Investment Competition
About the Competition
The Wharton Global High School Investment Competition is a free, online investment simulation（模拟）for high school students（9th to 12th grade）and teachers. Students work in teams of four to seven, guided by a teacher as their advisor（顾问）. Together, they learn about teamwork, communication, risk, companies and industry analysis and many other important aspects of investing.
Teams examine a brief case study featuring a potential client and are tasked with working closely to meet that client's long term investment goals. Equipped with an approved stock list and the Wharton Investment Simulator（WInS）, which allows them to simulate（模拟）stock trading, students develop an investment strategy, analyze sectors and companies, and build a portfolio（投资组合）using $ 100 ,000 in virtual cash provided by WInS over the course of 10 weeks. Winners are selected on the strength of their team strategies, not on the growth of their portfolios.
Results
Final reports are reviewed by a team of judges, who select 50 semi-finalist teams. Those teams are invited to present their strategies to a panel of expert judges at the virtual semifinals. The top 10 teams from the semifinals move on to the final of the competition, the Global Finale, at Wharton in Philadelphia.

For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person's garbage may be another person's treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family's. I'd want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I've visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I've also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized（数字化）it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s—the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words "Wesleyan swimming" on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn't believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite emotional when seeing the items again—most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don't get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago?
A. To discover more stories behind them.
B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To do what he thought was worth doing.
D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape?
A. With the help of the author and his fans.
B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
D. By recalling the past.
26. What's the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again?
A. They feel at a loss. B. They clean them again.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They're filled with strong feelings.
27. What is a rule observed by the author?
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish.
B. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations.
D. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C
Sharing could be giving somebody a gift, helping someone by donating some money, sharing your food with a poor and hungry person. It can simply mean giving some time to help others.
When you receive something from others, it makes you happy. On the other hand, when you give something to others, it makes both you and the receiver happy. From the outside, sharing seems to give away a part of your time, resource or space to others. But when you share something with others, you can get all kinds of positivities inside and outside yourself. It can enhance your mood, reduce your stress level, decrease your blood pressure, and have a long-term effect on your life and longevity（长寿）.
Sharing makes you bigger inside and in your society as well. Take knowledge and love for example, the more you share, the more you get. If you make sharing a part of your life and practice it in your daily life, you will get more out of your life directly or indirectly, like help, support, love, cooperation, and a lot more from others even at a time when you are not expecting it. This is why it makes you bigger and happier when you share something with others.
We are living in a global village where each one of us is related to each other in some way or other. When you volunteer, you give away your time or wealth or knowledge to a person or a group of people. You will realize that you are not alone in the big world. As a result, you won't feel left out in your society. Sharing advances cooperation and social connection. To live harmoniously, we should learn and practice sharing our life with others. Sharing could be one of the ways to build an ideal society.
So, what are you waiting for? Start giving a part of yourself to others and see how your life becomes more beautiful, positive, lovely and satisfying. Giving makes you better, bigger, and brighter inside you, in your society, and even in the entire global village.
28. What can be learned about sharing from paragraph 2?
A. It only benefits the receivers.
B. It takes a lot of time and energy.
C. It has nothing to do with emotion.
D. It is good for physical and mental health.
29. Why does the author mention knowledge and love in paragraph 3?

Elephants can no longer maintain themselves with the small amounts of food they find in forest areas and parks. They come into the fields abutting their nature reserves and eat the crops. Dozens of elephants are getting wiped out by farmers every year. One solution that has been proposed is electric fencing but that is extremely expensive and the electricity itself can kill the elephant and every other animal. A much better idea has been put forward.
Elephants are frightened of bees, Bees enter and attack their sensitive trunks inside, causing a pain that elephants never forget. Generations of elephants have learned to associate bees with pain and they even run away when they hear the sound of the bees. Beehive fences were invented in 2002 when scientists from the Save the Elephants discovered that elephants avoided trees with beehives. University of Oxford zoologist Lucy King designed the fence and it was tried out in 2008 in Kenya.
Supported by Save the Elephants, University of Oxford, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, scientific studies concerning the theme by Lucy King have led to the establishment of a project called The Elephants and Bees Project, which teaches farmers how to build beehive fencing near fields to prevent elephants entering. More than ten African countries have now followed suit.
The bees pollinate（授粉）farmers' crops and the nearby plants, providing an ecological and economic boost to the surrounding area. Elephants perform essential services like digging waterholes in dry river beds, spreading hundreds of fruit tree species with their dung which also feeds dozens of insects and small animal species, and making forest paths that act as firebreaks.
And even more exciting, the raw honey is sold by the farmers to markets all over the world. Beehive fences are the first fences that have been invented to make the farmers more money than what it costs to maintain the fence.
Elephants could bring in a lot of eco-tourism money. Every year, Africa has calculated that each elephant brings in nearly $ 23,000 in tourism.
All this helps the ecology of the region and the additional income of beehives gives farmers even more motive to keep the elephants alive.
32. What does the underlined word abutting" in paragraph 1mean?
A. Different from. B. Next to.
C. Similar to. D. Far from.
33. How did scientists come up with the idea for beehive fences?
A. By observation. B. From experts.
C. From books. D. By experiments.
34. What is the author's attitude towards beehive fences?
A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. The bees and the function of the elephants
B. Measures to save elephants from extinction
C. An advantageous solution to save elephants
D. The history of an organization to save elephants

