She planned to save money to meet the college expense and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.Her father, Clint and her friends didn't want her to put off her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group named Praynksters, known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormous assistance from the local community.Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family over $ 13, 000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. She is still humbled by it all.After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding(众筹)efforts.

There are at least two reasons, Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view(后视)eyes don't fit well into the human evolution(进化).Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock·they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So, our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.Finally, there is often more than one potential "solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360-degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the hack of your head.8. Why do humans have no rear-view eyes?A. They are bad for human survival. B. They are replaced by other organs.C. They are less likely to spot the danger. D. They are abandoned by natural selection.9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival.B. To explain why animals have other functional eyes.C. To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.D. To show rear-view eyes are against the natural selection.10. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Sensitive hearing. B. The sound behind the head.C. The visible threat behind the head. D. Rear vision.11. Where does the text most likely come from?A. A travel brochure. B. A science magazine. C. A fiction. D. A book review.DThe UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions(排放)by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a "climate action summit(峰会)" to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 30℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting global warming to 1.50℃."This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.The UK had previously promised a 53%cut in emissions as part of a joint(共同的)effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57%cut by 2032 domestically.It is clear that far more action will he needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.12. Why did the UK declare its new goal before "climate action summit"?A. To show its former plans are based on facts.B. To blame other countries for their low goals.C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.13. What is the UK's new goal for reducing emissions?A. 15%. B. 53%. C. 57%. D. 68%14. What's the author's attitude to the UK's new goal?A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Subjective.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. A new goal will be put forward on "climate action summit"B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris AgreementC. UK's recent major policies are far from its pre-determined goalD. UK sets ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I've always wanted to travel ever since I was young. 16 I deeply believe travel makes me richer, not in my wallet, but in my intelligence. 17 In general, I have a very hard time trusting people, mostly because I worry they'll lie or take advantage of me.
