I work for a big store and today a group of soldiers came into the store on their way to Bridgeport. A customer came to me and said that she wanted to pay for all that the soldiers wanted to buy. All of them! She asked how it could be done so that she could be anonymous (匿名的).
I told her that she could buy a gift card and that I would open up a register and just ring all of them up on one ticket. She agreed and wondered how much of a card to buy, $500 or $600. Looking around and seeing that they were just buying sandwiches and drinks, I thought that was too much. She ended up purchasing one for $300 and said if there was anything left, she would come back in at a later date to pick it up.
I opened a register and announced for all soldiers to come through check stand No. 1. The customer quickly left the store. As the young men and women began to come through with their purchases, they all had their wallets out and I got to tell them that all their purchases had been paid for! I let them know where the generosity came from and they all said thank you and addressed me as, Sir.
As it turned out, that was only a small portion of the military that was about to enter our store. They just kept coming and coming. Other members of our community saw what was going on and that the tab (待付账单)had easily surpassed (超过)the $300 and began handing me money to cover the rest. The total tab ended up well over double what the amazing customer started with her contribution. However, after accepting the rest of the funds from the other generous donations, there was still over $230 left.
I was deeply moved by people ' s love and support for those who serve our country.
24. Why did the customer buy a gift card for just $300?
A.She thought that would be enough. B. She didn't have more money with her.
C.She was not so satisfied with the author.D. She would come back later to pay more.
25. How did the soldiers feel after being told that all their purchases were paid for?

C. Frightened but satisfied. D. Surprised and grateful.
26. Who paid for the rest part of the tab?
A.The soldier who came last. B.Other members of the community.
C.The owner of the store and the author. D.The woman who had bought the gift card.

Wildlife officials in Utah have been stocking their remote mountain lakes by dropping fish from airplanes since 1956. And on Aug. 21, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources( DWR) shared a video of them doing just that. In the video, the small fish erupt from the bottom of an airplane into the water.
It might seem like the fall from the plane would result in a fatal (致命的)end for the fish, but the Utah DWR explained that at least 95 percent of the fish are expected to survive. “ That's because the young fish are so sixiall—only 1 to 3 inches(2.5 to 7.6 centimeters)long一that they fall to the water like leaves,”said Phil Tuttle, the outreach manager for the southern region office of the Utah DWR.
“ Tbe pilot flies just above the tree line to drop the fish, or as low as possible while considering other natural barriers like cliffs and mountains,”Tuttle told Live Science in an email. Years of netting surveys(collecting fish in a net and counting them) and decades of recreational fishing suggest the fish do all right after the drop. Utah DWR staff members have also conducted netting surveys within minutes of a drop to check survival rates.
More than 200 of Utah’s remote mountain lakes are stocked every year using this aerial(航空的)fish-drop method. The lakes are often far from any road and can take a long time to reach by land, which makes land transports more stressful for the fish compared with aerial transports.
Most of the stocked lakes would be fishless, were it not for the DWR’s stocking efforts. The DWR primarily stocks lakes with sterile fish so they can control the population and minimize (减至最小)their impact on native wildlife species. The most common species to make these flights are various species of trout(鲑鱼).
28.What is the possible reason for the high survival rate of the fish?
A.Their thick skin. B. Their small size,
C.Their strong body. D. Their good appetite.
29.How can Utah DWR get to know the survival rates of the fish?
A. By doing netting surveys. B. By counting natural barriers.
By recording the drop height. D. By holding fishing competitions.
30. Why do Wildlife officials in Utah drop fish from airplanes? 5
A. It’s the cheapest way available.
B. The lakes are unreachable by land.
C.It’s better for the fish than land transports.
D. They want to train the fish in a special way.
31. What does the underlined word “sterile” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Fierce and aggressive. B. Unable to produce babies.
C.Completely free from bacteria. D. Energetic and good at jumping.
D
Remember those slow snails you often see on the ground after a rainy day? Well, these animals have made headlines recently with an astonishing discovery by UCLA researchers who were able to transfer(转移)memories from one snail to another!
They experimented with sea snails because they have impressive memory habits and large neurons (神经元)which make them easier to work with. Dr. David Glanzman, who led the experiment, believes that RNA located in our brain cells is responsible for long-term memory. This went against the well-established belief that long-term
memory was stored in the brain’s neuron synapses (突触).
For the experiment, scientists trained certain snails to develop a defensive reaction by contracting (收缩) whenever they were pushed. Originally, the action would last for a few seconds, but by consistently shocking the snails, their
contracting period grew to last a lot longer, up to 50 seconds. Then, they took RNA from brain cells of the trained snails and put them in untrained cells. When these new cells were put back into the untpined snails,these sea snails started exhibiting immediate behaviors that were as if they had been trained to develop long
defensive reactions!
This was shocking as these memories were extremely specific. This showed that RNA transfer might influence our memory by, finishing a memory transfer. David Glanzman believes once we get a deeper insight on how memory functions,it can help us better understand illnesses that are deeply affected by our memories and how we react to past experiences.
However, Glanzman9 s experiment is still highly controversial as many believe that the human brain is )much more complex than those of the snails and that we may not find similar associations such as memory transfer. jThere)f is still much to discover about how our brains function and Glanzman‘s experiment just proves the mystical and interesting possibilities of the brain.
32.Why did the researchers choose sea snails to experiment with?
A. Their memories are stored in neuron synapses.
B. Their RNA is responsible for long-term memory.
C. Their memory is stronger than that of other animals.
D.Their characteristics are suitable for the experiment.
33. Which shows the correct order of the experiment stages?
①Put RNA into untrained brain cells.
②Untrained snails seem to have been trained.
③Trained snails show longer defensive period.
④Take RNA from the brain cells of trained snails.
⑤Certain snails are consistently pushed.
⑥Put cells with trained RNA into untrained snails.
A.②⑤③④⑥① B.②①⑤④⑥③ C.⑤④①③⑥② D.⑤③④①⑥②
34. In what field does David Glanzman think his experiment might be useful?
A.Understanding past experiences.
B.Strengthening children’s
C.Learning about memory-related diseases.
D.Improving other animals’ memory, memory habits.
35. Many people disapprove of the conclusion of the experiment because .
A. the human brain is much more complex
B. some memories can never be transferred
C. human memory has much more information
D. the human brain shouldn’t be used in such experiments

More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture,there are many benefits that a student can get with an exchange program. These benefits include :
1.Diverse academic opportunities. It’ s not actually the travel that students would love to study “abroad. 36 Instead,it will be an offering of diverse opportunities for the student.

37_Studying in another country opens the student to different surroundings, which makes the student know about the country’s customs,people and regions. Knowing other culture also teaches the student how to be open-minded.
Personality development. 38 Thus,the student needs to make decisions on his or her own and suffer the consequences or enjoy the fruits of that decision. With this, the student is taught how real life is, what it means to be responsible, and how being resourceful can help in his or her survival. It’s no wonder that most students who returned after the exchange program were seen with significant improvement on their personal development. 39
So, why not let your child have the benefits of a student exchange program? Exchange programs or study-abroad programs are a great investment for the student. 40 Just imagine, by transforming students in a foreign country, the society is starting

Last weekend,I visit the People ’ s Park with my parents. We were enjoying the fantastic scenery around while I noticed anything unpleasant happening. A young couple were taking some photo on the grass. The man was shouting excitedly,“ How
beautiful! ” They completely forgot what they should bear in mind when travelling or ignored the sign say “ Keep off the grass ”. What shame!
Such behavior left me deep on thought. If all visitors to the People's Park do as the couple did so, the park will be severe damaged and become messy.
