21、Whenever she was having a tough day, Selena Berry would look at the sky and imagine herself, flying high in the clouds above her troubled neighbourhood and challenging school life. "Flying makes you feel big, "Betty said. "You’re on top of everything. You look down and all you see is the view, the beauty. "

This summer, Berry and seven other African-American students in the Chicago area participated in a program to learn how to fly. The program is new and challenging for participants. In the end, successful students will graduate with a private pilot’s license.

The unique program is called Tuskegee Next. "It is a special effort to increase the number of African-Americans who can work as pilots. "said Stephen L. Davis, who owns a big company Wheaton , lllinois and founded the organization. The main mission of the group is to help students follow in the footsteps of the country’s first black military pilot Tuskegee. It costs about $25, 000 to take the lessons and pay for the flying time. But it is free for these students. Davis donates his own money and raises funds to cover the costs.

For much of his early life, Davis wanted to become a pilot. But growing up, he could not afford the expensive schooling. By the time he could afford lessons, he had a wife and children and did not want to take the risk. For the students, the benefits of learning to tly are greater than being pilots. "When you don’t see black pilots, you don’t think you can do it, he said. "Even if these kids don’t become pilots, learning to fly will give them confidence to do other great things. "

Tuskegee Next targets African-American teenagers from rough communities who might never have such a chance. The experience will change their lives and let them see a happy future. Some of the students in the program will receive a small stipend, which makes up for the summer jobs they would have otherwise.

All eight of the students have passed the written exam. Now they are spending hours piloting a Cessna airplane with an instructor. Some are already flying the planes alone. On a recent sunny afternoon, 20-year-old Quiana White spent about an hour alone in a Cessna airplane practicing turns. This was her first solo flight and her classmates crowded around her after she landed. "You’re not the same person once you go up on your own, "she said. "No matter what happens, I know I’m a pilot. "

22、There are some Christmas traditions between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Letters to Santa Claus

In the United States, kids usually write letters to Santa and put them in the mailbox. However, in England we throw them directly into the fire. We don't plan to make kids cry because burning the letters can send them to the North Pole where Santa can read your Christmas wishes in the smoke. It may seem strange but it does save on postage.

Hanging stocking

Traditionally, American kids hang stockings around the fireplace for Santa to fill with presents. But in the UK. we hang stockings around the bed; being surrounded by presents is a fantastic way to wake up on Christmas morning.

Christmas pudding

Americans prefer to have pumpkin and pecan pies for the Christmas dessert; while we British are fond of Christmas pudding. which is a cake flavored with dried fruits and spices.

Dealing with Christmas tree

We British chose to take down the Christmas trees and the decorations within 12 days of Christmas, because we hold the belief that keeping then beyond that time can bring bad luck. This is probably a tradition that Americans should consider adopting. I have seen people keep their old, brown, dry and withered Christmas trees until almost July 4.

【1】How do the British people deal with "Letters to Father Christmas"?

A．Emailing them to Santa.

B．Hiding them in the mailbox.

C．Putting them in the stockings.

D．Throwing them straight into the fire.

【2】Why do the British take down the Christmas tree as early as possible?

A．To stop it from drying

B．To expect good luck.

D．To reuse it for the next year.

A．Writing letters to Santa.

B．Making pumpkin pudding.

C．Hanging stockings around the bed.

D．Keeping Christmas trees for months.

23、A diet to save humankind

When I was a child my family would always sit down together for meals. My favourite was among the simplest: pasta in tomato sauce. We ate fresh vegetables and fruit, and, starting in our teenage years, sipped a glass of red wine. We ate together. I indulged with a few slices of prosciutto and practised a wide variety of outdoor sports. This centuries-old Mediterranean diet kept me fit and trim - and turned out to be good not just for my personal well-being, but for the planet's health too.

In 2021 we will celebrate the tenth anniversary of UNESCO's designation of this Mediterranean diet as a “Cultural Heritage of Humanity”. 【1】 We have started to eat more fast food and have increased our portions. Fewer Italians enjoy social meals with family and friends. Italian children were among the most overweight in a recent study of 30 countries.

Poor nutrition is a global problem, not just an Italian one. The fact that it's hitting Italy, the land where the Mediterranean diet originated, represents a dangerous paradox — one of many afflicting the world of food. After years of decline, hunger is back on the rise. Globally, some 821m people still do not have enough to eat. Yet while the poor south starves, the rich north gorges: some 2bn people are overweight or obese. We waste one-third of global food production. 【2】

【3】 The world's population is expected to increase by 2.3bn people by 2050, fuelling demand for meat. Since the end of the second world war the global food system has focused on producing more food for more people — but then wastes huge amounts of it. A paradigm shift is needed. Production must concentrate on delivering better, more nutritious food. The UN's Sustainable Development Goals can show us the way. They aim to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”. These goals are ambitious but achievable.

Governments must provide incentives to support sustainable agriculture, slash food waste and meet nutritional challenges. This does not just mean taxing unhealthy foods. 【4】 Companies must not be short-sighted, either. They should support legislation requiring them to embrace sustainability.

We must change our diet. A food and environment pyramid which highlights the close links between food's nutritional value and environmental impact has been devised. This “double pyramid” is based on the traditional Mediterranean diet of my childhood. Everyone can and must continue to have fun at the dinner table — while eating what is good for our health and our planet.

A．Without a change in our diets, this disastrous cycle will worsen.

B．Farmers should use fertilizers more efficiently and reduce costs.

C．It is a diet lull of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, with only occasional meat.

D．Livestock consume an estimated two-thirds of all the land dedicated to agriculture and contribute about half of farming-related greenhouse-gas emissions.

E．Unfortunately, Italians have been turning away from their traditional healthy diet.

F．A more effective policy is to make healthy food, accessible and affordable for consumers and profitable for farmers.

24、During the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, misinformation has fueled the spread of fear. Some people might fail to tell facts from rumors (谣言)，so improving the public’s health knowledge is a vital step to help people take the right protective measures and avoid unnecessary panic.

As the battle against the epidemic continues, some people may feel panic to some extent because they are not aware that there are effective prevention and protection measures they can take. So it is urgent that people’s public health awareness should be raised. The education authorities should strengthen science popularization, especially among teenagers. For example.primary and middle schools should emphasize scientific education, and they could invite medical professionals to teach students about the scientific protection measures they should adopt.

Governmental departments can carry out projects to popularize health knowledge and encourage people to participate in the improvement of the public scientific literacy, including in different townships, districts and communities.

Relevant science and technology institutions also have the responsibility to innovate measures and set up systems to carry out a health-awareness campaign to make more people aware of the benefits of scientific prevention and protection measures.

Since the improvement of public scientific literacy is of great significance and concern, medic and healthcare departments should learn the lessons of this epidemic and continue to build well-established and professional teams, particularly grassroots units that are devoted to promoting the public health literacy should be formed.

Science and healthcare institutions should pool their resources to meet the public’s knowledge needs. They should establish ways to spread the public’s health knowledge, diversify the channels for spreading scientific public health knowledge, and hatch effective policies to upgrade facilities to deal with emergencies, so as to ensure that it can swiftly respond to a public health emergency and provide authoritative information on the situation and the appropriate response.

Keeping the public informed of scientific public health knowledge in a timely manner will help prevent public panic and contribute to the prevention of public health crises.

【1】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ______.

A．the battle against the COVID-19 continues

B．different persons have different awareness of protection.

C．people’s public protection awareness remains to be raised

A．Grassroots units have sprung up.

B．Adequate health knowledge can ease panic.
