend to ________.
A. show the rich diversity of butterflies
B. describe the sharp fall of butterflies' number
C. stress scientists' great attention to butterflies
D. compare butterfly population decrease in different regions
62. What is monitoring programs' long-term challenge in butterfly protection
A. The high cost of training staff. B. The wide areas to be monitored.
C. The lack of professional trainers. D. The difficulty of handling existing data.
63. What may be the biggest success of Yasuni National Park's project
A. Attracting biologists' attention. B. Butterflies' being saved effectively.
C. Rangers making accurate identification. D. Spreading technical monitoring methods.
64. What does the underlined word “terminate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Grow. B. Return. C. Appear. D. End.
65. What will the researchers do in the future
A. Share their method and experience.
B. Prove long-term effects of their method.
C. Test for their approach's economic benefits.
D. Compare their results with those of other areas.
D
For this year's Fourth of July celebration, some US cities have replaced traditional fireworks with impressive drone（无人机） light shows. Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourdr of July celebrations don't leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America's air quality is already at its worst in decades.
“Around the world, we've seen consistently that, during times when firework usage is really high, we have really bad air quality.” said Pallavi Pant, the head of global health at the Health Effects Institute. And while that pollution typically disappears quickly— usually around noon on July 5th— the concentration can be high enough to worsen the condition for those with breathing problems. Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there're plenty of other reasons why people may want to avoid traditional fireworks.
“Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD （创伤后应激障碍） or families who have dogs. Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, a manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands. “Being away from fireworks is considered by many to be the tendency of the future. Drones are reusable, while with fireworks, you have smoke, falling debris（碎片）, and noise which especially stresses dogs and people with PTSD out.”
About 12, 264 fires were started by firework displays in 2021, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Those added up to around $59 million in direct property damage. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows on sidewalks.
It may be too early to tell how this tendency may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but the price is a limiting factor.
66. What is the most important reason for US cities' giving up traditional firework shows
A. To reduce fire risks. B. To prevent noise pollution.
C. To protect the environment. D. To support new technology.
67. What about fireworks typically threatens people with PTSD and dogs
A. Their thick smoke. B. Their falling debris.
C. Their frightening noise. D. Their shining bright light.
68. What does the data from the National Fire Protection Association show
A. Public fireworks win more people's favor. B. Street fireworks present more fire threats.
C. Usage of fireworks is on the decrease D. Prevention of fireworks is costly.
69. Which will be a future consideration of drone light shows' wide usage
A. Economic pressure. B. Appreciation value.
C. Drones' safety. D. Related policy.
70. What is the text mainly about
A. What response Americans have to drone light shows
B. Why some US cities replace fireworks with drones.
C. How Americans celebrate special events.
D. How drone shows develop in America.

Peking opera, known as China's national opera, is a combination of music, dance and art and is widely regarded as a full expression of Chinese culture. Today, this art form is facing the danger of extinction as the younger generation is mostly interested in pop culture.
A Peking opera project for primary and secondary schools was launched by China's Ministry of Education. But it has met with a cold reaction from the public. More than half of the 1, 000 respondents from ten big cities expressed doubts about the practical meaning of the project in the survey conducted by the Social Survey Institute of China.
The project plans to add 15 Peking opera pieces into music courses in 200 schools in ten provinces. The pilot programs will last from March to July next year. At present, teaching materials and video tapes are still in production, China News Service reported. The Ministry of Education hopes that the promotional course can help students better appreciate Chinese culture and cultivate a love for the mother country.
The surveyed people do recognize Peking opera as a comprehensive（综合性的） art form and a representative of the traditional culture. They also understand the purpose of the educational project. However, they wonder whether it is necessary for every student to learn to sing Peking opera, when they are already stressed from endless exams. In fact, most music teachers themselves know little about this ancient art form, and thus are not confident in arousing（激起） students' Interest in its slow pace and abstruse （深奥的） lyrics.

Dear Chris,
How nice to hear from you! In your letter you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to give you some advice.
As we know, we teenagers grow very fast, so we need plenty of nutritious foods, such as fish, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables. Besides, you should take physical exercise regularly instead of studying all the time. What’s more, having enough sleep is very important. So I advise you to have at least eight hours of sleep every day and not to stay up too late. Only in this way can we keep fit.
