Band students from Hillgrove High Schoo

19、l arrived to hang out with and talk to the little guys. They wanted to make sure the school's youngest had food in their homes that week.The thing that thrilled people was that this generous idea came from 17-year-old Nathan Jones, not an adult. Jones is a good trumpet （小號(hào)）player with the Hillgr

20、ove Hawks band. The idea, he said, came to him two years ago during a discussion about community service in a freshman leadership class. Serving the community was nothing new to Jones. For years, he and his family, who recently moved from Orlando, Florida, had been active community volunteers.Last y

21、ear, Jones thought it was a good idea to get the school band involved in community service, only for the young kids in the schooL Band director PatrickErwin agreed but decided they had neither the time nor the resources to do it. "It got put on the back burner," Jones said. “This year, I d

22、ecided to try again. ” This time, Erwin encouraged Jones to take charge and he did.Back in August, Jones challenged the band to raise $ 5,000 to help with the cost of packing the meals. Within two weeks, they'd collected $6,000 in donations, enough to provide 2,500 family meals, including bags o

23、f rice, soy protein, vitamins and vegetables. By the end of the month, when poor families are struggling, a bag of food can mean the difference between a full stomach and an empty one for many of those students.But HiHgrove's effort isn't just about feeding the body. It's about feeding s

24、ouls, too.Early on, the band's goal was to direct students' focus from getting "likes" on social media to building relationships with the people around them. So the band decided on the message, "What the world needs now is love, not likes” for its half-time show. That means ac

25、tually going into the community and actually showing love,” Jones said. “ We're going out and doing what weVe telling people to do. ” 24 . Why did the band students go to Compton Elementary School?A.To share their music with the kids.B.To provide food for poor young kids.C.To give students advic

26、e on healthy eating.D.To help children who had trouble making friends.25.Where did Jones get his idea?A.A news report about Compton.B.A discussion in a leadership class.C.

28、the night of August 24, 2001, everything changed when my friends car hit a wall with me inside. I lost most of my right leg, and I was left bleeding with several broken bones. At the hospital, although my body was weak, my mind was still very clear. I just kept telling myself to hold on. A week late

29、t，I made a deal with the doctors that once I could roll onto my side, I could leave.Two weeks later , I was allowed to go home. Although I left the hospital, the fight was far from over. My left knee was badly injured, which resulted in different surgeries (手術(shù)）over the next few years. And soon, more

30、 of my right leg had to be removed This made it harder to wear my false leg, so I donated it to a nurse who couldn't afford one for henself. The joy of being able to provide this gift to someone else was greater than the happiness I felt on any day I was able to wear it myself.People often tell

31、me they're proud of me for staying strong. But in my mind, staying strong has always been my only choice. So, on the day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to always live life to the fullest.Now, I may not be able to do things the way everybody else does them, but still,I always fin

32、d a way to do them. I soon settled into everyday life again, until one day I realized I wasn't living my life as fully as I wanted to.After 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I wanted t

33、o help those around me. In 2014, I even started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine and say, "Wow, she's beautiful, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability."28.How did the author feel after the car ac

34、cident?A. She felt lucky that she was still alive.B. She took a positive attitude toward life.C.She couldn't accept the loss of her leg.D.She complained that life was unfair to her.29.What made the author feel happy according to the text?A. She could wear her false leg again.B.She had lived her

35、life to the fullest.C. She was able to offer help to others.D .She could do things like everybody else.30.Why did the author start modeling in 2014 ?A.To appear on the cover of a magazine.B.To prove disabled people could also succeed.C.To challenge herself by trying something new.D .To encourage oth

36、ers to be confident of themselves.31.What was the author's main purpose in writing the text?A.To stress the importance of having a dreamB.To show how difficult life is for disabled people.C.To give advice to disabled people on how to make a living.D.To share her past experiences and how she disc

37、overed her dream.DMany of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons .According to

38、a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect” .They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch” to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environmentsFor the st

39、udy, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brain was more active than the right brain and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activit

40、ies decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process , the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain afiect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance betwe

41、en them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings,just as it is in the daytime.“ At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis, ” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian"If so

42、mething unusual happens - if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock -you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus （刺激強(qiáng)度) is quite low. ” More surprisingly , this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (進(jìn)化），and wor

43、ks to pmtect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect" , researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.32.What is found in the new study published i

44、n Current Biology?A.Brain activities affect people's sleep in a new environment.B.A comfortable bed helps people sleep well in a new environmentsC.Most people can sleep well in a new environment after the first night.D.The right brain determines how well people sleep in a new environment.33.What

45、 do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things ?A.The tiredness people suffer from in the daytime.B.The bad sleep experiences people have ever had.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things people come across.34.What do the researchers think

46、 of "first night effect”？A.It has developed as a way to protect us.B.It increases our better sleep experiences.C.It's a characteristic that animals don't have.D.It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.35 .What might be the best title for the parage?A.Why can% we get to s

48、e waves to travel even faster than they normally swim> There is np doubt that they are enjoying themselves and, though I can't swim like a dolphin, 36 .Bodysurfing involves riding on a wave with no help from any device（裝置）such as a surfboard, which makes it the “purest” form of surfing. In fa

49、ct, it is one of very few extreme sports -free climbing and cliff diving are others - 37.However, it is more enjoyable and safer if you use flippers （腳蹼）.This is because they enable you to swim faster, and so catch waves and surf along them more easily. 38 Another aid is a handboard, a mini-surf boa

50、rd about the size of an iron, held in one hand to generate more speed along the wave.To catch a wave, swim to where the waves break and, as one approaches, start swimming towards the beach. You must try to travel at the same speed as the wave and, if you do it correctly, you will feel the wave lifti
