A
Valencia lives, fr the time being, in a mbile hme park.
He greeted me when I arrived and pured me a cup f cffee. He tld me that his dad had wrked at a brick-manufacturing plant. His mther wrked at hme. Mst f his seven brthers and sisters didn’t g t cllege.
Valencia was determined t be the first, despite his late start. He said he was an average student struggling with math and went t cmmunity cllege a year after graduating frm high schl but decided quickly it was nt fr him.
He gt int cnstructin and then the insurance industry, but he’d always liked t write and d crsswrd puzzles. “And I lved t read. A lt,” he said. And he jked with his mther that if he wn the lttery, he’d use the winnings fr cllege.
It was arund 2007. Valencia gt tired f telling himself he was ging t g back t schl. He tld his mther it was finally fr real. She said, “I hpe yu make it, Jerry.” And I tld her, “I’m ging t make it, Mm. Surely!”
The plan was t capitalize n his frmer cnstructin experience t study civil engineering—the design, building and repair f rads, bridges, etc. But he discvered ther interests.
“He was nt the yungest student,” says Grant Tvmasian, cach f the frensics debate team Valencia jined. “But he was the mst mtivated and dedicated, encuraging fellw students and inspiring them t live a mre satisfying life?”
Valencia’s sister Sindi Majrs says her brther was always bright, but he went thrugh a cuple f rugh experiences in his life.
Because Valencia has nearly always been hmeless, she bught him a mtr hme, where he lived frm 2009 t 2018.
There is smething splendidly irratinal abut Valencia’s determinatin t get a fur-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally achieves his gals.
But that desn’t influence him. He’s fund all the yuthful energy and academic pprtunity stimulating.
“Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will nt shw up n his transcripts (大学生的成绩单). But I’m giving him an A and in the mst imprtant ways, it cunts.” says Tvmasian.

B
The Glbal Fd Dnatin Plicy Atlas has issued a recent reprt in rder t recmmend ways t increase fd dnatins, reduce fd waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 fd waste reductin gals.
Fd dnatin can rerute eatable fd — that wuld therwise give ff greenhuse gasses in a landfill — t thse experiencing hunger. Accrding t the Famine Early Warning Systems Netwrk, 3.5 millin Kenyans, rughly 37 percent f the ppulatin, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Plicy Atlas reprts rughly 40 percent f fd prduced within Kenya ges t waste. But Brad Leib, Deputy Directr f Harvard Law Schl Fd Law and Plicy Clinic (FLPC), sees sme prmising changes. “While prgress is nt happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s fd lss index has been steadily reduced frm 1,744 metric tns in 2017, t 1,531 in 2018, t 1,446 metric tns in 2019, indicating a steady imprvement and natinal cmmitment t fd lss reductin,” reprts Brad Leib.
Accrding t the Plicy Atlas, mtivating fd dnatin with rewards is particularly imprtant, which helps fd dnrs and fd recvery rganizatins make up fr csts necessary fr recvery, string, prcessing, and transprting fd fr dnatin.
“A majr driver f fd waste is incnsistent r unclear date labels that cause cnfusin amng all actrs alng the value chain and limit the ability f businesses t dnate fd. This increases the likelihd that much safe fd will g t waste,” Brad Leib tells Fd Tank. Hwever, he acknwledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While fd may lse its freshness ver time, it is still edible befre expiratin (到期). Dual date labeling n packaged fds reduces cnfusin by defining dates fr bth safety and quality. This helps reduce cnsiderable waste and respnsibility fr dnrs.
Brad Leib believes that the private sectr can als play a significant rle in decreasing fd waste in Kenya. It is vital fr cnsumer educatin campaigns. FLPC’s research shws that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness amng cnsumers and dnrs arund issues f fd waste and fd dnatin.
25．What changes des Brad Leib see?
A．Kenya is nt cmmitted t reducing fd lss.
B．Prgress in reducing fd waste is happening quickly.
C．Peple in Kenya n lnger suffer hunger.
D．Kenya has gradually reduced its fd waste.
26．What des the underlined wrd “edible” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Eatable.B．Affrdable.C．Delicius.D．Cnvenient.
27．Hw can Kenya reduce fd waste accrding t Brad Leib?
A．By reducing fd prduced within the cuntry.
B．By using duble date labeling n packaged fd.
C．By increasing strehuses.
D．By fighting hunger with rewards.
28．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A．Only the private sectr is helpful in reducing fd waste.
B．Br ad Leib desn’t agree with FLPC n fd waste reductin.
C．Private and public jint effrts matter arund fd issues.
D．Cnsumer educatin campaigns are the mst imprtant.

