It all started with a post on social media. Returning home from the grocery store, then 25-year-old Simone Policano felt compelled to help the elderly in her neighbourhood to practise safer social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. With this in mind, she reached out to her friends via the social media, inquiring about existing volunteer opportunities in the state of New York. Unexpectedly, many responded to her post, expressing their interest to volunteer as well. As a result of that outreach, one of her friends, Liam Elkind joined Policano. They decided to start an initiative called Invisible Hands Deliver.

Just two days after conceiving(想出)the idea, Policano and Elkind had a website up and running. This site allowed the elderly and other at-risk individuals to make requests for groceries and prescription medicines to be delivered to them. Volunteers left the bags of groceries outside the doors. The webpage also included a call for volunteers, which gained more than 2,000 sign-ups within the first five days.

As the pandemic began to take its toll on New York in March 2020, Invisible Hands Deliver witnessed a massive outpouring of support from like-minded individuals in the community. Besides volunteering to deliver groceries for free, New Yorkers also reached out to translate the Invisible Hands flyers into over a dozen languages, enabling the organisation to reach out to more members of the community.

Following its success in New York and New Jersey, the organisation has expanded its operations to Philadelphia and there are plans to expand to other areas of the United States. Their acts of kindness have also inspired similar networks to sprout up worldwide. Invisible Hands Deliver is also supported by other organizations.

Helmed by a team of college students and recent graduates, Invisible Hands Deliver has shown that one is never too young to make a difference and give back to the community. In a time when the pandemic has forced people apart, the young are in a prime position to take advantage of technology and bridge the gap, bringing communities together.

4. Why did Simone Policano setup “Invisible Hands Deliver”?

A. To practice outreach on the social media.

B. To bring volunteers of the same interest together.

C. To help the elderly with their daily chores contactlessly.

D. To sell groceries and prescription medicines to the lonely elderly.

5. What does the underlined phrase “take its toll” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Cause great damage. B. Reduce the impact.

C. Fill a huge gap. D. Recover slowly.

6. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Invisible Hands Deliver has drawn wide attention.

B. People responded to Simon’s post in actively at the beginning.

C. Invisible Hands Deliver has existed in many areas of the United States.

D. Young people pull the elderly together when the pandemic pulls them apart.

7. What does the author want to convey through the passage?

A. Great minds think alike. B. All the people gather the fire.

C. Great things never come easy. D. Kill two birds with one stone.

C

Many of the psychological benefits of outdoor play are already well established. Our brains evolved in natural landscapes, and our perceptual(感知的)systems are particularly well suited to wild outdoor spaces.

This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation, which is thought to help recharge the brain when it is tired and easily distractible. Supporting this theory, one study found that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were better able to concentrate following a 20-minute walk in the park, compared to a 20-minute walk on the streets of a well-kept urban area. Being exposed to grass and trees seemed to have had a beneficial effect on their minds. The authors recommended using such “doses(剂量)of nature” as a safe and accessible way of supporting children with ADHD, alongside other tools.

Besides these restorative effects, outdoor play can offer valuable learning experiences. For example, playing with mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interact, which allows the child to gradually understand his or her body signals.

Such activities — away from the house or classroom — may also help children to find ways to cope with emotions that maybe hard to explore in other environments. So-called “sand tray therapy”, which involves using sand and clay to express one’s thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of counselling for children who are struggling to verbalise their emotional state.

When it comes to the child’s physical health, the most obvious advantage of outdoor play maybe the exercise A child may find it easier to buildup strength and endurance in a large open space resulting in a reduced risk of overweight, according to one study led by Elizabeth Gershoff, professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, US.

The latest findings, however, suggest there could be a host of other advantages to playing in natural environments — and the secret maybe alive in the mud itself.

8. What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A. To present the topic. B. To display brain landscapes.

C. To prove the well-established benefits. D. To introduce the perceptual systems.

9. How does the study show that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation?

A. By recording learning experiences. B. By comparing walking in different settings.

C. By observing different activities. D. By exposing children to grass and trees.

10. What’s the advantage of sand tray therapy?

A. Children can speak out their inner thoughts.

B. Children can develop their senses and movements.

C. Children can express their thoughts by applying sand.

D. Children can cope with their emotions in the classroom.

11. What does the author mean by saying “the secret maybe alive in the mud itself’?

A. Playing outdoors brings unexpected benefits.

B. Playing in the mud is the best outdoor exercise.

C. Playing outdoors can cure children with ADHD.

D. Playing in the mud can reduce the risk of overweight.

D

Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.”

Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.

The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies.

“It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton.

12. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph?

A. The desire to lead a sustainable life.

B. The good intention to help recycling.

C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills.

D. The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled.

13. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis?

A. People are becoming more eco-conscious.

B. Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years.

C. Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities.

D. People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin.

14. Which of the following is a proper way of recycling?

A. Dispose of electronics together with household waste.

B. Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label.

C. Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not.

