As a nurse at the cancer care center where I've worked for seven years, I'll do almost anything to make a patient feel better. But when I met Patty at the center, in 2011, she didn't want my help.
She was a tiny 44-year-old single mom battling an aggressive head and neck cancer. Unlike many of our other patients, Patty was alone during her treatment, but no matter what I did. I couldn't get her to open up. She just buried herself in book or pulled a blanket over her head to fend off conversation.
Eventually I hit on a reliable way to make Patty smile: mentioning her nine-year-old son, Stephen. She'd tell me how well he did in school, how he'd been selected to read a poem he wrote at a local bookstore. She desperately wanted to live for him. With three kids myself, I totally understood how she felt.
After a year and a half of treatment, in August 2012, Patty was told her cancer had spread, and I learned she wouldn't live much longer. My first thought was, "What's going to happen to Stephen?"
Nurses at the center shared stories at their meetings about how bright and unusual the boy was. but no one seemed to know how to resolve the issue of what would happen to him when his mom died. My husband, Michael, who too works at the center, started hearing about Patty and Stephen.
One morning in October, Patty quietly slipped away. Michael and I picked Stephen up after school, drove him to a nearby park, and sat on a bench by a pond. I finally managed to say, "Stephen, we're sorry to have to tell you this, but your mom came to an end this morning." The sound that came out of his mouth was like nothing I'd ever heard before. This skinny little guy sat between the two of us and just wailed (哀号) and wailed. It was as if his whole world was just destroyed.

3、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since the summer of 2022, a 26-year-old Shanghai resident ( name) Chen Jiaorong has been walking along Julu Road in Shanghai's downtown area once or twice a week, looking around and picking up"garbage". After her action was noticed online, she was described by others a "stooper".
The word "stoop" means "to bend forward", in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term "stooper"was coined in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused (belong) in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, "stooping" was extended to mean "picking up abandoned items and (recycle) them".
As the first "stooper" in China, Chen had (she) own approach. She picked unused goods to help find suitable new owners for some items. When she (spot) such abandoned goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others ( pick) them up from the streets.
Although "stooping" is a (relative) new word in China, now, people are gradually advocating savings-based consumption and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly pursuing luxurious expense. And more young people are joining the ranks of "stooping"

5、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you an elementary or high school student with all kinds of invention ideas? You might not know what to do with all of these ideas or how to turn them into workable inventions.
Identify a problem worth solving.
Look at the world around you and ask yourself: What could work better? What task could be done better or faster? What annoys you and how could you fix it? Not every idea will be a great one, but don't be afraid to think outside the box.
Draft your idea.
Draw out a basic illustration of what your invention will look like. List the types of materials you would use to build the finished project. Don't hesitate to make multiple drafts of the same design until you are satisfied with the result.
You don't need to use the highest quality materials, but simply ones that will give you a functional working device. Try checking second-hand stores and yard sales for parts that you can use. This will be much more cost-effective and you will also be eco-friendly.
Build your invention.
If you will be working with power tools or other dangerous materials, you will likely need adult supervision. Ask your parents when they have enough free time to sit down with you and start building.
After everything is completed, it's time to test out and market your invention. If it turns out well-received, you may even have your invention patented and mass- produced down the road.
A. Or turn to your older peers if they can help you out as well.
B. If you enjoy creating things, you may consider becoming an inventor.
C. With some planning and practice, you can make these ideas into a working device.
D. Be creative with your ideas.
E. Gather the necessary materials.
F. Look around your home for recycled materials that you may be able to use.
G. Make notes about how various pieces will go together.

