On the first day of the fourth grade,my teacher,Mrs.Brown,told my class a story about her husband Rob,who is a brain cancer survivor.After what Mrs.Brown experienced with Rob’s illness,she decided to devote part of her life to an organization called Be Head Strong,which works to support families with a member suffering from brain cancer.
Along with typical math and science,throughout the year,Mrs.Brown shared stories with us about people in Be Head Strong who had overcome some tough and unfair battles.Mrs.Brown never showed any sadness or confusion towards the disease.She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure.Whether news from Be Head Strong was good or bad,she always looked at the situation as an opportunity to improve and do more.
My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important.I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance.By the end of the school year,I had saved over one hundred dollars,$131.30 to be exact.One day I was wondering what to do with it.I did not feel like any game or toy was worth the time I had spent saving.I thought about the stories Mrs.Brown told us,and then I decided that was where I wanted my money to go.
As the last day of school approached,my mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins.After all the other kids had left on the last day of school,I handed Mrs.Brown the present.As she opened it,I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob.She broke into tears and hugged me tightly.

For the majority of people,watching movies is their favorite pastime.Even for the deaf,captions (字幕) make it possible for them to enjoy movies.But what about deaf children who can’t read yet,or whose reading isn’t fast enough to keep up with captions
Mariella Satow,17,a senior student of Rugby School in the UK,ran into these questions and spent over a year developing SignUp to solve them.SignUp,launched in August,is a free-of-charge Google Chrome Extension that provides American Sign Language (ASL) captioning over videos on Disney Plus.It puts a small box with a sign language interpreter (口译者) in the corner of the screen while the movie plays.
Satow,who has UK and US citizenship,has been stuck in New York,US,since March 2020 because of the coronavius.During the lockdown,Satow decided to learn a new language,specifically ASL.“Normally,I learn languages by watching television shows with captions,but I found nothing similar for ASL.”
Realizing that some deaf children would come across the problem,Satow took action.Using her $3,000 she made from part-time job—dog-walking during the pandemic,Satow employed an India-based company to help her design a coding system that could overlay ASL interpretation on streaming platforms.As of Nov.12,the extension has provided on-screen ASL interpretation for nine movies such as Moana.
“We watched Moana...My 6-year-old daughter’s face was priceless.She loved it...It was the first time she had had full access to a movie.Thank you!” a user commented below on SignUp’s Twitter account.Satow said that some teachers would use the extension in their classrooms and arrange movie nights for their students.
“My hope is that we’ll have a lot more movies interpreted,” she told the website Sag Harbor Express.“I’m hoping to expand to a more adult audience and to other countries—to make it as big as possible.”
5.What does SignUp do
A.Reduce the speed of captions.
B.Teach deaf children a sign language.
C.Offer on-screen ASL interpretation.
D.Provide captions in different languages.
6.Why did Satow develop SignUp
A.To earn money for her education.
B.To make ASL popular among the deaf.
C.To become a sign language interpreter.
D.To help deaf children enjoy movies better.
7.What’s the attitude of parents and teachers to SignUp
A.Favorable. B.Negative.
C.Uncaring. D.Doubtful.
8.Which of the following best describes Satow
A.Brave and independent.
B.Kind-hearted and creative.
C.Friendly and honest.
D.Smart and humorous.

Taylor has a very Forrest Gump-ian view of the ocean:“You never know what you’re going to find out there beyond the limit of your visibility.” Like Gump and his box of chocolates,Taylor,now 85 years old,holds burning curiosity for our oceans after a lifetime of swimming in them and learning about the oldest animal to still exist,the shark.
Taylor grew up on the coast of New South Wales.She began spear fishing and worked her way up in her early 20s to become one of very few women who were professional spear fishers.But as she spent more time underwater—especially with the sharks,of which she only ever killed one—she had a change of heart and decided,along with her late husband and world spear fishing champion,Ron Taylor,to hang up her spear.From that point on,she would only shoot them with her camera.Thus,the Taylors became two of the first underwater photographers and cinematographers documenting sharks.
As a pioneering shark conservationist,Taylor succeeded in many firsts throughout her life’s work.She was the first person to dive with sharks cageless,and the first person to put on a special suit to test the power of a shark bite.She was also the first to hand-feed a Great White Shark and even pet it.Her husband was the first person in the world to film a Great White Shark swimming underwater.Together they filmed all the live-action scenes with sharks,and because the public’s reaction to the film was so full of fear,they went on countless PR (public relations) tours to help correct the malign creatures’ image.
Her research has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today and she succeeded in becoming the first person to get Grey Nurse sharks protected in a specific area.There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to help prove that sharks are not dangerous monsters.
5.What is the similarity between Taylor and Forrest Gump
A.Fond of chocolates.
B.Good at swimming.
C.Crazy about ocean animals.
D.Eager to explore the unknown.
6.Why was Taylor successful in being many firsts
A.She gave up spear fishing.
B.She shifted her interest to photography.
C.She devoted much of her life to shark conservation.
D.She wanted to become a world spear fishing champion.
7.What does the underlined word “malign” mean in paragraph 3
A.Frightening. B.Tricky.
C.Selfish. D.Ugly.
8.What is the significance of Taylor’s research
A.Proving that sharks are endangered.
B.Having changed the false image of sharks.
C.Laying fundamental knowledge about sharks.
D.Managing to get the Great White Sharks protected.

