J. K. Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement. She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9yearold daughter Bailey. He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together. Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud，” Burke explains.”This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.” After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures. 【1】Why did Burke thank J.K.Rowling according to the text? A.She guided him how to write a good story. B.She encouraged him when he was in trouble. C.Her books helped him through times of confusion. D.Her books helped him improve his bond with his daughter. 【2】What is implied in Burke’s words in paragraph 4? A.He has found it interesting to read the series. B.He was too old to understand the series better. C.He has chosen a better way of reading the series. D.He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future. 【3】Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the text? A.Unique. B.Normal. C.Precious. D.Funny. 【4】What is the main idea of this text? A.J.K.Rowling chooses to help improve kids’ health. B.J.K.Rowling gives a magical gift to a single father. C.J.K.Rowling has a deep influence on others’ growth. D.Burke comes to know J.K.Rowling through her series. |

Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened." So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work. Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go." Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade. At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK. She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing — that’s what is carrying me through." 【1】Laura noticed her father’s dementia when . A.her father told her his condition in person B.people nearby informed her of his father’s condition C.her father forgot his own birthday party D.her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party 【2】The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means . A.excited B.struggled C.shocked D.delighted 【3】Laura started the open talk in the hope of . A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openly B.earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s disease C.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s disease D.raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK 【4】Which words can best describe Laura? A.Caring and positive. B.Careful and honest. C.Patient and cautious. D.Devoted and modest. |

For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法)that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer. The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的)cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) - a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people. The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells. The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses. “This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release. Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植)was the only option for many leukemia patients. In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells. But with a recovery rate of around 83 % - according to a news release published by the FDA - it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers. “We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新)with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.” 【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To compare different ways of curing leukemia. B. To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment. C. To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies. D. To show scientists’ efforts in search of a cure for cancer. 【2】How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work? A. By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells. B. By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones. C. By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant. D. By using chemotherapy to improve the patient’s immune system. 【3】What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers? A. It can save them many more trips to the hospital. B. It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer. C. It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery. D. It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant. 【4】What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Casual. |

He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos. His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.

"Don’t be late for supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!" "OK! " my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.
