In a heartwarming tale from Georgia, a 72-year-old senior recently celebrated his college graduation in cinema studies, an achievement made even more special by the presence of his proud 99-year-old mother.
Sam Kaplan of Lawrenceville decided to start on his educational journey at Georgia Gwinnett College in 2019, half a century after he had firstly chosen not to get higher education following his high school graduation in 1969. The catalyst for his return to academia came when he heard a radio announcement about a degree programme in cinema studies.
Recalling that moment, Kaplan said, "I was driving down the highway when I heard about the degree programme. The next exit led to Collinsville, so I immediately exited, and within five minutes, I was enrolling in classes. I've always had a passion for writing and storytelling. I longed to transform my narratives into screenplays, but I realized I needed the basic knowledge to do so,"
Kaplan admitted that the journey was a mix of anxiety and excitement, but it proved to be greatly rewarding. He graduated with a 3.975 grade point average and perfect grade honours, majoring in cinema and media arts, and had desires to continue creating screenplays in the future.
"It was an exciting and nerve-wracking (神经紧张的) challenge. Re-recognizing myself with the art of studying and communicating with fellow students was a lot of fun," he told FOX5 Atlanta.
The most heartwarming thing of Kaplan's graduation day was the presence of his mother, 99-year-old Virginia Kaplan, during the ceremony. Virginia expressed her huge pride, saying, "I am so proud of him. He faced numerous challenges but insisted, and I am delighted, pleased, and extremely proud," the mother also added. "With his new degree, he's going to stand out in whatever he does. Who knows, I might even make an appearance in the movies."

13、 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。
Onni always had a great time with his grandad in winter because his grandad would teach him how to ski and they sometimes went for trips in the nearby woods.
When Onni turned ten, his grandad told him he was old enough to go with him into the Finnish wilderness. Therefore, one day, they put on their skis and set off into the forest, travelling for several kilometres while the sky turned dark above them. Eventually, they arrived at a silent and beautiful wooden cabin. Grandad managed to push the door open. Inside, it was icy-cold and smelled damp and musty.
"Now we need a fire!" said grandad. He pointed at the pot-belly stove in the corner.
They collected armfuls of wood and chopped them up. Before long, a fire lighted up the cabin with a golden light! The old man pulled out a pan and began frying some sausages.
Onni stared out of the window. "What animals live out here?" he asked. "Oh, the forest is full of life!" his grandad answered. "I have seen snow hares, stags, bears and snowy owls. There was only one creature we never managed to see."
"What was that?" asked Onni. He was curious!
"Firefox! They say that during the day: his fur is inky-black. But at night, it shines with the most amazing colours! The light of his fur is supposed to brighten up the night sky at midwinter creating the wonderful glow that we call the Northern Lights, which always guide the people lost in forests."
Grandad sighed. "I always wanted to see this beast! It is said that whoever spots the Firefox would be blessed." Hearing this Onni looked out of the window again in the hope of being the lucky one.
Grandad turned the sausages over as they sizzled (发出咝咝声) in the pan. "Why don't you get some more firewood, Onni?" he suggested. Onni ventured out (冒险外出) again. As the boy was gathering more wood, he heard a sound and saw a glow in the trees.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Overcome by curiosity, Onni followed the sound and the light.
"Grandad! Come out here!" Onni called.

Bees are more than just honey-makers, They are essential pollinators (传粉者) that help maintain the balance of our ecosystems and the diversity of our crops. Bees are among the most diverse and plentiful insects on Earth, with over 20,000 species worldwide. They belong to the order Hymenoptera (膜翅目昆虫), which also includes wasps, ants, and sawflies.
Bees have evolved to feed on nectar (花蜜) and pollen from flowers, and in doing so, they transfer pollen from one flower to another, enabling fertilization (受精) and reproduction. This process, called pollination, is essential for the survival of many plants, especially those that produce fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables that we eat.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), bees and other pollinators affect 35% of global agricultural land, supporting the production of 87% of the leading food crops worldwide.
Pollination also enhances the quality and quantity of the crops, as well as their resistance to pests and diseases. Without bees and other pollinators, our food supply and our biodiversity would be at risk.
Unfortunately, bees are facing many threats, such as habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, diseases, and invasive species. The FAO estimates that 16.5% of vertebrate (脊椎动物) pollinators and 40% of invertebrate pollinators, such as bees, are facing extinction. This could have serious consequences for our food security, our livelihoods, and our environment.
Therefore, it is important to protect the bees and their habitats, and to raise awareness about their role and value.
One way to appreciate and support the bees is to learn how to identify them and observe their behavior. You might be surprised by the diversity and beauty of the bees that visit your backyard, garden, or balcony.
(1)、Why are pollinators important?A、They help the bees fertilize. B、They keep the crops diverse. C、They support the bees to make honey. D、They protect insects such as wasps.(2)、What is the second paragraph mainly about?A、How pollination works. B、How the flowers attract bees. C、How the bees reproduce. D、How the plants produce fruits.(3)、What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A、Climate change. B、Pesticide use. C、Pollinators' survival crisis. D、Bees' habitat loss.(4)、Which would be the best title for the text?A、A duty: Protect Bees' Habitat B、A Means: Observe Bees' Behaviour C、Bees: Maintainers of the Ecosystem D、Bees: Consumers at the Top of the Food Chain -

