When the students started the campaign, their gal was t get Mr. James sme extra mney t help with his rent issues. The page was disabled nly tw weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jasn Hper, the principal f Callisburg High Schl. “The need was met because f three kind kids—f all ur students wh ffered help.” Many f the dnatins t the GFundMe page are frm students and staff at Callisburg, with mst f them nly $5 r $10 each.
“It is crazy t see smething like that. We knew peple wuld have wanted t help,” said Yusk, “We didn’t knw it wuld blw up.”
At the time f researching and writing this stry, Mr. James said that he was ready t return t retirement. “It’s what we’re abut,” Hper said, “We’re a small twn. We’re family. We dn’t always agree, but we lve and help ur wn.”

Kim fund the prspect f learning a new language discuraging, especially as an adult. She saw spending dzens r hurs a year n lessns with nly slw prgress n a new skill as ut f reach. This was undubtedly nw Kim felt abut her decades’ lng ambitin t learn Spanish. That all changed, hwever, when a ppular language-learning app presented a mre attractive apprach: cmplete ne lessn—just six r seven minutes lng—every day in rder t eventually becme bilingual (双语的). This adds up t abut 40 hurs f study each year, but it is presented as a bite-size daily gal. Actually, this can be applied t almst any ambitius target. But hw effective is it?
Fr ur study, we partnered with CTL, a nnprfit rganizatin that prvides free crisis cnsultatin. All CTL vlunteers are asked t cmplete 200 hurs f crisis cnsultatin within a year. We were curius if breaking dwn this gal culd make it mre apprachable and increase actual wrking hurs.
We randmly assigned mre than 9,000 CTL vlunteers t receive e-mails fr three mnths. One grup was encuraged t hit the 200-hur mark with n actual gal breakdwn. Tw ther grups, hwever, were given clear subgals: we encuraged ne t vlunteer fr fur hurs every week and the ther t vlunteer fr eight hurs every tw weeks. Then we tracked hw much time each grup spent vlunteering during ur study.
Bth grups wh were encuraged t fcus n a smaller subgal vlunteered 7 t 8 percent mre than their peers wh were merely encuraged t hit their big gal. We als fund suggestive evidence that the mre flexible “eight hurs every tw weeks” framing led t mre lasting benefits ver time. Althugh vlunteering declined each week during the study acrss all participants, this decline was slwer in the “eight hurs every tw weeks” cnditin. It suggests that making mdest gals flexible might encurage lng-term perseverance.
If s, after ne year, becming bilingual is at last within reach fr Kim.
28. The authr mentins Kim in the first paragraph mainly t ________.
A make a predictinB. intrduce a tpic
C. present an assumptinD. evaluate an argument
29. Why did the authr and his team cperate with CLT?
A. T calculate the prfits f the rganizatin.
B. T increase the actual hurs f vluntary wrk.
C. T evaluate the effectiveness f a gal-setting strategy.
D. T imprve the wrking skills f vlunteers in cnsultatin.
30. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Analysis f the study.B. Prcess f the study.
C. Findings f the study.D. Significance f the study.
31. What des the authr intend t tell us?
A. Making a fixed gal helps lnger perseverance.
B. Setting a bigger gal drives peple t achieve mre.
C Sticking t an ambitius gal cntributes t success.
D. Breaking dwn a bigger gal leads t better results.

