Amelia Lisowe is 12 years old. She has a lot going on, but she still finds time to brighten the world of foster children. In 2018, she founded her nonprofit organization Lisowe’s Lights. It provides night lights to children in the foster care system. Foster care is when children are placed in another home. This happens when their families cannot take care of them or it is too dangerous. “Sometimes foster kids have to leave in the middle of the night because of neglect, abuse or drugs,” said Amelia.“Having that night lights makes it more comfortable in a new house where they may not know anybody.”

When she was just 8 years old, Amelia searched for places to volunteer. But she kept being turned away. Adults said she was too young.“I felt kind of defeated, because I love to volunteer,“ she said. One day her mother mentioned that foster children occasionally have to leave their homes overnight. Amelia began thinking of her own fear of the dark.“I couldn’t imagine being in a new home and being in that darkness.” Amelia said. She told a school counselor about her idea of collecting night lights for foster children. Her school hosted a drive collecting $1 donations. Lisowe’s Lights grew from there.

Amelia has made a big difference worldwide. Her lights have gone as far as England, Poland, Ukraine, France and New Zealand. In February 2023,Lisowe’s Lights launched(启动)an Ambassadors of Light program. The program encourages young people to get involved with the foster care system.

Rachel Hubbard, a former foster parent, called the night lights a wonderful blessing. “They are a big help to kids who are sleeping in a new place,” she said. A foster care group said the night lights are the first thing the kids always pull out of their bags. “They can just see the smiles on their faces.“Amelia said

“It’s surreal how much Lisowe’s Lights has grown,” said Amelia’s mother. The group has sent more than 15,000 lights to children. She is very proud of her daughter. “People don’t think about being afraid of the dark when they stay somewhere new, Lauren Lisowe said. Amelia had an idea and followed through with it. To be able to make such an impact ”has been a really neat experience”.

4．What’s the purpose of Lisowe Lights?

A．To prevent hurts in children’s families.

B．To provide comfort for the foster children

C．To help the foster care take care of children.

D．To collect donations for the foster care system.

5．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The reason why Amelia was refused.

B．The influence Amelia’s mother had on her.

C．The disappointing volunteer experience Amelia had.

D．The inspiration Amelia got to set up Lisowe’s Lights.

6．What does the underlined word “surreal” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Reasonable. B．Normal. C．Amazing. D．Realistic.

7．What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．Lighting Nights for Children

B．Brightening Life for Foster Children

C．Calling on More People to Volunteer

D．Providing Necessities for Foster Children

The Amazon rainforest contains about 2.8 million square miles of jungle. That’s 7.2 million square kilometers. Humans are transforming the Amazon. In fact, it has now become another climate change contributor. Normally, forests absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide(CO2) gas. By absorbing CO2 forests keep it out of the atmosphere. This is important, because CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning that it traps heat in the atmosphere.

In the past 30 years, humans have contributed to greenhouse gas pollution. This pollution comes from burning fuels such as coal and oil. Finally, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere lead to warmer global temperatures over time which contributes to climate change. Now, scientists in Brazil found that the Amazon is releasing(释放)more CO2 than it is absorbing, which has never happened before. In July 2021, the scientists published their findings.

For their study, the scientists looked at nearly 600 CO2 measurements. They took them from four sites in the Brazilian Amazon between 2010 to 2018. Using these measurements the scientists found that most of the CO2 that the Amazon releases is from wildfires, many of which are started by people. They create fires to clear land for farming and other work. But when trees burn, they release CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere

The worst spot is the eastern Amazon. It has become hotter, drier and more likely to have fires. That’s because the eastern Amazon has seen greater amounts of deforestation. or removal of trees. The result is more greenhouse gas emissions (排放) from fires.

Luciana Gatti, a scientist at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research, said that fires in the Amazon make around three times more CO2 than the forest can absorb. She also explained that the Amazon releases much more CO2 in places with greater amounts of deforestation (毁林). Gatti’s team also found some better news. While the eastern Amazon has become a source for releasing carbon, the western Amazon has not. It is balanced This means it has healthy forests that can absorb the same amount of CO2 that fires release.

Gatti said that if we could stop fires in the Amazon, then the forest might even become a carbon sink. This is a place that absorbs more CO2 than it releases. She said that limiting deforestation and wildfires is key to turning this dangerous trend around.

8．What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from Paragraph 1?

A．It is becoming hotter and drier. B．It can trap heat by absorbing CO2.

C．It matters in regulating the climate. D．It releases more CO2 into the atmosphere.

9．What has happened in the recent decades in the Amazon?

A．Natural wildfires release most of the CO2 .

B．Humans’ activities result in climate change.

C．Humans have dealt with greenhouse gas pollution.

