John Stickovich was on his way to work when he saw a house on fire, with no firemen there to help. There were two people outside the house who were looking sad.
“The mother was sitting on the grass with her baby, and I asked her if she was all right. She said, ‘My other baby is still inside the burning(燃烧) house,’ and I thought, ‘Oh no, I have to save the baby.’ That was what I had to do,”said John.
As he walked around the house, he tried to enter(进去) through the side door. But the smoke and the fire were too strong and he couldn't get into it. At the back of the house, another door was open and John crawled(爬行) in to look for the baby but had to come back because of the fire.
He asked the mother where she had last seen her baby. Then he went back into the fire again to look for the baby, but he couldn't find it as there was little time and air left. He thought about saving himself, but changed his mind when he heard the baby crying. He moved towards the sound, held the baby and did his best to run out. After they made it out of the house safely, the mother kept thanking him.
“I feel great that I saved the baby. The mother doesn't have to be sad about losing her child. Today, that baby gets to live,” John said. “People are calling to say I did a great job, but I want to say I would do it for anyone. We all need help sometimes.”

Dough figurine making(面人制作)is traditional Chinese art. It has a history of about 2,000 years in China. Though some people said it might vanish, dough figurine makers are still working very hard to keep it alive.
Peng Xiaoping is a great dough figurine making artist. He also teaches students about the traditional art. “I pass on not only the skills, but also the experience of running a business,” he said. “If l only teach them how to make the figurines, my students won't be able to make a living from it, and it will not be possible to pass on the traditional art to more people.”
Many young people are interested in the traditional art, but they're facing many___▲___. There're few professional (专业的) classes teaching students about the art. Also, because of the materials, if dough figurine makers make any mistake, they can't fix it easily. Instead, they have to do it all over again. So it can be stressful. Dough figurine making needs great talent, a lot of thinking and practice.
Peng believes he can teach the young people in a new way. “My daughter is studying animation design(动画设计) at university, so I'm thinking about bringing animation and dough figurines together. Making dough figurine cartoons would be much more exciting than just passing on the art to the young people,” he said.
We are excited about the future of the traditional art as dough figurine makers in China continue to look for ways to bring new life to their practice.
23. What does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Change. B. Die. C. Appear. D. Continue.
24. Why should Peng's students learn to do business
A. To sell more dough figurines. B. To raise money to save more dying traditions.
C. To compete with other dough figurine makers. D. To make a living when passing on the traditional art.
25. The best word for“____▲____”in Paragraph 3 is “________”.
A. Changes B. dangers C. difficulties D. results
26. What can we learn from the passage
A. Dough figurine making artist has a history of about 200 years in China.
B. Peng Xiaoping teaches students about the traditional music.
C. Peng prefers making dough figurine cartoons to just passing on the art to the young.
D. If dough figurine makers make any mistake, they can fix it easily.
D
①Usually, people set up a business to make money. However, some businesses want to do something else. They want to help people in need. There are several ways they do this.
②Many farmers and workers in some countries are poor. So, people came up with the idea of fair trade(贸易会) to help them. Businesses that join this trade treat farmers and workers fairly. For example, a fair trade coffee business agrees to buy beans(豆) from a farmer at a fair price. These businesses think that this is beneficial in many ways. When a poor community sells its goods at a fair price, it will have money for its basic needs. Farmers who sell their crops(农作物) at a fair price can also take good care of their land.
③TOMS is a business that makes shoes. It wants to help people who have very little. Years ago, TOMS made a promise. For each pair of shoes it sold, it would give a pair to children in need. People liked the message and felt good when they bought the shoes. TOMS continues to do what it promised. So far, TOMS has given away millions of pairs of shoes!
④The Hard Rock Cafe is a business that runs restaurants around the world. Its charity(慈善)organization, the Hard Rock Heals Foundation, raises money by selling songs, concert tickets, and T-shirts. The Hard Rock Cafe believes that music has the power to help people.
⑤Businesses that are looking for ways to do good things are growing in number. They want to make life better for their community. A good business is about a lot more than just making money!
27. According to paragraph 2, how does the writer show the businesses treat farmers and workers fairly
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing facts.
28. What do we know about TOMS
A. It joins the trade of treating workers fairly. B. It has given away a lot of shoes to poor children.

C. How to Do Business Well with Others D. How to Make Life Better for the Community
