“Peple think Curtis Bay is a dangerus place. It’s nt. It’s just we’re surrunded by dangerus things,” says Taysia Thmpsn, 17,

This past summer, Taysia and three ther students spent their time gathering evidence t try and get the cal pllutin ut f their neighbrhd. They used sticky paper t gather samples f dust frm all ver the neighbrhd t prve that the dust is frm cal. They are als sending dust samples t a scientist in Califrnia, wh uses an electrn micrscpe t cmpare the dust that’s in this neighbrhd t samples frm the piles f cal at the terminal in Suth Baltimre t see if it matches.
The students nw have supprt frm their cmmunity. But the respnses frm fficials have nt been very satisfying. “Everyne is just breathing the air. And we will keep fighting.” says Taysia.
24．Why d the teens f Free Yur Vice take CSX as an ppnent?

Peple wh have truble walking r mving arund ften have a hard time enjying the beach. But hundreds f beaches in Greece nw ffer a new way fr peple in wheelchairs t get int the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair n a mving ramp （活动梯） that can smthly carry a disabled persn int the sea. Once in the sea, the persn can either remain in the chair, enjying the water, r g fr a swim. The chair is perated by remte cntrl. When the persn is ready t get ut f the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back t the tp f the ramp. It’s even pssible t take a shwer in the Seatrac chair after ging fr a swim.
Seatrac was invented and develped in Greece. The idea fr it came when ne f the inventrs, Ignatis Ftiu, was talking with a friend wh used a wheelchair The friend said he enjyed the sea, but didn’t like having t be carried int the cean as if lie were a “sack f ptates”. Mr. Ftiu realized that there must be a way t make it easier fr wheelchair users t enjy the water. He wrked with his partner and a prfessr at a Greek university t design the system. In time, they frmed a cmpany called TOBEA t build and sell the systems.
The cmpany wrked hard t make the system simple t put in place and easy t run. A wden walkway allws wheelchair users t reach the Seatrac. The system is slar pwered and can cntinue t run even if the electricity ges ut. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stred when swimming seasn ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at ver 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. Thanks t Seatrac, peple wh use wheelchairs nw have the chance t cl dwn with a dip in the sea.
28．Which f the fllwing can best describe Scatrac?
A．Practical and user-friendly.B．Autmatic and life-saving.
C．Flexible and energy-efficient.D．Stylish and smth-running.
29．Why did Mr. Ftiu design Seatrac?
A．He desired t make a prfit frm it.
B．He lnged t frm a wheelchair cmpany.
C．He wanted t help his friend have fun in the sea.
D．He hped t save his friend frm thers’ ridiculing.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A．The advantages f the Seatrac system.B．The success f the TOBEA cmpany.
C．The effrts f the TOBEA cmpany.D．The applicatin f the Seatrac system.
31．What is the main purpse f the passage?
A．T encurage care fr disabled peple.

Lifestyle creep, smetimes called lifestyle inflatin, is when living expenses and nn-essential expenditures grw with incme. In bad cases f lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut int savings.
Lifestyle creep is mst visible amng high earners, but anyne can fall int this trap. Wh hasn’t justified eating ut mre ften every week after receiving a 1 r 2 percent raise? The temptatin f a mre cstly lifestyle is difficult t resist. If yu’re making enugh mney t affrd a larger apartment, shuldn’t yu mve t a larger apartment?
Imprving yur standard f living as yur incme increases isn’t an bjectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts int yur savings effrts, it can be a majr financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Smething’s gt t give.”
Then hw t avid lifestyle creep? It just takes the same mderatin and planning yu used when yu had a smaller incme. If yu can, head ff lifestyle creep frm the beginning by giving yur raise r bnus mney a purpse immediately. This can be t pay dwn debt, save fr a huse, r add t retirement accunts. This way, yu wn’t be tempted t spend it n a nn-necessity. If yu fear yu’ve already fallen victim t lifestyle inflatin at any level, yu can still turn yur spending arund. If yu are putting all yur expenses n yur credit card, Waters recmmends rearranging s nly rutine, fixed mnthly expenses are n the card. “The mnthly variable csts—fd, clthing, persnal care, purchases fr the hme, the list ges n—are where yur mney slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate yur pssible savings each pay perid and put that mney int a separate checking accunt.”
“As with all things, the secret t managing yur finances like an adult is a cnstant strive fr balance,” Waters says. “Have fun alng the way, but dn’t let the tail wag the dg.”
32．What can we learn abut lifestyle creep?
A．It cntributes t a pay raise.
B．It refers t a high living standard,
C．It smetimes affects a persn’s savings.
D．It nly traps peple with a high incme.
33．Why des the authr qute Katie Waters’ wrds in paragraph 3?
A．T list the bad cnsequences f lifestyle creep.
B．T stress the imprtance f giving in ne’s life.
C．T shw that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D．T supprt that lifestyle creep can cause financial prblems.
34．What can be dne t avid lifestyle creep?
A．Put all the expenses n a credit card.
B．Save the bnus mney fr a nn-necessity.
C．Increase the mnthly csts n fd and clthing.
D．Set different checking accunts fr specific purpses.
35．What d the underlined wrds “dn’t let the tail wag the dg” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Dn’t bite the hand that feeds yu.B．Dn’t put the cart befre the hrse.
C．Dn’t d ne thing under the cver f antherD．Dn’t cunt the chicken befre they are hatched.

