Iowa has been tirelessly providing food, clothing, love» and medical care to hundreds of adopted kids since the 1970s.

When Herring first began adopting kids, she was also running a home daycare and working as a night custodian（监护人）in a local high school. Additionally, she volunteered as a first responder for 50 years of her life.

Out of the hundreds of adopted kids that Herring has taken under her wing, many of them experienced a range of medical conditions and special needs-but that never prevented Herring. Linda mostly adopted young children and children with special medical needs and kept boxes of clothes in her garage, piled to the ceiling, labeled by size and gender. No one had to worry about a child going without clothes at Linda’s, even if they arrived with nothing but what they were wearing.

Anthony Herring, who was just 3 years old when he was adopted into Linda’s family, described his mother like this： "It’s hard to say in words her impact. She was always available and ready for a child in need. " These kids were usually taken from a traumatic（受到创伤的） situation and she’d take them in, providing a warm bed, clean clothes» warm meals, and love. She also worked hard to keep families together.

23、   You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.

Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.

Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.

But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track paying in your head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.

Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.

“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.

Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’re singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.

You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.

【1】Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?

A.A song made up of simple words.

B.A song heard frequently these days.

C.A song sung by a most famous singer.

D.A song learned during one’s childhood.

【2】What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Type. B.Tune.

C.Cause. D.Characteristic.

【3】We can infer that earworm songs may ________.

A.result from modern technology B.be experienced over meals

C.help regain lost memories D.hurt one’s hearing

【4】What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?

A.Why we hear earworm songs. B.Where to find earworm songs.

C.When we hear earworm songs. D.How to get over earworm songs.

24、   Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the French explorer, once pointed out, “Population growth is the primary source of environmental damage.” Many experts are calling the growing problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis in that pollution from trash is not only harming the world’s oceans, air and soil but also endangering people’s health as well as the livelihood of all living creatures.

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Such a dilemma raises the question, is there a more responsible way of dealing with trash? Fortunately, there is. Living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go. One example of this is what’s often called the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reducing the use of plastic containers as well as reusing and recycling bottles and cans decreases the amount of garbage being sent to landfills. As a result, less money is spent on waste management, and countries’ financial burdens are significantly relieved. Such positive effects on an economy is known as a circular economy.

Circular economy

Traditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be used and disposed of by consumers. This linear model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. Alternatively, a circular economy was introduced. Once a product’s value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufacturers. The outcome is less waste. One large-scale example of this is happening on the island of Taiwan.

4-in-1 Recycling Program

In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-1 Recycling Program, consisting of communities, recycling companies, government cleaning teams and the Recycling Fund. Residents separate their recyclable waste. The local government collection teams collect it. Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to make profits. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an essential aspect of the program used to subsidize(补贴) the recycling disposal system, support education and research and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future.

Turning garbage into gold

By following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold.

【1】According to the passage, the biggest challenge facing the world today is________ .

A.the rapid growth of population B.the overdeveloped manufacture

C.the world’s large amount of trash D.inappropriate use of plastic products

【2】What is the aim of bringing in circular economy?

A.To save land and create wealth.

B.To minimize waste and restore used materials.

C.To support research and speed development.

D.To rid poor habits and encourage a new lifestyle.

【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.Zero-Waste, Full Recycle B.Circular Economy In Action

C.The World’s Recycling Companies D.A Worldsize Environmental Crisis

25、   A new phone app uses vibrations from smart phones to warn people about earthquakes.

The phone app _______ sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors in  smart phones. It is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would _______ people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is _______ only for Android phones.

Smart phones are _______ accelerometers (加速度感应器). These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been _______ to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time.

A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several notifications _______, it recognizes that an earthquake might be taking place or will take place soon.

Using information sent from the app, the network then _______ the  location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.

MyShake uses very _______ power, according to its developers. Only when  seismic activity is  _______ by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a ________ surface, like a table.

The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. That U.S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also ________ EEW. The EEW has deployed (部署) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas.

In places where no such equipment ________, MyShake may be the only method of  early quake ________.  The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.

“Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to________ the effects of earthquakes on us as individuals and on society as a whole,” say the researchers.
