26、 If you happened to be at the recent National Senior Games in Albuquerque last June, it’s likely that you would have found an extremely enthusiastic group of 19 people, all wearing bright yellow T-shirts that read “Blossom at 85” on one side and "Gammy’s Groupies" on the other. “That’s my team,” says Andrea Harrison, speaking about the family and friends there to cheer her on. Harrison is certainly blossoming at 85—so much so that she walked away with gold in the 800 meters with a time of 6'24" and silver in the 5K, finishing in 43'1'.
“People often tell me that they’re inspired by my running and they are encouraged to do more to stay active because of it. ” Harrison says. “I feel like this is my job and my purpose now, to get people moving, no matter what their ages are.”
She even has a presentation she gives at community centers and schools, centering on how beneficial running and exercise can be on emotional heath as well as physical health. Calling it “Motion Over Disturbance;” she says it emphasizes how the motion of movement takes away the disturbance in your head, clearing away all those little worries and bothers of everyday life.
Harrison also likes to tell her audiences that she’s a late bloomer when it comes to running. She started when she was 50 years old, and only because of her sons, then a junior in high school, wanted to be on a track team. So the two of them ran around the parking lot of the school.
Now running 11 miles a week, she calms the “excitement” in her mind by spending her time praying for family members as she runs, particularly for her twin sister who has dementia （痴呆）. But of course she also includes her 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
There are often strangers approaching her after races to congratulate her on a win-she jokes that there “aren’t too many old ladies” for competition. “They say, ‘If you can run like this, I should be running,’ ” she says. “And I say ‘Well, go ahead. What are you waiting for?’”
【1】What is Harrison’s job in her own opinion?
A.Being a member of a track team.
B.Winning gold and silver medals.
C.Encouraging people to run regardless of ages.
D.Giving lectures on the benefits of exercise.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part “bloomer” in Paragraph 4?
A.Competitor. B.Runner.
C.Instructor. D.Achiever.
【3】What is Harrison always doing while running?
A.Listening to some music. B.Missing her family members.
C.Praying to calm down. D.Waiting for the strangers. ,
【4】What can be inferred from the whole text?
A.It’s never too late to learn. B.All that glitters is not gold.
C.To strike while iron is hot. D.Well begun is half done.

28、 A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.
The boy, known only as “Blake” in the letter, wrote, “Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared.”
“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
“I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids,” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?”
The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?”
Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence, posted Blake’s letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child’s wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.

29、 LIANG TAO.sold 80 pink Givenchy bags in 12 minutes.Becky Fang sold 100 Mini Cooper cars in just five.Both are wanghong,literally"red-hot on the web".Every day millions of Chinese search social media for wanghong posts or tune in to live-streams for wanghong's opinions on everything.The fans are helping this new Chinese Internet star to make money out of their popularity and to shake up the country's e-commerce industry in the process.
A few of wanghong have been hired by luxury brands.Jaeger-LeCoultre, a Swiss watchmaker,hired Papi Jiang for a video ad targeting young urbanites(都市人），including her 27m fans on Sina Weibo,a Twitter-like microblog. Zhang Yi of iiMedia Research,a consulting firm,estimates that up to 15%of sales on shopping sites like Taobao or social-media apps such as WeChat are influenced by wanghong's public support.The length of a dress might be decided by a survey of a wanghong's fans;its launch date might be based on the number of hits,shares or comments it collects,some of which can cause last-minute design changes.
This poses a new challenge for retailers(零售商），whose supply chains must respond even more quickly to wanghong's opinions.Whereas previously a company would look for a celebrity to match its image,wanghong and their admirers are shaping goods.
Another challenge comes directly from wanghong themselves.They increasingly make money not merely from online support or advice but by launching their own e-commerce stores.Sales of goods accounted for just under half of wanghong earnings of 53bn yuan($8bn)in 2016,estimates Analysis,a Chinese market-research firm(the rest came mostly from live-show tips and adverts).
Some wanghong are going a step further.In November Becky Fang launched her own clothing line.Part of her motivation,she says,was that the brands she supported did not always match the trends she was sharing with her followers.By creating her own brand,Becky's Fantasy,she has full control of the quality.She also gains a new income. For the time being only 3-5%of wanghong follow Becky Fang's example,iiMedia Research estimates.But it expects the model to become an industry in its own right, including entertainment and e-commerce,and driven by online data..
【1】Why can wanghong use their popularity to make money?
A.Because they are Internet stars.
B.Because they use social media.
C.Because their opinions influence fans..
D.Because they can shake the e-commerce industry.
【2】What is the characteristic of the products supported by wanghong?
A.They are fans-based.
B.They are social-media-based.
C. They are design-shared.
D. They are youth-targeted.
【3】What are the challenges for retailers?
A.Online support and advice.
B.Increasing sales of goods online.
C.Quick responses to the.market changes.
D.Wanghong's opinions and e-commerce stores.
【4】Why do some wanghong create their own brands?
A.Because they want.to attract more fans.
B.Because they want to share with their followers.
C.Because they want to set up a new industry model.
D.Because the brands they speak for can't satisfy their fans.
【5】What's the writer's attitude to wanghong?
A.supportive B.objective
C.indifferent D.worried

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.
The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect!

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.
The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.
