26、   Waitrose has stopped giving out plastic toys along with its in-store magazines following a 10-year-old girl’s campaign.

Skey, from Gwynedd, Wales, launched the campaign against plastic toys being included in children’s magazines after becoming concerned that they would all end up in landfills. She told the BBC that the toys were “cheap plastic rubbish”, which had a very short lifespan and cannot easily be recycled. In a letter to a children’s magazine publisher she said that people would not buy the toys if they saw them separately in a shop.

Waitrose said many children’s magazines contained free plastic toys—even though many of the youngsters they are aimed at care about the planet and pollution. Over the next eight weeks, it will be removing magazines containing the free toys from its shelves, and is urging publishers to replace “pointless plastic” with sustainable alternatives. The company said the move was inspired by the 10-year-old.

“While we know these magazines are popular with children, some of the plastic attached to them has become more than necessary,” Marija Rompani, partner and director of sustainability at Waitrose, said. “Many in the younger generation really care about the planet and are the ones inheriting the problem of plastic pollution. We urge publishers to find alternatives, and other retailers to follow our lead in ending the pointless plastic that comes with children’s magazines.”

The retailer has written to magazine distributors asking for alternatives to plastic toys and warning that they will not sell copies which contain such toys.

It is the latest move by the supermarket to cut down on single-use plastic, which has also seen it end the sale of Christmas biscuits with plastic toys, and has a plan to make all its own-label packaging recycled or reusable by 2023.

【1】Why did Skey start the campaign?

A．The toys are not worth the money.

B．The toys will distract children from the magazines.

C．The toys are not environmentally friendly.

D．The toys are available in most shops.

【2】What can we know about Waitrose from the passage?

A．It will stop selling plastic toys in eight weeks.

B．It is trying to reduce the use of single-use plastics.

C．It always plays a leading role in environmental protection.

D．It has made all its own-label packaging recycled up to now.

【3】What is Waitrose’s attitude towards the campaign according to Marija Rompani?

A．Disapproving.

B．Neutral.

C．Unconcerned.

D．Supportive.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．A damage caused by plastic.

B．A girl fighting against plastic toys.

C．The conflict between retailers and publishers.

D．The concern about plastic toys in kids’ magazines in Waitrose.

28、   It’s difficult to know the exact answer to whether babies dream and what they dream about. However, sleep experts have shown that newborns dream the most in the first two weeks after birth. Babies spend most of their sleeping time in REM(rapid eye movement) stage. As dreaming takes place in a light state of sleep, newborns tend to wake up due to noises, movements and other factors. When dreaming, newborns make a few noises and their eyes move. They may move around the sides or up and down. They may laugh, scream, or cry during the REM sleep. Also, their facial muscles, hands, and legs move, due to which they may wake up. So wrapping a  baby  in  swaddling(裹紧的) clothes can keep the baby’s body from moving and help them sleep better. As babies grow, their body movement decreases when dreaming.

Studies say that the brain activity associated with dreaming is essential for the babies’ mental development. During the REM stage, the flow of blood to the brain increases. As a result, certain nerve proteins are produced, which are the building units of the brain. Babies get stimulation from what they see, hear, or feel. The brain processes the information acquired while awake, and stores what is essential to the individual. A study concludes that babies learned while they were dreaming.

What’s the time for babies to start dreaming? Researchers say that before birth, babies start experiencing REM sleep around week 25, and so they may start dreaming at the point. On the contrary, some psychologists believe that children start having dreams when they are about 5 years old. At that age, they start becoming aware of themselves and begin to understand the things around them, which is what dreams are actually made of.

【1】What may babies do in the REM stage?

A.make faces B.stay awake

C.burst into laughter D.make eye contact with others

【2】What’s the second paragraph mainly about?

A.benefits of baby-dreaming B.reasons for baby-dreaming

C.when babies start dreaming D.how babies dream while sleeping

【3】Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word “stimulation”?

A.messages B.possibilities

C.conclusions D.descriptions

29、Most recently, Zhang Chaofan has been honored as a national ethical role model at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Over the past six years, Zhang has donated 1.35 million yuan and raised 5.2 million yuan from the public to help more than 400 people with health problems—including teachers with severe cancer, disabled children and autistic (自闭症的) children in poor families—learn traditional Chinese culture.

She has also made more than 700 public welfare speeches at universities and in poor mountain areas, teaching people how to gain self-esteem, confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement.

The young girl was born without a left forearm in Changchun, Jilin Province, but her constant drive to become stronger has inspired many people.

In 2015, Zhang rejected an offer of postgraduate study from a famous university and set up a calligraphy and painting school in Changchun. When she found that some parents were unable to afford their children’s education fees, she made the lessons free and began providing 300,000 yuan annually to help them through her foundation.

“I think it’s important for teenagers to receive quality education because they are the future of the country,” she said. “I will make great efforts to help them get equal opportunities to pursue their dreams and inspire them to do their best.”

In early 2020, her school stopped all courses because of the pandemic, but she didn’t stop her public welfare activities. She raised materials and donations worth more than 8 million yuan. Then she sent masks, protective suits, and daily necessities to medical workers.

“Women in the new era should have the courage to create value and also have a sense of social responsibility,” she said. “It is my great honor to be elected as a role model. This will become a driving force for me to forge ahead and pass on the seeds of public welfare through even greater efforts.”
