22、 An extraordinary new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.
The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.
What makes the restaurant unusual, aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics.
“I think we recycle 1 ton of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Sarimin in an interview with Channel News Asia. “It benefits everyone.”
The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day.
“I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World. “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance as much as possible.”
【1】What do we know about Jatibarang Landfill?
A.An unusual restaurant for people to eat free meals.
B.A mountain where the locals live on selling waste.
C.A place where poor locals collect waste to sell.
D.A plant where waste is recycled.
【2】Why did Sarimin and Suyatmi open their restaurant?
A.To double their daily income and profit.
B.To prove waste is a valuable thing.
C.To provide food for locals trying to survive.
D.To help settle the issues of poverty and trash.
【3】What does the underlined word “deduct” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Increase B.Replace
C.Remove D.Equal
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.An unusual way to pay for meals.
B.A local mission to help get rid of poverty.
C.A different scheme to reduce waste.
D.A new restaurant getting double income.
23、To know parents’ influence on students’ learning, researchers studied 438 kids and their parents. Before a school year started, the researchers asked parents to write down how anxious they would feel in different situations connected with math like planning their money spending or checking their house’s size. They also checked their children’s math ability and math anxiety in a school year.
The study found kids whose parents were anxious about math learned less math over the school year. And these kids didn’t perform as well on the tests as those who hadn’t been exposed to math anxiety. Besides, these kids also were more likely to become nervous about math themselves. But these kids only “ caught ” that anxiety if their parents had often tried to help with their homework. This is an example of good intentions having a bad result.
The study’s result appeared in Psychological Science. Erin Maloney led the study. As someone who has personally experienced math anxiety, she says, “ I was always very nervous about math, not only taking tests but also learning the new concepts. So I really tried to balk at math, including finding excuses to miss math tests and not wanting to do math homework. ” It was only after she saw how math could be applied to her passion that she started to enjoy math.
Parents with math anxiety should still support their kids as the kids work on math homework, though. But they should know helping kids with schoolwork requires more than just going over facts and concepts. Parents should help kids look for ways to have fun with math, like playing math-based games. When kids have difficulty in learning, encourage them to bravely face it but don’t make them nervous.
What can students do if they’re already nervous about math? Maloney says, “ My earlier study showed that students who wrote about their fears of math for 7 to 10 minutes before taking a math test performed better on that test. After the writing process，many students said their fears weren’t such a big deal. ”
【1】The 438 kids’ parents were asked to present ______ .
A．their attitudes to school education
B．their opinions on kids’ math ability
C．their ways to solve kids’ math anxiety
D．their math anxiety levels in their daily life
【2】What result did Maloney’s team report in Psychological Science?
A．Kids are more likely to be afraid of math.
B．Some parents pay little attention to their kids’ study.
C．Kids can pick up negative thoughts about math from their parents.
D．Parents should help with their kids’ homework as little as possible.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “ balk at ” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Enjoy.
B．Avoid.
C．Learn.
D．Understand.
【4】What advice would Maloney probably give to students on their math anxiety?
A．Working closely with their math teachers.
B．Seeking help during their learning process.
C．Sparing some time to go over their notes daily.
D．Removing math anxiety by admitting it to themselves.
24、Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country’s highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown material. It is blocking cars from both directions.
What is causing the mess? Milk chocolate. The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge truck carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned. Chocolate spilled out. It spread across six driveways of Poland’s A2 highway.
The liquid chocolate solidified（凝固）as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. The accident happened near the western Polish town of Slupca. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire fighters of Slupca. He told the Associated Press that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow”.
