For generations, the name Milton Hershey has been a well-known word closely connected with fine chocolate products throughout the country and around the world. He was born in 1857 on a farm near Derry Church, a small Pennsylvania community. Frequent family moves interrupted his schooling and left him with limited education. He only completed the fourth grade.
Following a four- year apprenticeship (学徒期) with a Lancaster candy maker, he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. That initial effort failed as did his next two attempts in Chicago and New York. However, he never gave up his hope to build up his own business. Returning to Lancaster in 1883, Hershey established the Lancaster Caramel Company, which quickly became an outstanding success. It was this business that established him as a candy maker and set the stage for future achievements.
Hershey became fascinated with German chocolate-making machinery exhibited at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. He bought the equipment for his Lancaster plant and soon began producing various chocolate creations. Then in 1900, he sold the Lancaster Caramel Co. in order to focus entirely on his chocolate business.
Three years later, Hershey returned to Derry Church to build a new factory. There he could obtain the large supplies of fresh milk needed to perfect and produce fine milk chocolate. Through trial and error, he created his own formula for milk chocolate. In 1903 he began construction on what was to become the world’s largest chocolate plant. After its completion, Hershey’s milk chocolate quickly became the first nationally marketed product of its kind.
With Milton Hershey’s success came a great sense of social responsibility. Hershey created a completely new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and broad cultural opportunities. The town of Hershey continues to be a special place for its residents and a popular attraction for millions of visitors each year. Indeed, Milton Hershey’s achievements do speak for themselves.
4. What stopped Hershey from having systematic school education
A. His lack of interest in study. B. His family’s continual relocation.
C. His failure to meet school requirements. D. His parents’ attaching little value to education.
5. Why did Hershey sell his Lancaster plant
A. The plant had suffered a huge loss. B. The produced candies were of low quality.
C. His machinery business needed a lot of money. D. He decided to devote himself to chocolate production.
6. Which of the following best describes Hershey
A. gentle and open-minded. B. Honest and generous.
C. Determined and public-spirited. D. Humorous and creative.
7. What does Hershey’s life story show
A. Well begun is half done. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Great hopes make great men.

Kids are even more in the pocket of social media companies than we think. Many of them have handed over their online free will to their phones. For them, the only acceptable online environment is the one designed by big tech algorithms (算法).
As children’s free time and imagination become more and more tightly joined to social media, we need to understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited a group of high school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before.
There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidable makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings.
Moreover, the high schoolers with whom I met revealed a hidden result of teenagers’ growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults — and they don’t seem to know what they’ve lost.
Left unaddressed, this will trap a generation in passive consumption and endless dissatisfaction. We should take some measures. We must inspire young people to answer a fundamental question: does true satisfaction come from machines doing our work, or from the human work of searching and discovering
8. What can we learn about social media companies from paragraph 1
A. They have a great impact on kids. B. They earn a lot of money from kids.
C. They make kids hand over their phones. D. They provide necessary services to kids.
9. Why do social media companies prefer content that generates negative feelings
A. Because it is more effective at keeping users’ attention.
B. Because it enhances users’ satisfaction with their products.
C. Because it encourages users to process negative emotions.
D. Because it is easier and cheaper to produce negative content.
10. According to the author, what is the consequence of children’s addiction to social media
A. A drop in their academic performance.
B. A feeling of less depression and loneliness.
C. The decline in their ability to explore and discover.
D. The failure to find community and learn about the world.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Digital Advances: Boosting Teen Well-being B. Financial Gain: Profiting from Social Media
C. The Algorithmic Trap: Harming Young minds D. Teenagers’ Battle: Fighting Social Media Addiction
D
Buying furniture is easier than ever. You can even order a new table and chairs online without ever leaving home. But did you ever think about how furniture is made The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velásquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.”
The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. While there is still a long way to actually grow a table the team was able to grow structures from cells from zinnia leaves. This approach to “growing” materials opens up unique possibilities. Lab-grown wood can be handled to take on any shape, like 3D printing, so it may be possible to build a table without glue or screwing parts together.
Beyond these immediate advantages, lab wood offers a more significant environmental benefit. Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests. “The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” said Velásquez- Garcia. “This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.”
Beckwith a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit to a farm to try to make land- use more efficient and environmentally sound. “That got me thinking: Can we be more strategic about what we’re getting out of our process Can we get more outputs for our inputs ” she told MIT News. “I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.”
Today, the two largest uses of trees are to make wood products and paper. When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value. These researchers, like Velásquez- Garcia, are speaking for the trees.
12. What can we know about lab-grown wood according to the passage
A. It has been used on a large scale to produce furniture.
B. Its production principle is comparable to that of cultured meat.
C. Its primary benefit is to make furniture cheaper for consumers.
D. Its production process is less efficient than the traditional way.
13. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Remove. B. Require. C. Risk. D. Delay.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. New materials will completely replace all uses of wood.
B. The researchers are protesting against the paper industry.
C. Forests will be managed for sustainable wood production.
D. Forests are currently valued mostly for their economic returns.
15. What is the primary purpose of the passage
A. To promote a new way of buying furniture. B. To advocate for the preservation of forests.
C. To introduce a new way of growing wood. D. To describe how wood products are made.

As the afternoon sun bathed the local beach with its warm, golden rays, four-year-old William sat on the beach with a mix of expectation and confusion. His dad, Steven, sat by his side. They were waiting for William’s friends to arrive and celebrate his long-awaited birthday party. He kept asking his dad where everyone was, and Steven just told him “they’re coming soon,” trying to ease his son’s growing impatience. But the longer they waited, the more hopeless William became. He was extremely disappointed when the two invited families called and said they could not make it to the celebration because of unexpected situations.
Watching his son, who had been eagerly expecting his special day for what seemed like ages, Steven felt a strong sense of guilt. He decided to turn to social media for help. He posted a lovely picture of him and William on the beach, their faces filled with a mix of hope and disappointment. The sincere words with the picture read, “William would love some friends to play with on the beach. To celebrate his fourth birthday, he has Hot Wheels, sand toys, dinosaurs, and we have some snacks and drinks. Any and all are welcome.”
William’s wish for companionship produced a strong response from the local people. They flooded the post with messages of support, birthday wishes, and offers to join the celebration.
Soon the beach was filled with scenes of joy. Children played together, building sandcastles and sharing their favorite toys. Parents chatted and connected, developing new friendships on the seashore. With laughter and cheer surrounding him, William blew out the candles on his birthday cake, a radiant smile lighting up his face.
