Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it a secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.

Ways of Staying Safe in College
If you plan on attending a university in a large city, please follow these tips.
Whether you live in the countryside or live near the school, you will want to know the weather so you can be ready for the day.
Carry a little extra cash
Chances are if you go to school in the city, you will be taking public transportation almost every day. The last thing you want is to lose your bus or train pass. Carrying some extra cash is great for feeling secure. It also allows you to buy lunch if you need to or get last-minute supplies while you’re out.
Unfortunately, crime is more likely to happen in the city. Be aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye out for any strange behavior. Plus, you should be paying attention to walking traffic. Don’t embarrass yourself by running into others. Keep your head up! Keep this in mind when you are on public transportation as well.
Oftentimes people will decide to walk across the street even though the crosswalk sign says not to. However, not all of these people have the best judgement. A car may be moving much quicker than it looks or there may be a car you just don’t see. Don’t be in such a hurry. It’s not worth getting hurt!
A. Check the weather.
B. Don’t ignore crosswalks.
C. Get around now and then.
D. Don’t bury your face in your phone.
7 . Super Space Seeds
How to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward.
Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高秆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug. 30.
While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant — it begins with a seed and ends with a mature plant producing new seeds.
Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seeds, thanks to micro-gravity, lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth.
For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares.
According to an engineer from Hainan Aerospace (航天) Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle shortened from 13 months to 9 months.

8 . Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up. “There’s a cyclone coming, Emily,” he called to his wife. “I’ ll go to look after the stock.” Then he ran towards the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Emily dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her about the danger close at hand. “Quick, Dorothy!” she screamed. ”Run for the cellar(地窖)!“ Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Emily, badly frightened, threw open the door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt.
Then a strange thing happened. The house circled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. It was very dark, and the wind blew horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few twists and turns, and one other time when the house tipped(倾斜)badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle(摇篮).
At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her. In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

9 . We are surrounded by the news about COVID-19 and other viruses (病毒), but how much do you really know about them? Viruses that infect (传染) humans nearly always cause illness. Fortunately, just as we know a lot about how viruses harm us, so do we know how to prevent them. These facts are a good place to start.
·Being infected without signs is possible
Some viruses, including those that cause herpes, COVID-19, and AIDS, can be spread through asymptomatic (无症状的) people and presymptomatic (症状发生前的) people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some of them may even be “super-spreaders”, infecting dozens to hundreds of other people without even realizing it. Take action to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.
·Hand washing is protective
Wash your hands. This is a piece of advice given by World Health Organization (WHO). Make sure to wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and dry your hands on a clean towel. Don’t use air dryers in public restrooms.
·Regular exercise is helpful
Do regular exercise. Regular exercise, which can include taking quick walks, has been shown to improve your immune system, thus reducing your possibilities of developing a cold or the flu. But don’t overdo it, for example, training for a long marathon without professional guidance.
·Herd immunity (群体免疫) is hard to achieve
You may have read that you needn’t get vaccinated (疫苗) if you live in a place where most people have had the disease or the vaccine, allowing you to make use of herd immunity. But effective herd immunity requires that more than 90 percent of the population be vaccinated against a disease.
1. Which of the following is TRUE about “super-spreaders”according to the text?| A．They have many signs of the illness. |
| B．They may infect a lot of people. |
| C．They prevent spreading the viruses. |
| D．They realize they are spreading viruses. |
| A．washing hands for enough time |
| B．doing exercise regularly |
| C．avoiding using air dryers in public restrooms |
| D．training for a long marathon without professional guidance |
| A．lots of people in his place have the vaccine |
| B．over 9/10 of the people in his place are vaccinated |
| C．people in his place are fighting against the disease |
| D．most people in his place are infected by the disease |
| A．Some virus facts that we should know. |
| B．Some news about COVID-19 and other viruses. |
| C．Some facts about how to fight against COVID-19. |
| D．Some facts that cause COVID-19 and other viruses. |
Outside, it was raining cats and dogs. Rose got up at 5:50 in the early morning. She got dressed in a hurry as it was Monday, when the school she taught in would hold a short but important meeting. Then she dashed into the washroom and had her teeth brushed. With everything ready, she went downstairs and waited for Jack, her husband, to get up.
After what seemed like a century, Rose got very angry and her patience ran out. She began to shout angrily, ”Can’t you get up a little earlier? Look, we’ll be late for the meeting!“ Jack, who was always arrogant and disobedient, shouted back, ”Why should I get up so early?“ Jack’s words threw Rose into great fury and she got extremely angry, shouting ”Are you a man? Why are you always so slow at everything? I hate it when I have to wait for you all the time!“
Upon finishing her words. Rose rushed out of the house, leaving her husband far behind. That’s the daily routine in the well-furnished house. Such unhappy scenes just put the couple in desperate situation, especially Rose. She just couldn’t make out why things got this bad between her and her husband. 23 years ago, they fell in love with each other while studying at college. At that time they were always greedy for more time to stay together. During those memorable days, John would always wait for her down the dormitory, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand. They would go to the theater, enjoying a movie that would always interest both of them. Now things seemed different. They often argued about small things, like who was responsible for the laundry.
Memories of the once gentle and considerate young man would come flooding back to Rose, making Rose miss the good old days and the good young man in her memory as well. Tears welling up in her eyes, Rose got into her car. She was on the point of getting mad. Disappointed with the present life. Rose spent a lifeless day in her school. She felt a desperate need to let out her stormy feeling.
After work, Rose drove her car into the heavy late afternoon traffic, alone. Despite the fact that the argument happened between her husband and her in the morning, she was still in a blue mood. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. So upset was Rose that tears blurred her eyes, making everything vague to her.
