Every Sunday afternn, twelve-year-ld Pedr walks three blcks t the hme f Mrs. Chen, an 80-year-ld widw wh lives alne. He desn’t g there t play vide games r watch televisin. He ges there t read.
It started six mnths ag. Pedr’s schl started a “Cmmunity Cnnectins” prgram, asking students t spend ne hur each week with an elderly neighbr. Pedr was nervus at first. What wuld he talk abut with smene s ld? But his mther encuraged him t try.
The first time Pedr kncked n Mrs. Chen’s dr, she pened it slwly. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. “A visitr!” she said. They sat in her living rm, surrunded by ld phtgraphs and bks. Pedr didn’t knw what t say, s he asked, “D yu like stries, Mrs. Chen?” She smiled and said, “I lve them. But my eyes aren’t what they used t be. I haven’t read a bk in tw years.”
That’s when Pedr gt an idea. He ran hme and grabbed his favrite bk, a cllectin f adventure stries. He came back and said, “Can I read t yu?” Mrs. Chen’s eyes filled with tears. “I wuld like that very much,” she whispered.
Nw, reading t Mrs. Chen has becme the best part f Pedr’s week. He has read her three whle bks. Smetimes they laugh tgether at funny parts. Smetimes Mrs. Chen tells him stries abut her wn childhd in Shanghai. Pedr has learned that ld peple are nt s different frm yung peple. They bth need friendship. They bth have wnderful stries t share.

Every year, millins f tns f plastic waste end up in the cean. This plastic des nt disappear. Instead, it breaks dwn int tiny pieces called micrplastics. These micrplastics are smaller than a grain f rice. Fish and ther sea animals eat them by accident. Then, larger animals eat thse fish. Eventually, the plastic particles can end up n ur wn dinner plates.
Scientists are very wrried abut this prblem. Micrplastics have been fund in tap water, bttled water, and even in the air we breathe. But what can rdinary peple d? The prblem seems t big fr ne persn t slve.
Hwever, a 15-year-ld student named Hailey frm Flrida decided t try. She learned that ne f the biggest surces f micrplastics is the tiny fibers that wash ff ur clthes when we d laundry. Many clthes are made f plyester, nyln, and acrylic. Every time we wash them, thusands f tiny plastic fibers g dwn the drain and int the water system.
Hailey invented a simple device called the “Cra Ball”. The ball lks like a bumpy, textured ty. Yu thrw it int yur washing machine. When the machine runs, the ball catches many f the tiny plastic fibers befre they can g dwn the drain. Hailey’s inventin wn first prize in a natinal science cmpetitin. Nw, a cmpany is manufacturing the Cra Ball, and thusands f peple are using it.
“Yu dn’t have t be an adult t make a difference,” Hailey said in an interview. “Small actins, when multiplied by millins f peple, can change the wrld.”
Scientists agree that the best slutin is t prduce less plastic in the first place. But while we wrk tward that gal, inventins like the Cra Ball can help reduce the harm. Every piece f plastic that desn’t reach the cean is a small victry.
18. What are micrplastics accrding t the passage?
A．Plastic bags that are very small.
B．Tiny pieces f plastic smaller than a grain f rice.
C．A special type f plastic that disappears in water.
D．Plastic that nly cmes frm washing machines.
19. What prblem did Hailey try t slve?
A．Peple using t many plastic bags. B．Plastic fibers washing ff clthes int water.
C．Fish eating plastic tys in the cean. D．Factries prducing t much plastic.
20. Hw des the Cra Ball wrk?
A．It cleans the clthes withut using water. B．It catches plastic fibers during the wash.
C．It changes plastic int smething harmless. D．It tells yu when t stp the washing machine.
21. What is the main message that Hailey wants t share?
A．Only scientists can slve envirnmental prblems.
B．Yung peple shuld wait until they grw up t help.
C．Everyne, even a teenager, can make a difference.
D．Washing clthes is the biggest cause f pllutin.

