There’s no doubt that Dolly Parton knows how to light up a stage; however, she’s also spent a number of decades trying to bring a spark to children’s education.

Through programs such as the Buddy Program and the Imagination Library, the American singer is sharing her passion for giving kids a better chance in life across the states and further in the UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland.

Among other charity efforts, Parton was inspired to introduce the Buddy Program after seeing the alarming dropout rate in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, in 1990. That year 34% of schoolkids dropped out of high school—a decision they reached around fifth or sixth grade. The figures were so shocking that Parton decided to inspire kids with her new program. So, in the same year, she invited the fifth and sixth graders to her amusement park, Dollywood. She gathered the pupils and asked them to pair up with a friend as part of a motivating buddy system. If both children went on to graduate, she said she would offer them both a $500 check as a reward. That year the percentage of kids abandoning their education dropped to an unbelievable 6%, and continues to be around that rate today.

It was after the success of the Buddy Program that Parton wanted to address the issue of early education even further. To help give kids from disadvantaged backgrounds a better chance at school, the singer started her Imagination Library in 1995. Over the following 25 years the program has seen babies and toddlers enjoy new books every month thanks to her generosity.

And the singer shows no sign of stopping. In 2020, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University to try and help research in the fight against COVID-19.

4．What gave rise to the setting up of the Buddy Program?

A．Lack of charity activities. B．The alarming rate of social crimes.

C．Children’s poor living conditions. D．The great number of children quitting school.

5．Through the Buddy Program, what did Dolly Parton do to help?

A．She sponsored high schools. B．She offered money to dropouts.

C．She encouraged learning in pairs. D．She organized amusement activities.

6．In what way did Imagination Library contribute to education?

A．It offered a chance for children to go to school.

B．It appealed to the public to value education.

C．It helped build libraries all over the country.

D．It donated books to those less fortunate children.

7．Which of the following words can best describe Dolly Parton?

A．Inspiring and generous. B．Courageous and kind.

C．Reliable and honest. D．Smart and patient.

Beijing is a rather strange city to many western people. One of my foreign friends told me that when he came to Beijing, at first he couldn't understand why most people wear masks when spring comes to Beijing. He thought people wanted to keep their appearance a secret. Well, one of the symbols of spring coming to Beijing is that more and more people start wearing masks. The reason for it is the arrival of so called “sandstorms”.

It is said that each year sandstorms hit Beijing 4 to 5 times. The sand is brought to Beijing by wind from the western part of China. Tons of soil and dust travel hundreds of miles and blanket Beijing's streets, parked cars and apartment buildings. You would be amazed to see the ground has turned yellow overnight. The storm is so violent that you do not want to have a conversation with your friend on the road. If you open your mouth and then you close it, you may have the raw taste of sand in your mouth.

People in Beijing hate those storms. Sandstorms make the traffic jam in rush hours even more unpredictable, because the drivers have to drive slowly in order to have a clear view of the road conditions. Young students also hate sandstorms because whenever there is a sandstorm, they are not allowed to have any activities outside the classroom. It is so boring to sit in the classroom all day and the youngsters are so eager to go out and do some sports.

It is said that the closest desert is only 80 kilometers away from the city center.There is definitely much more to do for the local government to deal with the environmental problem.

8．Why do people in Beijing wear masks in the spring?

A．Because they are rather strange.

B．Because there are serious sandstorms.

C．Because their appearance are not beautiful.

D．Because they want to keep their face a secret.

9．What does the underlined word “blanket” mean ?

A．Dry. B．Cross. C．Destroy. D．Cover.

10．What do people have to do when the storm comest?

A．Drivers clean the road. B．They hold some activities.

C．Youngsters go out to do sports. D．Students stay in the classroom.

11．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．People in Sandstorms B．How to Prevent Sandstorms

C．Sandstorms in Beijing D．What to Do in a Sandstorm

If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise." Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die."

Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-compared with on a treadmill（跑步机）-produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.

The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered（触发）by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.

The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be acatalystfor fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.

So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in puddle（小水坑）.

12．How does the author introduce the topic?

A．By providing background. B．By borrowing phrases from great minds.

C．By giving definition. D．By presenting well-known examples.

13．The underlined word in paragraph 4 means something ________.

A．causing a change B．stopping progress

C．catching eyes D．interrupting creativity

14．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Nature exploration improves fitness.

B．Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.

C．Working indoors makes people less creative.

D．Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.

15．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Exercise in Nature. B．Train Your Brain.

C．Develop Your Creativity. D．Walk for Wonder.

Today is the Tree-Planting Day,and we had a meaningful experience, one I’ll never forget.

Early in the morning, some of my classmates and I bicycled to the People’s Park to plant trees, talking and laughing all the way. No sooner than did we arrive than it began to rain slightly. Though, we began to work immediately, some digging holes, some carrying and planting young trees，and others watering them. We had a wonderful teamwork!

Tired but happy, we all went home with a sense of achievement. I feel it our duty to plant trees every year and I firmly believe if everyone plants a tree each year, our planet will become much more beautiful.
