One devoted man is helping to make sure that children with poor living conditions won’t go hungry during the school day.
Mary’s Meals, an organization founded in 2002 by Scottish farmer Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, provides needy kids in 12 countries with free meals at school each weekday. The group’s aim is to ensure that students have food in their stomachs so they can better fix their attention on the study in class.
MacFarlane-Barrow, who runs Mary’s Meals on his father’s farm, told CNN that the entire operation started with a conversation he had with a teen living in a poor state. He said, “In 2002, I was in Malawi during a year of terribly short of food, and I met this family—the father had died, and the mother was dying with her six children around her. I began talking to her oldest child, Edward, who was about 14, and asked him, ‘What are your hopes?’ And he said, ‘I’d like to have enough
food to eat, and I’d like to go to school one day’ ”And that was it.
In its first year, the group fed 200 children in need. Since that time, it has made rapid progress. Last month, Mary’s Meals fed more than I million children every school day. That was 5 million meals every week. “The million is this amazingly important, but we are far from satisfied. Our work’s just beginning. We’ve proven that this works, and now we’ve just thinking about the next child,” said MacFarlane-Barrow.
He and the group recently celebrated the achievement (成就) in Malawi, where the program began. So far, the program has had very good results. In Malawi, schools that carried out the Mary’s Meals program saw a 24 percent increase in the number of new students within the first six months.
24. Why did MacFarlane-Barrow found Mary’s Meals?
A. He hoped to provide free food for poor families.
B. He expected to teach children how to help others.
C. He wanted to make children free of hunger in class.
D. He wished to become well-known by helping others.
25. What made MacFarlane-Barrow have the idea to start Mary’s Meals?
A. I he conversation with a poor child.
B. The terribly short of food in Malawi.
C. The poor living conditions of schools.
D. The success of helping a needy kid.
26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Schools in Malawi are popular.
B. No children suffer from hunger now.
C. Mary’s Meals program has been very successful.
D. MacFarlane-Barrow is satisfied with the present result.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Edward’s Dream Came into Reality
B. Mary’s Meals Program Shocked the World
C. Malawi Gets Away from Being Short of Food
D. A Farmer Feeds I Million Kids Every School Day
C
Last year I realized I hadn’t spoken to anyone but my family members in days.
When I left my job in my late twenties to write a novel, I felt very happy. No more forcing myself awake at the early hours of the morning and worrying what to wear, no more braving the subway during rush hour. I could wake up when I felt like it and enjoy my coffee as I worked on my book.
At first it was like being in heaven. But months later I began to feel lonely. It was just me, my work, and the Internet. I spent hours looking through the website instead of writing. I thought I was still connected to everyone around me but in fact I was more lonely than ever. As a result, I became more afraid of being out in the world. I warned to step away from the lonely life I had brought to myself and have a normal schedule again. I considered renting an office but I realized I would still be lonely. What I had in mind something Td had all those years ago—big shared table filled with people I really liked.
I phoned a friend who worked at home too and asked if she would be interested in getting an office together. She’d been feeling just as lonely as I had, so she jumped at opportunity. I asked another friend to join us, and together we found a beautiful space in my favorite part of town. Others soon heard about our office and asked if they could join. There are nine of us here now. Each of us has found that we now love the routine (日常规律) of going to work again, and we are happier than before. Now, we tire needed by other people too.
In my twenties, it felt like I was going to work every day with my best friends, and for the first time in years, I feel that way again. The loneliness has gone—I finally feel like I belong again.

I really did not know much about e-waste until this passing of Earth Day. I feel pity because I am actually skilled in the technology field. While I appreciate all the ways that technology has made our lives better, it comes at an environment cost.
Electronic waste, also known as “e-waste”, is the term used to describe the rapidly I wing stream of waste from useless electronics. These items include anything from computers, TVs and phones to washing machines and refrigerators. Most of these electronics are often not rubbish, but simply given up for the latest version (版本) on the market.
Findings show that we produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste all over the world in 2014. Even more surprisingly, it is believed that less than one-sixth is properly recycled or reused. While the bad influence of e-waste is big and growing, most people probably don’t realize its reach. The lack (缺乏) of proper recycling leads to harmful materials going into the environment. Harmful materials cause all sorts of health problems.
Maybe the worst part of this problem is that most e-waste from developed countries is exported (出口) to developing countries, which is picked over by locals who want to mine useful materials from it. The improper recovery methods are often performed by local women and children. Many survive on mining these products, but with poor practices and regulations, it comes at a much higher cost—the health of the planet and its people.
32. What does the author possibly do?
A. A new reporter. B. A law student.
C. A technical engineer. D. An environment professor.
33. E-waste refers to electronic products that _________.
A. are out of date B. are actually rubbish.
C. fail to be used again D. sell badly on the market.
34. According to the text, how does the public see e-waster?
A. They try to avoid it. B. They think nothing of it.
C. They try to make use of it. D. They make lots of research on it.
55. Why do some developing countries bring in e-waste?
A. To earn money. B. To study it carefully.
C. To get it reused properly. D. To help take it apart.

How do you write a short story? This is a difficult question to answer. _36_ Still, if you want to write a short story, here are four steps to help you get Started:
Ⅰ. Read Short Stories.
Real writers read, and as Stephen King said. “If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have time to read, you don’t have time to write.” _37_ Even if you’ve read hundreds of stories, studying one or two closely will help improve your understanding of the short story form.
2. Write Your Short Story.
Some guides suggest focusing on writing an attractive first paragraph first, but while that’s important, it puts a lot of pressure (压力) on you when you’re first getting started writing your short story. Instead, just write. Just put pen to paper. _38_ It’s not important. You just need to get your short story started.
3. Rewrite and correct.
All good writing is rewriting. After you write your story for the first time, you need to start cutting, rewriting, and correcting your short story. _39_ And it can feel like walking through a low wet grassy land or climbing through a very tight cave. However, don’t give up now. You’re almost there.
4. Submit (提交)!
Before you submit your .short story, make sure you’ve read it aloud several times to find any grammatical mistakes. Then, look through several literary magazines in your style and read their submission instructions (说明) to know if your short story will be a good fit.
_40_ Don’t over think ii. Just do it. It will be hard to lei go of your short story, but you can t get
it published if you don’t submit it.
A. Don’t worry about what comes out.
B. Get some suggestions from other writers.
C. This is the hardest part of writing a short story.
D. There are so many types of short stories.
E. Finally, it’s time to send your baby out into the world.
F. If you want to be a writer, you should consider writing short stories.
G. If you’ve never read a short Story, you’re going to have a difficult time writing one.

It was 12 years ago. After finishing shopping, we walked out to our _45_, but we found that all the _46_ had been taken from our cassette box. I _47_ when I thought of some young boys thinking they had stolen some _48_ music, only to open the _49_ and find my collection of old songs instead.
I tried to share my humor about the _50_ with a few friends but had to stop. They all expected me to be angry about it. They just couldn’t understand my _51_ about the theft (偷盗). I, _52_, remembered an old saying, “If someone hands you a _53_, it is wise to drop it fast.”
Those who _54_ us don’t want us to carry those snakes around with us. They want us to _55_ them and move on, to let go and to _56_. They want us to go through life _57_ with laughter on our lips. Next time someone hands you something _58_, don’t hold it close. Drop it fast. _59_, you can spend your day happily with your love, watching the sun _60_ down on the leaves, and letting your spirit sing.
