In Phoenix，Arizona，about one in five children is identified with dyslexia（阅读障碍）.That means about four students in a classroom of twenty have the problem.
Christine Alm，who has the virtue of being ready to help others，is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia.According to Alm，each diagnosis（诊断）is unique.That can make it difficult to understand a child's learning needs.Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.

For Alm，the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic.She believes that it's helpful to have open and honest discussions. "Dyslexia is nothing good or bad， "she says." So children don't need to feel shameful and embarrassed."
Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia.On March 2，the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering.Many people turned up，suggesting to Alm the "power of community".Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts.Guests will discuss the available educational options，how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more.Additionally，the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.

The Masai （马赛人） are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world.They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa，moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle，the source of their livelihood.They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life.They like drinking the cows' milk.
They don't kill their cattle for food.But if a cow is killed，the parts of its body are used to make containers，shoes，clothing，ropes，bed coverings and so on.Not all of the men have cows.The more cattle a man owns，the richer he is considered to be.A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor.Rich men have a thousand or more，The cattle，though owned by the man，are considered to belong to the man's entire family.The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors（勇士），protecting their cattle against other wild animals.They wear their red long hair.Most women often take care of their children ，cook food，clean clothes and make clothing at home.They also make necklaces，dresses and headdresses.A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough.They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass，which are held together with a mixture of mud，are not very firm or safe.These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village.They are not meant to last long since the migration （迁徙） of the cow population means that the Masai move as well.In the meantime，in order to prevent animals from entering，they also form a wall of branches.The whole setup is to protect the cattle，which sleep at night in the middle of the village.They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilization.

Objects in the night sky are disappearing from view because of light pollution，according to a new study.Outdoor lighting from street lamps，office buildings and vehicle headlights leads to sky less bright，which is when the night sky gets brighter.The brighter it is at night，the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.
Christopher Kyba，an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences，led his team studying 50，000 star observations between 2011 and 2022. "If the brightening of the night sky continues at the current rate，" Kyba said， "a child born in a place where 250 stars are visible will only be able to see 100 stars by the time he or she turned 18."
The issue is global but particularly common in North America，where 80% of people cannot see the Milky Way galaxy（银河系）.This huge group of billions of stars should look like a wide strip of light in the dark night sky.However，only very remote places，such as the Sahara Desert and the Amazon rainforest，have a truly dark night sky.
Light pollution makes it harder for astronomers to study stars and planets.It also causes problems for animals.Animals active at night like bats become confused and crash into objects.Turtles that hatch（孵化） at night need moonlight to find the sea，but artificial lights can confuse them and make them head inland instead.Birds in cities often wake up and start singing earlier than they should.Human lights also cause themselves to produce less of a chemical called melatonin （褪黑激素）.This can lead to sleep problems，headaches，tiredness，and mood issues.
To help，scientists want to raise awareness of light pollution.They suggest that people use outdoor lighting that causes less light pollution，such as motion-sensitive lights that switch on only when they're needed.
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text？ ______
A. By asking a question. B. By referring to a study.
C. By making comparisons. D. By showing experiments.
13. What can be inferred from Kyba's words？ ______
A. Light pollution is becoming serious.
B. Stars are becoming fewer year by year.
C. Kids are losing interest in watching stars.
D. It's easier for adults to see stars than kids.
14. What effect may light pollution cause？ ______
A. Humans produce more melatonin.
B. Turtles are forced to hatch at sea.
C. Birds in cities wake up much later.
D. Bats can get lost during the flight.
15. What is the main idea of the text？ ______
A. Pollution does affect children.
B. Light causes human sleep problems.
C. Light pollution is making stars disappear.
D. There are some ways to deal with light pollution.

