21、Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

【3】How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?

22、As an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.
Quite different from English we know, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone” instead of “Charge phone here.” This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.
The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”. “Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.
For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as “ Mee Siam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like “ toilet where” instead of “where’s the toilet” also come from Chinese.
Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors. It even started the Speak Good English Movement.
Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.
But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives credit—they can speak both.
“We are a nation good at code switching—we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we act at work or school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, that’s so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsighted, surely.”
【1】Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?
A. It is highly westernized. B. It is made up of migrants.
C. It is influenced by Chinese. D. It is affected by official languages.
【2】What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?
A. To stop the new trend. B. To better the relationship.
C. To keep the English standard. D. To give the government credit.
【3】What do the young people think of Singlish?
A. It’s their identity. B. It’s interesting.
C. It’s a sign of status. D. It’s a way of code-switching.
【4】What can we learn from what Cheryl said?
A. Different people speak different styles of Singlish.
B. Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.
C. People speaks Singlish only to friends and drivers.
D. People can use Singlish to express themselves well.

24、 Mama Cax, a model and motivational speaker, died in 2019 at the age of 30.
The Haitian-born model’s family took to her Instagram account on Friday to announce the tragic news, revealing that she passed away on Monday, Dec. 16th. The news also reads, “To say that Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life’s challenges directly and successfully. It is with that same grit that she fought her last days on Earth.”
When she was 14, Cax was found to have bone and lung cancers and later had to have her right leg cut off. From then on, she wore an artificial leg for the last 16 years of her life. Mama Cax never lost heart. “I recognize how lucky I am and that many can’t afford medical treatments,” said Cax. “I feel like I’m in a position to make a difference and one day I will be an advocate for people with disabilities.”
In addition to walking the runway in New York’s Fashion Week, Cax was a strong advocate for disabled models. She broke down barriers in the fashion world as a disabled model with a history of fighting difficult health battles.
And she was also a successful blogger with a huge following. She wrote blogs about travel, food and fashion and was an inspiration to many people. “Scars, we can hate them but they remain part of us. They tell the stories of our struggle and survival. They represent the battles we’ve won” said Cax. “As women we were used to letting others judge our worth. My advice to any young woman out there is, to know your worth, figure out what you want, set up a plan and go for it.”
Cax loved sports, especially rock climbing. “I like to challenge myself physically. It is difficult but certainly not impossible,” said Cax. In November, 2019, Cax reached another life goal of hers—to finish the New York City Marathon. She appreciated every moment of life, and lived it with delight.

【4】Which statement might Cax agree with?
