When I was 13, I lost my sight. Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.
I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it. A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind. That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting — about skills on my way to learning practical technology. My parents settled for it.
But how would I plan my course I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, get around without a walking stick by counting steps. But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had. I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout （布局）of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind. Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction. But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill. I'd have to swallow my pride to ask kind strangers for help.
On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down. But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again. Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.
Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again. And when people ask me,
"Aren't you afraid to be out on your own ” the answer to me is clear: I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.
Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, "Our boy can see!”.

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
32. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
C. Introducing eco-friendly products. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
33. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A. To find a substitute for them. B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art. D. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
34. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A. Calming. B.Refreshing. C. Disturbing. D. Challenging.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety

During this past year, I’ve experienced three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.

Dear Gilbert,
Knowing that you are strongly interested in the activities organized by our school on the World Earth Day, I am writing to share with you some more details.
Aiming to raise students’ awareness of protecting the environment, there was a range of activities held on that day. To begin with, our school union started an exhibition featuring the beauty of nature and the negative effects of human activities. Besides, every class had a class meeting focused on how to protect our environment as a student. In addition,we took part in a campus clean-up activity lasting for nearly two hours. Seeing our campus cleaner than before, our efforts paid off. These activities are thought highly of by all the students and teachers, through which students have had a good knowledge of environmental protection.
Let’s keep in touch. Best wishes! Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
Yours,
LiHua

When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. Before I could speak, my stomach answered in a delighted grumble. After ages of hopelessly waiting and an hour of hard work, my body was desperate for fuel. The girl giggled and led me to their truck. There I saw a small portable table. I must have said “thank you” a thousand times during the meal. The father simply smiled and patted my shoulder. His wife gestured to the dishes. “This one good ” she asked. And then I was handed a paper bag filled with Mexican delicacies.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. Lying on top of the food was my $20 bill. I immediately looked around for the truck, but it was long gone. Since then, each time I drove past a fruit farm, I would look for a small truck and the family with a heart of gold. But weeks passed with fruitless searches. In the meantime, I began to help travelers with car problems, all for free. I seized every chance to pass on kindness; kindness I hope will reach these good people one day.
Para.1 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.
Para.2 After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.
