Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept, 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her26 months of non -stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov, 13, 20l6, and she has been cancer-free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing the treatment. I was never able to do much, and that's what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience asking their mom and dad, “When are we leaving When can I play with my friends ” So I decided I have to help them.
In February, 2017, Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯)out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.
Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me," she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through." Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.
Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hoped her bracelets would make people remember that great things can result from small changes. *“No matter what age you are, what you look like, and how you act, you can make a difference!" she said.
19. What happened to Becca at the end of 2016

C. She raised a lot of money. D. She was helped by a company

Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults A recent study suggests otherwise.
Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known-more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kind of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.
So, what does all of this mean The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them, Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.
23. This experiment was carried out by_______.
A. dividing the teens into three groups
B. comparing the reactions to different risks
C. giving equal amount of awards to the participants
D. observing the emotional changes of the teenager
24. When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be_______.
A. ambitious B. cautious C. anxious D. curious
25. Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks
A. Teenagers. B. College students C. Parent-aged adults. D. Grandparent-aged adults
26. According to the study, parents should focus on_______.
A. guaranteeing children to be careful
B. setting age limits on dangerous activities
C. respecting teens to make their own choices
D. guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks.
D
Working during the day and learning new skills at night is becoming a popular trend among young people in China. From dancing, beauty, fitness classes to wine tasting and vlog filming, the list of possibilities for new learning experiences seems limitless.
These diverse options, cost-effectiveness and highly qualified teachers have made “night schools” popular once more. Young people at night schools can explore their interests and enrich their personal, spiritual, and cultural fulfillment.
“Night schools enable our generation to actively develop non-utilitarian (非功利的) interests," said Xu Lili, a27-year-old advertisement planner. She spent an entire weekend selecting night school institutions and courses through a popular lifestyle-sharing platform before attending classes. Finally, she chose a street dance club that was close to her workplace. $he said the atmosphere was great. She has made many new friends there.
Night schools provide a break from work-related stress and allow individuals to explore their passion at minimal cost. The demand for such courses is clear. Zheng Lifu even turned his art training center into a night school in Fuzhou. Within a few days of posting course information on a platform, he received over 300 enquiries(询问) and finally got more than 100 participants.
As night schools continue to grow in popularity, institutions are expanding their course offerings and recruiting qualified teachers to meet the increasing demand. This approach allows some students to explore entry-level courses while also providing advanced options for those seeking to further develop their skills.
Night schools not only support self-improvement in artistic, cultural and other aspects but also contribute tothe development of new industries, benefiting both society and economy.
27. What are some of the activities that young people may NOT participate in at night schools according to the passage
A. Dancing classes. B. Wine tasting and vlog filming
C. Business management courses D. Beauty and fitness training.
28. Why has the “'night school craze” become popular among young people
A. Because they offer a way to make new friends. B. Due to a wide range of options and low costs.
C. Because they are a new trend. D. Bccause they are sponsored by the government.
29. As night schools continue to gain popularity, what measures are institutions taking to meet the increasing demand
A. Shortening course duration and lowering tuition fees
B. Reducing course offerings and dismissing unqualified teachers,
C. Expanding the variety of courses and hiring qualified teachers.
D. Only providing advanced courses for students seeking further development.
30. What can be inferred about the impact of night schools on society and economy
A. They are causing a decrease in the number of people working.
B. They are popular in urban areas while traditional rural settings lack the necessary exposure.
C. They are a threat to traditional educational institutions.
D. They play a role in promoting the growth of emerging industries while bringing benefits to society.

Dear Peter.
I'm Li Hua from Class 1.Our school held an event named “Reading Activity" last month. It enriched our campus life and improved our reading level. But there were also some problems. For example, students were required to read at least two books of any kind, and the understanding of which should be handed in to our teacher. However, some students, whose English were not very good, had difficulty in reading the books.
I think it is better to assign different levels of tasks to different students according to their English levels. I hope my advice will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua

As night schools continue to grow in popularity, institutions are expanding their course offerings and recruiting qualified teachers to meet the increasing demand. This approach allows some students to explore entry-level courses while also providing advanced options for those seeking to further develop their skills.

Dear Peter.
I'm Li Hua from Class 1.Our school held an event named “Reading Activity" last month. It enriched our campus life and improved our reading level. But there were also some problems. For example, students were required to read at least two books of any kind, and the understanding of which should be handed in to our teacher. However, some students, whose English were not very good, had difficulty in reading the books.
I think it is better to assign different levels of tasks to different students according to their English levels. I hope my advice will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
