The town of Paradise has suffered a camp fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a damage of $16.5 billion. As a result, the beautifully named place lost its beauty.
Shane Grammer, a creative director for Disney’s theme parks in Los Angeles, paid close attention to the news of the fire. He felt quite helpless when seeing the pictures shared by his childhood friend Shane Edwards in the town, in which Shane photographed his white chimney, the only part of his house left after the fire.
“I’ve got to paint that chimney,” he said to Inside Edition. “I’m not trying to say anything. And it was an opportunity for me to express and be an artist, isn’t it?”
Grammer spent three hours spray-painting the image of a woman on the chimney, which is strikingly mysterious black and white, in the ruins. Perhaps it serves as a reminder of the beauty of life or just life itself. Then Grammer put the picture on Instagram. On seeing it, the victims of the fire could not contain themselves. “Beautiful and haunting,” one of them commented. And another said, “You bring beauty and hope.”
At this time, Grammer became aware that something deeper had been transformed by a purely artistic expression. “When the first mural (壁画) moved so many people, I knew I had to come back up,” he said to KRCR-TV. Grammer returned to Paradise eight times in three months, during which he completed 17 paintings of victims and Biblical figures, pickups and parts of buildings on walls.
Today, Grammer’s efforts have developed into a movement. He has also painted murals in dark places that seriously need some light around the world.
Ironically, the first painting, on the chimney in Paradise, existed for just several months, since the bulldozer (推土机) is a merciless art critic. But Grammer couldn’t be more pleased about it, which means the spirit of Paradise is rising again.
【1】How did Grammer come up with the idea of painting the chimney?
A.From Disney’s theme parks.
B.From his friend’s description of the fire.
C.By looking at a picture of Shane Edward’s remaining chimney after the fire.
D.After learning about the news of the fire.
【2】Why did Grammer tell Inside Edition that he wasn’t trying to say anything?
A.Because he had nothing to say.
B.Because he felt it difficult to express himself.
C.Because he had his way to express himself.
D.Because he had no opportunity to express himself.
【3】What does the underlined part “something deeper” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.People’s inner feelings.
B.People’s words.
C.The meaning of the mural.
D.The background situation.
【4】What do Grammer’s murals mean to people?
A.They are mysteries.
B.They are entertaining.
C.They are artistic expressions.
D.They are inspiring.
【5】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The people in Paradise are in high spirits now.
B.Paradise is recovering from the disaster in a short time.
C.Grammer is not happy for the destruction of his mural.
D.The bulldozer was so cruel that it destroyed Grammer’s mural.

I’d done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip. As always, I’d bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots. A hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.
The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home’s dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family’s temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I’d ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came!” I didn’t know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.
Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair—her grandmother, we’d soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.
By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change. Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room—so much. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before—Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.
Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn’t until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she’d made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart. Now almost in tears, I couldn’t control myself anymore—I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither of us could let go.
I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too — a greater appreciation for all or the blessings of my life. I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never forget me either.

The Milky Way is full of habitable (宜居) places, with roughly half of all sunlike stars hosting Earth-size worlds that could be friendly to life.
Here’s a good sign for alien hunters: More than 300 million worlds with similar conditions to Earth are spread throughout the Milky Way galaxy. A new analysis concludes that roughly half of the galaxy’s sunlike stars host rocky worlds in habitable zones where liquid water could pool or flow over the planets’ surfaces.
Astronomers estimated the number of these planets using data from NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft. For nine years, Kepler stared at the stars and watched for the brief twinkles produced when orbiting planets block a portion of their star’s light. By the end of its mission in 2018, Kepler had spotted some 2,800 exoplanets (外星行星) — many of them nothing like the worlds orbiting our sun.
But Kepler’s primary goal was always to determine how common planets like Earth are. The calculation required help from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, which monitors stars across the galaxy. With Gaia’s observations in hand, scientists were finally able to determine that the Milky Way is populated by hundreds of millions of Earth-size planets orbiting sunlike stars — and that the nearest one is probably within 20 light-years of the solar system.
It took more than half a century for scientists to start pinning down how many planets could possibly host life. In 1961, astronomers knew of no worlds orbiting stars other than the sun — and although planetary formation theories suggested exoplanets should be common, we had no observational evidence that they existed. But over the past decade, it’s become clear that planets are extremely common, outnumbering stars in the Milky Way. On average, nearly every star is home to at least one orbiting world.
Early estimates suggested that perhaps 20 percent of sunlike stars hosted a world that met those criteria. We now know that the number is closer to 50 percent, if not more.
Of course, many factors determine whether a world in the habitable zone is truly friendly for life. Planetary characteristics such as magnetic fields, atmospheres, and plate tectonics all play a role, and those are difficult to observe on small, faraway worlds.
【1】When the author says, “Here’s a good sign for alien hunters”, he probably means____.
A.that’s good news for hunters
B.we will find aliens soon
C.there is a clear signal from alien
D.many sunlike stars have been found that may be habitable
【2】How did Kepler work to find exoplanets?
A.By observing the brief flicker that occurs when orbiting planets block some of the star’s light.
B.By using the data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft.
C.By calculating the stars in the galaxy.
D.Through its own calculation.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A.Kepler’s primary goal was to make sure that the Earth is a common planet.
B.Kepler helped Gaia to calculate the planets.
C.Gaia is only 20 light-years away from the solar system.
D.Kepler monitors stars across the Milky Way.
【4】What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.The importance of planetary formation theories.
B.Exoplanets are common.
C.Scientists spent more than half a century to find out how many planets host life.
D.Astronomers have known of no worlds orbiting stars other than the sun since 1961.
【5】Many factors determine whether a world in the habitable zone is truly friendly for life EXCEPT____.
A.oxygen B.atmospheres C.magnetic fields D.plate tectonics
