Ausie Perine is nt a typical superher. Well, maybe he lks the part, with his signature cape (斗篷) flapping against his blue shirt. But tw things set this caped fighter apart: His enemy is nt an imaginary ne frm a cmic bk but hunger and hmelessness. Als, he’s nly fur years ld.
Our her’s stry started in the family living rm. Ausie and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a prgram n Animal Planet abut a mther tiger leaving her cubs. “I tld him that the cubs wuld be hmeless,” TJ says. “Ausie didn’t knw what hmelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted t knw mre.”
Seeing this as a teachable mment, TJ tk Ausie t a lcal shelter, where they saw sme hmeless men. “Dad, they lk sad,” Ausie said. “Can we take them sme fd and smiles?” That day, Ausie used his allwance t buy each man a sandwich. When they returned the next week, Ausie again dipped int his piggy bank t buy sandwiches, which he handed ut alng with his new catchphrase, “Dn’t frget lve!”
Days later, wrd f Ausie’s acts f kindness spread thrugh scial media. A lcal fd chain jumped abard, agreeing t dnate $10,000 tward the cause. Sn, dnatins pured in cntinuusly. Thanks t the cllective supprt, nw he can feed abut 800 peple at nce.
But Ausie isn’t just filling bellies. He’s imprving the lives f thse he meets. In the shelter, Ausie talked t a man named Raymnt with respect, which tuched him deeply. He shared with TJ just hw grateful he was t be treated s cnsiderately by a yung stranger. With the help f TJ, Raymnt btained a driver’s license, with which he fund a jb. All that was made pssible because a little by tk the time t care.
Ausie’s passin has nw becme his family’s calling. They established the Shw Lve Fundatin, a nnprfit dedicated t ffering medical and mental health care as preventive steps against hmelessness. Yung Ausie cntinues t give ut fd, smiles, and his inspiratinal message f lve. “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”

It is a truth universally acknwledged that statues f public figures are hated by everyne, except perhaps their creatrs and, hpefully, their subjects, if they’re still alive t see them. Jane Austen—the authr f Pride and Prejudice—will f curse nt be arund when, r if, the statue in memry f her 250th birthday is built at Winchester Cathedral next year, but accrding t Jane Austen Sciety vice president Elizabeth Prudman, the authr wuld nt have apprved f the prpsal anyway. “She is knwn t have been a mdest wman wh avided publicity.”
Similar views were aired at a public meeting last week, in which lcal residents raised cncerns that an Austen statue wuld lead t the “Disneyficatin” f the sacred Cathedral. It is n disrespect t the statue’s creatr — Martin Jennings t say that it’s difficult t imagine crwds f parents being wken up n the first day f the summer hlidays by their screaming six-year-lds begging t be driven dwn the Cathedral t catch a glimpse f Austen in the brnze.
Winchester’s is nt the first wrangling ver a celebrity sculpture in recent years: when the sculpture f Mary Wllstnecraft, the greatest feminist thinker f the 18th century, was n shw, it was laughed at as a tiny misshapen wman. The bust (半身像) f ftballing Cristian Rnald was revealed at Madeira airprt in 2017, which sme cmmentatrs bserved lked mre like the frmer F1 star David Culthard. T his credit, the bust’s creatr, Emanuel Sants, defended himself admirably, saying “Even Jesus did nt please everyne.”
When Auguste Rdin’s greish (妖魔似的) Mnument t Balzac went n display in Paris in 1898, it caused such dislike that it was rejected by the very grup that had apprved it in the first place. Yet by 1969 Kenneth Clark had declared it “the greatest piece f sculpture f the 19th century”. And yu can still see it standing in the mst visible place in the Musée Rdin’s gardens tday. Perhaps there’s a lessn in that fr all the maligned (诽谤) sculptrs arund the wrld: just wait 70 dd years and things will blw ver. Perhaps by the year 2095, Austen, Wllstnecraft and Rnald will be standing te t te, bringing glry t sme greatly-admired galleries. Or, as smene wisely remarks, “time will explain.”
28. Why did the lcal peple wrry abut building the statue in the Cathedral?
A. Because n ne likes statues f public figures.
B. Because it may shw disrespect fr the creatr.
C. Because Jane Austen didn’t want t be expsed publicly.
D. Because it may turn the Cathedral int kids’ pleasure grund.
29. What des the underlined wrd “wrangling” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Arguing.B. Aviding.C. Justifying.D. Interrupting.
30. Hw des the third paragraph mainly develp?
A. By listing statistics.B. By ffering examples.
C. By giving a definitin.D. By quting smene’s wrds.
31. What is the authr’s pinin abut the statues f public figures?
A. They are unwrthy t be built.
B. They will pssibly be ppular in the future.
C. They will cause peple’s hate t the subjects.
D. They are bund t bring hnr t nted galleries.

On a chilly autumn mrning in the Italian cuntryside near Larderell, Tuscany, the misty landscape reminded me why the area is nicknamed the Devil’s Valley. The land here is a web f natural cracks in the rck that let a mix f steam and gases reach the surface.
Unlike the rlling hills and cypress-lined rads f ther parts f Tuscany, the landscape here is cvered with dzens f grey cling twers puffing white vaprs. The deafening rar f a turbine (涡轮机) at the Valle Secl gethermal (地热的) plant breaks the quietness, but its vilent spinning transfrms steam rising frm undergrund int energy fr 150,000 families in the regin. Abut 30% f Tuscany’s electricity cmes frm this energy surce. After prducing electricity, the leftver steam heats water fr nearby districts.
This undergrund energy has recently prved a vital resurce. Italy greatly depended n Russian fssil fuels and in 2023 Italians bre the wrld’s highest husehld electricity bills. Factries cut dwn prductin and husehlds had t turn dwn their heaters. But residents f the Larderell area spent the winter in warm hmes, thanks t the lcal gethermal plants wrking 24/7.
Brun Della Vedva, president f the Italian Gethermal Unin, hpes that in the future ther Italian regins culd benefit frm such a resurce, which is extremely imprtant when the whle wrld lks t transitin t renewable energy.
While cuntries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage f their gethermal resurces, the industry’s grwth has made slw prgress in Italy. High set-up csts and difficulties in extractin present significant barriers. And new plants ften run int ppsitin frm nearby cmmunities ver health cncerns.
Italy sits n a gethermal sweet spt. Especially belw Larderell, as Della Vedva says. A vast reservir (储备) f steam and water is trapped between Earth’s inner heat and a layer f clay-heavy rcks. High temperatures lead t the frmatin f steam directly inside the reservir, prviding a significant surce f energy.
But while heat frm Earth’s cre is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are nt. S Della Vedva says restring undergrund water supplies and using them sustainably is critical fr the future. “We can’t take advantage f a gethermal resurce at will,” he says.
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The landscape in the cuntryside.
B. The intrductin t a gethermal plant.
C. The applicatin f gethermal energy in Tuscany.
D. The prcess f turning undergrund steam int heat.
33. Why has gethermal industry develped slwly in Italy?
A. Peple near new plants bject t it.
B. Gethermal plants cut dwn their prductin.
C. There is very little undergrund water and steam.
D. Peple use less electricity by turning dwn heaters.
34. What is Della Vedva’s attitude t the prspect f gethermal energy?
A. Unfavrable.B. Unclear.C. Optimistic.D. Cautius.
35. What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A. Where des gethermal energy lead Italy?
B. Is the heat frm Earth’s cre really limitless?
C. Can energy frm undergrund help pwer Italy?
D. Hw can gethermal energy be used scientifically?