The Masai （马赛人） are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world.They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa，moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle，the source of their livelihood.They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life.They like drinking the cows' milk.
They don't kill their cattle for food.But if a cow is killed，the parts of its body are used to make containers，shoes，clothing，ropes，bed coverings and so on.Not all of the men have cows.The more cattle a man owns，the richer he is considered to be.A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor.Rich men have a thousand or more，The cattle，though owned by the man，are considered to belong to the man's entire family.The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors（勇士），protecting their cattle against other wild animals.They wear their red long hair.Most women often take care of their children ，cook food，clean clothes and make clothing at home.They also make necklaces，dresses and headdresses.A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough.They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass，which are held together with a mixture of mud，are not very firm or safe.These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village.They are not meant to last long since the migration （迁徙） of the cow population means that the Masai move as well.In the meantime，in order to prevent animals from entering，they also form a wall of branches.The whole setup is to protect the cattle，which sleep at night in the middle of the village.They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilization.

Objects in the night sky are disappearing from view because of light pollution，according to a new study.Outdoor lighting from street lamps，office buildings and vehicle headlights leads to sky less bright，which is when the night sky gets brighter.The brighter it is at night，the harder it is to see stars and planets from Earth.
Christopher Kyba，an astronomer with the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences，led his team studying 50，000 star observations between 2011 and 2022. "If the brightening of the night sky continues at the current rate，" Kyba said， "a child born in a place where 250 stars are visible will only be able to see 100 stars by the time he or she turned 18."
The issue is global but particularly common in North America，where 80% of people cannot see the Milky Way galaxy（银河系）.This huge group of billions of stars should look like a wide strip of light in the dark night sky.However，only very remote places，such as the Sahara Desert and the Amazon rainforest，have a truly dark night sky.
Light pollution makes it harder for astronomers to study stars and planets.It also causes problems for animals.Animals active at night like bats become confused and crash into objects.Turtles that hatch（孵化） at night need moonlight to find the sea，but artificial lights can confuse them and make them head inland instead.Birds in cities often wake up and start singing earlier than they should.Human lights also cause themselves to produce less of a chemical called melatonin （褪黑激素）.This can lead to sleep problems，headaches，tiredness，and mood issues.
To help，scientists want to raise awareness of light pollution.They suggest that people use outdoor lighting that causes less light pollution，such as motion-sensitive lights that switch on only when they're needed.
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text？ ______
A. By asking a question. B. By referring to a study.
C. By making comparisons. D. By showing experiments.
13. What can be inferred from Kyba's words？ ______
A. Light pollution is becoming serious.
B. Stars are becoming fewer year by year.
C. Kids are losing interest in watching stars.
D. It's easier for adults to see stars than kids.
14. What effect may light pollution cause？ ______
A. Humans produce more melatonin.
B. Turtles are forced to hatch at sea.
C. Birds in cities wake up much later.
D. Bats can get lost during the flight.
15. What is the main idea of the text？ ______
A. Pollution does affect children.
B. Light causes human sleep problems.
C. Light pollution is making stars disappear.
D. There are some ways to deal with light pollution.

When coming to this city for high school，I moved into the new house with my parents.We were very grateful to the owner for renting us this house at a cheap price.The house was really comfortable to live in.It was warm inside and full of life outside.
A tree in the front yard attracted my attention，and all I could confirm was that it was a fruit tree.My father thought it was a fig（无花果） tree，and sure enough，as the months went by，the tree grew huge leaves and finally bore the fruit—figs，the size of my fist.How wonderful they were!I took many pictures of the fig tree.And then we wondered how to deal with the figs.My mother thought for a while and said，"Why not try making fig jam？"I responded quickly，"That's a good idea!"
Jack，one of our neighbors，just visited us and asked if he could pick some figs from our tree.Certainly，we encouraged him to take as many as he liked.In fact，Jack was extremely polite and friendly to us.He introduced himself at the first sight of us.He always waved to me as he came home or as he left for work.
When I picked the figs with him，he told me about how he had been living in the house next door for close to twenty years.He said，"Bruce，the owner of the house you live in now，used to be my best friend，and we had planted this very fig tree a few years before he went to the nursing home."I was amazed to know that we actually enjoyed the fruit of his work.He told me that he was so impressed by the quality of the fruit this year.I found a fruit box for him to put the figs in.Both of us enjoyed the pleasure of sharing.
When Jack set out for his home，I turned to my parents and advised doing something in return for Jack and Bruce's kindness and friendliness.