Step aside, blue collar. And white collar, pink collar and green collar. There's a new collar in town. "New collar" jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees, especially in emerging high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity (网络安全), electric vehicles and robotics.
There are real fears that workers will lose jobs to technology especially artificial intelligence, in the coming years. But "new collar" optimists think in a more positive way: There are also real opportunities ahead for skilled workers who know how to handle machines.
"Somebody has to program, monitor and maintain those robots," said Sarah Boisvert, the founder of the New-Collar Network.
Even if millions of high-tech jobs are created in the coming years, the impact on workers who lose jobs may be significant. For many Americans without four-year college degrees, according to census (人口普查) data, the new job market will require training.
Ginni Rometty, a former chief executive of IBM, is believed to have created a "new collar" in 2016. At the time, she said, IBM was having trouble filling cybersecurity jobs, partly because outdated criteria required that candidates have college degrees.
"Due to our high qualifications in these online jobs, we overlooked a large number of qualified and available candidates," she wrote in an email. "Unless millions of people are trained in the skills employers need now," she added, "they risk being unemployed even as millions of good-paying jobs go unfilled."
Christopher M. Cox, a researcher who has written about the new-collar economy, said, "The alternative model of four-year universities is really great." However, he added that "new collar" may also be a clever term that relieves the anxiety of workers by defining the constantly changing labor market and technology companies as more ideal rather than "terminators (终结者)."
(1)、What does "new collar" mean?A、People engaged in cybersecurity. B、People working at electric vehicles. C、People closely connected with artificial intelligence. D、People with advanced skills regardless of degrees.(2)、What made IBM's cybersecurity jobs unfilled?A、Much stress. B、Low salaries. C、High qualifications. D、Few candidates.(3)、What is the benefit of the "new collar" economy to the society?A、It gives more opportunities to the workers. B、It helps artificial intelligence develop better. C、It rebuilds the confidence of the white collar. D、It changes the system of technology companies.(4)、What is the purpose of the text?A、To explain the anxiety of workers. B、To state the electric vehicle industry. C、To emphasise the college education. D、To introduce the new-collar phenomenon. -

The Luling Mountains in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, used to be a deserted area without even a single tree. Now, it is a leafy paradise for birds, and tourists are flooding in. The huge transformation has occurred thanks to the consistent efforts of Tian Wangui, 67, and his wife Lu Min, 63, over nearly half a century.
In 1982, the couple contracted(承包)the land-use rights of the two mountains near their home. They intended to plant fruit trees in the mountains to make a living. Back then, the mountains were deserted with no trees at all. To help the seedlings(树苗)they planted survive in the barren(贫瘠的)land, the couple had to carry water to the mountains on their backs. They also bought whatever seeds were available from a nearby forest farm and spread them every spring, hoping to afforest the mountains. With such an extensive planting method, however, they initially failed to see many seeds take root in the barren soil. But the couple didn't give up.
The couple's perseverance finally paid off. They discovered that some tree species were tough enough to survive, including pine and mulberry. Now, more than 50,000 trees of over 20 species cover the land they contracted, following their consistent efforts to sow tree seeds year after year.
As the mountains became lush(郁郁葱葱), Tian and Lu were charged with a new task-patrolling(巡逻)their nearly 67 hectares of forest every day to prevent fires. The patrol even didn't stop on the eve of last year's Chinese Lunar New Year. Instead of watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Jan. 21st like most Chinese, the couple went to patrol the mountains with the families of their son and daughter. "Many people set off fireworks to mark the arrival of the new year, so the holiday is a time when we have to stay cautious against fire threats," Tian said.
The couple has no plans to quit their work, and they hope their children will follow in their footsteps. "We cherish the mountains and trees as we cherish our own children," Lu said. "Even as we grow old, they will continue to patrol the woods and watch over the birds."
(1)、What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A、The mountains. B、The forest farm. C、The poor couple. D、The tough condition.(2)、 What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A、More than 20 species were sowed every year. B、Pine and mulberry cannot survive on the land. C、Their continuous efforts eventually worked. D、They bought 50,000 trees according to the contract.(3)、 Which of the following can best describe the couple?A、Honest and hardworking. B、Curious and brave. C、Determined and persevering. D、Friendly and intelligent.(4)、Why do the couple decide to continue their work?A、They regard the mountains as their children. B、They want their children to succeed their career. C、They can earn much money from the mountains. D、They have a life-long contract with the government.
