I can’t miss the little ld lady with her kerchief (方头巾) n her head, a black umbrella blwing all ver. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stp, and I’m driving by, late fr my early mrning shift. I decide t stp and ffer her a ride.
Of curse, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her t her destinatin, and by the time she gets ut f my car, she is smiling and thanks me.

Surprisingly, everyne wants t chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is ver. “What a shame!” I ften think when they hp ut, as the stries were just getting started.
Nw as retirement appraches, I believe I have fund my calling. I will be happy t jin a cmmunity driving prgram t take peple t ne appintment r anther – r perhaps just t the cffee shp t sit and listen fr an hur.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the ne standing at the bus stp. Perhaps there will be smebdy wh rlls dwn a windw and ffers me a seat fr a little ride. I will cntinue t take that leap f faith in the kindness f strangers.

Wheat is a main surce f fd fr peple acrss the planet, accunting fr a fifth f the calries cnsumed glbally. But as a result f climate change, scientists believe mst parts f the wrld where the crp is grwn will be hit by water shrtages by the end f the century. And the US culd be amng the cuntries wrst affected, the authrs f the research published in the jurnal Science Advances tld Newsweek.
If climate change isn't dealt with, by the year 2100, 60 percent f areas that grw wheat will be hit by water scarcity — up frm the current level f 15 percent, accrding t the internatinal team f scientists.
C-authrs Mirslav Trnka and Sng Feng tld Newsweek that in their previus research, they had shwn climate change may cause sil t becme less mist (湿润的) acrss mst mainland US states, including thse where wheat is grwn. As a result, the US culd be “ne f the tp mst affected wheat prducers” in terms f the increase in areas affected by severe drughts, they said in a jint statement.
Wrryingly, existing research has predicted a 4.0 t 6.5 percent drp in glbal wheat prductin per 1 degree Celsius f warming if climate change isn't eased. And it's unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becmes scarce, as it's nt as thirsty as ther crps and can d withut water fr a relatively lng perid f time.
“If multiple regins are affected by drught at the same time, it might be difficult t meet the demand even if the trade rutes stay pen and are nt restricted by gvernmental measures,” warned Feng. Hwever, he said, “Studies shw that if we cntinuusly imprve the sustainability and technlgies in the cming decades and allw fr internatinal trade, we may vercme the negative impacts f climate change.”
8. Hw will climate change hurt wheat prductin?
A. By lwering the temperature.
B By reducing the water supply.
C. By plluting the sil.
D. By flding the field.
9. What can we learn frm Paragraph 3?
A. Wheat prductin caused drughts in mst mainland US states.
B. The United States is the biggest wheat prducer in the wrld.
C. The United States will suffer a lt frm climate change.
D. Climate change is clsely watched by American scientists.
10. Why is wheat unlikely t be replaced by ther crps in a drught?
A. It is the primary fd fr mst cuntries.
B. It is nt influenced by glbal warming.
C. It is widely grwn in mst cuntries.
D. It needs less water than ther crps.
11. What's Feng's attitude twards the wheat prductin in the cming decades?
A. Negative.B. Objective.
C. Ambiguus.D. Uncncerned.
D
In a digital age, we almst never write things by hand. Hwever, multiple studies have shwn that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at the Nrwegian University f Science and Technlgy, cnfirms the same chsing handwriting ver using a keybard results in better learning and memry.
“When yu write yur shpping list r lecture ntes by hand, yu simply remember the cntent better afterwards,” said Audrey Van der Meer, authr f the study.
The study was cnducted using equipment t track and recrd brain wave activity. The participants included 12 yung adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked t write by hand and type n a keybard while wearing a hd (风帽) with ver 250 electrdes (电极). The sensrs (传感器) in the electrdes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examinatin tk 45 minutes per persn.
The results shwed that the brain in bth yung adults and children is much mre active when writing by hand than when typing n a keybard. Accrding t Van der Meer, plenty f senses are activated (激活) by pressing a pen n paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sund made while writing. These sense experiences build cntact between different parts f the brain, pening the brain up fr learning.
Van der Meer believes that the utcmes stress the imprtance f children being challenged t draw and write at an early age, especially at schl. “Learning t write by hand is a bit slwer prcess, but it’s imprtant fr children t g thrugh the tiring phase f learning t write by hand”, she said.
The hand mvements used t frm the shapes f letters are beneficial in several ways. “If yu use a keybard, yu use the same mvement fr each letter. Writing by hand requires cntrl f yur fine mtr (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s imprtant t put the brain in a learning state as ften as pssible,” Van der Meer added. Fr example, yu might use a keybard t write an essay, but yu shuld take ntes by hand during a lecture.
12. What d we knw abut the study?
A. The study invlved 45 participants altgether.
B. The participants were divided int tw grups t cnduct.
C All the participants were gathered tgether fr examinatins.
D. The sensrs in the electrdes were used t track brain wave activity.
13. Why des the brain becme mre active when writing by hand than when typing n a keybard accrding t Van der Meer?
A. Mre senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier n the brain.
C. Nise made by typing desn’t distract the brain when writing by hand.
D. The brain is mre used t the skills required t write by hand.
14. Hw des Van der Meer think handwriting benefits peple?
A. It increases peple’s interest in learning.B. It helps peple develp fine mtr skills.
C. It allws children t becme mre patient.D. It allws peple t write better essays.
15. What’s the main purpse f the text?
A. T reprt n new research n handwriting
B. T encurage the use f handwriting
C. T explain hw handwriting affects adults and children differently
D. T advise children t start t write early

