Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words, spell, or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. "She had left me with the gift of literacy," he said, "and with the value as a human being." His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for "most improved in reading". He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
"I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy."
24. What do we know about Ghunta's family
A. The family lived a poor life.
B. Their house sat in the urban area.
C. His mother had no choice of resources.
D. The family was supported by his parents.
25. Which word best describes Ghunta before meeting the young teacher
A. Lazy. B. Impatient. C. Careless. D. Unconfident.
26. What did the teacher do for Ghunta beyond literacy
A. She helped him get a sense of self-worth and hope.
B. She encouraged him to pursue a career in education.
C. She introduced him to the world of professional writing.

The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
"Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective," said the co-founder of a technology company. "Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't balance back anymore," he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim likefish. The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas. He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. "We need capital to commercialize," said the CEO, "but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways." The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, "Investors should absolutely wake up."
28. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To state the importance of the text.

29. Which is an advantage of the robots
A. They can lead other fishes.
B. They can easily catch children's eyes.
C. They work efficiently under the water.
D. They can swim without being recharged.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The launch of a new program. B. The application of the technology.
C. The management of the company. D. The development of the company.
31. What problem does the company face currently
A. How to make people focus on technology.
B. How to keep investors positive.
C. How to produce more robots.
D. How to collect more money.

For centuries, explorers have searched for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the secret to staying young might have been within us all along. Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly over time. As an alternative, Amor and colleagues turned to a "living" drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells.
They discovered CAR T cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came without any tissue damage or side effects.
Perhaps the greatest power of CAR T cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. That single treatment can protect against conditions that commonly occur later in life.
"T cells have the ability to develop memory and exist in your body for really long periods, which is very different from a chemical drug," Amor explained.
Amor's lab is now investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth.
32. What discovery have scientists made about T cells and aging
A. T cells cause aging. B. T cells can fight aging.
C. Senescent cells are T cells. D. Aging is caused by genetic changes.
33. What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Sustain. B. Remove. C. Cue. D. Polish.
34. Which effect of CAR T cells on young mice does the text emphasize
A. Short-term activity increase.
B. Immediate weight reduction.
C. Lifelong health enhancement.
D. Temporary metabolic improvement.
35. What is Amor's attitude to the future of employing CAR T cells
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.

Embracing a Green Lifestyle
Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet. Here are some steps to embrace a green lifestyle.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. 36 These three simple words can make a big difference in your daily life. Whether it's using a reusable water bottle or shopping bag, these small actions can reduce waste and pollution.
Conserve water and electricity. Be mindful of your water and electricity usage. 37 Simple habits like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or switching off lights when not in use can save a lot of energy.
38 When shopping, opt for products that are made from sustainable materials and have minimal packaging. Remember to check the labels for certifications that indicate eco-friendliness. This not only helps to reduce waste but also supports companies that are committed to environmental protection.
Grow your own food. Planting a small vegetable garden or even a few herbs in pots can be a rewarding experience. 39 It's a great way to ensure you're eating fresh and healthy food while also reducing your carbon footprint.
Use public transportation, carpool, or bike. Instead of driving alone, consider using public transportation, carpooling, or biking to work or school. 40 This can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and improve air quality.
A. Choose eco-friendly products.
B. This is the essence of a green lifestyle.
C. It's easy to get started with these practices.
D. Try to minimize the use of single-use items.
E. Small changes can make a big impact on the environment.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 2022, Mary Griffis found herself drowned in sorrow after her brother Peter's heart-breaking accidental death. In the months that followed, Griffis had to navigate the overwhelming experience of both feeling sad at her brother's death and being consumed by the tough tasks of settling Peter's affairs, too much paperwork and endless phone calls.
"It's hard to explain just how tiring it is to have to call again and again and say 'I'm calling on behalf of my late brother...' day in and day out for months and months," Griffis said.
When all the arrangements had been made and Peter's house had been sold, Griffis didn't know what to do with herself.
"What do I do now " Griffis thought, "Well, I think my brother would want me to do something that makes me happy."
So she decided to do something that she'd always wanted to do: learn how to drive a manual transmission (手动变速器) car.
Griffis thought it was really fun. She liked not just the joy, the sense of freedom of driving and not really having to go anywhere, but also learning something new. She thought it was very comforting for some strange reason.
Griffis enjoyed it so much that she decided to buy a car with a manual transmission. She found one that fit her budget and went and picked it up from the dealership. After pulling out of the lot, everything was fine for about two or three miles. Then she hit heavy traffic on a narrow, two-way road. Her engine died and there was no breakdown lane. She took a deep breath and tried to start the car a few times, but it wouldn't go.
And at this point, because of the traffic, people were so angry. They were urging her to move aside; they were honking (鸣喇叭) and some people even rolled down their windows and shouted as they slowly bypassed her car. But she just couldn't start her car. As people gathered around her, Griffis became more and more nervous.

And this weekend, temperatures are going up slightly to a high of 28 degrees and a low of 17 degrees. Then we'll see the high temperature hits 30 degrees the following week. It won't be as hot as last summer, when we broke the record for the hottest week in a decade. But we will have the most sunny days of any summer in history. As always, fire warnings and rules about water use will be in effect, especially at the campsites. So please be careful and stay safe. The beaches opened up two weeks ago. However, due to water use rules, water parks will be closed for the next 14 days. Of course, summer means activities, and our annual marathon will be run in early June. The fireworks show is scheduled for the beginning of August, and the concert in the park will take place from August 22nd to 23rd. I'm Ben Hawkes, and that's your weather report.

A rice dumpling wrapping competition
During the Dragon Boat Festival, our school organized a rice dumpling wrapping competition for the boarders who couldn't return home for the reunion. The event was a delightful blend of tradition and camaraderie. Students from various grades gathered in the school hall, each trying to outdo the other in wrapping the most exquisite dumplings. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and friendly competition.
I felt a surge of pride and joy, not just for the skill we displayed but also for the sense of belonging that the event fostered among us. It was a heartwarming experience that turned a potentially lonely holiday into a memorable celebration.

Eventually, one of the cars slowed down. Griffis clearly remembered inside the car was a woman, who could see her hands shaking. She slowed down and said with a gentle tone, "I noticed you were having trouble with your car. Is there anything I can do to help Hold on,I'm pulling over." She pulled over and got out of the car. To Griffis' surprise, the woman started directing the traffic. And she looked at Griffis and said, "Don't be nervous. It's quite common and there's no need to feel guilty."
The woman then introduced herself as Robin. She chatted cheerfully with Griffis, while calming down the angry drivers. The whole incident turned out to be a vital moment in Griffis' life. "Instead of this turning into a painful and discouraging experience, she turned it into something good," Griffis said. "It reminded me that we have a lot to hope for in time of trouble. What we really need is to be kind and to be good to one another, to support each other, to keep going and not to give up."