There is grwing evidence t shw that ur past knwledge abut Mars was nt always the case. Nw Eurpean researchers say they have discvered the first evidence f a huge grundwater system that nce existed belw the planet’s surface.
A new study was carried ut by Francesc Salese and his team, wh studied images f 24 deep craters (n.弹坑) in the nrthern half f the Red Planet. These pictures were captured by ESA’s Mars Express rbiter (n.宇宙飞船), which was launched in 2003. The study prvides the first gelgical prf that Mars nce had a “planet-wide grundwater system.”
Accrding t Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was nce a watery wrld. His team says the images shwed that large amunts f successive grundwater activity cnnected the areas they studied. Evidence f basins and castlines was als fund n the surface f Mars, supprting the idea that water was nce present. He added that all the basins seemed t reach abut the same height.
Scientists have yet t find ut what happened t all that water. And the cmplex histry f water n Mars has linked t whether r nt life ever existed n it. During the latest study, researchers als discvered evidence f minerals within sme f the identified (adj.被识别的) bdies f water.
The researchers say the findings adds weight t the idea that the water basins n Mars may have nce held the materials required t supprt life. Sme f this material culd still be buried n Mars, prviding pssible evidence f life during future explratin. Francesc Salese believes the latest findings culd als help us learn new things abut ur wn planet.
29．What can we infer abut ur past knwledge f Mars?
A．It had n water.
B．It had n grundwater.
C．It had a great grundwater system.
D．It had water n the surface f the planet.
30．Where can yu find the evidence that Mars nce had a “planet-wide grundwater system”?
A．In paragraph 3.B．In paragraph 2.
C．In paragraph 1.D．In paragraph 4.
31．Which f the fllwing best explains “successive” underlined in paragraph 3?
A．cmplicatedB．brilliantC．cntinuusD．incredible
32．What is the main idea f the text?
A．Evidence f water n Mars enables us learn new things abut the earth
B．Our past knwledge abut Mars was incrrect.
C．Evidence f life culd be revealed by the discvery f water n Mars.

I was an average student in my early elementary years. I came hme with a steady flw f B’s, C’s and the ccasinal F’s in secnd language subjects. I was tld that I wasn’t applying myself and, as every reprt card I ever brught hme clearly stated, I talked t much.
I didn’t write when I was suppsed t write. I talked t thers while the teacher was giving instructins. That I culd recite what she had said t the class while I was talking was nt helpful because I had a negative effect n my classmates’ learning. S I regularly brught hme disappinting reprt cards.
My parents and my teachers didn’t knw what t d with me. Punishments didn’t seem t wrk. Rewards didn’t seem t either. And, frankly, I dn’t think I knew what I culd d t “apply myself”. And I certainly didn’t knw hw t nt enjy talking with my classmates! What I knew was that I talked t much. Until grade 5.
That autumn, we had a sudden change in teachers as ur elderly teacher tk a medical leave. In his place, a yung substitute (代课老师) arrived — Mrs Ryal. She lked like she was freshly ut f university and seemed t yung t be cast in the rle f being respnsible fr a class f tween, but there she was, charged with a lively grup, and me.
I dn’t remember many details f that year except the afternn when I gt my first reprt card frm her. She handed ut the reprt cards right after the afternn break and invited us t lk them ver. Then she let us knw that we culd all talk quietly amngst urselves while she called each student up ne at a time, in alphabetical rder (按字母顺序), t discuss ur reprt cards with her.

Grwing thrugh Challenges
Challenges are part f ur life, which cme in different frms. Hwever, it is grwing thrugh these challenges that makes us strnger.
As fr me, ne challenge that I faced was living in the drm independently. It was the first time that I had left my parents and learnt t manage my life all by myself. At first, it was very frustrating that I culdn't adapt t living withut my parents. But with the help f my teachers and classmates, I vercame all the difficulties I met. Nt nly my parents but als I was amazed t find a cmpletely new me.
As Santiag in the bk f The Old Man and the Sea says, “A man can be destryed but nt be defeated.” Only by bravely facing challenges can we gain grwth.
67．
I lked ver my reprt card, expecting the usual result. But t my surprise, her feedback was different. Instead f fcusing n the negatives, she pinted ut the imprvements I had made. She acknwledged my effrts, hwever small, and encuraged me t keep wrking n my weaknesses. I duble-checked and made sure it was definitely my reprt card. Even thugh we had been given permissin t talk amngst urselves, I had very little t say t friends as I waited anxiusly fr her t call my name.
Then it was my turn t talk with her. She began with a warm smile, “Yu have any questins fr me?” I remember lking dwn at my reprt card and saying, “I dn’t get A’s, besides, nwhere n here des it say I talk t much.” She said, “I figured yu already knew yu talked t much, s I thught I culd tell yu smething different. As fr the grades, yu earned the A’s.” Frm that day n, I knew I was capable f “straight A’s” and culd have qualities ther than that f a student wh talked t much in class.
