27、Gina Camelli didn't set out to be a hero. In fact, she didn't even mean to be recognized for her efforts. Instead, Camelli's task was simple: to give back to the community where she was raised. And that's just what she did.

Warren, Ohio, lies just thirteen miles north of Youngstown, the former center of steel production, and now one of the poorest cities in the country. Thirty years ago, Camelli was a student at Warren High School where she now teaches Advanced Placement Psychology. As the economy took a fall, Camelli started to notice that not enough students had access to basic necessities, such as food, clothing and personal daily products. This economic uncertainty can have a lasting influence on students — affecting everything from the way they learn, to their ability to deal with social and emotional issues. Knowing this, Camelli decided to organize Paw Pantry.

Whether it's for food, clothes, school supplies or personal daily products, students and their parents can register for the district's website and fill out a request form for Paw Pantry products. From there, they can choose to pick their goods up and have them delivered to their schools or homes. Over a year has passed since the Paw Pantry began. Camelli has collected a lot of food, clothing, lunch boxes, backpacks, school supplies - even home goods including a refrigerator, a washer and a stove, which she received from Hardee's, the fast-food chain. Still, Camelli tries to satisfy more than just her students' needs; students also respect Camelli for her emotional support.

For Camelli, this dedication just comes with the job. "Teaching isn't just something you do in the classroom, " Camelli explains. "I think of my kids as my responsibility, and I would give the shirt off my back for my students," she says. Camelli is a community activist, a mental health advocate', and by many people's standards, she's most certainly a hero, but she doesn't see herself that way. She just thinks of herself as a teacher.

【1】Why did Gina Camelli organize Paw Pantry?

A．To deal with increasing food quality issues.

B．To help students survive the economic problem.

C．To provide practical guidance on students' learning.

D．To satisfy the students' basic and emotional needs.

【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Camelli's purpose was to be a hero.

B．Camelli both studied and worked in Warren.

C．Both teachers and students can get goods from Paw Pantry.

D．Hardee's even donated home goods including food, clothing and school supplies.

【3】How do the poor students and their parents get their necessities?

A．By writing to Gina Camelli.

B．By telephoning Gina Camelli.

C．By visiting the district's website.

D．By paying a visit to Gina Camelli.

【4】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A．Gina Camelli will teach her students in a new way.

B．Gina Camelli is willing to try her best to help her students.

C．Gina Camelli supplies her students with clothes to keep warm.

D．Gina Camelli hopes to change her students' lives through education.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Getting up early has been seen as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic (精力充沛的) the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.

In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn. If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early, the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family. Children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and the husband will never forget to change his dirty shirt. Everything is in order. However, if we get up late, we’ll probably have to do everything in a hurry.

Getting up early is such a good habit that we should try our best to keep it. If we stick to (坚持) getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.
