The 10-year-old boy tried looking for a road to flag down a driver. But the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father taught him. As night fell and temperatures dipped into the 30s, Malachi wrapped his T-shirt around his legs. He huddled(蜷缩)in his jacket to protect himself from the weather between the rocks. The remaining warmth helped him get through the night. Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the rough and remote country area, he found river water to drink. And he even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick. Meanwhile, dozens of search-and-rescue workers were combing the area but they could not find Malachi in the wooded landscape. Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning. They hoped the boy might wander back on his own. The next day, Malachi heard a helicopter flying overhead. He knew the searchers aboard the craft could not see him through the trees. So he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air. A helicopter landed to pick him up on Aug.24. Medical staff said he was cold and hungry but safe and sound. Malachi said he would go camping again. But next time he will never go away from other people. “I will learn from my mistakes,” he said.24. What did Malachi manage to do to survive?A. Find a road to stop a passing car.B. Catch fish with a spear.C. Stay between rocks at night.D. Build a shelter on his own.25. How was Malachi Bradley when he was found by the searchers?A. injuredB. unconsciousC. fineD. dead26. Why could the plane spot Malachi?A. Because he kept a fire burning to draw attention.B. Because he stayed in an area with no trees.C. Because he waved and shouted fiercely.D. Because the plane flew low enough to see everything.27. What lesson does Malachi learn from the experience?A. Learn survival skills before camping.B. Be brave when in danger.C. Believe in yourself at any time.D. Stay close to others when camping.C Children who spend more time outdoor may have a lower risk of becoming near-sighted, new research suggests. In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren in China. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop near-sightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become near-sighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors. In the study, the researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage(使参加) their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become near-sighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the control group, the researchers found. The reduction in the risk of near-sightedness found in the study is important, because children who develop near-sightedness at a young age are most likely to develop worse myopia (the medical term for near-sightedness) later on, the researchers said.It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit childrens eyesight. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine from the retina(视网膜) of the eye, which is beneficial to eyesight. In turn, dopamine is known to inhibit the type of growth in the eye that is associated with myopia.Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, its important to protect kids skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.28. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should engage children in outdoor activities.B. Kids who often play outside may have better eyesight.C. Kids are unlikely to gain weight if they usually play outdoors.D. Recently researchers have discovered a cure to near-sightedness.29. How many schools are involved in the study in total?A. 3B. 6C. 9D. 1230. The underlined word “inhibit” in the last but one paragraph means_.A. preventB. causeC. encourageD. preserve31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. About 1,900 seven-year-old schoolchildren have participated in the study.B. Parents of the children in the control group were also involved in the study.C. When playing outside, children should protect their skin and eyes from the sun.D. Based on the results, scientists found out why staying outside benefits eyesight. D Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of whats been called the “sharing economy”. Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings. It seems to have cornered the market! A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustParks founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says, “When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than a commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele(顾客): around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site, and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar things, like Uber and Lyft these let drivers share their cars with other passengers. Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is. A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over 200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers! Because this is a new business world, those rules arent there yet and many people are happy to share as long as it pays! But the sharing company has its critics: the competitors of these new companies. People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?32. What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A. Lacking in moneyB. Full of curiosityC. Willing to help othersD. Unsatisfied with their lives33. Who may be against the sharing economy?A. A taxi driver who cant find a parking place.B. A priest in the church near Kings CrossC. A traveler who needs accommodation.D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel.34. Why are many people pleased to share according to the passage?A. Because they can gain huge profits.B. Because therere few rules to limit them.C. Because they neednt pay any fee.D. Because the new business has no risks.35. Which of the following words can best describe the booming sharing economy?A. Creative and developedB. Competitive but unpracticalC. Effective but worryingD.

You can still work hard for greatness, but put the work in and then let go. You cant accomplish great things without taking great risks. 37 People who truly change the world are the biggest risk takers. They put everything in risk and fail in something they believe in. And they treat each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better. 38 In life, theres no shortage of doubters, haters and pessimists. Overcoming this cruel truth is simple: dont listen. Choose to stand by yourself, trust your instincts(本能), and forget about people who dont support your goals and passions. Death is a part of life. 39 However, theres something you can do to make losing someone
