Jakarta, Indonesia (AP)—When a garbage collector came to Ghina Ghaliya’s house in the Indonesian capital and asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to access the Internet, it sparked (引发) an idea for a broader campaign to help students stuck at home by COVID-19. “He said it does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,” said Ghaliya, a journalist at a national newspaper. Shortly after COVID-19 hit Indonesia, Ghaliya and 11 other journalists in Jakarta organized a group to provide food and money for people in need. They stared hearing from parents who wanted their children to be able to study online but lacked a way to access the Internet. Ghaliya and the other journalists decided to shift（转移）their focus to providing mobile phones for underprivileged students, many of whom were still not allowed to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July. They announced their campaign through social media and the response was strong, with some people donating(捐赠)second-hand units and others giving cash. So far, nearly 300 phones have been distributed to Indonesian students around Jakarta as well as to remote regions like Papua, the country’s most eastern province. Khaissyah Levi, 16, is a high school student in Depok, who attends online classes in the morning. His father Deny Sayuti had been lending his mobile phone to him for his studies, but that meant Sayuti could only do his work as a motorcycle taxi driver for part of the day, missing out on peak times like the morning rush hour. Sayuti worte to Ghaliya’s group in August, and his family received a mobile phone a month later. Sayuti believes that his son can now do better with his online studies. “Now I see him more comfortable, and he can directly reach out to his friends and teacher,” Sayuti said. 【1】Why did the garbage collector ask Ghaliya for a mobile phone? A.To play online games. B.To send a text message. C.To call police for help. D.To help his son study online. 【2】Which is the closest in meaning to the word “underprivileged” in paragraph 4? A.Dependent. B.Desperate. C.Unfortunate. D.Unhealthy. 【3】What information can we get from the fifth paragraph? A.People reacted coldly to Ghaliya’s campaign. B.Papua is a less developed district in Indonesia. C.Ghaliya’s group advertised a mobile phone brand. D.Social media was not accepted by the Indonesians. 【4】What’s the importance of a mobile phone for Deny Sayuti? A.He depends on it for online learning. B.It helps him much in making a living. C.He contacts his son at school with it. D.It guides him when traveling abroad. |

If you live near a park, you’ve probably observed this unique squirrel behavior. As winter approaches, these creatures begin what looks like preparation for a wide scavenger（觅食）hunt. In great numbers, these squirrels begin to bury nuts! This kind of behavior raises a lot of questions for squirrel enthusiasts—the most pressing being how the squirrels find their nuts again. Eastern gray squirrels, in particular, bury their nuts far and wide. Scientists themselves aren’t even quite sure of everything that goes into this hiding behavior, but they have some ideas. For one, scientists have observed gray squirrels frequently burying and reburying their nuts. The scientists assumed that this behavior was to help always keep a fresh memory of the nuts! locations. However, it’s not only memory that the squirrels need to combat（战斗）in order to find their nuts! The gray squirrel community is rampant(猖獗的)with nut stealing. The squirrels can lose up to 25% of their hidden nuts to such thieves! Luckily, the squirrels have developed some clever methods to protect their nuts. Scientists have observed the squirrels creating false caches（储藏）in order to trick thieves. If the squirrels are worried about thieves, they will also start to hide their nuts in difficult-to-reach places（like under bushes or in muddy areas）. While it might be frustrating for squirrels to lose their carefully hidden nuts, it can be beneficial for other organisms. In particular, it can help the forest itself! A study done at the University of Richmond reports that squirrels fail to recover up to 74% of the nuts they bury. This misplacing of so many acorns (the seeds of oak trees), the study says, is likely responsible for oak forest regeneration. When squirrels misplace these buried acorns, they allow for these seeds to eventually grow into full oak trees! The squirrels’ habit of widespread caching is also important to the growth of the forest, as it allows the genetic（基因的）information to spread far. What seemed like a harmless scavenger hunt is actually part of an endless complex ecosystem in our forests! 【1】In what aspect do squirrels puzzle people most? A.The way they search for food. B.The places they hide in winter. C.The location of their hidden food. D.The way they recover hidden nuts 【2】What can we learn about the gray squirrels? A.They often fight with each other for food. B.They tend to feel more secure in bushy places. C.They are cautious about storing food for winter. D.They survive largely thanks to their team spirit. 【3】What’s the message conveyed in the third paragraph? A.Squirrels can starve due to lack of food. B.It can be beneficial that squirrels lose their nuts. C.It’s easy to get squirrels’ genetic information. D.Squirrels always misplace their nuts deliberately. 【4】Which can be the best title for the text? A.Why do squirrels steal nuts? B.How do squirrels survive the winter? C.The secrets behind squirrels’ burying nuts. D.The ecosystem in the forest. |

