21、 Toys for the Techie In Your Life
BY NICOLE NGUYEN, JOANNA STERN AND WILSON ROTHMAN
Each fall, we look back at the year's best tech products, and list the ones we think are actually worth your money (and ours). So have at it!
Lexon Oblio Phone Sanitizer/Charger
This stylish nightstand vase is a Qi-compatible (兼容) wireless charger that powers up your phone while bathing it in ultraviolet light, which is known to reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and may also be effective in inactivating the new coronavirus, according to the FDA. $80; lexon-design.com
MaskFone
The MaskFone is really just a mask with a pouch (袋子) that holds a pair of Motorola wireless earbuds, but it does solve some highly annoying mask-headphone issues. The earbuds, attached to the belts, stay firmly in your ear when walking or running. No more flying AirPod when you remove the mask. Then, with the microphone shoved (推) inside, you don't sound like you're underwater every time you take a call. Just beware: since there's no phone in sight, people you pass will think you're talking to them under your mask. S50; maskfone.com
LuDela Real-Flame Smart Candles ,
Sure, our gift guide tends to include some curiosities, but this remote-controlled selflighting candle actually makes sense.

22、Summer is not a good season for most people because of its hot weather. You’ve probably also got memories of asking your parents for money to buy one of those big chocolate ice creams, and being refused. Well, Matt Allen, known as the Ice Cream Man, is here to give both children and adults pleasant memories of summer. For the past four years, Allen has spent his summers driving an old ice cream truck named “Bessie”, handing out free ice creams to children and grown-ups. He’s traveled over 15,000 miles, and handed out more than 125,000 free ice creams.
At first Allen wanted to earn money by selling ice creams, as most people would. But in his first season of selling, he didn’t make very much money, and he had so many ice creams left that he wasn’t sure what to do with them. So he decided to give them away.
That may seem like a strange thing, but the Ice Cream Man did it. “You go through your life thinking you can change the world or thinking you cannot,” he says. “If those are the only two options, why don’t you at least try?”
“If I’m not going to make any money by selling ice creams, why not give them away, and make people happy?” Allen says. And so, every summer since that first one, he’s traveled coast to coast across America in his old Bessie, giving away ice creams.
【1】People call Allen the Ice Cream Man because ________.
A.it was his name when he was young
B.he sells ice creams
C.he likes ice creams
D.he hands out many free ice creams
【2】Which of the following has the closest meaning with the underlined word “options” in the third paragraph ?
A.opinions
B.choices
C.decisions
D.goals
【3】According to the passage, what is Allen’s attitude towards life?
A.He thought it necessary to have a try.
B.He didn’t care about what happened.
C.He thought it important to wait and see.
D.He didn’t think life was very easy.

【5】
If you have time after your basic introduction, ask your new students if they'd like to know anything more about you.

24、Richard Croft had never struggled to feed his three dogs before, but when he was forced to stop working after being diagnosed with cancer, their monthly food bill was difficult to keep up with. He is one of dozens of people who have turned to the Blue Cross pet food bank in Grimsby, set up in June to help people in the area struggling to feed their pets amid the cost of living crisis.
Stocked (提供货物) entirely by donations from the local community, there is a steady stream of people stopping by to pick up food for their dogs and cats every Tuesday and Thursday. In a two-hour period last Tuesday, the food bank helped 76 animals from 32 families.
“Week on week we’re seeing more and more people. As fast as the food is coming in, it’s literally touching the shelf and going back out again,” said Cristina Pool, who runs the service alongside her fellow veterinary (兽医) nurse, Hannah Cardey.
“A lot of people come and they actually get quite emotional,” said Cardey. “Some people feel a bit embarrassed that it’s come to the point where they can’t feed their pet. For some people their pet is like their child, so they feel quite ashamed.”
The origins of the food bank started in January, when staff at the Grimsby Blue Cross animal hospital noticed an increase in emaciated (憔悴的) animals coming in for treatment who clearly were not getting the right nutrition. “There was a particular one, a really emaciated boxer dog. So she was one of the cases that made us think, there really is a need for this,” said Pool.
After first operating out of a cupboard, the food bank is now based in a small building next to the animal hospital, and the Blue Cross is rolling out the pet food bank plan nationally.
【1】What information can we get about the Blue Cross pet food bank?
A.It is run by volunteers.
B.It was set up in January.
C.It distributes pet food twice a week.
D.It relies on partly donations from the local community.
【2】How do some people feel when they get pet food?
A.Excited.
B.Guilty.
C.Grateful.
D.Anxious.
【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A.The cruel conditions of some pets.
B.The function of the Blue Cross pet food bank.
C.The reason for opening the Blue Cross pet food bank.
D.The present situation of the Blue Cross pet food bank.
【4】What is the future of pet food bank like?
