On a bright, sunny day along the Crooked River in central Oregon, kids are fishing. But what’s happening in that river runs much deeper than catching a fish — exactly what Chad Brown was hoping for when he started Soul River. The Portland-based non-profit offers an escape into nature for kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
Chad had been in a bad car accident. Since then, he’s been dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trying to escape the anxiety and nightmares (噩梦). “I seemed to be lifeless. I couldn’t feel the air. I couldn’t feel the grass. I couldn’t smile,” he said. But when a friend took him fishing, he regained energy and life. “That brought me into the present where I could actually feel the air, feel the currents, that I’m standing in water... It made me feel alive.”
It was a turning point in Chad’s life. Drawing on the strength he found in nature, Chad discovered his life’s purpose and founded Soul River to share the healing (治愈的) power of nature, rivers, and fishing with at-risk inner-city youth.
In the process of enjoying nature, Chad realized that nature itself also needs to be protected, so he developed a program that takes youth into an environment where fresh water, land, wildlife, or local cultures are threatened. He works with conservation groups and Native American communities to determine which areas could use their attention and advocacy. Often, the locations are remote and extreme.
The goals of the program are layered. For the youth, it’s an opportunity to learn about leadership, relationship-building, and being integral to a community. Then, there’s a conservation and advocacy component, where the group learns about the environment they’re taken into, the specific threats it faces, and how they can be a force for good. The experience can help them find their own “Soul River” — their purpose, their passion, their connection to the outdoors and to each other.
For Chad, it’s a busy, nonstop cycle of planning, preparation, meetings, advocacy, and so on.
36. What motivated Chad to start Soul River
A. His remarkable outdoor skills. B. His work in wildlife conservation.
C. His childhood fishing experiences. D. His desperate struggle with PTSD.
37. What is the key feature of Chad’s program
A. Teaching youth fishing techniques. B. Encouraging youth to explore new cities.
C Involving youth in community building. D. Connecting youth with remote wilderness.
38. What does the underlined word “it” in the second-to-last paragraph refer to
A. The program. B. The group. C. The environment. D. The experience.
39. How might Chad’s program impact youth
A. It enables them to learn from great leaders.
B. It promotes their growth and eco-awareness.
C. It pushes them to pursue environmental careers.
D. It improves their survival skills in extreme conditions.
40. What can be the best title for the text
A. Discovering Your Soul River in Nature
B. Empowering Youth Through Leadership
C. Healing PTSD Through Outdoor Adventures
D. Joining Soul River to Protect Local Cultures
C
Not all memories are sweet. Some spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
In November experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher.
“All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”
41. What is the main purpose of the pill being developed by American researchers
A. To enhance happy memories.
B. To erase all memories of an event.
C To reduce the impact of bad memories.
D. To help people sleep better after work.
42. How does the drug work
A. It stops the body from releasing certain chemicals.
B. It helps the body release more chemicals.
C. It directly erases the memories in the brain.
D. It helps people sleep better.
43. Which group will benefit from the pill according to the passage
A. Students with exam anxiety.
B. Soldiers returning from war.
C. Elderly people with memory loss.
D. Doctors treating physical injuries.
44. Which statement reflects Rebecca Dresser’s view on bad memories
A They should always be erased.
B. They contribute to personal growth.
C. They are not related to identity.
D. They require medical treatment.
45. What can we infer from the passage
A. The pill has been widely used.
B. The research has no practical value.
C. We should use the drug properly.
D. Everyone is in favor of the research.

Pearl Moss looked out her front window in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. She was instantly worried. A major snowstorm over the weekend had dropped nearby a foot of snow in her driveway, and there was more on the way. She was recovering from shoulder surgery and didn’t have family members nearby who could help to dig her out.
A few hours later, there was a knock on her door. Moss looked out and was surprised to see two teenage boys with shovels (铁铲). David Shelpman and Aidan Campbell live in the same neighborhood as Moss and are on the football team at Bethel Park High School. Head Coach Brian DeLallo had emailed his team members on Sunday to inform them that their Monday’s workout in the school gym wasn’t going to happen. DeLallo also posted a notice on Twitter with some instructions: “Due to expected severe weather, Monday’s weightlifting workout has been canceled.” he wrote. “Find an elderly or disabled neighbor and shovel their driveway. Don’t accept any money — that’s our Monday workout.” Shelpman and about 40 other team members took their assignment seriously.
Helping elderly and disabled residents to dig out after snowstorms is a Bethel Park tradition that goes back two decades. In Bethel Park, community support of the football team is strong. “Our games are always well attended, so giving back is the right response,” DeLallo said.
Pearl Moss said she’s indebted to the teens, adding that if they hadn’t shown up, she probably would have been caught in her house for a while.