57-year-ld Sean Currey knew the value f treating thers in the way he intended t be treated. Hence, he lived by that principle in his whle life, which eventually tk him ff the streets at the right time.
Sean Currey became unemplyed during the pandemic, and ended up hmeless, searching thrugh dustbins (垃圾桶) arund San Rafael, Califrnia, t meet his needs. Once, he made an unusual find at the bttm f a dustbin just behind a cffee shp. Lking thrugh the purse, he discvered a series f credit cards, debit cards, healthcare cards and a business card, identifying the purse’s wner as an 80-year-ld wman, Evelyn Tpper.
Interestingly, the wman lived in Mill Valley, abut six miles away frm his lcatin. Knwing hw discuraging it was t lse ne’s pssessins, Currey figured he needed t return the purse t its rightful wner. Then Sean Currey gave Tpper a call, using the cntact details n the business card. His guess was accurate, as the elderly wman had been extremely wrried since lsing her purse days ag.
Accrding t Evelyn Tpper, she stpped by a cffee shp n December 9 t get a ht drink and a bubble tea fr her 12-year-ld granddaughter. She paid fr bth drinks and put the purse int her pcket. Unfrtunately, the purse fell ff smewhere alng the way, and by the time she reached hme, she discvered her purse was gne.
Evelyn Tpper cntacted the cffee shp immediately, receiving the heartbreaking news that her purse was nt there. Next, she checked her car, and all the rms in her apartment, but did nt find it. Eventually, she cncluded the purse must have been drpped smewhere n the way hme.
Just when she gave up finding her purse, Tpper received Currey’s call. She screamed in delight when she learned he had her purse. They met up immediately in frnt f a nearby shpping center, where Currey returned the purse. The wman called her daughter and granddaughter, Mikayla Gunard, t tell them what had happened. That was when Mikayla decided t repay Currey’s kindness.

I can’t miss the little ld lady with her kerchief (方头巾) n her head, a black umbrella blwing all ver. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stp, and I’m driving by, late fr my early mrning shift. I decide t stp and ffer her a ride.
Of curse, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her t her destinatin, and by the time she gets ut f my car, she is smiling and thanks me.

Surprisingly, everyne wants t chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is ver. “What a shame!” I ften think when they hp ut, as the stries were just getting started.
Nw as retirement appraches, I believe I have fund my calling. I will be happy t jin a cmmunity driving prgram t take peple t ne appintment r anther – r perhaps just t the cffee shp t sit and listen fr an hur.

Wheat is a main surce f fd fr peple acrss the planet, accunting fr a fifth f the calries cnsumed glbally. But as a result f climate change, scientists believe mst parts f the wrld where the crp is grwn will be hit by water shrtages by the end f the century. And the US culd be amng the cuntries wrst affected, the authrs f the research published in the jurnal Science Advances tld Newsweek.
If climate change isn't dealt with, by the year 2100, 60 percent f areas that grw wheat will be hit by water scarcity — up frm the current level f 15 percent, accrding t the internatinal team f scientists.
C-authrs Mirslav Trnka and Sng Feng tld Newsweek that in their previus research, they had shwn climate change may cause sil t becme less mist (湿润的) acrss mst mainland US states, including thse where wheat is grwn. As a result, the US culd be “ne f the tp mst affected wheat prducers” in terms f the increase in areas affected by severe drughts, they said in a jint statement.
Wrryingly, existing research has predicted a 4.0 t 6.5 percent drp in glbal wheat prductin per 1 degree Celsius f warming if climate change isn't eased. And it's unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becmes scarce, as it's nt as thirsty as ther crps and can d withut water fr a relatively lng perid f time.
“If multiple regins are affected by drught at the same time, it might be difficult t meet the demand even if the trade rutes stay pen and are nt restricted by gvernmental measures,” warned Feng. Hwever, he said, “Studies shw that if we cntinuusly imprve the sustainability and technlgies in the cming decades and allw fr internatinal trade, we may vercme the negative impacts f climate change.”
8. Hw will climate change hurt wheat prductin?
A. By lwering the temperature.
B By reducing the water supply.
C. By plluting the sil.
D. By flding the field.
9. What can we learn frm Paragraph 3?
A. Wheat prductin caused drughts in mst mainland US states.
B. The United States is the biggest wheat prducer in the wrld.
C. The United States will suffer a lt frm climate change.
D. Climate change is clsely watched by American scientists.
10. Why is wheat unlikely t be replaced by ther crps in a drught?
A. It is the primary fd fr mst cuntries.
B. It is nt influenced by glbal warming.
C. It is widely grwn in mst cuntries.
D. It needs less water than ther crps.
11. What's Feng's attitude twards the wheat prductin in the cming decades?
A. Negative.B. Objective.
C. Ambiguus.D. Uncncerned.

