Sonya and her family have been homeless since she was 3 years old. Over the years, they have moved more than 15 times to different shelters around New York City. Moving around was hard on Sonya. At school, Sonya hid her homelessness from teachers and other students. She didn’t want to be treated differently from other kids.

In sixth grade, Sonya discovered a way to deal with some of her stress（压力). She began studying dance at her middle school. “It was a way for me to express myself，instead of just holding everything in,” she explains. Soon, Sonya auditioned（试演）for a summer dance camp run by Alvin Alley, a famous dance company. She was accepted. “I was delirious,” says Sonya.

Dancing became an even more important part of Sonya's life in high school. But things were not going well for Sonya at school. Each time her family moved to a new shelter, Sonya missed school. As the second-oldest of six kids, Sonya often took care of her younger sisters and brothers. She helped them get ready in the morning and took them to school. They would be on time, but Sonya would be late.

Worrying about her family kept Sonya from thinking about her own future. That changed the summer after 11th grade. Sonya learned she would have to go to summer school to graduate. She became determined to succeed, no matter what. “It was a wake-up call,” she says. “I had to focus on school and on myself.”

Sonya made up the work that she had missed, and finally graduated from high School. No one in her family had gone to college before." But in September 2015, Sonya enrolled（登记入学）in the State University of New York at Potsdam. She plans to become a doctor for kids and to teach dance to children who have disabilities.

In the coming months, a 170-foot-high drilling rig(钻机)will transform wasteground near Redruth into a new landmark. The drill belongs to a group that is planning to develop Britain's first commercial-scale geothermal(地热的）plant on the site. Geothermal Engineering has chosen this part of Cornwall -once famous for its tin and copper----because of its geology. It sits on a bed of granite(花岗岩)whose temperature can reach 200℃.Water will be pumped deep underground and will return to the surface as steam, which will generate electricity.

Ryan Law, founder and managing director of Geothermal Engineering, plans to have three wells at the plant, which together he estimates will produce10 MW of electricity, enough to power 20,000 homes, and 55 MW of heat energy, capable of heating ten hospitals 24 hours a day. The challenge is that the rock is 4.5 kilometers below the earth' s surface, meaning that months of precise drilling will be required before any energy is produced. The company has a head start. In 1976,the government-funded Hot Dry Rock Research Project began deep drilling to study the area's geology. Law plans to use the detailed maps the team produced over fifteen years to direct his efforts.

Geothermal energy is not new. The world's first conventional geothermal power station, in southern Tuscany, has been producing electricity for 100 years. In Iceland, a quarter of the country's electricity comes from geothermal power. Investment in geothermal projects in Australia has reached $2 billion by 2014.The industry is also well established in America and Germany. In Britain, schemes are under way in Southampton and Newcastle.

Conventional geothermal power relies on naturally occurring steam pockets near the earth's surface so it tends to be limited to volcanically active regions or areas close to fault lines(断层线). Law claims the process his company uses removes this limitation, making the industry workable almost anywhere in the world.

However, the industry has so far failed to prove it can fulfill its promise. Critics argue it is costly, reliant on high-risk, time-consuming drilling and struggles to produce large amounts of energy. Law refuses to let such doubts dampen his ambitions. “The potential is great and we are planning another 25 plants,” he said.

28. For what reason has Geothermal Engineering chosen the specific part of Cornwall?

A. Its broad wasteland.

B. Its mineral resources.

C. Its extremely hot weather.

D. Its special geological conditions.

29. What is the main challenge faced by the geothermal industry?

A. Drilling deep into the ground.

B. Transferring electricity produced.

C. Finding reliable previous research.

D. Drawing detailed maps of the area.

30. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By analyzing causes.

C. By following time order.

D. By making comparisons.

31. What is Law's attitude towards the geothermal industry?

A. Curious.

B. Doubtful.

C. Optimistic.

D. Disappointed.

D

Ah, graduation day. Family parties. Student awards. Excited parents busy taking photos. Limo (豪华轿车) rides to the ceremony . All in celebration of years of hard work and the exciting things to come after primary school.

Wait, what? Yes, primary school graduation ceremonies are becoming more popular than ever. And at my school, the fifth grade graduation is serious business.

A few weeks before fifth grade graduation, I received a special parent email.

"I would like to know if my boy is going to be the only kid not receiving an award on graduation day, because 1 am going to save him from the embarrassment and favoritism that has been shown all year and will not have him at the graduation."

Awards are part of the end-of-year excitement at my school and the hardest thing I have to do all year. Picking five of 14 students to be called before the whole school seems like a heart-break for the other nine. Someone is always going to be left out and clearly, the parents feel the pressure .

I chose not to answer the email, knowing the email was sent under pressure. The boy in question would receive an award, not because of his mother's email, but because his achievement was great.

On the day of the ceremony, that boy and four others were awarded and posed for pictures together in new dress clothes. I congratulated all the students — without considering their achievements — on having an excellent year and wished them well at their new schools.

But as another year's graduation is coming soon, I'm left feeling uneasy. Not to take away anything from my present class of wonderful students as they prepare to head out to new schools, but I believe that such ceremonies like this should be held at the end of high school and college. Is it too much or too soon to celebrate our children and their achievements?

32. The first paragraph is written to _________.

A. attract readers with interesting facts

B. give the causes of the problem

C. express the main idea of the text

D. show the importance of the topic

33. Why did the parent send the author the email?

A. To ask him to give her son an award.

B. To express anger at how her son had been treated.

C. To ask for some information about graduation day.

D. To report her son's possible absence from graduation.

34. What does the author find most difficult about the graduation ceremony?

A. Dealing with parent emails.

B. Saying goodbye to his students.

C. Deciding who will receive awards.

D. Freeing his students from pressure.

35. What's the author's attitude towards graduation ceremonies?

A. They are a waste of money.    

B. They are only meaningful for college students.

C. They are not proper for primary school students.

D. They are not a good way to celebrate students' achievements.