Life is full of surprises. You never know what's going to happen from one day to the next. 36 It can also be anxious. When something happens that you didn't expect, it throws your whole world off balance. This can lead to negative feelings.
One way to fight against these negative feelings is through optimism, 37 Optimism is a mental attitude that sees new things as opportunities, transitions as improvements, and challenges as learning experiences.
38 This gives you more power over your life and what happens to it, which can help prevent anxiety and depression. This can also help improve physical health in turn over time.
When something bad happens, optimists are less likely than pessimists to blame themselves or others for what happened. They don't consider these negative emotions. They are able to see things from a positive perspective, even when something doesn't go as planned. 39
So it's important to face bad things bravely and keep a positive mind. Of course, it's important to remember that optimism can't put a stop to all bad things. 40 But if you can manage to focus more on the good than the bad, you'll be less anxious and be well on your way to a happier and healthier life.
A. It can be exciting.
B. It can be a positive attitude to difficulty.
C. Too much optimism can also be harmful.
D. Optimism is a positive attitude toward the future in general.
E. This kind of thinking can help lower stress and improve mental health.
F. When you are optimistic, you're also more likely to control the situation.
G. No matter how positive you are, there'll be times when bad things happen.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Rakesh. He had purchased a farm in a village. One year, it happened that it rained very little in the village. There was no river nearby either. So, the farmer was worried how he would get water for his crops.
Incidentally, there was a well near his farm which had water. However, the well belonged to another farmer named Raghu. So, Rakesh persuaded Raghu to sell him the well so that he could apply the water for his crops. Raghu was a very greedy farmer. He said to Rakesh. "Sure, I will sell you the well. But once sold, I will not take it back. Anyway, it is of no use to me. So you can have it, "Then the well was sold to Rakesh.
The next day, Rakesh went to the farm and decided to take out the water from the well. However, to his surprise, Raghu was present there and stopped him from taking any water from the well. He said, "I have sold you only the well and not the water in it. If you want the water, then you will have to pay more for it!" On hearing this, Rakesh tried to reason with Raghu, but to no end.
Feeling cheated and trapped, finally, Rakesh decided to approach the local authority for a solution to this matter. When hearing Rakesh's story, the officer Birbal said he would help to solve the problem and get him justice from Raghu.
The next day, Birbal came to the well along with Rakesh. He told Rakesh to draw water from the well. Then Raghu appeared and stopped them from taking the water from the well. Raghu said, "I have sold only the well to Rakesh, not the water in it. If he wants to use the water, then he has to pay extra for it." Everyone fell in silence. Birbal thought for a while and came forward.

W: I'd like to talk about this watch. It's quite old, nearly sixty years old. It has a leather black band. The face of the watch is white and it's square.
M: Why is this watch special, Helen?
W: It's my grandfather's watch.
M: I want to hear the story about it.
W: He came to England more than fifty years ago and this is the watch he was wearing when he arrived here. When he came over here, he didn't have much—just a few pounds in his pocket. But this watch was a present to him from his grandfather, his twenty first birthday present, so it was really special to him and now it's special to me.
M: Is it very valuable? I mean, I know you don't want to sell it but is it worth a lot of money?
W: No, not at all. It doesn't even tell the right time! It's just an ordinary watch but it's special to me because it really reminds me of my grandfather.
M: Is your grandfather still alive?
W: No, he isn't. He died 2 years ago.
M: So he left the watch to you in his will.
W: Yes, it will stay with me all my life.

M: Hello, teachers and students! Now I have an important announcement to make. There are a few changes that have been made to the visit. So, please pay full attention to what I'm saying next. We still have been arranged to pay a visit to the local museum this weekend, but this time it's on Saturday not on Sunday. We are informed that the museum won't open this Sunday due to some special reasons. And we are going to meet on the playground instead of the school gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. We will go directly there by bus. You'd better wear comfortable shoes for long walks in the museum. Please bring a notebook with you and make some notes. We will have a discussion about it in the class meeting next Monday. Oh, I nearly forget to remind you of the rules. Don't take pictures of the cultural relics. But if you do want to take a picture, you can do that in front of the museum. And nobody is allowed to touch anything there, or else they will be fined. Have a nice weekend!

Dear James,
I'm delighted to tell you that I'll take part in a summer camp. However, there will be an interview next week, which makes me worried. I am wondering if you could tell me some interview skills. As you know, my spoken English is not good. It makes the communication difficult with native speakers. I think the question is that I am always flooded with a sense of nervousness when talking. So I'm extremely afraid to fail now. I hope to pass the interview successfully and there is an opportunity to make more friends and know about the local culture.
I'm looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
Birbal said, "If the water is yours, please empty the well of your water." He continued, "Since the well belongs to Rakesh now, he wants it without any water in it. Please empty it as soon as possible!" Raghu was even given exactly three days to remove all the water and required to return Rakesh a completely empty well. If Raghu were unable to do that, he would have to pay a heavy fine and even be put in prison for his behavior as well.
Hearing that, Raghu was scared. He knew well that it was impossible to remove all water from a well, because water keeps coming into the well from underground water bodies. Raghu realized that it was he that had been trapped this time. He took defeat and was forced to promise not to stop Rakesh from taking water from the well. To set an example for others not to think of cheating and trapping others, Birbal pronounced a small fine for Raghu. Since that day, Raghu has never cheated anyone else.
