Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.

22、 More and more parents are worrying about their daughters who have become overweight. Girls who think they aren’t popular at school are at higher risk for weight gain, according to a new study. It’s long been known that being overweight can lead to social exclusion for teens, but researchers at Harvard University discovered: whether a student’s opinions of her social position played a role in her weight.
To find out, the researchers measured the body weight of nearly 4,500 girls aged 12 to 18. Two years later, the researchers found all of the girls had gained weight—no surprise, since they were all growing. But girls who thought they were less popular at school were at a 70 percent higher risk of gaining extra weight.
The researchers considered something else besides the collected information, including whether a child was overweight at the start of the study, family income, a mother’s weight, diet, television viewing habits and some other things that can affect childhood weight gain. But the opinions of girl’s popularity are more likely to affect the girls, weight.
Experts suggested that parents concerned about a girl’s weight should look not only at eating habits but also at their child's social network, encouraging relationships with friends and joining in group activities. Meanwhile schools should also organize more programs to help girls build social skills, they added.
【1】Which kind of girls is less likely to gain extra weight?
A.Those who like watching TV for a long time per day.
B.Those whose parents show no sign of being overweight.
C.Those who are self-centered and not optimistic.
D.Those who enjoy meals rich in high oil and fat.
【2】What can parents do in controlling their teenage girls’ weight?
A.They encourage their kids to study hard.
B.They ask their daughters to cat whatever they want.
C.They record the body weight measurements of their own kids.
D.They make their kids communicate more with others.
【3】What can be concluded from this passage?
A.A rising number of teenager girls are becoming overweight.
B.Some schools have already organized various activities for teenage girls.
C.Girls aged 17 are certainly heavier than those aged 14.
D.The researchers reached the final discovery only by studying the collected information.
【4】How is the text organized?

B.opinion—supporting examples—conclusion—advice
C.opinion—supporting examples—solution—advice
D.topic—argument—conclusion—solution
23、Java’s Cafe is a fundamental extension of the Rochester experience, opening its arms to comfort coffee, tea, and dessert lovers alike. For the typical UR students, the Java’s on Gibbs St. has become a place of solace during stressful testing times, and on more heartwarming occasions, a social hub.
Slowly approaching its thirties, Java’s has enjoyed a good reputation in its local. In 1978, Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii. With great dedication to his craft, the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then. In 1992, Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs St. with the help of Michael Calabrese. This location, next to the Eastman School of Music, is the first of many shops Java Joe opened. As a lover of the blues, Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.
After Gibbs location, Joe planted Java Joe’s where he was first starting out—in the Public Market. Later, Java Joe’s moved to a nearby building, and received a name change—Java’s at the Market Coffee Roasters. This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care. However, in 1997 he licensed “Java Joe’s” to Calabrese, who then renamed the Gibbs Cafe to what we know today—Java’s Café.
Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Joe died of lung cancer at 68. The influence he had poured into his business is well-known and highly regarded. He has won many awards in his life.

24、Jo Land, a 53-year-old teacher, was horrified when she realised how much her son’s school uniform was going to cost. She started thinking: “If it was this expensive for us, how on Earth must families with more children cope? And that’s not taking into account the cost of living. Food, fuel and energy prices are going up for everyone. It seems wrong if it prevents some children from attending school. ”
Therefore, Land bought a new plastic dustbin and put it outside her house, with a sign reading, “School uniform drop-off”. She set up an online group called School Uniform Swap and asked people to donate good-quality used uniforms for free. The operation started to grow almost immediately. People drive up and drop the clothing in her bin. Land sorts through it, keeps it and posts details about donations on her group. Recipients can come and collect at their leisure. She even drops clothes at the homes of people without cars.
“Every child going to school deserves to feel smart and proud. We don’t want children to go to school feeling negative, because that affects their learning. ”Land says. There is also a beneficial impact on the environment—the project stops good-quality uniforms ending up as landfill. Land has noticed that people rarely take without also giving: “Sometimes people leave flowers on the bin, or they drop off some outgrown clothes as well, even if it’s just a polo shirt or a few jumpers.” She says she has never received soiled uniform: “Everything is always really clean.”
Parents send messages to express their thanks, saying she is doing a wonderful thing and talking about how hard things are at the moment. Land also receives so many messages from people who are absolutely desperate, because they cannot afford uniforms for their children. She is thinking about all the people in her community who will struggle this winter. Her determination to ensure children can access the uniforms they deserve grows ever stronger.
【1】What inspired Land to launch the donation of school uniforms?
A.The school’s request.
B.The environmental needs.
C.The price of school uniforms.
D.The students’ personal tastes.
【2】What can we know about the used uniforms?

D.People have to drive to get them.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It seems that friendship can also exist between dogs and horses. I’ve witnessed one inspiring case.
One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most.
I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again.
The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight.
Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created.

Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me.
