21、   After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.

The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.

Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.

Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.

【1】What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?

A.They were intelligent. B.They were hopeless.

C.They were unfriendly. D.They were independent.

【2】What major problem did Samuel need to solve?

A.The poverty of local people. B.The lack of facilities in his school.

C.The prejudice against the native kids. D.The unsuitable teaching methods.

【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.The change of native students.

B.The importance of learning English.

C.The improvement of native education.

D.Samuel's work for the native kids.

【4】What can we learn from Samuel's story?

A.Respect makes a big difference.

B.The academic performance comes first.

C.Everyone deserves access to education.

D.One method can't apply to each situation.

22、Creating a Welcoming Society for Guide Dogs

The four-and-a-half-year-old guide dog named Heimengmeng is more than just an assistance dog for Chen Yan — it is her companion as well as her family member.

“【1】 So simply relying on a cane (杖) and no guide dog would bring me a lot of unknown risks and dangers,” said Chen, a visually impaired piano tuner.

Teng Weimin, former vice chairman of China Association of the Blind, said that, there are 17 million blind people in China. 【2】

According to international standard based on the above figures, China currently has a requirement of 500 guide dogs, but only approximately 200 are there in the country for the reason that he concept of a guide dog is fairy new, Teng said.

Over the past decade, Chen has been trying to create more public awareness of guide dogs through her books, painting and social media platforms. 【3】 “Now even the hospital allows Heimengmeng to accompany me in the ward,” she said. “Other patients are also willing to share a ward with me despite my guide dog. 【4】”

The number of guide dogs in China has grown from zero to hundreds, with a many-fold increase in guide dog training centers. A guide dog handler hopes that there will be more supporting facilities to make it easier for blind people to travel around.

“If the society is more tolerant of guide dogs, blind people can walk around more freely. 【5】” Teng said.

A．I feel very grateful.

B．My job requires me to travel frequently.

C．Of them, about 9 million are in employment.

D．Guide dogs are known to be loyal to us humans.

E．Her short videos have drawn tens of thousands of followers online.

F．So all those who live with total blindness should be allowed to have a guide dog.

G．This will bring great benefits to their health, employment, education and family life.

23、In many countries, people work five eight-hour days or 40 hours a week. But some companies now want their employees to work just four days a week and still pay them for five. Is it too good to be true?

Planio, a German company, offered a four-day week to its employees earlier this year Schulz-Hofen, the founder of Planio, first tested the four-day workweek on himself. He said，“It is much healthier and we do a better job if we’re not working crazy hours. I didn't get less work done in four days than in five because in five days, you think you have more time, you take longer. ” Also, another company, called Guardian in New Zealand, tested how its employees reacted to a 32-hour workweek earlier this year. It said the workers reported feeling less pressured and more focused on the business.

In Japan, the government is urging companies to let their workers have Monday mornings off. And in the UK, Trades Union Congress (TUC) is pushing for the country to move to a four-day week by the end of the century, thinking that a shorter workweek is a way for workers to share in the wealth made by new technologies like machine learning and robotics. TUC’s Kate Bell noted，“It would reduce the stress of juggling working and family life. ’’

A study of 3, 000 employees found that nearly half thought they could easily finish their work in five hours a day if they did not have to stop and restart. The workers were from eight countries, including the United States，Britain and Germany. Dan Schawbel, working in Future Workplace, which carried out the survey with Kronossaid，“Because you always have the technology, you are always working, so you are getting burned out. He expects more companies and countries will permit a four-day workweek.

24、   My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.

Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.

This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.

Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.

Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.

“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.

【1】What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?

A.excited B.overwhelmed C.addicted D.drunk

【2】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying

B.some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim

C.There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol

D.female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol

【3】Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?

A.With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.

B.Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.

C.Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.

D.Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.
