Even withut speaking each ther’s language, we started t learn abut ne anther.

After we fed everybdy and the dishes were washed, my day was ver. But I fund myself hesitant t leave. It was as if I had knwn her my entire life. I had nt predicted the unselfishness f heart I wuld encunter, and it was mving.
As we were waiting fr the car t pick us up, Nadia shwed me her plants that are well-maintained. I culd see that despite the hard cnditins she was passinate abut life. She made me lng t be a strnger persn. She shwed me that pverty was external, but happiness was internal. I was seeking t give 100 percent fr a well-intentined cause, but I left receiving 200 percent frm her.

At just a few inches lng and living n an affrdable diet f flakes, gldfish are ften viewed as the wrld’s mst unnticeable pet — a kind f gateway animal t prepare new caregivers fr cats and dgs t cme. But their blank stare and expressin cver up a little-knwn and smewhat hrrifying fact: Released int the wild and upping their calric cunt gldfish can develp int massive fish, damaging lcal ecsystems.
Accrding t The New Yrk Times, the Great Lakes are currently suffering frm an inflw f gldfish. They eat everything frm algae (海藻) t plants t animals withut backbnes and can reach 16 inches t 19 inches in length, weighing in at 4 punds. And all that cnsumptin is destructive. The gldfish swallw plants that native fish eat. They als cnsume algae, which prmtes further algae grwth. Because they’re resistant t changing water temperatures, they can be lasting truble. They are als frcing native fish ut f their natural habitat.
Researchers have bserved a significant increase in the gldfish ppulatin ver the past few decades, a likely cnsequence f peple releasing pets that then reprduce. It’s pssible that tens f millins f gldfish nw live in the Great Lakes; similar gldfish prblems have als been bserved in Australia.
Pssible interventins include electrical currents that wuld kill the fish and netting t capture them and cntrl the ppulatin in breeding grunds identified by tracking.
Gldfish grew ppular in the U.S. in the late 19th century,when the U.S. Cmmissin n Fisheries gave away thusands f them in Washingtn.D.C They’re fairly crafty fish with the capacity t learn sme simple tricks. Advcates say the typical fishbwl is t small fr them and recmmend a tank f at least 20 gallns per fish s they have rm t mve.
With the right envirnment, gldfish can reprduce fast and live fr decades. But if yu’re nt interested in keeping them, experts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service suggest dnating them t a schl, pet stre, r interested party — nt a lcal pnd.
23．Hw can gldfish grw super big?
A．By grwing uninterruptedly in a tank.B．By staying tgether with ther fish.
C．By living with cnsiderate caregivers.D．By eating enugh fd in a big lake.
24．What d gldfish d t the ecsystem?
A．They eat up lcal fish.B．They help keep bidiversity.
C．They ccupy the habitat f native fish.D．They prmte the spread f algae.
25．What is the gldfish prblem in Australia?
A．Gldfish ppulatin is increasing fast.B．Capturing gldfish becmes very difficult.
C．Gldfish are grwing t big t live in a tank.D．Tracking gldfish’s breeding grunds is impssible.
26．Which can replace the underlined wrd “crafty” in paragraph 5?
A．Pitiable.B．Fxy.C．Cute.D．Ppular.

Salad is gd fr yu, generally speaking, s grwing fresh greens in rbit seems like a winning way fr space wrkers t stay healthy. New research suggests that as nutritius as space salad might be, it culd pse smething f a risk t astrnauts.
The prblem is grwing leafy plants like lettuce (生菜) in space can cme with a side dish f bacteria (细菌), accrding t a new study frm a team at the University f Delaware. In tests n plants grwn in mdeled micr-gravity, they were shwn t actually be mre sensitive than nrmal t the Salmnella enterica (SE)(沙门氏菌).
We knw that the Internatinal Space Statin (ISS) is hme t a lt f aggressive bacteria, and if these space virus were t cause widespread sickness in an astrnaut crew, it wuld mean lives were at risk. “Yu dn’t want the whle missin t fail just because f a fd safety utbreak,” says plant bilgist Harsh Bais frm the University f Delaware.
Bais and his clleagues used a device t perfrm sme clever rtatin tricks in the lab, putting lettuce plants int a similar state as they wuld be in micr-gravity. They then added SE bacteria t the leaves. What was interesting — and surprising — was that the tiny stmata (气孔) in the lettuce pened up t allw the bacteria t get in. Ordinarily, the jb f the stmata is t keep dangerus attackers ut, while at the same time helping the plant t breathe.
The researchers then added a mre helpful species f bacteria, ne that typically prtects plants frm external stressrs. Again, the defense didn’t wrk in micr-gravity — suggesting there’s smething abut this state that disables the chemical reactins that the lettuce wuld nrmally use t keep itself safe.
Add in what we knw abut space bacteria being particularly tricky, and this is a ptential prblem. The team behind the study wants t see a lt mre research int making sure ur fdstuffs are safe utside f rbit.
27．Why can’t lettuce be grwn in ISS?
A．Its leaves takes up t much space.B．It brings in illness-causing bacteria.
C．It is nly a side dish t astrnauts.D．It can’t grw well in micr-gravity.
28．What is Bais’ attitude t grwing plants in space?
A．Negative.B．Sensitive.C．Enthusiastic.D．Uncncerned.
29．What did the tiny stmata d in the experiment?
A．They kept lettuce frm breathing.B．They ensure the safety f lettuce.
C．They failed t functin as expected.D．They stpped all bacteria cming in.
30．What is a best tile fr the text?
A．SE, the Wrst Bacteria in SpaceB．Greens fr Salad, a Risk in Space
C．Lettuce, Plant Samples Used in SpaceD．Fd Safety, a Key Prblem in Space

When he was arund 5-6 years ld, my brther Ted, wh is fur years yunger t me, suddenly fund his legs unable t mve ne night. What fllwed was ne f the hardest times f my parents’ life. Mnths passed with them meeting varius dctrs, visiting different hspitals, and kncking at the drstep f every pssible chance—all the time with Ted in their arms, since he wasn’t able t walk n his wn anymre.
There were dubts f permanent paralysis (瘫痪) —the very mentin f which was enugh t break us dwn. Frm finding it extremely painful t walk, t nt being able t get up n his wn, and t nt being able t stand at all, Ted’s prblem was wrsening day by day. Mst surprisingly, all this while, he was as strng as, perhaps, nly children can be in such difficult times.
During this perid, it was nt unusual fr my mther t have sudden breakdwns. Once, she burst int tears while watching Ted playing jyfully. He wiped ff her tears, and said, “Dn’t cry, mummy. See, I can stand and even run n my wn!” Saying this, he tried t get up, std n shaking legs fr just abut a few micrsecnds and fell dwn, nly t be safely caught in the arms f my mm, wh hugged him dearly and cried sme mre.
This was the mst heart-breaking thing that I bad ever experienced. But it was als a pwerful ne fr the simple fact that it was my little brther wh taught us what life was all abut—HOPE.
Witnessing my brther’s strng will and psitive attitude inspired me as well. As a brther, I culd nt stand by ding nthing at all. Hpe was burning in my heart when I had the idea t train my brther t walk again. I firmly believe Ted culd stand up and walk as he used t. Whenever schl was ver, I wuld put Ted int a pushchair and tell my mm that we’d just g t the park.