Our planet has just seen its httest mnth n recrd, with many places n fire r flded. The likelihd f extreme weather keeps increasing—and peple are nticing. Hwever, nt everyne ntices r feels this threat t the same extent.
Based n a representative sample f 1,071 survey respndents frm acrss the UK, we fund that peple in rural areas shwed higher degrees f place attachment than peple living in cities, as we expected. Hwever, we were surprised t see that the perceived threat f climate change in: mst rural lcatins was lwer. We had nt expected that utcme, s we started t dig a little deeper fr pssible reasns.
Rural peple may be mre resilient t change. Rural peple may experience climate change like everyne else, but they may have better ways f cping with it than city residents because f their clser relatinship with nature. This may have taught them t be mre flexible in hw they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lt and that culd make them less wrried abut the majr changes happening arund them.
Peple in rural areas may nt be as aware f climate change as peple in cities. Lking mre clsely, the effect is mstly dwn t educatin rather than whether peple live in rural areas r nt. Research shws that general levels f climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this des nt necessarily crrespnd t readiness fr actin r behaviural change. It is well dcumented, thugh, that rural inhabitants tend t have mre cnservative views, which culd affect the way climate change is interpreted. Cnservative views are ften assciated with less cncern abut the climate.
Peple in rural areas may nt experience climate change in the same wav as peple in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels f green space than urban areas. Fr example, yu will feel the heat less when yu are surrunded by trees.
S, althugh we were surprised that the higher degree f place attachment in peple living rurally did nt necessarily lead t a higher perceptin f climate change threat, we can see there are gd reasns fr that.
32. What des the wrd “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Easy t adapt.B. Ready t illustrate.
C. Difficult t ntice.D. Willing t challenge.
33 What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Cnservative views in rural areas lwer the perceptin f climate change.
B. Strng rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness.
C. Well-educated peple are mre likely t take actins fr climate change.
D. Rural peple pay mre attentin t climate change than city residents.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Wh are t blame fr climate change?
B. Hw d peple perceive climate change?
C. Why is climate change perceived differently?
D. What can peple d t cpe with climate change?

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The legendary hrrr authr H. P. Lvecraft wrte that “the ldest and strngest emtin f mankind is fear, and the ldest and strngest kind f fear is fear f the unknwn.”
Uncertainty causes peple t see threats everywhere they lk and at the same time it makes them likely t react emtinally. Even minr perids f unpredictability can cause significant negative effects. Research n traffic jam, fr example, has fund that the lack f cntrl drivers feel sends stress and anger levels thrugh the rf. Uncertain bus, train, and plane delays are als majr surces f uncertainty-triggered distress. One study fund that giving peple up-t-the-minute wait times was an effective way t limit anxiety and frustratin. Even if the wait fr a bus turned ut t be lng, remving the element f uncertainty made cmmuters feel better.
Different peple respnd t uncertainty in different ways. Unfrtunately, many are unhelpful cping strategies.
Peple wh struggle with uncertainty ften respnd t it by wrrying. They als tend t think that wrrying will smehw help them prepare fr what’s t cme. This is false. The mre peple engage in wrrying, the less they feel cnfident in their ability t slve a prblem and the wrse their slutins tend t be.
Trying t seek ut new and helpful infrmatin can als backfire. BMC Public Health fund that peple can nly prcess and make sense f a limited infrmatin, and that cnsuming t much new infrmatin can lead t cnfusin and increased uncertainty.
Still, hw t remve the effects f uncertainty is fd fr thught.
40. Accrding t H. P. Lvecraft, what is the ldest and strngest fear?

41. Why can up-t-the-minute wait times limit anxiety?

Kim fund the prspect f learning a new language discuraging, especially as an adult. She saw spending dzens r hurs a year n lessns with nly slw prgress n a new skill as ut f reach. This was undubtedly nw Kim felt abut her decades’ lng ambitin t learn Spanish. That all changed, hwever, when a ppular language-learning app presented a mre attractive apprach: cmplete ne lessn—just six r seven minutes lng—every day in rder t eventually becme bilingual (双语的). This adds up t abut 40 hurs f study each year, but it is presented as a bite-size daily gal. Actually, this can be applied t almst any ambitius target. But hw effective is it?
Fr ur study, we partnered with CTL, a nnprfit rganizatin that prvides free crisis cnsultatin. All CTL vlunteers are asked t cmplete 200 hurs f crisis cnsultatin within a year. We were curius if breaking dwn this gal culd make it mre apprachable and increase actual wrking hurs.
We randmly assigned mre than 9,000 CTL vlunteers t receive e-mails fr three mnths. One grup was encuraged t hit the 200-hur mark with n actual gal breakdwn. Tw ther grups, hwever, were given clear subgals: we encuraged ne t vlunteer fr fur hurs every week and the ther t vlunteer fr eight hurs every tw weeks. Then we tracked hw much time each grup spent vlunteering during ur study.
Bth grups wh were encuraged t fcus n a smaller subgal vlunteered 7 t 8 percent mre than their peers wh were merely encuraged t hit their big gal. We als fund suggestive evidence that the mre flexible “eight hurs every tw weeks” framing led t mre lasting benefits ver time. Althugh vlunteering declined each week during the study acrss all participants, this decline was slwer in the “eight hurs every tw weeks” cnditin. It suggests that making mdest gals flexible might encurage lng-term perseverance.
If s, after ne year, becming bilingual is at last within reach fr Kim.