Getting negative feedback never feels gd. In fact, it pretty much always sucks. Even thugh it feels bad, cnstructive feedback is meant t help us grw and imprve. Here are sme strategies that can help yu use negative feedback cnstructively, leading t psitive change.
36 Yur instinct may be t get upset r justify yurself instantly, but it’s imprtant t remain as prfessinal as pssible in the mment. Even when yur criticizer is factually wrng, the respnse “Yu’re wrng!” wn’t ever be helpful. The key is t listen withut planning yur reply. Simply nd until the ther persn has cmpletely finished.
Recgnize the gd intentins. Remember, the peple wh will give yu tugh feedback are the peple wh really care abut yur success. Peple wh tell yu nly what they knw yu want t hear dn’t really care abut yu. 37
Dn’t let it harm yur cnfidence. Whatever yu d, dn’t allw negative feedback t destry yur self-esteem. 38 Whatever went wrng wn’t define yu frever if yu apply the feedback cnstructively and use it t yur advantage.
Practice self-affirmatin. 39 It can be helpful t remind yurself f ther aspects f yur identity that are nt in questin t bst yur cnfidence. Fr example, yu culd say: “Yes, my team thinks I’m a micrmanager, but I can wrk n that, I am als a nice partner, cmmitted vlunteer and talented singer.’’
Set actinable gals. It can be helpful t break dwn the feedback int specific, actinable gals. 40 Set time t utline an actin plan and timeline fr each f these gals. With this, yu can keep track f yur prgress and hld yurself accuntable t yur gals.
Thugh negative feedback may be disheartening, take the necessary steps t becme an even better versin f yurself.
A．Avid reacting defensively.
B．Dn’t take the feedback persnally.
C．These can feel easier t wrk with and give yu directin.
D．Yu dn’t have t apply every piece f feedback yu receive.
E．Negative feedback can smetimes make yu feel like a failure.
F．It’s almst impssible t cnsistently d everything right all the time.
G．S instead f reacting negatively, thank thse caring abut yu t give yu hnest feedback.

Laynie had her wn watering can s she culd “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran t the fence and started sprinkling water n anther spt. I walked ver and saw a fresh patch f dirt near the fence.
“Did yu plant smething there?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m grwing a pencil. My purple pencil gt t small, s I planted it.”
“What? But, Laynie—”
I shuld have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew ne befre.”
Later I gt what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shuted.
A few days later, Laynie was watering n the same spt. Tw days later, new crayns sticking their pint y little heads ut, thanks t me. Laynie jumped up and dwn and yelled, “They lk like flwers!” She “picked” them and ran int the huse.

One day I saw her patting dwn sme dirt near the fence again, s I knew she’d just planted smething. My heart drpped t my feet when she asked, “Hw lng des it take t grw a gldfish, Brad?” I culdn’t speak.
“Nt lng, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt dwn t whisper “Grw, Mlly. Grw!” befre she skipped back t the huse.
