An eight-year-old girl in Texas has designed a pop-up classroom to help poor children.

Elliott considers herself a person     2     tries to improve people’s lives and reduce suffering. Now, she     3     (raise) money to take her pop-up classroom to Uganda, in Africa.

4 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Zhang Guimei has committed her life to improving girls’ education in a remote, mountainous region in Yunnan Province by     1     (start) China’s first free high school for female students. Her story has moved millions of Chinese people and is now written into a newly     2     (publish) book — Brief History of the People’s Republic of China. It described her     3     a moral model who uses love and wisdom to help thousands of rural     4     (girl) realize their dreams.

5 . Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat.     1     And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big report sits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?

To understand this, we conducted a series of studies with 6,445 people. Through this research, we identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.

We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect?     2     When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.

These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work.     3     They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.

    4     To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video. If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose videos that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.

So, if you’re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’re consuming.     5     Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.

A．It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.

B．You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.

C．Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.

D．These platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.

E．Prior research suggests that the three factors all increase the accessibility of similar media.

F．The good news is, a better understanding of the problem can give us the tools to escape it.

G．This will become a problem if it keeps you from doing the things you actually want to be doing.

Established in 1995, Youth Farm has developed from a garden program into a youth development organization. We engage hundreds of youth in leadership development form.

Our Mission and Goals
◇We farm to grow food.

From strawberries to carrots, our youth seed, plant, grow, and harvest our food and bring it to our communities' forks

◇We farm to grow community.

We live and work in diverse neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are amazing, but also face numerous challenges related to food access and quality youth development programming. Youth farm does the best to meet the challenges.

◇We farm to grow leaders.

At Youth Farm, assisting youth in their development as leaders is the most important part of our work. We work to engage young people as problem solvers to a variety of issues, from food access to quality education. We are not growing the next generation of farmers, but youth leaders who will become amazing teachers, scientists, community organizers, politicians and so much more.

Our Programs
Growing Season Programming

The growing season is a busy time for us. Our youth take on an active role in planting and monitoring garden spaces throughout the entire season. Youth are also involved in volunteer farm work days.

School Year Programming

During the school year, youth attend farm classes, cooking classes, and gardening classes. School year programs and community involvement opportunities through food-based activities are key elements to Youth Farm’s success.

Community Events

We also involve our youth in community events such as fairs, markets, and community meals. When participating in events, youth are offered real world planning and engagement opportunities. They will be introduced to the community as leaders in the local food movement.
