When I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every now and then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I Waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.

Ail my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day al school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly-on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!

An Ontario teen is making waves by turning old fishing gear(装into new treasures. Since last year, Natalie, 15, has been taking lost or thrown — away fishing nets and rope and transforming them into bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets and necklaces.

Last year, Natalie was working on an assignment for her science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) class. As part of the assignment, she learned about “ghost nets”, which are fishing nets that have been left or lost in the ocean by people who fish.

“They have huge effects on our environment. They can kill coral reefs and many animals ,"  said Natalie. "46 per cent of the Pacific garbage is ghost gear." The Great Pacific Garbage is a huge collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and California.

Natalie told her mom she wanted to do something to help. She got in touch with a handful of charities, including the Sea Protection Society and Coastal Action.

After getting some shipments of ghost nets and rope from those organizations, Natalie, with the help of her family, started turning the discarded gear into new artworks. ‘"We've made bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets, and we've made necklaces, which also use beach glass in them," she said. Natalie then started selling the artworks online, the crafty buying and selling website.

She donated all her profits-minus a small sum of change to cover supplies — to the charities that donated fishing supplies to her. She's also been donating all the income from her non-profit business, called Nautical Waters, to charity. Natalie said she hoped to continue her passion for ocean life, with plans to study marine biology in university.

18. How did Natalie help with ghost nets?

A. By turning them into artworks.

B. By asking support from her mother.

C. By collecting money from charities.

D. By selling ghost nets at a good price.

19. What made Natalie decide to do something with ghost nets?

A. To collect supplies for the artworks.

B. To prepare for her study in university.

C. To protect coral reefs and marine animals.

D. To complete an assignment for her STEM class.

20. What docs the underlined word “discarded" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Polluted, B. Rare. C. Waste. D. Discovered.

21. What is the best title for the text.

A. Ghost Nets Ready for Sale

B. Charities Make a Big Difference

C. Natalie's Passion for Ocean Treasures

D. Teen Turns Old Fishing Nets into Artworks

Some of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say. And climate change may be speeding up its loss. New research reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls. It's a huge loss for human history.

Salt crystals（结晶）building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests. These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall. This process causes the rock to slowly break down.

Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.

In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino （厄尔尼诺）events in the future. These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in the Pacific Ocean.

The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient eave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites. It's merely a small part There are more than 300 known eave art sites around the region. The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.

22. What is the main cause of the rocks breaking off from the wall?

A. Weather patterns. B. Salt crystals.

C. Wet conditions. D. Drought Periods.

23. Which of the following may researchers agree with?

A. El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.

B. Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.

C. Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.

D. Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.

24. Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change?

A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

25 . What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The formation and patterns of salt crystals.

B. The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts,

C. The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.

D. The threats of human activities to ancient eave art sites,