As students return to school this fall, many of them- perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups- will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem.
The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive. One study found that students, on average, lost between 25 - 30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer; additionally, black and Latino students tended to gain less over the school year and lose more over the summer compared to white students.
However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps"do not necessarily... grow fastest over the summer". Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level, or subject.
Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, but also because it"wastes"so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend "re-teaching" last year s content.
Traditionally, educators and policymakers have relied on conventional summer school programs to solve summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway.
(1)、In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to____.A、propose a definition B、make a comparison C、present an issue D、make an argument(2)、According to the studies, what do we know about summer learning loss?A、Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects. B、Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss. C、White students did not lose learning over the summer. D、Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming.(3)、According to the fourth paragraph, schools want to solve the problem because____.A、it may narrow achievement gaps B、it may stop students gaining more knowledge C、it may increase teachers' new teaching content D、it may cause repetitive work for teachers(4)、What does the author think of summer school programs?A、The conventional programs are ineffective. B、More choices should be provided for students.C Students should do more academic tasks.D. The programs are punishment for students.

During the past several years, fake news has been a frequent topic of real news, with articles considering the role of social media in spreading fake news. Something less well-known, though, is that fake news has also become a topic of scientific investigation.
In a paper published in March in the journal Science, David Lazer, Matthew Baum and 14 co-authors consider what we do and don't know about the science of fake news.They define fake news as "made-up information that imitates news in form but not in process or intention".
The paper makes a persuasive case that the investigation of fake news is timely and important. One conservative (保守的) estimate is that in the month before the 2016 election, the average American was exposed to somewhere between one and three articles from a known publisher of fake news. Another alarming result is that when it comes to political topics, tweets containing false information spread more rapidly and broadly on Twitter than those containing reliable information.
Researchers mentioned in the paper that in the face of fake news and its spreading by social and other forms of media, "A new system of safeguards is needed." But what kinds of safeguards can individual news consumers put into place? The simplistic answer is "be more reflective". Don't believe everything you read, but consider the possibility that it's false. We need to foster standards of discussion in which it's OK to challenge what others say without the conversation immediately turning into abuse. The most effective lab meetings are like that: If someone disagrees with the presenter, they say so in a polite way. And by doing so, they might be saving the presenter from embarrassment in a more public forum. A community that encourages individuals to point out when statements are false or unclear benefits everybody by helping detect the truth.
In the long run, the truth will win out. Our preferred society encourages the truth to win out before great damage is done.
(1)、What can we infer from the third paragraph?A、The investigation proved fake news is persuasive. B、The spread of fake news has become an alarming issue. C、The use of social media might help fake news to spread. D、Fake news on political topics received more attention.(2)、What safeguard is suggested to individuals according to the passage?A、Reflecting on what you read. B、Neglecting the false information. C、Challenging what others say. D、Helping others detect the truth.(3)、What is the author's attitude to the future of news?A、Skeptical. B、Unclear. C、Indifferent. D、Optimistic.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A、Do Not Believe in Everything B、The Truth Will Finally Win Out C、The Truth About Fake News D、The Spreading of Fake News -

When you think about it, food is an important part of our lives. Family gatherings center around food and the celebration of major life events and milestones involves food in one way or another. The same holds true for us here on the Space Station. Food is important and ends up usually being a topic of discussion for almost every crew.
The food that we have here on ISS has to meet many different requirements. What about variety? How do you meet all of the peculiarities of the people that you come across, especially when they are from different cultures? What about the logistics(物流)of getting the right food here at the right time? So there are a couple of different questions you have to consider when you talk about food and long-duration space flight.
On the U.S. side we have gone to a standard menu, meaning that every 16 days you start over with the same menu. To compensate the crews, we are allowed to pick one"preference"container which consists of our pick of anything on the U. S. menu list. This allows us some variety in our menu, with the choices up to us. One of the desirable options for any crew is to make sure that enough tortillas(墨西哥玉米粉薄饼) get on board. You can do so much with a tortilla; it becomes the vehicle with which to eat almost anything.
Our food also comes packaged in many ways. But no matter what the form of the food though, you still have the same problem eating it一 you do not want it flying away from you and making a mess when you open it up. In this case a little bit of extra water is extremely helpful. It keeps the food kind of sticking together and to the package and to your spoon. Small things do escape from time to time, but we really try hard to minimize the random flying food problem. That is enough for now! Next time I will write about how to cook in space.
(1)、Where is the text most probably taken from?A、A food magazine. B、An astronaut's journal. C、A sci-fi handbook. D、A space history website.(2)、What does the underlined word "peculiarities" mean in paragraph 2?A、Ambitious targets. B、Similar requests. C、Unusual habits. D、Harsh conditions.(3)、What is the author's purpose in mentioning tortillas?A、To illustrate the preference container. B、To give an example of standard menu. C、To advocate tortillas to the readers. D、To show the variety of food options.(4)、What can be inferred about eating in space?A、Food packaging is optional. B、Sufficient water helps transport food. C、Flying food problem is unavoidable. D、Eating in space is easier than most imagine. -

