Imagine having a magic purple crayon that can bring your imagination to life. That’s exactly
what happens in the movie Harold and the Purple Crayon, originally a children’s book by Crockett
Johnson.
In the book, Harold is a kid who uses his crayon to draw a fantasy world. If he draws the
moon, it shines just like the real thing. If he draws a hot-air balloon, he can float away. In the
movie, Harold is a grown-up character in a book who uses the crayon to enter the real world.
Joined by his friends Moose and Porcupine, Harold gets help from a kind family. He returns
their kindness by drawing things that make them happy. Of course, the crayon eventually falls into
the wrong hands. Harold worries about its being used for bad purposes. He loses faith in his ability
to make people happy with his drawings. Luckily, friendship and imagination show him and his
friends that anything is possible.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is funny and exciting. Readers of the book will really enjoy
seeing the characters come to life on the big screen. It’s perfect for a family movie night and for
anyone who enjoys fantasy. It might inspire you to, as Harold says, “Make your life what you
want it to be. Use your imagination.”

Mark Smith and Jarryd Haines are good friends. The two boys from Sydney have known
each other for most of their lives. Both of them enjoy playing Australian football.
A few years ago, when Mark was nine, he developed brain cancer. The disease robbed the
boy of his sight, part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport. However, throughout
the years, Jarryd remained his closest friend. They still share their love of Australian football. And
they still enjoy talking about the Sydney Swans, their favorite team.
Two weeks ago, I took my seat at Sydney Cricket Ground to watch the Swans. The old
stadium was crowded with fans. Shortly into the second quarter, I heard some great commentary
from a boy. Play by play, Jarryd was bringing the game to life. I turned and saw him. Mark was
sitting next to him.
Although he cannot see anymore, Mark still loves the Swans very much. Usually, he goes to
the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio. However, in the second quarter of that
match, the radio system broke down. That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in.
I hardly looked at the Swans and Buddy, the team's star player. Instead, I was focusing on
Jarryd and Mark. “What's happening now, mate ” Mark asked. “Don't worry, Mark,” Jarryd
replied. “Okay. Buddy’s got it. Will he go for it He's going for it! It's his tenth goal! Buddy is on
fire!” Mark listened carefully. He was lost in the magic of Australian football brought to life by
his friend.
Sports can be competitive. However, they can also allow us to share wonderful moments with
others, may they be close friends or perfect strangers. Here, Jarryd and Mark have moved me, and
perhaps some other spectators, with the best commentary.

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online
friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely That's what
some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some
experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true
friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant
spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With
Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends
might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and
spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social
media platforms(平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There's
definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share
more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of
forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have
little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State
University. Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media
for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your picture or
share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would
{#{QQABLYKIwUxggAio4kAIIaIAACBZh4CLA0wGX+qCgkAQkkIBEGhLAeAgasgBOVgAEBAqMARsAKAwAZAFQABFAIAB=A}#A}=}#}
like to talk face to face.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion. D. To encourage online friendship.
9. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In any case. B. In person.
C. In full measure. D. In advance.
10. What is Katie's attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Unconcerned.
C. Confused. D. Positive.
11. What view does Rosen hold
A. It's wise to turn to friends online.
B. It's easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
D. Social media help people stay closely connected.

Recycling is beneficial for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising
ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, he can be found sorting through glass and
plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a
community recycling program.
Mateo launched the program in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade, playing
baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones, a new team that needed funds for traveling to
tournaments. Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled. In Michigan, these
can be collected and exchanged for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive.
It raised $7,500. “We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says. “So I thought, why
not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then, Mateo says, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local
youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside
and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “It feels humbling,”
Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort. “I am happy
knowing that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefitting.”
Mateo believes everyone can—and should—be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make
the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on
{#{QQABLYKIwUxggAi4oAkIIaIAACBZh4CLA0wGX+qCgkAQkkIBEGhLAeAgasgBOVgAEBAqMARsAKAwAZAFQABFAIAB=A}#A}=}#}
it.”
12.What motivated Mateo Lange to start his recycling program
A. He wanted to clean up his community.
B. His team needed money to travel to tournaments.
C. He was inspired by his father’s love for the environment.
D. He was competing for the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
13.How did Mateo's recycling program benefit his community
A. It created jobs for local residents.
B. It prevented pollution of Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
C. It reduced the need for new beverage distributors.
D. It helped build new recreational facilities.
14. What’s Mateo’s attitude toward his achievements
A. Proud and excited.
B. Humble and satisfied.
C. Overwhelmed by the work.
D. Calm and unconcerned.
15. What does Mateo suggest others should do to make a positive impact
A. Start a recycling program like his.