In a digital age, we almst never write things by hand. Hwever, multiple studies have shwn that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at the Nrwegian University f Science and Technlgy, cnfirms the same chsing handwriting ver using a keybard results in better learning and memry.
“When yu write yur shpping list r lecture ntes by hand, yu simply remember the cntent better afterwards,” said Audrey Van der Meer, authr f the study.
The study was cnducted using equipment t track and recrd brain wave activity. The participants included 12 yung adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked t write by hand and type n a keybard while wearing a hd (风帽) with ver 250 electrdes (电极). The sensrs (传感器) in the electrdes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examinatin tk 45 minutes per persn.
The results shwed that the brain in bth yung adults and children is much mre active when writing by hand than when typing n a keybard. Accrding t Van der Meer, plenty f senses are activated (激活) by pressing a pen n paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sund made while writing. These sense experiences build cntact between different parts f the brain, pening the brain up fr learning.
Van der Meer believes that the utcmes stress the imprtance f children being challenged t draw and write at an early age, especially at schl. “Learning t write by hand is a bit slwer prcess, but it’s imprtant fr children t g thrugh the tiring phase f learning t write by hand”, she said.
The hand mvements used t frm the shapes f letters are beneficial in several ways. “If yu use a keybard, yu use the same mvement fr each letter. Writing by hand requires cntrl f yur fine mtr (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s imprtant t put the brain in a learning state as ften as pssible,” Van der Meer added. Fr example, yu might use a keybard t write an essay, but yu shuld take ntes by hand during a lecture.
12. What d we knw abut the study?
A. The study invlved 45 participants altgether.
B. The participants were divided int tw grups t cnduct.
C All the participants were gathered tgether fr examinatins.
D. The sensrs in the electrdes were used t track brain wave activity.
13. Why des the brain becme mre active when writing by hand than when typing n a keybard accrding t Van der Meer?
A. Mre senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier n the brain.
C. Nise made by typing desn’t distract the brain when writing by hand.
D. The brain is mre used t the skills required t write by hand.
14. Hw des Van der Meer think handwriting benefits peple?
A. It increases peple’s interest in learning.B. It helps peple develp fine mtr skills.
C. It allws children t becme mre patient.D. It allws peple t write better essays.
15. What’s the main purpse f the text?
A. T reprt n new research n handwriting
B. T encurage the use f handwriting
C. T explain hw handwriting affects adults and children differently
D. T advise children t start t write early

57-year-ld Sean Currey knew the value f treating thers in the way he intended t be treated. Hence, he lived by that principle in his whle life, which eventually tk him ff the streets at the right time.
Sean Currey became unemplyed during the pandemic, and ended up hmeless, searching thrugh dustbins (垃圾桶) arund San Rafael, Califrnia, t meet his needs. Once, he made an unusual find at the bttm f a dustbin just behind a cffee shp. Lking thrugh the purse, he discvered a series f credit cards, debit cards, healthcare cards and a business card, identifying the purse’s wner as an 80-year-ld wman, Evelyn Tpper.
Interestingly, the wman lived in Mill Valley, abut six miles away frm his lcatin. Knwing hw discuraging it was t lse ne’s pssessins, Currey figured he needed t return the purse t its rightful wner. Then Sean Currey gave Tpper a call, using the cntact details n the business card. His guess was accurate, as the elderly wman had been extremely wrried since lsing her purse days ag.
Accrding t Evelyn Tpper, she stpped by a cffee shp n December 9 t get a ht drink and a bubble tea fr her 12-year-ld granddaughter. She paid fr bth drinks and put the purse int her pcket.

Evelyn Tpper cntacted the cffee shp immediately, receiving the heartbreaking news that her purse was nt there. Next, she checked her car, and all the rms in her apartment, but did nt find it. Eventually, she cncluded the purse must have been drpped smewhere n the way hme.
Just when she gave up finding her purse, Tpper received Currey’s call. She screamed in delight when she learned he had her purse. They met up immediately in frnt f a nearby shpping center, where Currey returned the purse. The wman called her daughter and granddaughter, Mikayla Gunard, t tell them what had happened. That was when Mikayla decided t repay Currey’s kindness.
