Free Haircuts on a Red Chair Last summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window. “Hey!” she shouted.“ I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a seat.As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair,he told her about growing up in Mississippi,about moving to Minnesota,and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day. To date,Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They are all living on the margins,and she is aware of the power of her work. “It’s more than a haircut,”she says.“I want it to be a gateway,to show value and respect,but also to get to know people.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers:As a teen,she suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious,her hair thinned severely.Seeing this,her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness,it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”she says. After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream.Two years later,she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets. Steller said,“I can’t fix their problems,but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”Steller listens to people’s stories of loss,addiction,and struggle to get back on their feet. An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project,in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Steller’s salon.In exchange,they tell their stories,which Steller shares on her website.Her hope is that by reading about kind acts,others will be inspired to do their own. So far,it’s working.“You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them,”says Steller. 【1】Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because________. A.he wanted to talk with Steller about his life B.he wanted to look good for a special occasion C.he was too old to go to a hair salon by himself D.he was just waiting for a free haircut on the street 【2】In paragraph 5,the underlined words“living on the margins”can probably be replaced by________. A.living with little care and attention B.living far from downtown areas C.living with serious illnesses D.living in untidy conditions 【3】What made Steller want to set up her own salon? A.Her excellent haircut skills. B.Her mother’s encouragement. C.Her experience of a formal haircut. D.Her dream to offer people free haircuts. 【4】What’s the purpose of Steller Kindness Project? A.To make contributions to charity. B.To encourage people to spread kindness. C.To reward kind people with free makeovers. D.To collect moving stories for Steller’s website. |

The third﹣generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice",and his team underwent its first public yield（产量）monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G3﹣1S/P19, came to 1046.3 kg per mu （about 667 square meters）, based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central China's Hunan Province. "Some previous high﹣yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. This is one of the most important characteristics of the third﹣generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency. " said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute. Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third﹣generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not "ideal conditions" carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies of ordinary farmers. Nowadays, China's average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second﹣generation hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third﹣generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable（可耕种的）land. At present, Yuan's team has nine third﹣generation hybrid rice combinations under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The third﹣generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable development of China's rice production with higher quality and yield. 【1】What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about？ A.It saves a lot more water. B.It achieves a higher yield. C.It saves much more farmland. D.It has a shorter growing period. 【2】Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas？ A.The ordinary farmers master planting technology. B.The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost. C.The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are simple. D.The previous rice farming provides researchers with experience. 【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？ A.The high output of the third﹣generation hybrid rice. B.The promising future of the new hybrid rice variety. C.The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice. D.The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties. 【4】Which one could be the best title of the text？ A.The Development of China's Rice B.The Contribution of the Great Scientist C.The High Yield of the New Hybrid Rice D.The Way to Feed the World's Population |
