Shayden Walker, from Amarillo, Texas, went to his neighbour’s house looking for children his age. He stopped by and talked to his neighbour through the family’s front door security camera. His neighbour, Brennan Ray, responded and told him there were some kids nearby. But that wouldn’t do for Shayden. “They’re not my friends anymore because they’re bullies (仗势欺人者),” the boy said. The two carried on a short conversation about whether Ray had kids of his own Shayden could play with. Ray’s daughter is just a baby though, he told the boy.
The conversation inspired Ray to post the video on TikTok, hoping to connect with the boy’s family. “You never know what people are going through until you get a chance to talk to them. This young man is well mannered, kind, and brave. So TikTok, can we help Shayden make some friends ” Ray said in the video. The post got nearly 69 million views.
Shayden was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) and some other mental health disorders, said his mother, Krishna Patterson. “People need to know that these mental health issues can make children, even adults, feel sad and alone. Shayden has had a hard time maintaining friendships and sometimes has ‘meltdowns’ that include crying and accidentally hurting himself and other people who try to calm him down,” she added. When he had these meltdowns, people were like “We don’t want our kids to hang out with your kid”.
After his recent visit to the Rays’ house and hearing from so many kind people, he said he feels “pretty good”. He has made friends all over the world, including from Hawaii, China, Australia and England. Ray and his wife also started a GoFundMe. The page raised over $37,000 for Shayden to go towards whatever he wants, including a gaming setup, school clothes and amusement park (游乐园) tickets. Shayden’s mum said he wants to donate some of the money to some charities.
As for Ray, his video has taught the world a lesson in kindness and acceptance.

Are you interested in food, United States history, and the English language If so, American cookbooks provide wide information in all three subjects. The first, published in1796, started a market that continues in the 21st century with online publications of such works. And, the literature offers more than just recipes (食谱).
Amy Bentley is a food historian at New York University. She said that cookbooks from the 1800s were use a as lifestyle and household guides. They include food recipes, but they were not central to the books back then. “So, there re some recipes for food, but it could be recipes for a cleaning solvent (溶剂) or what to do when your child has been poisoned and how to clean,” Bentley said.
American Cookery by Amelia Simmons is the first cookbook published in the United States. Simmons wrote that her goal with the book was to improve the new generation of women in the US. And after the Civil War, cookbooks became more manifold. Writers started exploring local foods and customs in their work.
Some communities would put together a group cookbook to raise money. These cookbooks provide a ook into what the American middle class was eating throughout the years. Such works serve as a record of the traditions and interests of different neighbourhoods and groups.
Throughout the years cookbooks have signified humanity’s growth in knowledge, trends (趋势) and inventions. During the last part of the 19th century, for example, many recipes were informed by the dangers of food containing bacteria (细菌). Then, in the 1930s, refrigerators (冰箱) became common objects in American homes. But cookbooks are not complete reflections of American life. Publishing companies mostly control cookbook content. And, their main goal is to make money from book sales.
In the 21st century, with the growth of social media and food websites, publishing companies have less control. These new ways to share recipes have led to more open discussions about food and cooking. This gives the public more choices and power.
5. What can you find in the cookbooks from the 1800s
A. Travel guides. B. Popular clothes.
C. Cleaning methods. D. Historical events.
6. What does the underlined word “manifold” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Various. B. Famous. C. Challenging. D. Serious.
7. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning refrigerators
A. To tell the importance of refrigerators.
B. To show the development of technology.
C. To provide an example of social problems
D. To prove cookbooks reflect the progress of human life.
8. From which part of a magazine is the text probably taken
A. Language. B. History. C. Culture. D. Education.
C
From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to overuse technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented.
A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team from the US-based company Toll Free Forwarding built a 3-D model to uncover the harmful effects technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone harms your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert in the US. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back bent (驼背) and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (手机手),” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician in Serbia, told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers in the UK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.
The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France, Germany and the UK. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are swollen (肿胀的) due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.
9. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To start a debate. B. To introduce the topic.
C To give suggestions. D. To add background information.
10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The advanced design of Mindy.
B. The influence of the computer model.
C. The n me people spend on the mobile phones.
D. The bad effects of mobile phones on our bodies.
11. What does Emma look like
A. Unhealthy. B. Tall. C. Thin. D. Beautiful.
12. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Two Models Serve As Human Helpers
B. More Attention Shall Be Paid to Our Necks
C. Technology Might Change Our Body Shape
D. People Should Stay Away from Computer Games

59. 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。
Emily had two exams that day — physics and history. She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Ann looked at her, and then looked away quickly. Emily thought Ann looked pleased, because she didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything…Miss Perfect!
“I thought we were friends, but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks now. She promised to help me go over for the physics exam too, but then she’s forgotten all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy.” Emily thought angrily. At that moment, Mr. Black asked all the students into the exam room.
Emily couldn’t answer some physics questions. Suddenly she saw Ann sitting two rows in front of her. Emily couldn’t believe it! Ann was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Ann always got such good grades She felt really angry at Ann, and thought about telling the teacher, but… “Stop writing,” said Mr. Black and started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Emily hadn’t answered two of the questions, She was going to fail again!
Emily wanted to talk to Ann at lunchtime, but she couldn’t find her anywhere. Emily went to the library to prepare for the history exam, which was her favourite. But she couldn’t concentrate. “Unfair! Ann was getting good grades by cheating (作弊) all that time.” She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. Just then, Mr. Black walked past her table. “Mr. Black…”
Emily was sitting behind Ann again in the history exam that afternoon. Mr. Black wanted her to keep an eye on Ann during the exam.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
She was working on the last question when she saw Ann take out her phone. Emily nodded to Mr. Black. Mr. Black went to Ann quietly and picked up Ann’s phone. All was clear, and Mr. Black asked her to leave the classroom. Ann walked out crying. Everyone was staring at her. Emily didn’t feel very happy. She thought Ann might hate her for this. But considering what Ann had done before, she felt she had done the right thing.
After school, Emily found Ann waiting for her at the school gate. “Emily, please wait,” Ann said. “I’m sorry I haven’t answered any of your calls, but my dad’s been ill for two weeks and had a heart operation today. During exams I was reading texts from my mum to see how it was going. I have explained to Mr. Black and he asked me to take the exam again. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you what was happening.” Emily couldn’t help crying, either. “You should have told me this earlier. Let me know if you have difficulties. We are true friends.”
