21、   Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window.

“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”

The man looked to be in his 60s. He was balding, and missing a few teeth. As Steller liked to tell the story, he laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”

Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was finished, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.

Until last year, Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘) around the city. She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.

“It’s more than a haircut,” she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”

Steller knew that a haircut could change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.

“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she said.

After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.

“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”

It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”

【1】How did Steller react to the man’s asking for help?

A.She paid no attention.

B.She offered a free haircut to him.

C.She sent a red chair to him as a present.

D.She told an interesting story to make him happy.

【2】What did Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in paragraph 6?

A.She thought it was a respectable job.

B.She had found more advantages for the job.

C.She considered haircut as a way to make friends.

D.She hoped her job could make a difference to others.

【3】What did Steller expect from Red Chair Project?

A.To earn a lot of money. B.To know more people.

C.To pass down the kindness. D.To make herself stand out.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.A Cut Above. B.A Beautiful Salon.

C.The Good Belief. D.The Miracle of Love.

22、In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure. Several courses at a time, exams, homework, social challenges, homesickness, etc. are some common factors that make a student worried. In many cases, students struggle to adjust to heavy schedules and deadlines demanded by their institutions.【1】

Exercise

Doing exercise or participating in different kinds of sports helps to reduce stress and allows us to have a fresh and cheerful mind. 【2】Besides, doing yoga, meditation, cycling, and hanging out with friends and family will help a student to have a positive mood throughout the day.

Healthy diet

Many students like to eat junk food rather than a healthy diet. But everyone should know that a balanced diet helps to boost energy and brainpower. Eating green vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamin C helps to make the immune system stronger and more effective. 【3】And gradually you might become more inactive and unhealthy, which can badly affect your life and study.

Sleeping well

Sleeping can be the best medicine for you to increase your productivity and energy. Even a thirty minutes nap makes one more relieved. In many cases, we see that students packed with heavy schedules and deadlines put themselves in a sleepless and restless state.【4】So, it’s necessary to sleep at least 7-9 hours daily.

【5】

Many students don’t know how to reduce tension in the exam. The key to reducing the tension and stress of the exam is to use time wisely. Setting up a daily schedule for your study is necessary to complete your lessons and homework properly.

A．Time management

B．On the other hand, eating street food or junk food like pizza, or burger makes you overweight.

C．Here are some tips on how to reduce stress for students.

D．But it is very harmful to both body and mind.

E．Students should have enough sleep and sports every day.

F．Stress reduction.

G．Walking thirty minutes daily or doing everyday workouts helps to feel better.

23、GETTING A GRANT

Who pays?

The local education authority(LEA)for the area in which the student is living.

Who can get this money?

Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.

SPECIAL CASES

If a student has worked before going to college?

A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money---£155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of £615 at 29 or more.

If a student is handicapped?

LEAs will give up to £ 500 to help meet extra expenses---such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.

Banking?

Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts(in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by £100 or so, and still don’t make charges(though they do charge interest).

【1】The underlined phrase “A GRANT” in the first line most probably means ________.

A．bank interest

B．a credit card

C．an education fee

D．financial aid

【2】A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has worked since she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?

B．£155

C．£615

D．£515.

【3】A big bank offers a new student special services because ________.

A．they need student accounts badly

24、AQUILA Children’s Magazine is the most intelligent read for curious kids. Full of enthusiastic articles and challenging puzzles, every issue covers science, history and general knowledge. AQUILA is a quality production, beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork throughout.

● Intelligent reading for 8-12 year-olds

● Cool science and challenging projects

● Inspires self-motivated learning

● Exciting new topic every issue

AQUILA is created and owned by an independent UK company. It has 28 pages, printed on high-quality paper and there are no advertisements or posters. Instead it is full of well-written articles, thought-provoking ideas and great contemporary artwork. Each monthly issue is centred around a new topic.

AQUILA works as a superb learning extension to current primary (or KS2 and KS3) curriculum (课程), but it is much more than that! Entertaining and always surprising, AQUILA is recommended because it widens children’s interest and understanding, rather than encouraging them to concentrate only on their favourite subjects. It gives children a well-rounded understanding of the world, in all its complexity.

The concepts in AQUILA can be challenging, requiring good comprehension and reading skills. 8 years is usually a good age to start. Some gentle interest from an adult is often helpful at the start.

In 2020 AQUILA will have been in publication for 28 years, but it has never appeared in newsstands or shops. We are subscription only.

AQUILA Subscription

UK: 12 Months £55 - 4 Months £30