10、 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事
Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
"Congratulations, son," his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he'd win again.
He's taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. "Mike, we all love ice cream, but it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it's time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.""
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn't perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.

Report reveals CIA behind "Color Revolutions"
Recently, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a report entitled Empire of Hacking: The US Central Intelligence Agency. .
According to statistics, the CIA has intervened (干预) in or attempted to overthrow at least 50 legitimate (合法的) governments and caused unrest in numerous other countries over the years, . Examples of these interventions include the collapse of the socialist camp in the 1980s, the "Velvet Revolution", "Rose Revolution", "Orange Revolution", "Tulip Revolution", and "Snow Revolution" in various countries, and the "Green Revolution" and "Arab Spring". Analyzing these events reveals that the successful organization of such "Color Revolutions" depends on the use of communication and command technologies, in which the US is a leading power.
. This facilitated the technological advances for US intelligence agencies to carry lout "Color Revolutions" abroad. The Internet also played a major role in the "Arab Spring", with certain US-based multinational Internet companies actively intervening in the form of disinformation, support for anti-government actions, and other methods.. Twitter and Google quickly created "Speak2Tweet" to help anti-government personnel in countries like Egypt and Tunisia maintain contact with the outside world. RAND developed "stampede", a system that allowed proprietors to connect to the Internet, resulting in improved on-site command for demonstrations "RIOT", a software that supports independent wireless broadband and anti-jamming Wi-Fi, was also developed to avoid censorship (审查) and surveillance (监视).
The US Department of State also invested more than $ 30 million in the research and development of anti-censorship systems..
A. though it has only admitted to seven
B. The Internet developed rapidly at that time
C. since these countries conducted "Color Revolutions"
D. The US led the promotion of the Internet to the international market in the 1980s
E. That the CIA has been secretly conducting "Color Revolutions" around the world for a long time is reported
F. Therefore, the CIA conducted several "Color Revolutions" worldwide with the help of these tools and technologies
G. These companies also provided encrypted (加密的) network communication services, such as TOR, to avoid censorship and surveillance

