21、Math class usually requires a pencil and a calculator. At Loveland High School, students also need a hammer and a hard hat. Every year, about 150 students sign up for “Geometry in Construction.” Students, usually seniors, learn math concepts in the classroom, and then use that knowledge to build a small home.
“We basically started this because we knew what was currently going on was not working for all kids," said teacher Scott Burke, one of the founders of the program. "We really felt like we needed to create a model that was a little bit different, something that not only helped kids in standardized testing, but also gave them employable skills as well."
It was a decade ago when Burke started teaching the program. The students’ first project was a small, one-bedroom cabin for a private buyer. Over time, Loveland High School started a partnership with Habitat for Humanity and built several homes for low-income families. For the first time this year, students built tiny homes that will help house locals who don't have a proper place to live in.
Loveland High School also offers courses to older students who have completed the geometry program. Senior Haley Hansen is now helping supervise （监管）the current construction site and learning management skills. Hansen, who said she first chose to study on the program to hopefully learn math in an easier way, grew to love it more than she imagined. "A big reason I stuck with this program is really because of the community aspect. I actually get to be a part of the community and feel like, as a high schooler, I am making an impact. Being able to help a family in need is something life-changing for me," said Hansen.
Now, Burke's teaching other schools how to build similar math classes. He said the Loveland Geometry in Construction team has trained about 425 schools around the country in how to copy the program. Some are building houses; others are building smaller projects like cabins.
【1】What is a goal of the Geometry in Construction program?
A．To prepare students for their future work.
B．To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
C．To build some new classrooms.
D．To test students in a new model.
【2】Who did the students build homes for this year?
A．The local homeless.
B．Private buyers.
C．Workers of Habitat for Humanity.
D．Families on very low incomes.
【3】Why did Hansen come to love the program?
A．It improved her math score rapidly.
B．It inspired her social responsibility.
C．It enabled her to understand other people.
D．It made her treasure her present life.
【4】What is Burke busy doing at present?
A．Teaching his students to build cabins.
B．Designing a new math program.
C．Training new teachers for his school.
D．Spreading the idea of their program.
22、In United States history, only four presidents have ever been assassinated (暗杀). While any death causes misery, the death of a president is extremely painful as it affects the lives of millions. After the killing of Abraham Lincoln, the country was in a state of social disorder.
On April 14th, 1865, actor John Wilkes Booth gathered his group together. Before they parted, Booth reminded them of their missions for the night: former Confederate prisoner of war Lewis Powell was to kill Secretary of State William Seward, George Azterodt was to shoot Vice President Andrew Johnson, and David Herold was to help the actor in his getaway. And Booth was to murder Lincoln. Booth had learned of Lincoln’s upcoming visit to Ford’s Theater to watch Our American Cousin only days before and was eager to murder Lincoln. In the past, Booth had thought about killing Lincoln. Booth considered Lincoln’s trip to the theater as the perfect opportunity to carry out his plan.
That night, Lincoln and his wife Mary arrived merrily at Ford’s Theater and were seated in a top balcony. During a very noisy part of the play, Booth slipped into the president’s box and fired a gun into the back of Lincoln’s head. Moments later, Booth jumped onto the stage and shouted, “Sic Semper Tyrannis,” the Virginia state motto meaning “Thus ever to tyrants (暴君)!”At first, the crowd thought the unfolding drama to be part of the production. However, upon hearing Mary’s shocking screams, the audience realized they had witnessed a violent action.
Although Booth broke his leg in the fall, he managed to leave the theater and escape from Washington on horseback. Soon, Charles Leale, a 23-year-old doctor found the president in his chair, struggling to breathe. A few soldiers carried Lincoln to a house across the street and placed him on a bed. When the surgeon general arrived at the house, he concluded that Lincoln could not be saved and would die during the night.
Many reasons motivated Booth to assassinate the president. Most importantly, Booth opposed nearly all of Lincoln’s political views; he blamed Lincoln for the collapse of the Confederacy (美国南部邦联的瓦解) and the emancipation (解放) of slaves.
【1】【1】David Herold’s mission was to .
A. kill William Seward B. help Booth get away
C. shoot Andrew Johnson D. murder Abraham Lincoln
【2】【2】The audience knew something terrible had happened when .
A. they heard Mary’s screams B. they heard Booth’s words
C. Booth fired at Lincoln D. Booth jumped onto the stage
【3】【3】On the night Lincoln was murdered, Booth .
A. got away by car B. escaped uninjured
C. was killed in the theater D. successfully left the theater
【4】【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How Booth was found. B. Booth’s political views.
C. Why Booth hated Lincoln. D. Lincoln’s main achievements.

24、Ways to protect eyes from screens
Too much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳) and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.
Get regular eye tests
Experts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测) problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. 【1】 Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.
Give your eyes space
【2】 Studies on computer-related eye strain suggest that screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face. If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.
Take breaks
This may not always be practical if you're quite busy, but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. 【3】 While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.
【4】
Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule” — looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. 【5】
A．Exercise your eyes.
B．Give your eyes a chance to rest.
C．Make your screen more eye-friendly.
D．Studies show it's an effective way to reduce tiredness.
E．You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.
F．The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus.
G．Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.
