26、When a stranger gave Danille and her husband Nathan a box of onions which they later found they didn’t need, she decided to pass the kindness on.

Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to “take what you need, share what you can”. Now, one year on, their stand, called the “Waverley Co-op”, provides thousands of locals with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. “Residents and charities donate some produce, and we top this up with $100 of fresh fruit and other foods,” says Danielle, who explains that others began adding to the stand with their own donations.

“A common story we hear is that the items people take from the stand enable them to save a few extra dollars so they can afford to buy meat that week.” For a new mum Stacey, it’d been the lifeline she needed to keep food on the table for her family.

Last year, the 33-year-old’s one-year-old son Kaidan ran into a hot fire screen, badly burning his hands and forehead. Then, her husband lost his job. With Kaidan needing urgent medical care in Hobart 200km away, the mother spent four weeks at her son’s bedside before returning home, which led to piles of overdue bills at home. “Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn’t have had food or nappies,” says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth.

“It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community,” says Danielle, who couldn’t be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. “The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection—that’s been the biggest success!”

【1】How did Danielle deal with the onions?

A．She let others take them away.

B．She donated them to a stand.

C．She fed her family on them.

D．She exchanged them for fresh fruit.

【2】What can we learn about Stacey?

A．She could merely pay the bills.

B．She stayed for a year in Hobart.

C．She was jobless after her son’s accident.

D．She heard about the stand from others.

【3】What does the Waverley Co-op finally bring in Danielle’s opinion?

A．Abundant food sources.

B．Strengthened bonds among people.

C．Moving stories of strangers.

D．Increased communication with locals.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．A New Mother Saved Her Son

B．Danielle Brought Happiness to People

C．A Small Stand Made All the Difference

D．The Waverley Co-op Gave People Wealth

27、Experts recently suggested that teens should start adopting early bedtimes. Before you dismiss it as a habit suited only for young kids, consider that there are serious advantages in being well-rested. And now, even more research suggests that putting phones away before going to sleep is important to teens’ well-being.

A new study from Seton Hall University School of Health and Medicine Science found that 62 percent of kids used their smart phones before bed, and it’s causing less sleep and poor performance in school.

Those teens who text(发短信) before bedtime tend to go to sleep later, and get up later in the morning. Such behavior can be associated with mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Besides, once teens do receive a text, experts found, they tend to respond right away. Then the text conversation continues — resulting in an even later bedtime.

The study’s co-author Dr. Peter Polos says this leads to excessive stimulation(过度刺激) at night. Light from electronic devices can block the secretion(分泌) of melatonin — a hormone(荷尔蒙) that promotes sleep, which makes sleep difficult in the face of overuse of smart phones at night. It’s true! More screen time means less sleep time; other studies have suggested the same idea.

As for a final piece of advice, Dr. Sushanth Bhat says, since getting the proper amount of sleep is very important for brain development and learning in the teenage years, our study should encourage parents and guardians (监护人) to limit adolescent smart phone usage at night. Keep in mind that teens aren’t the only ones addicted to their phones! Adults can also benefit from setting a tech curfew(宵禁) for themselves. After all, kids learn by example!

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. How to promote sleep.

B. How kids learn from their parents.

C. The advantages of going to bed early.

D. The disadvantages of phone usage before bed.

【2】Who are likely to go to sleep later according to the text?

A. Kids having text conversations before bed.

B. Kids putting their phones away at night.

C. Kids studying their lessons hard at school.

D. Kids exercising with friends after school.

【3】Melatonin can ________.

A. make sleep difficult B. lead to later bedtimes

C. help people fall asleep D. wake people from a sleep

【4】The author advises parents to ________.

A. learn from their kids

B. get rid of smart phones

C. set a good example to their kids

D. try to benefit from hi-tech development

28、   Over 30 years of camping vacations, Russ Fee had never experienced or heard of a wolf attack. That changed last August while he was camping with his wife and two sons at Banff National Park. At around midnight, Fee woke to the sound of panicked voices calling for help. He knew there was another family with two sons, aged five and seven, at the next campsite, and went to investigate.

