26、Jose Adolfo is a banker from Peru. He encourages children to save money and offers his customers cash for recycling plastic wastes. But the remarkable thing is that he is still a child himself.
By the age of 7, he decided to create a bank for children. He was motivated by seeing his classmates skipping lunch because they had spent the little money they had on sweets or football cards. What drove him even more was the poverty he saw among children.
With the support of a local company, the 14-year-old founded the Bartselana student bank which now has more than 2,000 customers between the ages of 10 and 18. Children can withdraw (提取) money from several cashpoints of the bank. They can also monitor their balances online. What makes it different from traditional banks is that it sets savings goals for children. They have to reach those goals in order to withdraw their money.
The student bank really took off when he came up with the “Recycle Plan”, a new way for the children to earn money by collecting recyclable plastic or paper waste. Students can bring recyclable plastic bottles, used school books and old newspapers to the schools and put them into the collecting boxes. The recycling is weighed and the money goes to their bank accounts.
The bank recycles 4.4 tons of material a month and has collecting boxes in seven schools in Arequipa. More are on a waiting list. Increasingly the model is in demand in the rest of Peru and abroad.
His efforts have been noticed by Peru’s environment ministry. “He’s making an amazing change in financial (理财的) education that perhaps many adults could not come up with,” said the Peru’s environment minister, Lucia Ruiz. “He’s achieving a double goal because he’s not just designing a financial opportunity for children and teenagers but also helping to reduce waste in the country.”
【1】Why did Jose create a bank for children?
A．To help poor children.
B．To provide free lunch.
C．To offer outdoor activities.
D．To improve school condition.
【2】What is special about the student bank ?

B．It monitors the balance.
C．It has several cashpoints.
D．It serves customers online.
【3】According to paragraph 4, students can earn money by _______ .
A．using less plastic bottles
B．using old school books
C．collecting plastic wastes
D．cleaning collecting boxes
【4】What can we know about the “Recycle Plan” ?
A．It’s typical.
B．It’s successful.
C．It’s risky.
D．It’s well-organized .
【5】According to Lucia Ruiz, why is Jose’s job meaningful?
A．He gave money to poor children.
B．He taught children how to spend money.
C．He helped adults receive financial education.
D．He contributed to financial education and recycling.
27、 My poor mother would be the first to tell you that having a food scientist for a daughter was not always easy.
One weekend visit home,I stood in her kitchen and surveyed her food preparation techniques.
“You know,”I said,“there’s no nutrition left when you overcook the vegetables like that.”
She smiled at me patiently and said,“Oh my!It’s a miracle(奇迹)that after all these years,my kid even survived at all!”
Survive we did.Mom’s meals were simple but well-balanced.My sisters and I grew up with a variety of food on our family table.When it came to vegetables,we ate almost everything—from green chilies to turnip greens.
On school mornings,Mom switched on our bedroom light to silently tell us it was time to get up.Then she’d rush to the kitchen to make a nourishing(有营养的)breakfast we’d eat before heading out the door.
In the summer,Mom always had fresh tomatoes and plenty of zucchini in her garden and on the dinner table.And I learned to love green beans from visits to our cousins.My aunt would sit me on the back porch(门廊)and have me take the ends off fresh beans.Years later I would learn that kids are more likely to accept foods when they are involved with them in some way.
One thing surprised me at the time but became very clear after I had a child myself.My mother LOVED it when I took the initiative(主动)to prepare a meal.She went back to work when I was in high school,so I was often the first one home.One day,after I’d finished homework and taken care of the dogs and horses,I decided to try a recipe from one of Mom’s cookbooks.
It wasn’t a perfect meal.But when she got home and saw the table set and dinner ready,she was so happy.That was an enjoyable moment for me.
Now I understand that food is only one way we receive nutrition.We also need soul food,and my mom did a good job with that.She taught me humility(谦逊),thankfulness and unconditional love.
I hope I could cook a meal for her this year.I’d even try not to overcook the vegetables.

28、 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a week-long taste of rural life. We stayed in guest house on a farm, joining the daily routine and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterwards.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spent much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons give is that we should all have enough money for family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should save our money and time for.
For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel Would it be better to buy groceries and good for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens door to all kinds of conversations---deep, silly or meaningful. There is no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.

A.For family vacations. B.For better investment.
C.For children’s education. D.For traveling alone.

A.The author had a good time in the countryside.
B.The author advised others to spend vacations with their families.
C.The author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family.
D.The author realized the values of a family vacation and put it into practice.
29、 In the last few years. “bike-sharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But I didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.
Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good for schoolchildren in Myanmar. Some children in Myanmar travel an hour or more on foot every day to get to school. Soon. Mr. Than Tun Win had raised around $400, 000 for the LessWalk project. About half of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.
The LessWalk project bought thousands of new rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they’ve added another change—they’re using special tires that don’t go flat to take the place of the bike’s regular tires. With all the changes, Mr. Than says each bike costs Less Walk about $35.
Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since Less Walk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.
Though Less Walk only began in March, the project has already brought around 22, 500 bikes into Myanmar and has given out over 1, 000 bikes. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to Laos and Cambodia.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly used to do?
A.Attract readers’ attention to the topic. B.Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C.Use some examples to support the topic. D.Provide background information on the topic.
【2】Why did Mike Than Tun Win set up the LessWalk project?
A.To make money. B.To help the needy.
C.To grow his business. D.To spread his green travel idea.
【3】What can we learn about the bikes that the LessWalk project offers?
A.They are all old shared bikes. B.They allow two people to ride on one bike.
C.They only allow an hour of use a day. D.They require a smartphone app to unlock them.
【4】Why does giving out the bikes take a little longer?
A.There aren’t enough bikes for the locals.
B.The locals show little interest in bikes.
C.The project has to pick out its users carefully.
D.The project hasn't yet received the local government’s support.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
