One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story.

My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me.   Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.

I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.

6 . Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his Austin school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been-gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “I’m good at gardening,” says McKenna, now 16. “Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home?”

McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now, seven years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BEA GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.

“Even a smile might change someone’s life,” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”

When COVID-19 hit the U.S., MeKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (配送) to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, MeKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.

1. What caused Ian’s decision to help the kids in his own way?

A．Being rejected by volunteer groups.	B．Being good at gardening.
C．His school’s support.	D．His mother’s suggestions.

2. What do we know about the Giving Garden project?

A．It helps students only.	B．It was started with many supports.
C．It is funded by schools.	D．It earns great profits every year.

3. Which of the following can best describe Ian?

A．Well-educated

B．Honest

C．Responsible

D．Caring.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A．Ian McKenna, Growing a Food Project	B．Ian Mckenna, an Experienced Gardener
C．Giving Garden Project, a Challenging Task	D．Giving Garden Project, a Universal Solution

7 . Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline.     1     Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to change this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.

    2     When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game.     3     While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.

Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently.     4    

Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books.     5     Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.

A．Audiobooks (有声书) still affect your thoughts and feelings.

B．Choose what is the most suitable for your needs.

C．Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence.

D．This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio.

E．Keep a book, an e-reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day.

F．Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline.

G．However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages

A Great Monday

Monday started out well. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test later that morning. I was confident of getting good grades. I left my house and ten minutes later, I sat with my friends on the school bus. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At the next stop, a student named Ryan got on the bus. He was in a rush and tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot. There was a loud noise as he fell to the floor.

Every one of us on the bus laughed. Ryan got up, brushed his jacket and went to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was red with embarrassment. The rest of the morning went by quickly. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. Soon we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. I noticed Ryan a few tables away, sitting by himself. He caught me looking at him. I smiled at him quickly and looked away.

When we finished eating, we went to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. That was when I felt my jeans (牛仔裤) split (裂开) down the middle of my backside.

I froze. I had no idea what to do. I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. I tried to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes.

10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式）

How would feel if moving to a new town meant     1     (lose) track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took     2     (age) to be delivered? Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed     3     (significant).

The digital age     4     (enable) us to find people who share our interests. Such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others     5     also enjoy doing them even if they live on     6     other side of the world. On social media sites, people tend     7     (post) only positive up dales that make them appear happy and     8     (friend). But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying：on the Internet. Nobody knows you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information     9     criminals.

But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire (获得) friends, the     10     (mean) of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
