In 2010, cattle farmer Nano Corona was faced with an unexpected battle for his life. At 49, Corona had hardly ever been sick and was a crazy cyclist, but was having trouble swallowing. Trips to the doctor in August brought a shocking judgement: esophageal cancer (食管癌). “I started chemotherapy (化疗) that September,” said Corona. “A year later, I had surgery and did another six months of chemotherapy.” He is now getting better after the tough battle. The experience left Corona with a desire to give back to those in the same situation locally, in his small community of Okeechobee, Florida. “l have a great family and surgeon—it made me want to do something when I got out to help,” he said. Corona originally hoped to raise money by starting a cycling event called Ride for the Fight in the city of 6000 nestled on the northern banks of one of the country’s largest lakes. But, when you’re a farmer, why ride bikes when you can ride bulls? The fundraiser evolved into a rodeo (马术竞技); when you ride for the fight, it’s a battle to stay upright. Over the last six years, Corona has raised over 175 thousand dollars to help those with cancer do everything that you need to get done outside of getting treatment, and that’s a lot. “We can’t help you with treatment, but we do just about everything else,” said Corona. “We help with rides to and from treatment, grocery bills, electric bills, rent and house payments—the odd things that no other groups will cover.” The organization has also covered travel expenses for those wanting to reunite with family members or take a vacation after treatment. 【1】What did Nano Corona experience before 2010? A.He usually got sick. B.He was diagnosed with cancer. C.He had trouble swallowing. D.He experienced an unexpected battle. 【2】How did Nano Corona originally hope to raise money? A.By biking. B.By riding horses. C.By asking for donation. D.By riding bulls. 【3】What does Ride for the Fight do for those with cancer? A.It offers them treatment. B.It travels with them. C.It helps with some fees. D.It accompanies them to hospitals. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.How to Fight off Cancer B.How to Help Those with Cancer C.Nano Corona’s Battle with Cancer D.Community Health Hero: Nano Corona |

The hottest product at this year’s CES（国际消费电子展）technology conference may just be privacy. Several of the biggest tech companies are putting a special attention to user privacy, following years of mounting scrutiny（监察）from regulators and consumers over the industry’s handling of personal data. Google announced that it has added two new voice commands for people to better control their privacy when using its voice assistant. For example, users can tell Google Assistant to forget what it just heard if it was activated accidentally by using the new command: “Hey Google, that wasn’t for you. ” Users can also ask “Hey Google, are you saving my audio data?” to learn more about their privacy options and change their settings. The company also gives users the option to delete data using their voice by saying: “Hey Google, delete everything I said to you this week.” Facebook announced a new version of its “Privacy Checkup” tool with the goal of walking users through their key privacy settings. Facebook says the updated tool will help users control who can see what they share, how their information is used and how they can boost their account security. Previously, the tool was focused on showing users who could see their posts, their profile information and connected apps. Ring, the home security and video doorbell company owned by Amazon, announced an update to its app that allows users to choose out of requests from local police for video. It comes in the wake of criticism of its partnerships with law enforcement. Victoria Petrock, principal analyst at research firm eMarketer,said that privacy would likely be a“hot topic”at this year’s CES as consumers only become“more aware and concerned”about the problem.“Tech companies are trying to‘prove they are taking privacy seriously’,” Petrock said. Call it a defensive move. “If they don’t, they risk more heavy-handed regulation at some point, so they would rather be part of the way than part of the problem,” she said. 【1】How does Google help users protect their privacy? A.By deleting all the data. B.By providing new voice commands. C.By using the command. D.By storing their information. 【2】What’s the purpose of Facebook’s “Privacy Checkup” tool? A.To show users connected apps. B.To allow users to choose out of requests. C.To go through their key privacy settings. D.To store or delete their information. 【3】Why is privacy more likely to be a “hot topic” from Petrock? A.Because of growing users. B.Because of the need to protect. C.Because of the development of technology. D.Because of users’growing concern about it. 【4】What can be inferred if tech companies ignore users’ privacy? A.They may lose users. B.They may be fined seriously. C.They may solve more problems. D.They may face serious regulation. |

Drinking tea at least three times a week could reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease(心管疾病) and is linked with a longer and healthier life, at least in China, a new study suggests. Chinese researchers found the health benefits associated with tea were more obvious for drinkers of green, rather than black tea, and for those who had been drinking tea regularly over a longer period of time. The benefits were also clearer among men, the study indicated. Researchers looked at data from 100 902 Chinese people with no history of heart attack or cancer and divided them into two groups: habitual drinkers who drank tea three or more times a week,those who never drank tea, and those who drank it less regularly. They followed up with them after a seven-year period. Their analysis found that regular tea drinkers had a 20%lower risk of having heart disease and stroke,and a 22%lower risk of dying from heart disease and stroke. Specifically, they found that regular tea drinkers could expect to live 1.26 years longer at age 50 than those who did not regularly enjoy a cup of tea. “We found that the protective effects of habitual tea consumption were very obvious and robust across different outcomes for men, but only mild for women,”Dr.Dongfeng Gu from China’s National Center for Cardiovascular Disease. “One reason might be that the proportion of habitual tea consumers among men was approximately two and a half times as high as that among women,” Gu said. Some 48%of the men in the study were regular tea drinkers, compared with 20%of women. 【1】What can be learned about the research from Paragraph 1? A.Drinking tea regularly benefits people’s health. B.Drinking black tea brings more health benefits. C.Men always live longer than women by drinking tea. D.People can prevent all diseases by drinking tea. 【2】What does the underlined word “robust” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Protective. B.Strong. C.Gentle. D.Beneficial 【3】What can we know from the last paragraph? A.Fewer men like drinking tea. B.Men spend more money on tea. C.Men drink more tea than women. D.Fewer women may live no more than 50. 【4】Where is this text most likely from? A.An advertisement. B.A poster. C.A guidebook. D.A magazine. |

The Right Ways to Travel If you’ve never thought about your carbon footprint while traveling, it’s time to start. Adopting even one of these eco-friendly suggestions can make a big difference for our planet and future generations. Pack to avoid single-use items 【1】. Instead of cracking open a new plastic tube of shampoo, soap, and conditioner each night, buy reusable containers and filling them from your own home before travel. Shop smart When shopping, you may not realize that some of the products that catch your eyes are made from protected animals or plants and may be illegal to export or import. 【2】, such as, “What is this product made of?” and “Does the country I’m visiting allow the sale and export of this product?” Offset carbon emissions(抵消碳排放) Did you know you can offset your travel emissions by helping to fund projects that reduce greenhouse-gas pollution, such as planting trees, building windmills, or using solar panels? 【3】. Many travel companies are now offsetting emissions for you, or at least giving you an opt-in(选择加入) when paying. Try ecotourism Defined as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, protects the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education”, ecotourism avoids traditional mass tourism in favor of more responsible travel styles. 【4】, and in Norway you can sightsee the way nature intended, by river rafting or dog sledding. Interact with animals responsibly It may seem exciting to pet a tiger in Thailand, or ride an elephant in India, but these experiences are typically cruel and dangerous to the animals. Instead, there is no need to touch animals. 【5】 A.Try to pack in a simple way B.You can learn a lot from your travel C.You don’t have to do the labor yourself D.Observing them faraway is the best way to interact with wildlife E.Hotel-room wash supplies are a big contributor to the waste stream F.To make an informed choice, ask questions before making a purchase G.For example, in Costa Rica you can sleep at an eco-cottage in the rainforest |
