More than 750，000 have graduated from SAC， with many seeking employment in engineering， aviation， education， medicine and a wide variety of other professions． They come to camp， wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot， and they leave with real﹣world applications for what they're studying in the classroom．
For the trainees，the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges（荣誉徽章）． At Space Camp， trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets， learn about space tasks and try simulated （模拟） flying to space with the crew from all over the world． The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge． They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit（驾驶舱）of a variety of flight simulators． Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water﹣and land﹣survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of a "downed" pilot．
With all the programs， teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task．
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18． Families can enjoy the experience together， too， with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7．

Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. Your friends’ lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but new research shows it is because they are faking (伪造) it.
A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers based on what they saw on their Instagram, Snapehat or Facebook pages.
The British survey, by smart phone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and family.
Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world of instant communication.” she said. “Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines; now people are in search of authentic, peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers.”
“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know what our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got them.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram, 76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.
24. How do some people make their lives appear more exciting?
A. By buying pictures. B. By posting images.
C. By making up stories. D. By risking their lives.
25. What does the underlined word “jealousy” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Adventure B. Conflict C. Envy D. Misunderstanding
26. What can we learn from Hemmings?
A. The trend reflects the development of social media.
B. Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines.
C. Magazines and newspapers are less important.
D. The trend is beyond people’s expectation.
27. Which of the following best describes social media like Instagram?
A. Positive B. Creative C. Persuasive D. Honest
C
Why do people lie？ Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood． There are various reasons why children make false statements． They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past． Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents． If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories， then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years．
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends． This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people． In some instances， teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends．
As teenagers grow， lying becomes one of their habits． Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed． People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently． Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home． The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character． Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological（病态的） lying．
Pathological lying is a mental health condition， which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements． Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything． These individuals pretend to meet the standards of other people who they want to please． These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure． One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times． This may be hard for them， but as they are accustomed to it， they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories．
28. The underlined word " reprimand" in Paragraph 1 means " ______ "．
A. satisfy B. criticize C. discourage D. praise
29. Teenagers tell lies mainly because they want to ______ .
A. avoid being punished． B. fool other people．
C. attract others' attention． D. satisfy others．
30. What are patients suffering pathological lying most likely to do？
A. They really want to play jokes on others
B. They always like making up pleasing stories
C. They usually want to show off themselves by making some statements
D. They often suffer from some other diseases．
31. How does the writer explain pathological lying ？
A. By showing some typical examples
B. By predicting the future consequences
C. By analyzing its causes and development
D. By listing a group of phenomena
D
At schools across the United States, students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat, sodium, and sugar. But kids at Public School(P.S.) 216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience. Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
P.S. 216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project, a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995. The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum. Students grow and maintain crops, harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.
Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement. She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students．
Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from. In 1993, she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden. It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House. She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden, often with help from local school children.
"That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from," Waters said, praising the former First Lady's concern for young people's health. "We are just building this movement, and it is very exciting."
"Through the Edible Schoolyard Project, students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom." Neglia said. "P.S. 216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture, nutrition, food safety, and the restaurant business."
Similar classes are taking place around the country. So far, the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools. "I'm thinking about the future of the planet, "Waters said. "I'm doing this for our generation."
32. ?What's the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project?
A. To reduce students'stress.
B. To let students eat healthy food.
C. ?To improve schools'environment.
D. ?To expect students to experience farming.
33. ?What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. The project made Waters famous.
B. Running a garden was too difficult for students.
C. Waters thought highly of what Michelle Obama did.
D. The former First Lady should care about young people.
34. From the text we can infer that ______ .
A. ?P. S. 216 belongs to the pioneers in the Edible Schoolyard Project
B. ?P. S. 216 mainly teaches kids about careers in food industry
C. ?Waters' project is not well received by many schools
D. ?Waters had no difficulty in starting vegetable garden
35. ?What can be the best title for the text?
A. Students should eat healthily
B. A famous school—P. S. 216
C. Processed foods should be advised
D. ?A chef helps create green schoolyards

You are right to greet summer with joy. But summer also usually comes with plastic waste that will choke the planet for the rest of time. 36
Get a reusable bag. The average bags are hard to recycle, and they end up in trash cans and floating out to the oceans. Also practice this phrase over and over again: “I don’t need a bag.” 37 If you don’t, the cashier will wrap your goods in four plastic bags.
Buy a good water bottle. A good water bottle is 1 billion times worth the investment. 38 It will also remind you that a plastic water bottle is extremely inefficient to get your water delivery, for you need more than a single plastic bottle for water supply.
39 Summer involves being wet all the time. Keep something that can be used for wiping sweat off your forehead or your hands. These are about $2 at your local convenience store, and they save you from having to waste a lot of tissues on your disgusting, sweaty body.
If all of this isn’t enough to consider cutting down your waste, try collecting all the plastic you use in a day, dumping it in your bathtub, and trying to have a relaxing bath. 40 Only you can prevent a huge amount of plastic garbage from entering our oceans this summer.
Carry a sweat rag.
You’ll need a good cooler.
That’s what is happening to our oceans
Here’s how to have a plastic-free summer
It will remind you to drink enough water.
Conservationists insist no celebration this summer.
Say it automatically every time you’re at the register.
