Arsh believes in the imprtance f making the wrld a mre beautiful place. The talented by nt nly paints but als sells his artwrk and dnates the mney.
It all started when his parents bught him a set f painting tls fr his 8th birthday. Once he had his wn materials, he began spending much f his free time putting clr n his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began t grw in number, he decided t give them as gifts t friends and family. Receiving a psitive respnse frm peple arund him, he sn realized his pieces had the ptential t get much mre than smiles and praise.
His light-bulb mment came shrtly after: he wuld sell his artwrk and dnate the mney t charity. His first plan was t raise $1,000 fr St. Jude Children’s Research Hspital, which he accmplished in arund nine mnths by selling his paintings n scial media and at lcal art shws. Since then, he’s bradened his reach t benefit ther rganizatins, including childhd cancer nnprfit Cmpass t Care and the Make-A-Wish Fundatin. He’s raised ver $16,000 fr charities s far.
Arsh’s artwrk is ften clrful and cheery, as ne might expect frm a yungster, but it shwcases the impressive technique f a gifted artist. Sme pieces are mre abstract in nature; thers feature realistic renditins (演绎) f flwers and animals. They range in size and cmplexity, and, accrdingly, price. Small paintings might sell fr $10 while larger canvases, up t five feet, have gne fr $800.
Last year, Arsh wn The Diana Award, an hnr presented by a UK charity funded n Princess Diana’s belief that yung peple have the pwer t change their cuntry. And the yung artist has advice fr ther kids lking t make a difference. “Helping thers desn’t have t be, like, mney r anything. It can be yur time, yur skills, yur talent,” he says, “and verall, just be kind t ther peple t make their day better.”
24. What made Arsh interested in painting?
A. A birthday present frm his parents. B. His parents’ deep lve fr painting.
C. The encuragement f thers arund him. D. His fascinatin with the beauty f nature.
25. Why did Arsh decide t sell his artwrk?
A. T pay fr his painting materials. B. T get mre attentin frm thers.
C. T attract children’s interest in art. D. T help thse peple wh are in need.
26. What can we learn abut Arsh frm the text?
A. His fundraising plan is ging well.
B. He will turn his attentin t his studies.
C. All his paintings sell at high prices nw.
D. He is ging t teach ther children t paint fr free.
27. What des Arsh want t say in the last paragraph?
A. Every child has a unique talent.
B. Everyne has the ability t help thers.
C. Talent plays an imprtant rle in learning art.
D. Helping thers is the respnsibility f yung artists.

Stress ften ccurs when humans have t much wrk r are in immediate danger. We cmmunicate ur stress t thers thrugh ur behavir and physilgical changes. Thus, stress can cmmunicate infrmatin and even be useful fr survival in certain situatins. On the ther hand, the massive spread f stress frequently leads t dangerus situatins in grups, such as mass panic.
Hwever, nt nly humans, but als animals can experience and spread stress. This is the present research fcus f Dr Hanja Brand l frm the University f Knstanz.
“It has been repeatedly shwn that stress can be spread frm ne human t anther,” Brand l says. “Often, a similarly strng physilgical respnse is triggered, even thugh yu have never experienced the stress yurself.” But what is knwn abut stress amng animals? Brand l cncludes ther animals in the grup can be just as stressed as the friend wh experienced smething bad. Stress is evlutinarily deeply rted and the prcess is similar in all vertebrates (脊椎动物).
When are animals stressed? T be mentined primarily are naturally ccurring threats t which they are expsed, such as natural enemies. Human influences raise the level f stress. “Increasing changes in the habitat r nise and light pllutin als have an impact as these massively influence the envirnment f the animals.” Brand l explains. “Animals are flexible and can adapt t situatins. But at sme pint, the stress respnse—the adaptatins that therwise help animals better escape stressrs like enemies—n lnger gives them a survival advantage,” she adds.
This nt nly endangers the animals’ health, but als changes the scial structure f grups. “If we knw hw the underlying mechanisms (机制) wrk, we can better prtect animals,” says Brandl.
Fr humans, t, insights frm the animal wrld are useful, she says. “With humans, we can’t measure the functinality f grups under stress well in natural scenes.” Therefre, Brandl is nw cntinuing her studies. In the future, this will make it easier t respnd t and help with the spread f stress in grups f peple.
28. What can we learn abut stress frm paragraph 1?
A. Stress is bth gd and bad.
B. Grup living. can easily cause stress.
C. Each individual reacts differently t stressful situatins.
D. Pr cmmunicatin is ne f the biggest causes f stress.

A. Supply fd t them.
B. Make them live in grups.
C Prtect their habitat frm being destryed.
D. Prvide pprtunities fr them t practice their survival skills.

It’s easy fr cnsumers t buy fd and drinks like a bwl f ht rice and cke nline r frm neighburhd shps, but fr astrnauts such things were impssible in the past.
Members f China’s Shenzhu manned space flight last year, hwever, were able t enjy such fd, thanks t Jyung, a Chinese firm. Jyung created a mbile space kitchen fr the astrnauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a sybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen thrugh a smart app. Tang Hngb, wh was a member f the Shenzhu manned spacecraft said in the news that during his three-mnth trip, he culd eat ht fd with just half-hur effrts, a cntrast t the past when similar attempts required several hurs. “If we had time, we wuld als use equipment t eat hmemade ygurt. We culd als cntrl the equipment in the space kitchen thrugh mbile phne apps.” he said.
In the past, mst fds culdn’t be directly heated in a micrwave ven in the space. Cnductin equipment ften caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astrnaut had t spend as lng as fur hurs t heat sme vegetables in the space kitchen. T slve the prblem, Jyung has develped equipment that gives ut ht air t heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astrnauts t eat steaming-ht fish-flavured prk and Gngba chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Jyung a grup f cmpanies, including Xiami Cip and Huawei Technlgies, have cntributed their technlgies t the develpment f the space statin. A vacuum (真空) cleaner made haircuts n the spacecraft pssible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer, has helped astrnauts develp an experimental equipment thrugh which labratry technicians n the grund can see and experience what astrnauts are ding in space.
32. What d astrnauts think f Jyung’s mbile space kitchen?
A. Water-saving. B. Energy-wasting. C. Time-saving. D. Mney-wasting.
33. Hw des the authr shw the cnvenience n Shenzhu manned spacecraft?
A. By making cntrasts.B. By analyzing results.
C. By prviding pictures.D. By answering questins.
34. What des the last paragraph want t shw?
A. Jayung needs t further its technlgy.
B. What astrnauts are ding is significant.
C. Astrnauts n bard can d as they wish.
D. There are mre technlgies fr the spacecraft.
35. What is the best title f the text?
A. The Ht Diet n the Space Statin Needs t be Addressed
B. Earth t Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technlgy
C. Mdern Technlgy Brings Cnvenience t Human Beings
D. Manufacturers Make Big Prfits frm Inventing Equipment

On a cld winter day years ag, I slipped in the snw in the wilderness and brke my legs. As I lay n the grund, unable t mve my bdy, I believed I was fated t freeze t death.

There was snw inside her cne. It tk ver five minutes t get them in because Becky shk her head wildly t try t remve the cne. The sund f the cn e hitting the dr made her panic and cry even luder.
Once inside, she was s frightened that she kept her tail between her legs. She thught she had dne smething wrng.
