A
A crowd cheered Kunle Adeyanju as he turned off his motorbike engine after completing a tiring 41-day trip．The 44-year-old left London on April 19 and arrived in Nigeria's commercial centre Lagos on Sunday after travelling more than 8，000 miles across 13 countries．He started the impressive journey to raise funds for Rotary International to deal with polio (小儿麻痹症) in his native Nigeria．
Accompanied by a dozen bikers for the last stretch of the journey from the Republic of Benin，Adeyanju was welcomed by supporters in Ikeja，in central Lagos．Adeyanju，called “Lion Heart” by fans，won popularity among the public by posting daily pictures with comments about his journey on social media．At every stop along the way，he was greeted by enthusiastic (热情的) supporters．
He did face some challenges，like the one in Mali where one of his wheels broke．“I was standing in the middle of the night，alone in a bush，not knowing what to do，without speaking the language，” he said，explaining he had to walk to the nearest village．“Fortunately，the locals helped me．” Not all of the challenges he faced were solved smoothly．“Mauritania，a country in north-west Africa，was ‘terrible’，” he said，after he got robbed of hundreds of euros．“The worst experience，” he added．
The former Shell employee self-funded his trip with $20，400 in savings，hoping to raise up to $48 million for Rotary International．“I have been suffering from a lack of sleep lately because I slept only three to four hours per night．But I feel proud because I finished this challenge，” Adeyanju said just after he arrived，wiping the sweat off his face．Adeyanju added that he is now planning to have a possible cycling trip to Ghana or a bike ride to Israel to help raise more funds．And he has another dream：to climb Mount Qomolangma．

Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with．Lately，it's all about environment-friendly materials—recycled tires，mushrooms，even pineapple fibers! What if you want such a pair of shoes Thaely is here to help．
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution．Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave，they may have found a winning approach：making shoes out of plastic grocery bags．“Thaely” means “plastic bags” in the Hindi language．
“I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment，” Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper．“I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste．” Plastic bags were the perfect solution．He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year．“I was motivated to find a solution to this problem，” Bhave said．
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex．Made entirely from plastic bags，the material looks and feels like leather．That sounds promising．Better yet，the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products．The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers．
Bhave wouldn't expose the full process for making ThaelyTex，but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles．Where do they get the materials Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part．“The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags．”
Finally，they got help from TrioTap Technologies，a waste management plant．Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex．
So far，it seems like things are falling into place．There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place．It sounds like they have some plans for the future．“We have a few more colours coming up，” said Bhave．They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing．Let's hope their growth is also friendly to the environment．
5．Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags
A．To set a new footwear trend．
B．To test new materials for footwear．
C．To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country．
D．To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way．
6．What was the most difficult task for Bhave
A．Having a few more colours for Thaely．
B．Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex．
C．Collecting enough production materials．
D．Dealing with many poisonous by-products．
7．The underlined part “put out” in the last paragraph probably means________________．
A．produce B．conserve
C．provide D．broadcast
8．What can be the best title for this passage
A．Bhave：a Promising Young Man
B．Thaely：Killer of Waste Plastic Bags
C．ThaelyTex：Material Out of Garbage
D．TrioTap Technologies：a Waste Management Plant

Lily and Susan had been best friends since kindergarten．They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable．One sunny afternoon，as they walked in the nearby park，chatting about their plans for the future，they saw an injured dog．
Without hesitation，Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog．They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic．The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine．Relieved，they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovers．
Their act of kindness brought them even closer，and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park．However，as high school progressed，their interests started to diverge(出现分歧)．Lily became passionate about painting，spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works，while Susan developed a deep interest in science，joining the school's science club and taking part in various competitions．
As time passed，they found themselves less and less in common．One day，a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule．Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn't understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extracurricular activities．They argued，and for the first time，their friendship seemed strained (紧张的)．
Feeling disheartened，both girls went their separate ways．But despite their differences，they couldn't shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared．
One evening，as Lily walked home from an art class，she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road，looking deep in thought．She hesitated but then gathered up courage to approach her．“Mind if I sit down？”she asked softly．Susan looked up，surprised but not unwelcoming．“I was just thinking about old times，” she admitted．“Me too，” Lily said quietly．
