The signs appeared practically overnight．They appeared everywhere．Each featured just a few uplifting words in simple black type：“Don’t Give Up．”“You Are Worthy of Love．”At the high school in Newberg，Oregon，two students killed themselves that year，so the town of 25，000 instantly understood the messages．For days，what no one could figure out was who had planted them．
Amy Wolff had．She felt necessary to address Newberg’s grief．She planted the signs anonymously(匿名)because she wanted them to be about their message，not any one person．
Yet as Wolff saw the deep influence her signs had on her neighbors，she decided to share her message publicly．Instantly，her mailbox was flooded with requests for more signs．She asked a friend，graphic designer Jessica Brittell，to print more．“We decided to just ride it out，just keep going until the orders stop，”says Wolff．
That was in May 2017．Since then，the Don’t Give Up Movement launched by Wolff has spread from Newberg to the hearts and yards of people in every state and several countries．Wolff charges only the cost of materials and shipping．“It’s a terrible business decision if we wanted to function like a business，”she says．
One of the most heartening elements of the Don’t Give Up Movement is that it has gone viral in a remarkably human way．People have taken to planting the signs in their lawns，taking selfies，and then posting them to share．
“It was the best feeling in the world that I could have an impact outside of school by using these products，”says a teacher，in Texas teaching a lesson in unity after his classroom moved online．“This was a good way to let them know that we care even when we can’t see them．”
Wolff's message is about to grow yet again．“But there has never been a more fierce backdrop to the power of hope and sympathetic action than right now，”Wolff shares．
24．What did Amy Wolff do in the neighboring community?
A．She decorated the town in simple black type． B．She urged the town to admire the messages．
C．She persuaded the neighbors to be active． D．She planted signs with uplifting words．
25．Why did Wolff choose to share her message publicly?

26．What did Wolff sacrifice to satisfy consumers’needs?

C．The delivering fees． D．The cost of materials．
27．What can we learn from Wolff's story?
A．Hard work leads to success． B．Love can take us everywhere．
C．Great things are done by mass efforts． D．Love or loving yourself could be wakened．

The start of the U.S. Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer, meteorologists have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes.
While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes — if any — will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities already struggling with the COVID-19.
Experts say that the COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters
Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBM’s Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged with responding to the COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes.
“When we look at a disaster... I think of it in terms of how we prepare for, respond to and recover from those types of events,” Talley said. “Right now we’re in the middle of the response of COVID-19. None of us are really sure how long it’s going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say, two months from now, six months from now, so on and so forth,” he said.
According to Talley, the COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at crucial moments.
Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come.
28. When will the first hurricane possibly arrive in US this summer?
A. In about eight days. B. In about six months.
C. In about two months. D. In more than two weeks.
29. According to Talley, how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane?
A. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane.
B. Rescue materials might not reach disaster areas sometimes.
C. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury.
D. The pandemic makes it harder to predict hurricanes
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home.
B. The state governments are confident about tackling hurricanes.
C. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders.
D. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be Expected. B. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes Coming.
C. COVID-19 to Worsen Hurricane Response. D. Social Distancing Needed in Coming Months.
D
How important is fish farming? Very．Although it's an ancient business，the rise of aquaculture(水产养殖) has been one of the biggest revolutions in food supply over the past half century．
Aquaculture has made fish more affordable for consumers around the world，popularizing the consumption of what used to be expensive，and easing the pressure on hard-pressed wild stocks(库存)．Aquaculture also has many clear environmental benefits：compared with other ways of growing animal protein，it uses little or no land，and has low greenhouse emissions．And while the world has traditionally had a bad record of regulating wild fishing，fish farming generally occurs within the boundaries of governments，meaning it should，in theory，be much easier to ensure that good practices are upheld．
Crowding large numbers of fish into limited spaces means that waste products，including waste，uneaten food and dead fish，are poured into the surrounding waters，polluting them．Besides，the pesticides and drugs used to treat conditions that upset fish in concentrated numbers can also affect local wildlife．Many farmed fish are fed on other fish，so the industry also puts pressure on wild stocks：about a fifth of all caught fish，some 18 million tonnes，is used for fish oil and fishmeal production．There is also the problem of fish escaping，with potentially dangerous effects on surrounding ecosystems．
In 2018 the Scottish Parliament’s environment committee published a report into the fish farming industry’s environmental effects，stating that key problems simply hadn’t been tackled，and that the Scottish government’s plan to double salmon output by 2030 could cause“irrecoverable damage”to ecosystems．Since then，protections have been toughened．There is now more pressure from regulators to situate farms in remote，deep-water locations．Meanwhile，though，catches of Scottish wild salmon have fallen to their lowest level since records began in 1952．“There are good reasons for fish farming and real dangers to it as well．”concludes an official．“The question is how to make it work．”
32．How has fish farming benefited people?
A．It has many clear environmental effects．
B．It can monitor the wild fish in 1imited areas．
C．It makes it easier for more people to consume fish．
D．It’s easier for the government to make fish product．
33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The reasons for fish farming． B．The downsides of aquaculture．
C．The development of sea exploring． D．The effects on surrounding ecosystems．
34．What do we know about fish farming according to the Scottish report?
A．The massive fish farming may damage ecosystems．
B．The problems of fish farming are likely to be solved．
C．The fish farming industry has no effect on environment．
D．The Scottish government plans to double fish output now．
35．What is the writer’s attitude towards aquaculture?
A．Objective． B．Doubtful． C．Critical． D．Disapproving．
