21、 One devoted man is helping to make sure that children with poor living conditions won't go hungry during the school day.
Mary’s Meals, an organization founded in 2002 by Scottish farmer Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow, provides needy kids in 12 countries with free meals at school each weekday. The group's aim is to ensure that students have food in their stomachs so they can better fix their attention on the study in class.
Macfarlane-Barrow, who runs Mary’s Meals on his father's farm, told CNN that the entire operation started with a conversation he had with a teen living in a poor state. He said, 'In 2002, I was in Malawi during a year of terribly short of food, and I met this family — the father had died, and the mother was dying with her six children around her. I began talking to her oldest child, Edward, who was about 14, and asked him, 'What are your hopes? 'And he said, 'I'd like to have enough food to eat, and I'd like to go to school one day. '' And that was it.
In its first year, the group fed 200 children in need. Since that time, it has made rapid progress. Last month, Mary's Meals fed more than one million children every school day. That was 5 million meals every week. 'The million is amazingly important, but we are far from satisfied. Our work's just beginning. We’ve proved that this works, and now we've just thinking about the next child, ' said Macfarlane-Barrow.
He and the group recently celebrated the achievement in Malawi, where the program began. So far, the program has had very good results. In Malawi, schools that carried out the Mary's Meals program saw a 24 percent increase in the number of new students within the first six months.

22、In intense summer heat, a Nevada bus driver's quick thinking to help an elderly passenger this week was a simple reminder that a little kindness can go a long way.
Bus driver Mike Blair noticed an old man who looked to be so suffering in what he said was about 105-degree heat, and he decided to get out and help.
“This gentleman would not board the bus,” he said. “He seemed like he started to grasp the wall and seemed to be in pain.”
After Blair helped him board the bus, he placed the man next to the air conditioner before reaching into his lunch box to offer a cool bottle of water. After about 10 minutes, the elderly man was back on his feet and on his way.
“He got off the bus and said, ‘Thank you.’ As he got off, he said, ‘Simply amazing!’” Blair said.
Blair was not aware that someone documented what he called “Just a small act of kindness”, until his employer Keolis as well as the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) reached out to him. Keolis threw the bus driver a small party and even framed the photo posted to Twitter-a social networking service—for him to have.
“I guess I have to learn how to do Twitter, huh?” Blair joked, adding that anyone would have done what he did.
“Well, maybe this will touch people's hearts so they will do something kind as well,” he said.
Keolis, which is equipping its drivers with 10,000 bottles of water this summer, trains its drivers to spot signs of dehydration (脱水).
【1】Why did the old man fail to get on the bus in the beginning?
A．He hurt his feet.
B．He didn't feel well.
C．He was waiting for someone.
D．He lost something beside the wall.
【2】What contributed most to the old man's improving condition?
A．The first aid.
B．The timely lunch.
C．The cool water.
D．The supporting wall.
【3】How did Keolis get to know Blair's story?
A．Through the Internet.
B．Through the RTC’s report.
C．From the old man's statement.
D．From the bus company's party.
【4】How did Keolis like Blair's deed?
A．It was his duty.
B．It deserved recognition.
C．It was just a small act of kindness.
D．It was an ordinary person's reaction.
23、The lifestyle of a college learner or someone taking a graduate course gets even busier at higher academic level as compared to that of a high school student. What everyone assume is that college life is supposed to be fun with a rich social life. However, all the bustle and hustle (熙熙攘攘 ) often leaves less time. 【1】 How can you ensure that doesn't happen and involve a healthy lifestyle into your daily routine?
Due to the high expectation placed on students, many experience high levels of pressure. 【2】 Continuous heavy workload eventually leads to depression, anxiety, inability to concentrate, and an increase in risky behavior. In that case, nowadays, students can get help with their assignments from their tutors or advisers.
【3】 Although it ' an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, even students who make it a New Year wish often give up on the goal. A workout partner comes in to keep you accountable, offer companionship and give you the push you need to make physical activity part of your routine. It's fun to work out with someone else with similar goals. 【4】
If you frequently over commit, you will eventually spend less time on things that really matter. After all, you are in school to learn, so attending classes, and completing assignments on time has to be your priority. The remaining few hours is for socializing or engaging in fun. If you find yourself saying yes to every invitation for fear of disappointing your friends, you will find yourself dealing with burn out. 【5】
A．A healthy lifestyle concerns some other aspects.
B．An unhealthy body increases the risk of diseases.
C．So don't promise too much and plan your time wisely.
D．It also gives you a chance to socialize away from the school environment.
E．Consequently, a healthy lifestyle takes a back seat, causing diseases and stress.
F．Working out regularly can be a struggle for most students with a busy schedule.
G．In fact, academic stress has become a lifestyle crisis affecting students at all academic levels.
24、Create New Ideas and Boost Creativity
Sometimes it can feel like our creative process is being stifled by the world around us. Here are several ways to encourage your own creative thoughts.
Get your creative juices flowing by doing something you love. If you find that haying a bath is the best bit of your week, then turn the taps on and light a candle or two. If you do something you love, you're likely to relax and let the best ideas come to you naturally. 【1】. However, it’s actually one of the best ways of creating an environment where inspiration and new ideas appear.
Work with someone else to start problem solving. Find creative people who can come up with problem solving solutions or help you come up with novel ideas. 【2】 As a result, it can in turn encourage creative thought processes and different thinking.
【3】 We all know exercising can help encourage creative ideas—and for good reason. Increasing blood flow to your brain through exercise can help you complete creative tasks by helping to inspire new ideas.
Give yourself psychological distance. Giving yourself psychological distance also gives your brain time to process all the information and ideas you’ve already had or received. If you’ve been struggling to find inspiration and pushing yourself to gel off social media and do your best work, it might be time to get out of the work zone and escape for a while. 【4】
Push yourself outside of your comfort zone. 【5】, for example, working on your creative project somewhere that you don’t usually do, or it can be something huge like going to New York and working with American professionals in your industry.
A．Do some physical activity
B．You can do something small
C．It may get you trapped inside
D．Try not to think about them at all
E．They can inspire you to think differently
F．It will be stressful to be with them together
G．People tend to see self-care as a selfish act