Our planet has just seen its httest mnth n recrd, with many places n fire r flded. The likelihd f extreme weather keeps increasing—and peple are nticing. Hwever, nt everyne ntices r feels this threat t the same extent.
Based n a representative sample f 1,071 survey respndents frm acrss the UK, we fund that peple in rural areas shwed higher degrees f place attachment than peple living in cities, as we expected. Hwever, we were surprised t see that the perceived threat f climate change in: mst rural lcatins was lwer. We had nt expected that utcme, s we started t dig a little deeper fr pssible reasns.
Rural peple may be mre resilient t change. Rural peple may experience climate change like everyne else, but they may have better ways f cping with it than city residents because f their clser relatinship with nature. This may have taught them t be mre flexible in hw they deal with change. After all, nature changes a lt and that culd make them less wrried abut the majr changes happening arund them.
Peple in rural areas may nt be as aware f climate change as peple in cities. Lking mre clsely, the effect is mstly dwn t educatin rather than whether peple live in rural areas r nt. Research shws that general levels f climate awareness in the UK are quite high. But this des nt necessarily crrespnd t readiness fr actin r behaviural change. It is well dcumented, thugh, that rural inhabitants tend t have mre cnservative views, which culd affect the way climate change is interpreted. Cnservative views are ften assciated with less cncern abut the climate.
Peple in rural areas may nt experience climate change in the same wav as peple in cities. This is because rural areas have higher levels f green space than urban areas. Fr example, yu will feel the heat less when yu are surrunded by trees.
S, althugh we were surprised that the higher degree f place attachment in peple living rurally did nt necessarily lead t a higher perceptin f climate change threat, we can see there are gd reasns fr that.
32. What des the wrd “resilient” underlined in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Easy t adapt.B. Ready t illustrate.
C. Difficult t ntice.D. Willing t challenge.
33 What can we learn frm the passage?

B. Strng rural place attachment results in higher climate change awareness.
C. Well-educated peple are mre likely t take actins fr climate change.
D. Rural peple pay mre attentin t climate change than city residents.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The legendary hrrr authr H. P. Lvecraft wrte that “the ldest and strngest emtin f mankind is fear, and the ldest and strngest kind f fear is fear f the unknwn.”
Uncertainty causes peple t see threats everywhere they lk and at the same time it makes them likely t react emtinally. Even minr perids f unpredictability can cause significant negative effects. Research n traffic jam, fr example, has fund that the lack f cntrl drivers feel sends stress and anger levels thrugh the rf. Uncertain bus, train, and plane delays are als majr surces f uncertainty-triggered distress. One study fund that giving peple up-t-the-minute wait times was an effective way t limit anxiety and frustratin. Even if the wait fr a bus turned ut t be lng, remving the element f uncertainty made cmmuters feel better.
Different peple respnd t uncertainty in different ways. Unfrtunately, many are unhelpful cping strategies.
Peple wh struggle with uncertainty ften respnd t it by wrrying. They als tend t think that wrrying will smehw help them prepare fr what’s t cme. This is false. The mre peple engage in wrrying, the less they feel cnfident in their ability t slve a prblem and the wrse their slutins tend t be.
Trying t seek ut new and helpful infrmatin can als backfire. BMC Public Health fund that peple can nly prcess and make sense f a limited infrmatin, and that cnsuming t much new infrmatin can lead t cnfusin and increased uncertainty.
Still, hw t remve the effects f uncertainty is fd fr thught.
40. Accrding t H. P. Lvecraft, what is the ldest and strngest fear?
