26、I live in New York city and my neighbours are people I don’t know. My city, neighborhood and block are filled with people who don’t know me, don’t care to know me, and don’t talk to me. I find that it’s pretty hard to love people you don’t even know. And sometimes, we all, myself included, use that as an excuse not to try. I read Brendan’s story recently and was moved.
One day, Brendan, a young man in New York was on the way back to his Brooklyn apartment when a homeless woman called Jackie asked him for money. He said that he had no money. By the end of the week, she asked two more times, and each time he answered “No”. The woman looked sad, so Brendan said, “I am on my way to a job interview. If I get the job, I’ll take you out for lunch.”
Brendan got the job. He took Jackie out for lunch. That was when their friendship began. They built a strong friendship by supporting each other and spending their birthdays, holidays and difficult times together, over a period of eight years. When Brendan’s heater broke, Jackie made a blanket for him. Two days later when he told her that he had lost his job, she left and returned minutes later, bring him food to eat. She continued to do that during the whole winter. Even with so little, she often gave back.
Over these years, Jackie moved from the streets and subway stations into a halfway house, and is now moving into an apartment. To celebrate it, Brendan wanted to do something special for Jackie. He went with her and helped her to pick out everything she would need for her new apartment.

27、 On April 20, people around the world celebrated the United Nations Chinese Language Day. To mark the occasion, the UN Office organized the first Chinese Language Video Festival.
People from 27 countries took part in the one-hour special event. 【1】 Over 340 videos told touching stories about a civilized (文明的), modern and youthful China through their personal experiences in the country.
Though some people find the language difficult to learn, most find it’s worth it. Learning Chinese gave them a better understanding of the culture. “【2】 If you know this language, you know the culture and mind of the people.”
【3】 Tones (音调) are important because a lot of Chinese characters sound similar or even the same. And the tone changes their meaning. It’s the variety that sets Chinese apart from others.
To remember Chinese characters, you can connect them with pictures and make some short stories. 【4】 For example, the Chinese character for ‘tea’ has some lines of grass, the roof of a house and people drinking tea.
Learning any language comes with benefits, particularly for those who are always looking to learn more. There are some languages that have “loan-words” from Chinese. 【5】
A．Learning Chinese is not just learning a language.
B．There is no doubt that Chinese characters are beautiful.
C．Language is the bridge that connects people everywhere.
D．So it may be easier for one to pick them up after studying Chinese.
E．Some people find it’s important to use imagination when learning Chinese.
F．The language itself is unique, especially considering its pronunciation features.
G．They share their love for the Chinese language and culture through short videos.
28、The Health Benefits of Gardening
Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. 【1】
Reduces loneliness
Gardening connects people. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. 【2】 Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and gardeners are no different. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.
【3】
Gardening is a great activity to do with children. Children can learn about nature and wildlife. Gardening can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources and the importance of using them carefully.
Vitamin D
【4】 This means you are getting Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies use calcium. That is necessary to keep bones strong. Vitamin D also helps us fight diseases.
Exercise
When you garden you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening — bending, twisting, stretching and lifting — work small muscles in the body. And you can easily get a good work out when you are digging holes or pulling weeds.
Brain health
Gardening may help your brain stay young. Activities such as gardening use many repeated actions, such as weeding or dead-heading (removing dying flowers from a plant). 【5】 The brain is still active but not in the same way that it is, say, when we use computers. In our technology-filled lives, gardening offers a chance to unplug. You cannot hold a phone or other electronic devices when your hands are filled with dirt.
A．Gardening can be a great teacher.
B．But it also gives us many health benefits.
C．Harvests from gardening are organic food.
D．These actions have a calming effect on the brain.
E．So it is a perfect time to socialize with your neighbors.
F．When you are in your garden, you might feel the sunshine on your skin.
G．Gardening can also give you the feeling that you have done something good.
29、Despite not being documented by researchers since 1968, the sengi(象鼩), a tiny big-eyed mouse with a long tail and a trunk-like nose that’s native to Somalia, was rediscovered living in well-preserved habitat in neighboring Djibouti this year, and in quite healthy numbers.
An exploration beginning in 2019 looked to use local knowledge about the sengi from the people of Djibouti who said it was still there. Sure enough, it took only one trap filled with coconut, peanut butter and yeast to find the little guy.
“It was surprising,” said Steven Heritage, a research scientist at Duke University in the US. “When we opened the first trap and saw the little tuft of hair on the tip of its tail, we just looked at one another and couldn’t believe it. A number of small mammal(哺乳动物)surveys since the 1970s did not find the Somali sengi in Djibouti — it was indeed a serendipitous discovery.”
One of the least understood members of the 20 species-strong elephant shrew genus(象鼩属), the sengi lives in habitats that are unsuitable for most human activities, allowing it to remain relatively undisturbed and safe.
“Usually when we rediscover lost species, we find just one or two individuals and have to act quickly to try to prevent their extinction,” said Robin Moore, of the Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) group.
The team set 1,000 traps and caught 12 of the little shrews while making the first video and photographic documentation of the animal for science. Along with rediscovering the species, the team gathered DNA samples(样本)which later showed the Somali sengi to be more closely related to sengis in other corners of Africa like Morocco and South Africa.
This finding has suggested that the Somali sengi needs to be placed in a new genus — moving from Elephantulus to Galegeeska.
Like all great discoveries in science, the questions answered are only equal to the new mysteries presented, but the researchers’ work has highlighted Djibouti as a biodiverse(具有生物多样性的)nation worthy of scientific study. With any luck, perhaps more discoveries are waiting to be made among its desert and salt lakes.
【1】What made the finding of the Somali sengi special?
A．It was rediscovered by Somalis.
B．It looked surprisingly different.
C．It reappeared in Africa after more than 50 years.
D．It had become smart enough to avoid being trapped.
【2】What does the underlined word “serendipitous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Unrealistic.
B．Professional.
C．Accidental.
D．Individual.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．How the Somali sengi manages to survive.
B．Why the Somali sengi can live peacefully.
C．How human activities affect the Somali sengi.
D．What environment the Somali sengi should live in.
【4】How did the team know the relationships between the Somali sengi and other sengis?
A．By doing DNA tests for them.
B．By studying their living habits.
C．By comparing their appearances.
D．By studying documents about them.