What if yu culd travel back in time? Where wuld yu g? Wuld yu watch the building f the Great Wall? Wuld yu sit beside Albert Einstein as he develped his thery f relativity? Or wuld yu g back t yesterday and fix that mistake yu made n the math test?
Time travel has been a ppular tpic in science fictin fr mre than a hundred years. H.G. Wells’s 1895 nvel The Time Machine intrduced the idea t the wrld. Since then, cuntless bks, mvies, and TV shws have explred the pssibilities. But is time travel actually pssible? The answer might surprise yu.
Accrding t Albert Einstein’s thery f relativity, time is nt the same everywhere. It mves slwer fr bjects that are mving very fast. Fr example, astrnauts n the Internatinal Space Statin age slightly slwer than peple n Earth. This effect is called “time dilatin”. Scientists have prven it with extremely precise clcks.
Hwever, traveling backward in time is much mre difficult. Mst physicists believe it is impssible. One famus scientist, Stephen Hawking, perfrmed a simple experiment t test it. He threw a party fr time travelers. But he nly annunced the party after it had already happened. The idea was that if time travelers existed, they culd g back and attend the party. N ne shwed up.
Even if traveling backward is impssible, traveling frward in time is definitely real. Every time yu take a flight, yu travel int the future—just by a tiny, unmeasurable amunt. If yu culd travel clse t the speed f light, yu culd jump thusands f years int the future in what felt like nly a few days t yu.
But there is a catch. Yu culd never return t the time yu left. Yur friends and family wuld be lng gne. S, wuld yu still want t take that trip?
22. What is the main purpse f the first paragraph?
A．T describe hw time machines wrk.
B．T encurage readers t build a time machine.
C．T get readers interested in the tpic f time travel.
D．T argue that time travel is a waste f time.
23. What des the “time dilatin” effect prve?
A．Time is the same everywhere in the universe.
B．Astrnauts age faster than peple n Earth.
C．Time mves slwer fr very fast-mving bjects.
D．Traveling backward in time is easy t achieve.
24. Why did Stephen Hawking thrw a party after it had already happened?
A．He wanted t celebrate his birthday alne.
B．He was testing whether time travelers wuld cme back t attend.
C．He frgt t invite peple until the party was ver.
D．He wanted t prve that time travel is pssible.
25. What is the “catch” f traveling far int the future?
A．It csts t much mney.
B．Yu can never return t yur riginal time.
C．Yu will frget everything frm yur past.
D．It feels much lnger than yu expect.

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Fr mst f her life, 16-year-ld Maria had been shy. She never raised her hand in class. She ate lunch alne by chice. She had ne friend, her neighbr Sfia, and that felt like enugh.
Then her schl annunced a “Cmmunity Service Day”. Every student had t spend the day helping smewhere in the twn. Maria was terrified. She was assigned t the lcal animal shelter. “I have t talk t strangers all day?” she thught. “This is ging t be a disaster.”
At the shelter, the manager asked Maria t help scialize the cats. “What des that mean?” Maria asked nervusly. “Just sit with them. Pet them. Talk t them,” the manager said. “Cats dn’t judge yu. They just need cmpany.”
Maria sat dwn in a small rm with six cats. At first, she didn’t knw what t d. She sat still, her hands in her lap. Then a small black cat walked ver and rubbed against her leg. Withut thinking, Maria reached dwn and gently scratched behind its ears. The cat began t purr ludly.
Fr the next fur hurs, Maria talked t that cat. She tld it abut her fear f speaking in class. She tld it abut hw she felt lnely smetimes, even thugh she said she preferred being alne. The cat just sat there, listening, purring. By the end f the day, Maria had named the cat “Shadw”.
When it was time t leave, the manager said, “Shadw has been here fr six mnths. N ne wanted t adpt him because he’s shy. He hides frm everyne. But tday, he came ut fr yu.”
Smething clicked in Maria’s heart. She understd smething she had never understd befre. Being shy wasn’t a weakness. It just meant she cnnected with thers differently. And maybe, just maybe, she culd be the persn wh reached ut t ther shy creatures—human r animal—wh needed smene t sit with them in silence.
Maria went hme and asked her parents if she culd vlunteer at the shelter every Saturday. They said yes. That was tw years ag. Tday, Maria is still shy. But she is als the shelter’s best vlunteer, and Shadw is sleeping n her bed at hme.