Access to green spaces has been found to have many benefits for both physical and mental health and wellbeing. As is reported recently, nearby green areas have been shown to improve children’s respiratory（呼吸的）health and greatly improve the quality of life in large cities. Researchers from the University of Illinois College conducted a study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology to examine any potential（潜在的）links between greenness and academic achievement for schools with mostly low income students. Therefore, 318 public elementary schools in Chicago were included in the study. “The goal was to see if the greenness-academic achievement relationship holds for poor, urban schools because that’s where it matters,” said Ming Kuo, the leader of the research. “That’s where educators and policymakers are desperately trying to find ways to help kids reach their potential.” High-resolution aerial imagery technology was used to quantify（量化）tree and grass cover for each School. The researchers then compared greenness to the academic performance for the schools using standardized test scores for math and reading. The researchers found that tree cover was a reliable predictor of academic performance, both for reading and math. The more trees there were, the better the standardized test scores were. Other things like the number of students in each classroom, gender ratios（性别比），and the number of bilingual（双语的）students had no influence on test scores or academic performance. The results showed that having trees outside of a school affected academic performance and that schools considered the most disadvantaged had half the number of trees as the least disadvantaged schools. While the study does not prove any cause and effect between tree cover and academic performance, it does suggest that simply planting more trees in schoolyards across disadvantaged districts may improve academic performance. “Early math skills are one of the best predictors of later success, not just in math, but in school,” said Kuo. “So what we have here is a very exciting clue that maybe simply greening—planting trees in schoolyards—could potentially have a significant effect on math achievement and school success down the line for these kids.” 【1】Why were the schools in Chicago chosen for the study? A.They were mostly located in remote areas. B.Their students had no access to green spaces. C.They had students with physical or mental problems. D.The majority of their students were from poor families. 【2】What affected the students’ reading scores most in the study? A.The area of green spaces. B.Their math skills. C.Their native language. D.The size of the class. 【3】Which of the following does Ming Kuo agree with? A.It’s urgent to reduce the number of students in a class. B.It’s unwise to connect greenness with academic success. C.Kids with better math scores enjoy greater success at school. D.Schools in Chicago should increase their green cover by half. 【4】What’s the main idea of the text? A.Many factors can affect students’ test scores. B.Trees help improve students’ school performance. C.More greenness at school benefits children’s health. D.It’s possible to predict students’ success in later life. |

Can you imagine a morning without technology? Probably you didn’t realize how many times you use technology before you go out of your home every day. 【1】 Some examples of that include, our toast bread that we probably take for breakfast, or our listening to the news before we go out. Even if people don’t think about it, technology is a very important part in our life. 【2】 Technology not only makes our life easy, but actually it also makes our work easy. One example of that is an office where everything is done by computer. Also some teachers use technology to review or even to teach. Some people think that technology some day is going to replace humans. As a matter of fact, technology permits that we could have a wide use of our natural resources. Technology is used to improve production.【3】Now exist a lot of new medicines and techniques that permit us to have a better life. For example, some days ago I watched in the news that a new machine would help paralytic(瘫痪的)people to walk again. Technology also offers a lot of ways to entertainment.【4】 This device permits the player to play against people in all parts of the world without device in his or her hands, which is just great. Some people could think that those games just make people overweight and lazy. But in a lot of those games body movement is involved, so people actually exercise while they play. Technology is just a way to make our lives easy, and it is our responsibility to use it wisely.【5】 I feel so thankful for that! A.One example of this is the game machine Xbox. B.And it is also used to improve our health. C.Some think it’s harm to our society. D.Thanks to technology we could live an easy life. E.However, technology is everywhere at every moment. F.Technology has affected us both positively and negatively. G.I really believe technology will surprise us everyday more. |
