Niam, who lives in Toronto, was diagnosed(诊断)with autism at the age of two. Niam is in special education class and loves school. Last summer Nina Jain bought her son some art supplies to give him something to do.

She never thought it would lead to a passion(酷爱)and a career, but soon after she posted Niam's first paintings online, a lot of people started buying them.Some were from family and friends. But most came from sharp­eyed collectors.

Niam has already sold 46 paintings across Canada and the US. He's made nearly $20, 000, and the number keeps growing.

“I don't know how he can do this because this is the work of a kind of successful mid­career painter, ” says a gallery owner after he pointed out Niam's mastery(精通)of the technique of mixing and layering(分层堆积)colours.

“Since he has paintings and he loves to do what he does, he has a reason to get up in the morning and that's really, really important, ” Nina says.

Morning and night, Niam can be found in his studio, sometimes painting for hours at a time, on more than one canvas at a time.

For this artist, there's no way of knowing what his next creation will be or what will encourage him next. The future is a canvas for his imagination.

25、We all know plastic pollution has become a serious problem. One million plastic drinking bottles are thrown away every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is exactly what Toby Mc Cartney has done.

In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built a plastic road in Elgin town, Scotland. The plastic waste was made into grains (颗粒) and then mixed with bitumen (沥青). The road looks just like any other road. But it has improved strength and is more stretchy (有弹性的) thanks to the plastic.

“Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather,” McCartney said.

McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes (路面的坑洼) and burn it. The plastic would melt down (融化) and fill the holes,” said McCartney.

“I knew that there must be some correspondences between plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.

After lots of testing, McCartney found the perfect method. And now his company has built many plastic roads around the world. A one-kilometer stretch of road uses about 684,000 plastic bottles or 1.8 million plastic bags. The road itself can be recycled and the materials can be reused to build new roads.

“We’re just a small part of ending the plastic problems, but it’s nice to be part of it,” McCartney said. “I just don’t want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastics in the ocean than fish.”

【1】Compared with normal roads, the plastic road ________.

a. is not easy to break   b. is fit for hot weather   c. is more stretchy   d. costs more money

A．ab

B．ac

C．bc

D．bd

【2】McCartney got the idea of building the plastic road from ________.

A．too many changes in the weather

B．his wish to reduce plastic pollution

C．his knowledge of plastic and bitumen

D．Indian people’s way of dealing with potholes

【3】The underlined word “correspondences” in this passage means ________.

A．competitions

B．connections

C．differences

D．reasons

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A．children should also join to reduce plastic pollution

B．plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious

C．McCartney is ready to offer help in reducing plastic pollution

D．plastic problems will soon be solved with McCartney’s help

【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To describe how much a kid’s future matters.

B．To encourage every company to build a plastic road.

C．To help people understand how harmful plastic waste is.

D．To tell people plastic waste can be reused to build a road.

26、I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.

For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.

One day, we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea with milk. So I tried to drink tea with milk too.

Fish and chips is traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers! It is delicious!

At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus. Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.

Does Father's Day c【1】anxiety(焦虑)？Does it make you wish you had a better r【2】with your own father—or with your own children? Was your father your friend? Your enemy? Or was he just a man doing his best?

Some men are excellent dads but they are not the o【3】you'll see on posters for Father's Day: they are not the smiling men full of energy, but i【4】,they are the tired and underpaid(薪水不高的)men.

My good father was one of these exhausted men. He spent 12 hours working hard every day w【5】complaint so that we could live in a house and not in an apartment. I never thought he would show up at school plays I was in or attend the award events. Although my father didn't feel it necessary to be p【6】to show his support, he encouraged me whole—heartedly.

A good father loves unconditionally(无条件地）and allows you to understand him by actions. A b【9】dad always tells you your success is his success: your failure is his failure and he's not there as a support or a guide but as a j【10】. To my great father. I want to say "Thank you for what you've given us and all you've done."