One day,Vinod Menon,head of the physics department at City College of New York,was going through his office mails.He opened a box,only to find $180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address.Having never seen so much money,he was too shocked to know what to do with it.
City College of New York is one of the most productive public university systems in the United States,and the physics department has played a key role.Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there,and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures at the Harlem campus.
“Supposing that you are a bit curious as to why I am doing this,the reason is simple,” the letter read.It continued to explain that many years before,its generous writer had taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunity,available at City College to study physics,earn a master’s degree,and do a long,productive,well-rewarding scientific job.The sender wished to offer the money to poor students learning physics and other sciences.
The return address was to a house in Pensacola,Florida whose owners had no idea of the money.The money was first put aside,but after the two-month-long research which had found nothing that could link it to activities which are not lawful,the leaders of the college decided to keep and make good use of the money.
Dr.Menon,who grew up in India,noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships every year for ten years,and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means— such as immigrants like him.
4.How did Vinod Menon feel at the first sight of so much money
A.Overjoyed. B.Surprised.
C.Anxious. D.Calm.
5.Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in paragraph 2

6.What can be inferred about the sender from the letter
A.The sender is successful in some way.
B.The sender lives in Florida at present.
C.The sender owns a house in Pensacola.
D.The sender used to do something against the law.
7.What will the college do with the money
A.Return it to its owner.
B.Set up scholarships with it.
C.Give it away to immigrants.
D.Put it all into the bank.

An Indiana school system is testing a new program that turns food that would normally go to waste into meals for children who need them.
As part of a pilot program,20 students at Woodland Elementary School (小学) in Elkhart went home on Friday with an insulated (隔热的) backpack filled with eight frozen meals to help them get through the weekend.The program is just getting started,but it seems to be going well.Cafeteria staff stood up and clapped when the plan was announced.“It’s heartbreaking,you know,seeing our kids hungry and not being able to do anything about it,” said Bickel,the director of student services for Elkhart Community School.
The school partnered with Cultivate,a “food rescue” group in nearby South Bend,to prepare the meals,which include a protein (蛋白质) and a vegetable.The group comes to five Elkhart school production kitchens on Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays to collect food that was prepared but not served.That food had been going into the garbage.Cultivate gets food from local restaurants,hospitals and other businesses as well.The University of Notre Dame athletic department and the South Bend Cubs league baseball team also donate unused food.
Cultivate is also running pilot programs with two South Bend schools.“It’s been a long-term mission for myself,” Cultivate co-founder Randy Z said,“I was the kid who went home with no food and didn’t eat on the weekends when I was younger.”
Randy Z is getting calls from area schools and restaurants that want to get involved and from people in other parts of the United States who want to start their own programs.“Children come back to school energized and ready to go and it improves them all across the board.It’s just a great thing,” he said.
8.What is cafeteria staff’s attitude towards the pilot program
A.Disapproving. B.Favorable.
C.Uncaring. D.Doubtful.
9.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The partners of the school.
B.The causes of wasted food.
C.The source of the food rescued.
D.The content of the frozen meals.
10.Why is Cultivate a lasting mission for Randy Z
A.He values education.
B.He wants to save food.
C.He founded the group.
D.He once suffered from hunger.
11.What can we infer about Cultivate
A.It makes much money.
B.It donates food to schools.
C.It will benefit more kids.
D.It will start its own kitchen.