For most people, death is hard to think about. We tend to avoid the subject—involuntarily, even. The philosopher Stephen Cave offers one explanation for this avoidance in his 2012 book, Immorality. "Death," he writes, "presents itself as both inevitable and impossible." You can know rationally that you will die, yet struggle to understand your nonexistence. Put another way, you cannot be conscious of your own consciousnesses.
So we dismiss death form our thoughts. But this leads us to make choice in life that actually reduce our happiness. People who express more regrets tend to be those who postpone profound activities that yield meaning, such as appreciating beauty or spending more time with loved ones. When we avoid thoughts of death, we unconsciously assume that tomorrow will look a lot like today, so we can do tomorrow what we could today. But when we focus on death, that increases the stakes at play in the present, and clarifies what we should do with our time.
By forcing ourselves to think about death, our resources-use decisions change. I ask my 20-something graduate students to estimate how many Thanksgivings they realistically have left with their parents, and then to consider how they should spend those remaining occasions. This usually simulates a strong emotional reaction. But it can also alter such decisions as where they choose to live and work. This highlights that facing discomfort and thinking seriously about the impermanence of your mortal life are important for making decisions that enhance your happiness.
There are other benefits. For example, paradoxical though it may seem, considering death can encourage positive thinking, as researchers found in 2007. People prepared to think about their death tended to focus on favorable emotional information around them, and to interpret random words in a pleasanter way. You begin to think extremely clearly, and realize that you have a choice about how to see present moment—and choose the positive.
If you insist ignoring your own death, you are likely to make decisions that cause you to sleepwalk through life. You may not be dead yet, but you are not fully alive either. If you can look across that border with resolve and confidence, you will experience every day fully and deeply.
(1)、What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A、People's fear of death. B、People's escape from death. C、People's acceptance of death. D、People's struggle against death.(2)、What will happen to us if we don't focus on death?A、Enjoying a lot more happiness. B、Taking better advantage of time. C、Postponing big things until tomorrow. D、Engaging in more meaningful activities.(3)、What's the author's purpose in mentioning his graduate students?A、To argue for the changes in making big decisions. B、To show doubts about facing discomfort of death. C、To compare students' different attitudes to death. D、To argue against the necessity of considering death.(4)、What does the author suggest readers do in the passage?A、Avoid thinking about your death. B、Live a better life by ignoring death. C、Step away from death and live better. D、Think about your death and live better. -

We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world's cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?
There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol. Here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.
Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: "The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress cars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range."
Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1,000 inhabitants.
But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future.
(1)、What makes global traffic difficult to be totally electric according to the second paragraph?A、A ban of the UK government. B、Lack of petrol. C、The small number of charging points. D、A low battery quality.(2)、According to Colin Herron, what can we learn?A、Solid-state batteries will allow electric cars to travel farther. B、Electric cars will indeed make for a zero-carbon future. C、Solid-state batteries will be initially employed in electric cars. D、Big progress has been made in laptops and mobile phones.(3)、What does the underlined word "deter" mean in the fourth paragraph?A、Block. B、Suggest. C、Leave. D、Catch.(4)、What will be most probably talked about next?A、The huge potential of electric cars. B、The unfavorable future of electric cars. C、The eagerness for a zero-carbon future. D、The reasons for not achieving a zero-carbon future. -

Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minute but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.
"I saw him gasp (大口嘴气), but the doctor said it was no use," Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to give up easily."
Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
"I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us," Kate told Today. "We'd resigned ourselves the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."
Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his Shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition they then talked to him.
"We were trying to let him stay, " Kate told the Daily Mail. "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and that how hard we had tried to have him."
Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again and then he started breathing. Finally he reached for his father's finger.
The couple's lost boy had made it.
"We're the luckiest people in the world," David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily hardy-held back her tears," Kate said, "and she kept hugging Jamie with great affection. This whole experience makes you cherish them more." "They widened their eyes as if there were an apple in their mouths bearing the miraculous experience," David added.

I love this place. The food, customer service and prices were all great. We ordered the RotiCanai Planta, Rendang Nasilemak with chicken. Vegetable Salad Vietnamese Style, and Uncle Plump's Dumplings The Rendano Nasi Lemak was the highlight of the meal.
My boyfriend forgot to tell them about allergies and told them halfway as they were preparing our order.They responded really well. In the end. we even got to have a nice conversation with the owner of the restaurant. Super great guy! We were pleasantly surprised with the low price at the end of the meal too. If you are in New York, you have to check out LoveMama. Best meal I have had in a while.
——Mary Brooklin
Stopped by here for Valentine's Day and we were not disappointed. We got 3 different dishes all from the Malaysian portion of the menu as none of us had ever had Malaysian food. The service was fast but not supper attentive, which we didn't mind at all. For $20 each with tip and feeling full and happy, this is a spot I'd definitely recommend!