D．The Amazon is absorbing more CO2 than it is releasing

10．Which statement does Luciana Gatti agree with?

A．Both the eastern and the western Amazon face the challenge.

B．The western Amazon has seen greater amounts of deforestation.

C．The key to approaching the present situation is to limit the wildfires.

D．The fires in the Amazon make about twice more CO2 than it can absorb.

11．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．An alarming phenomenon. B．A disappearing forest.

C．An excellent scientist. D．A sad prediction.

Plenty of kids like to play video games. But is gaming good or bad for their brains? Scientists from the University of Vermont recently found that video games could offer some benefits to the mind. Their study found that gamers did better than non-gamers on two mental tasks.

Bader Chaarania neuroscientist (神经学家), who helped lead the new research, said that scientists have looked at kids who play video games in the past. But many of their studies did not have good sample (样本) sizes. So, Chaarani and his team worked with data, or information, from 2,217 children. All of these children participated in a much larger study. Chaarani’s team just used the information from that study.

The scientists looked at two groups of kids in the study. One group was the non gamer group while the other was the gamer group. All of the kids had their brains scanned with an fMRI scanner at age 9 or 10.The kids did two tasks while in the fMRI scanner The first task was to press a right or left arrow on a computer when they were given instructions, which tested their ability to quickly act. The second task was to remember facial expressions in pictures on the screen. The scientists recorded the time they used, which tested what’s known as working memory.

The results matched the brain scans. For the kids they looked at, areas of the brain involved in working memory, attention and problem solving were more active in gamers Areas of the brain involved in hand-eye coordination (协调) were less active in gamers than non-gamers. Chaarani said that’s likely from practice. It’s like using a muscle. Gamers’ brains seem to have become stronger in this area. So they didn’t need to work as hard to respond to the images viewed on the screen.

Fran Blumberg who studies children’s attention and problem —solving skills agreed with the result of the study but he also advised Chaarani to collect more data as the kids get older. Then he can see whether their skills — and brains — change over time.

12．How was the new research different from those in the past?

A．All the kids had their brains scanned.

B．The kids completed two mental tasks.

C．The number of the kids was much larger

D．The study was led by a famous neuroscientist.

13．Why did the scientists use an fMRI scanner in the study?

A．To test kids’ ability to quickly act.

B．To help the kids complete the two tasks.

C．To record what gamers saw and did in the two tasks.

D．To check if specific brain areas of gamers were more active.

14．Which is the result of Chaarani’s study?

A．Gamers used more time in the 2nd task

B．Gamers were not so active as non-gamers.

C．Gamers had better memory than non-gamers

D．Gamers acted as slowly as non-gamers in the 1st task

15．What is Fran Blumberg’s attitude towards the study?

A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Uninterested.

How to make a tastier chocolate?

A group of scientists in the Netherlands have been experimenting with a method to make chocolate more of a “treat” than ever.____16____ The scientists want to know why. But their study focused on how chocolate splits when you bite it.

“To improve how chocolate feels in the mouth, we gave geometry to chocolate,”

Coulais, a member of the group, said.____17____ Geometry is a branch of mathematics, dealing with shapes and their characters. Coulais and his team used a 3D printer to layer dark chocolate in various ways.____18____They printed another in super-thin zigzagged(之字形的)layers. They also printed chocolates in complicated spirals(复杂的螺旋形)The resulting pieces were fed to ten eager volunteers.

The crunchiest(松脆的)-while remaining easy to bite-was the one made into complicated spirals. It was also the top-tasting experience“More crunchiness meant that people tended to like it more," Coulais said.

____19____ They wanted to find out which chocolate was the crunchiest. The general winner remained that spiral.

However, the spiral is not necessarily the best shape possible. Coulais thought it was just the best out of the few the scientists tested.____20____

Coulais says it is too early to say whether chocolate will soon be made differently thanks to this research. He is working with a couple of organizations. They are studying how it might be applied.

A．It could also make treats even tastier.

B．Chocolate is delicious for many reasons.

C．This would then change the way it breaks.

D．The scientists printed one chocolate in a simple S-shape.

E．A machine is used to make a 3D object from digital files.

F．And there would be better ones if we would search more.

G．The scientists also used a machine to split the various chocolate shapes.

 Learning that the “Journey to Discover China” will hold a cultural promotion essay solicitation activity, I recommend Chinese paper cutting.

Chinese paper cutting, which can be seen in different parts of China, has a long history. Many people are fond of it. People in northern parts of China do well in making them. They cut paper into different shapes like birds, animals, flowers and so on. Chinese paper cutting is not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy especially for the Spring Festival.

As one of the outstanding representatives of Chinese traditional culture, Chinese Paper Cutting has received more and more attention and love.
