The man asked if she had an old mobile phone his children could use to get on the Internet. does not matter if it is an ugly one, as long as my children can use it for learning at home, he said. Then Ghaliya thought there must be many people who need second-hand mobile phones.Shortly after the pandemic hit Jakarta, she and 11 other journalists organized a group to provide food and money for needy people. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to study online but lacked a way to connect to the Internet. Thinking of her meeting with the garbage collector, Ghaliya and her group decided to offer mobile phones to poor students.Many of these children were not able to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July.

He has discovered 39 landmines and 28 pieces of unexploded ones, and helped clear more than 1.5 million square feet of land over the past four years.Over 5 million landmines have been laid in Cambodia during the civil war in the 1980s and 1990s. In Cambodia, over 19,000 people have been killed by landmines. Another 51,000 have been injured.Magawa is part of the “Hero Rat project, which works across South East Asia and Africa, training rats to save lives by detecting landmines. Magawa started its training at the age of 10 weeks.He was trained to detect TNT, the chemical compound within explosives（炸药）.The ability to sniff （嗅） out TNT makes him much faster than any person in searching for land mines.According to Christophe Cox, co founder and CEO of APPO, a charity that trains the rats, the creatures can screen an area of 200 square meters in half an hour. We really trust our rats. Very often after clearing a minefield, our teams will play a game of soccer on the cleared field to assure the quality of our work. So far our trainers have never had any accidents with rats because their size and weight permits them to walk across mine fields. They also work much faster than people.Described as friendly and hardworking by Malen, a Belgian trainer, Magawa has a work-life balance that is likely the envy of many a human. When he is not in the minefield, the 2-fbot-long rat likes snacking on bananas, peanuts and watermelons, and taking a spin on the running wheel.28. What is the purpose of the “Hero Rat project?A.

To find a way to celebrate success.30. What can we infer about Magawa?A. He is trained at a Belgium training base.B. He takes no risk of setting off landmines.C. He often searches for food when he is at work.D. He brings attention to the problem of landmines.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Sufferings caused by landmines.B. Hero Rat project set up to train rats.C. A rat awarded for life-saving work.D. Good ways to deal with landmines.DHow often do you have a conversation with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you cant remember what he said? Or, perhaps you get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. In todays busy world, modem life is full of distractions: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on, which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? Jon kabat-zinn, professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, put forward the idea of mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.When we listen mindfully, we can be aware of some barriers but still remain open to the speakers ideas and messages. Mindfulness encourages us to be aware of the present moment, let go of distractions and ignore physical and emotional reactions to what people say to us.But how can we apply mindful listening to our life? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. Then develop empathy. We often see the world through our own experiences. When were empathetic, we can understand a situation from someone elses point of view. At last, listen to our own “cues. Our cues arc the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can block out ideas and perspectives that were uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues, and allow us to choose not to let them block communication.The rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and dont let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.32. Whats the function of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To make a conclusion.C. To criticize the distractions.D. To describe daily situations.33. What is one of the advantages of mindful listening?A. Making a judgment correctly.B. Sharing messages with the speaker.C. Stopping peoples running thoughts.D. Making sure of feeling understood.34. What does the underlined word empathy in paragraph 5 refer to?A. The feeling of trusting others.B. The ability to understand others.C. The attitude of caring about others.D. The behavior of listening to others.35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Applications of Mindful Listening.B. Key Elements of Mindful Listening.C. A Research on Mindful Listening. D. An Introduction of Mindful Listening.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For students of all ages, final exams can cause anxiety.