As Fee approached, he caught sight of an animal's rear legs protruding from a collapsing tent ----legs too large to belong to a dog. Fee ran up and kicked the animal. Startled, it backed out of the tent. Suddenly, Fee was standing face-to-face with a wolf. “That was a terrifying moment,” he recalls. Matt Rispoli, the neighbouring dad, jumped out of the collapsed tent covered in blood. Moments earlier, the wolf had bitten through the tent, puncturing his arm and tearing the material. Both men shouted and threw rocks at the wolf to scare it away.

The wolf backed off long enough for the Rispolis to pile into the Fees’ van. Since there was no cell service, Fee drove the family to a nearby hotel, where staff called 911. Rispoli, who only needed stitches, was grateful for Fee coming to his family’s rescue. The Park Personnel euthanized（使安乐死）the wolf later that night ---- the rare attack was likely because the wolf was near starvation.

The Fees still kept in touch with the Rispolis over Facebook and even exchanged Christmas gifts last year. “It easily could have been my family who got attacked,” says Fee. “We were all fortunate in the end.”

【1】What did Russ Fee experience last August at Baff National Park?

A.He experienced a wolf attack while camping there.

B.He camped there with his family and some friends.

C.He woke up the family camping at the next campsite.

D.He made investigations to the park after hearing the sound.

A.The Rispolis were throwing rocks at the wolf

B.The Rispolis were biting and tearing the tent

C.Matt was standing in front of the wolf

D.Matt got injured and was bleeding

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The workers at the park drove the Rispolis to a nearby hotel.

B.Fee was very brave and felt excited when facing the wolf.

C.The Fees thought they were unlucky to meet the Rispolis.

D.A wolf attack seldom happens at Baff National Park.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.A terrible wolf attack at Baff National Park.

B.An unexpected reunion with the Rispolis.

C.An unforgettable camping experience.

D.A starving wolf at Baff National Park.

29、For teenagers, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes – it is also about developing good ones.

Several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on a teenager. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong link.

In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.

Teenagers who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. That was a finding of a study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University in New York. The 2012 CASA report found that “family dinners were strongly linked to teen substance use prevention.” In the report, titled “The Importance of Family Dinners,” researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives.” They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Another study from the University of Montreal found that teenagers who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These teens were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills and self-reported that they were less aggressive.

Linda Pagani, a professor involved in this study says that there is “a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and adolescent health.” Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction, discussions of social issues and day-to-day concerns.” She adds that they may likely help the child have better communications skills with others.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Teenagers' desire for family dinners.

B．The vital importance of family time.

C．Benefits of family dinners on teenagers.

D．Studies about teenagers' physical condition.

【2】What does the underlined word "substance" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Time and study.

B．Drugs and alcohol.

C．Diet and disease.

D．Conflict and violence.

【3】Linda Pagnai believes that teenagers eating family meals a lot are probably more ________.

A．sociable

B．intelligent

C．ambitious

D．conservative

One day Kavya and I were playing with the racketball and the ball went into Takku's house. Though we were scared, we went to his house and asked him if he could give us our ball.

He said, “No.” We felt helpless. Suddenly, I had an idea. There was a water tank behind Takku's house. I looked at it and said to Kavya, “ Kavya, look at this. We can climb the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn't climb. “ It doesn't matter. We can see tomorrow. Don't forget to wear trousers.” said Kavya. I said bye to her and went back home.

The next day I went to Kavya's house early. We were both wearing trousers. “Best of luck,” said Kavya's brother Vijay. He knew everything. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” We went to the water tank. “Who will climb first?” asked Kavya. “You” I said. She agreed. She climbed down into Takku's house. I followed her and then we were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. lt was Vijay. “ Mother is calling you,” he whispered. We hurried and took out the lost ball. But along with the ball was a gold bar(金条)! We quickly took both the ball and the gold bar and climbed up the water tank again.

When we reached Kavya's house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn't believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars and it was exactly like the one we had found. We all knew it because there was a look of surprise on everyone's face. We quickly told the story to Kavya's mother.