D. Cutoff the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin.

15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A Recycling: a Big Project B. Wish-cycling: a New Trend

C. Wish-cycling: a Growing Concern D. Pre-cycling: an Effective Method

How to accept change in life and embrace it positively

Change is the only constant in life. ____16____ Because whether we want it or not, change is inevitable. It is “change” that makes our life move forward. It’s “change” that makes life exciting and worth living. Let’s see how to stay strong when we face changes in life.

Accept the situation

Changes happen expectedly and unexpectedly. ____17____ But there can be changes that happen so suddenly that you might have to experience painful days and have a tough time coping with them. Give yourself sometime to come to terms with it. You may have to go through a mourning period where you have to experience all kinds of emotions. Let the emotions come out and make space for them. It’s normal to feel sad and a sense of loss when you think about your old life. Seek support and if possible, take a few days off to find your strength. It’s important to learn to deal with the transition phase before you fully start living the new reality.

Embrace the unknown

Most of us are afraid of the unknown and therefore are resistant to change. ____18____ Even if it is for good, we hesitate to accept change because human beings love structure and routine. But I have often experienced in my life that the “unknown” I feared so much was not that scary at all, once I went through it. And that my worries were something that my mind made up. Truth be told, most of the things I worried about didn’t happen anyway. If we are not willing to embrace the unknown, we may miss out on lots of good things that life has kept in store for us.

____19____

One of the reasons change is difficult to accept is because of the range of emotions we feel when we confront change. ____20____ Acknowledge your fears, but stop yourself from being tunnel-visioned. Our mind has away of bringing up possible scenarios and fear them. But I have learned over the years that most of the things we fear don’t happen and usually, something good comes from change. I recently learned how to embrace emotions from one of my spiritual teachers. She would say, “When you feel emotions, give them a name and acknowledge that they have come to ‘visit’.”

A. Acknowledge your fears.

B. Look at how far you have come.

C. The sooner we learn to make peace with this fact, the better.

D. We fear the unknown because anything can happen to us there.

E. Expected or planned changes can buy us sometime for preparation.

F. It’s important to embrace your feelings and accept that they are there.

G. People who have experienced the loss of loved ones often talk about how that experience changed them.

All of our routines were upended. But ____26____, I loved it.

I loved the bunk bed, where I ____27____ my brother was right above me, close enough for me to reach up and ____28____ if needed. I loved the small kitchen, where my mother would cook and I would read aloud to her. I loved that there were no other ____29____ anywhere nearby, so my brother had to play with me. I loved the games that we found in the cabin. I loved that as I went to sleep at night, the light from the living room and the _____30_____ of my father watching TV were just a few feet away.

In that period of disruption, I loved the closeness that our small cabin _____31_____ us. In our normal lives, I wouldn’t have dared to ask my brother to play with me instead of his friends. I couldn’t have _____32_____ to share a bedroom with him. In our normal lives, I wouldn’t have been allowed to _____33_____ late enough to hear my father watching TV.

_____34_____ my parents found a new house and we moved into it. It was bigger than our old house and much bigger than the cabin. But I mourned the loss of the cabin and, particularly, the loss of the _____35_____.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Many years ago, when I was a young man in my twenties, I worked as a salesman for a St. Louis piano company. Every time we would advertise in Southeast Missouri, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said, “Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. I can pay $10 a month with my egg money.” The old lady scrawled on and on and on that postcard until she filled it up.

Of course, we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month. No finance company would carry a contract with payments that small, so we ignored her postcards.

One day, however, I happened to be in that area calling on other replies, and out of curiosity I decided to look the old lady up: The old lady lived in a small and dirty house in the middle of a cotton field. There were chickens in the house. Obviously, the old lady could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit. Her little granddaughter was about 10, barefoot. I explained to the old lady that we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month. However, she still sent us the same postcard every six weeks.

A couple of years later, I owned my own piano company, and when I advertised in that area, the postcards started coming to me. For months, I ignored them.

But then, one day, despite knowing that I was about to make a terrible business decision, I delivered the piano to the old lady and told her I would carry the contract myself at $10 a month with no interest, and that would mean 52 payments. I took the new piano in the house and placed it where I thought the roof would be least likely to rain on it. It old her and the little girl to try to keep the chickens off of it, and I left — sure I had just thrown away a new piano.

But the payments came in, all 52 of them as agreed — sometimes with coins taped to a 3×5inch card in the envelope. It was incredible!

So, I put the incident out of my mind for 20 years.

【答案】     Then one day, as I was sitting at the bar having an after-dinner drink, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. Looking around, I saw a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano. Stunned by her great performance, I moved to a table beside her. She stopped and smiled at me politely, “Aren’t you the man who sent my grandma a piano a long time ago?” It didn’t ring a bell, so she started to explain. And I suddenly remembered. My goodness, it was her, the little barefoot girl. I wanted to know more about the girl.

  She told me her name was Elise and since her grandmother couldn’t afford to pay for lessons, she had learned to play by listening to the radio. After practicing hard, she could play many songs. Then, she was admitted to a music school where she was offered a scholarship. She expressed her deep gratitude to me. She said, “ If you hadn’t given me this piano, I wouldn’t be where I am right now.” I felt proud of her and also told that it was her grandma’s persistence and love that made her achieve her dream.
