21、“Every child has a great curiosity about something they love,”said Carolyn King, a doctor in Grand Rapids, Michigan. King, who once studied at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, is the co-founder of a yearly event called Reach Out to Youth (ROTY).
Wayne State has held the event since 1989, which lets kids ages 7 to 11 experience science and medicine in an interesting way.
“We’re here to help distinguish future scientists and future physicians,” said Richard Baker, director of Medical Education at Wayne State.
Diamond Moore, a medical student and the leading organizer of ROTY planned a special but interesting day for attendees. Exhibits included a room where you could see a brain, heart, and some other parts of our body, and a room where you could test your reflexes (反射动作). Wayne State teachers and medical students, including Moore, shared their knowledge of medical science with kids.
“This program wants kids to learn about science, arts, and the health care system,” Moore said, so that hopefully, they’ll become interested in medicine.
Some of the students were excited about the chance to tour the exhibits and learn more about medicine-related jobs. “A doctor would be a cool job,” said first-time attendee Desiree Anders.
Jeremiah Tower, an 11-year-old from Detroit, said that learning about science and things about the body was what the program was all about. Still, he wasn’t excited about having to get up early on a Saturday morning.
This year’s theme was “Play It Safe: Brain Safety.” After seeing what a brain looks like up close, young attendees learned about the danger of concussions (脑震荡). A fun test was given about brain safety so that kids could see how much they had learned.
About 350 kids take part in the program each year. It’s a great way to get an idea of what it feels like to be a doctor.
【1】What can we learn about ROTY?
A.It is open to kids of all ages.
B.It educates kids in a fun way.
C.It is held on a Saturday afternoon.
D.It helps kids learn more about others.

22、Moving to a new neighborhood,town,state,or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids at your new school.
The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However,as you begin the moving process,keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house,school,and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent!If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long time,don’t despair.
Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also,thanks to the Internet,it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent’s permission,you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle(记载) all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts,tales of your new adventures,even pictures of new friends,your new house,and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.
Many schools have an orientation(培训) program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.
While moving is tough on kids of any age,high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens .“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience,especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases,and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment(怨气).”However,Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy,there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you deal with the change.

23、We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention. Advertisers, politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them. 【1】 Propaganda is not always a bad thing, but it often hides the truth about a topic. Its very similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something, while propaganda is to change what people believe.
Propaganda Techniques

People want to be on the side in the favor. 【2】, Some propaganda is based on fear. It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action, which might not be bad. Anti—smoking campaigns are one example. They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke, they will get cancer.
【3】
Propaganda is used by many groups, such as businesses, politicians and the government .It is spread through posters, television and radio. The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world.
Types of Propaganda
Political propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians 【4】People have used it for many years. War propaganda began during World War I, more than 100 years ago.
To see if propaganda is saying the truth, people need to do extra work. For example, ads might always sound like they're true. But before you believe them, try to think about who created and paid for them. Find out why they did it. 【5】

24、Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.
【1】What’s the probable function of the first paragraph?

A.They are optimistic about the children’s disease.
B.They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas.
C.They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties.
D.They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The details about the year-long journey.
B.The keen anticipation of Mia about the future.
C.The changes of the kids physically and mentally.
D.The impression Mia had of what she had experienced.
【4】Which is the best title of the story?

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money or food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was standing there with a huge box of food and even some pans to cook it in. The stranger announced, “I’m here because a friend of yours knows you’re in need and that you wouldn’t accept direct help, so I’ve brought this for you. Have a great Thanksgiving.”
Obviously that experience had a great impact on my life. I promised myself that someday I would do well financially so that I could do the same thing. By the time I was 18, I had created my Thanksgiving routine. I would go out shopping and buy enough food for one or two families. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the poorest neighborhood and just knock on a door. I have received more from this than I have from any amount of money I’ve ever earned.
Several years ago, I was in New York City with my wife during Thanksgiving. When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited. I said, “Let’s go someplace where we can really appreciate who we are. How about Harlem?” Some of my colleagues also joined us.
I suggested we start by getting a van (面包车) to drive us to Harlem. We tried waiting by the light, went over and knocked on the window and the driver would roll it down, and I’d say, “Today is Thanksgiving. Would you be willing to drive us to Harlem to feed some people?” Every time the driver would look away quickly and pull away without saying anything.
Eventually we got better at asking. We’d say, “Today is Thanksgiving. We’d like to help some less fortunate people, and we’re curious if you’d be willing to drive us to an area in our mind.” That seemed slightly more effective but still didn’t work. Then we started offering people $100 to drive us. That got us even closer, but when we told them to take us to Harlem, they said no and drove off.
