How can kids become heroes? Do they have to save the world? No. To become a hero, kids just have to think about what others need and find a way to help. Katie Stagliano is one of those hero kids.
Katie loved to garden. When she was 9, she harvested a huge cabbage which weighed 40 pounds. The cabbage was far bigger than what her family needed, so she thought about what to do with it.
She knew that there were lots of hungry people in South California, where she lived. So she decided to donate her enormous cabbage to a soup kitchen. It turned out that her kind donation helped feed more than 275 people.
Then Katie thought about other gardeners who had more vegetables than they could eat. Suddenly, she saw a way to solve both problems. Katie realized that she could help fight against hunger by encouraging kids to plant vegetable gardens and donate their harvest to hungry people. That’s how Katie’s Krops was born.
Katie says, "My dream is that there are no hungry people." To make that dream come true, Katie got her whole school involved. The students planted a huge garden, but Katie knew she could do more. She contacted an organization called Fields to Families, which sent a master gardener to help.
"It’s so great to help people," Katie adds, but kids don’t have to grow huge cabbages. If they could grow "even one vegetable plant and donate the harvest to a local soup kitchen, we could make a huge difference in the fight against hunger".
It’s been several years since Katie Stagliano started work on her dream. Today, more than 60 gardens around the United States are being grown by kids. Young gardeners have donated tens of thousands of pounds of fresh vegetables to stop hunger.
Sadly, many people are still hungry. However, Katie’s Krops and hundreds of child gardeners are planting and harvesting to change that.
24. What did Katie Stagliano want to do?
A. She wanted to be a hero. B. She wanted to grow a huge cabbage.
C. She wanted to help those hungry people. D. She wanted to encourage kids to donate vegetables.
25. What made Katie start to help hungry people?
A. Her harvest of a big cabbage. B. Her duty to help the poor.
C. Her interest in planting vegetables. D. Her desire to become a hero.
26. What did Katie do to realise her dream?
A. She planted a huge garden. B. She asked an organization for help.
C. She donated her harvest to her school. D. She encouraged all the citizens to work with her.
27. What is the best title of this text?
A. A Hero Kid B. The Harvest Donation
C. Child Gardeners D. Katie Stagliano’s Dream
C
It may be the decoration color of the moment, but painting your bedroom wall grey could actually keep you awake.
Grey isn’t the only color you should avoid if you’re reaching for a paintbrush. "Reds, browns and purples can all delay a peaceful night’s sleep," says Natalie Armstrong, a sleep expert at mattress company Sealy.
She says, "While your room is dark when you go to sleep, many of us spend an hour or more in our bedrooms with the light on before going to sleep, which is the color of your bedroom can be so disruptive(制造混乱的).
"Colors that are too bright can put your brain into a state of high alert, which can last long after you’ve turned the light off and can no longer see the color."
"Grey, white gentle, is also quite suppressive(压抑的). The absence of any strong color has a depressive effect on the brain because it is a color typically used to represent sadness. While the current trend for grey is trying to change this, the deep rooted associations of grey as a dull color can make it a bad choice for bedroom decoration."
The real color champion when it comes to good sleep is blue, which is easily picked up by ganglion(神经节)cells in the retinas(视网膜)of your eyes. The cells then send a message direct to your brain that you’re in a calm environment.
And while the phrase "tidy house, tidy mind" might be ordinarily used in the daytime, it can be just as relevant at night-time.
If you' re t trying to sleep in a room that's heavy on clutter(凌乱的东西), you can carry that unsettled feeling into your subconscious when trying to fall into sleep, says Armstrong.
28. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. The color of the bedroom walls affects sleep.
B. Dark colours can delay a peaceful night’s sleep.
C. The decoration of the room plays an important role.
D. Grey isn’t a suitable colour for bedroom decoration.
29. What can we infer from Natalie Armstrong’s words?
A. Grey is a dull colour. B. Blue represents sadness.
C. Purple does good to our sleep. D. Red can make people excited.
30. Why is a tidy room beneficial to sleep?
A. Because it upsets people. B. Because people don’t care.
C. Because it makes people feel stable. D. Because people are fond of clean environment.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A medical book. B. A health magazine.
C. A science report. D. An advertisement brochure.
D
Toilet Paper Obsession
Everyone gets anxious when the world takes an uncertain turn. And often, we treat that anxiety with a little panic buying.
A study published last year in the Journal of Consumer Research found that people buy things in troubled times as a means of enerting control over their lives. The researchers noted that utility(实用)items-specifically, cleaning products-tend to move most quickly from store shelves.
The hoarding(囤积)of toilet paper, as perhaps the most fundamental cleaning product, may represent our most fundamental fears. An invisible enemy stalks(潜近)us. We need to hold on to something in uncertain times. Maybe a stockpile of toilet paper brings assurances.
The thing is, it’s not actually going anywhere. For all the sharp words and even sharper elbows thrown around by toilet paper marauders(掠夺者), they seem to be missing one important fact: There is no toilet paper shortage.
As The New York Times points out, retailers that see their shelves emptied often restock them in a day, often in just a few hours.
"You are not using more of it. You are just filling up your closet with it," Jeff Anderson, president of paper product manufacturer Precision Paper Converters, tells the Times.
The thing is, the toilet paper-obsessed shoppers have been infected with something many times more contagious(感染性的)than any coronavirus: fear.
"People are social creatures. We look to each other for signals for what is safe and what is dangerous," Steven Taylor, a clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, tells Fox News. "And when you see someone in the store panic-buying, that can cause a fear-contagion effect. People become anxious ahead of the actual infection. They haven’t thought about the bigger picture, like what are the consequences of stockpiling toilet paper."
32. What is the study mainly about?
A. Troubled times. B. Rush purchase. C. Consumer demand. D. Cleaning products.
33. What does the underlined word "enemy" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A sense of safety. B. A kind of virus.
C. A feeling of anxiety. D. A stock of toilet paper.
34. Why do people reserve toilet paper?
A. Because of great need. B. Because of coronavirus.
C. Because there is no toilet paper in stock. D. Because people are easily infectious.
35. What’s the attitude of Steven Taylor toward toilet paper obsession?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.

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。
First-Aid to Stop Nosebleeds
Nosebleeds occur when the inner lining of one’s nose is hurt or dry. Although a nosebleed may be frightening, most conditions that cause nosebleeds are not serious or life threatening. 36
Position your body. To begin, sit down, since it is more comfortable than standing. Tilt(倾斜) head forward so that the blood drains(流出)through the nostrils. 37 A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood. Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat.
Press the nose. Use your thumb and index finger to hold your nostrils for 5 to 10 minutes while you breathe through your mouth. This puts pressure on the part of your nose that’s bleeding and can make the blood stop flowing. 38
Cool yourself down. Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose. To do this, place ice cubes in your mouth. This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose. 39 This is more effective than placing a cold compress(冷敷布)over the nose. You can also suck on a popsicle(冰棍)to achieve the same result.
40 After bleeding has stopped, you can clean the area around your nose with warm water. After you have cleaned your face, you should rest for a while. This is to help to prevent further bleeding.
A. Be gentle on your nose.
B. Wash your nose and rest.
C. Keep your head above your heart.
D. It also helps you keep the lower temperature for longer.
E. You should see a doctor if you do not have a serious issue.
F. If bleeding continues, reapply pressure for another 10 mi
