26、What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.

A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”

There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”

Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website.

Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or, visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

27、“Let’s go outside and water the plants,” urged Fiona, my energetic 4-year-old granddaughter, during a recent visit from Maryland to my New Jersey home.

Fiona and I filled our watering cans. Out we went and I walked directly to the newly-planted begonias (秋海棠). “No, Granny, what about the grass and that tree?” Fiona insisted, pointing to the sycamore tree (悬铃木) that decorated a patch of earth between the sidewalk and the street, typically cared for by the town.

Through Fiona’s eyes, the begonias, the grass and the tree were all equal in nature’s esteem, all worthy of attention and care. At first, I didn’t want to deny my red begonias preferential treatment. I thought that the rain or the town would tend to the grass and the tree.

Even so, I turned and joined in Fiona’s universal watering party. Thanks to Fiona, I saw how the grass and the sycamore tree could assume their rightful place, equal to the begonias. I wondered if I sincerely accept all of nature and all people with an open mind and heart. My time with Fiona inspired me to doubt myself since I couldn’t even apply my equalitarian beliefs to a tree, grass and flowers.

I paused and reflected on unspoken prejudice, the tendency for stereotyped (模式化的) thoughts to pass automatically through our minds. Studies on unspoken prejudice show that sorting people, nature and objects into categories is a natural phenomenon. Rarely do we question it. Instead, we may assume, quite wrongly, that some people are less worthy, less valuable or, worse, hateful and dangerous.

【1】What did Fiona want the author to do when they were out?

A．Clean a patch of earth for the town.

B．Tell her more about the sycamore tree.

C．Water the begonias, the grass and the sycamore tree.

D．Help make the sidewalk and the street more attractive.

【2】How did the author feel about Fiona’s suggestion at first?

A．Supportive.

B．Curious.

C．Uncertain.

D．Uninterested.

【3】What made the author take a fresh look at the grass, the tree and the begonias?

A．They received the same attention and care.

B．They were found in Maryland by Fiona.

C．They were all close to the neighborhood.

D．They were all typically cared for by the town.

【4】What can we infer about unspoken prejudice from the last paragraph?

A．It is what fools use for reason.

B．It pushes people to think about what goes wrong.

C．It is the original form of prejudice.

D．It often leads to unfairness.

29、Twenty-three states require high schoolers to take the subject, and more could join them in an effort to boost the next generation’s financial literacy (理财素养). The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to tick higher in 2021, and another state—Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, a law has been passed to require students to take a course in personal finance before graduating.

“Financial concerns have been heightened by the Covid-19 pandemic (大流行病), and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with continual worries about burdensome student debt levels and shaky retirement security, have created a stronger case for making personal money skills a priority for high schoolers, who are soon to make decisions about college loans or finding a job,” an advocate for financial literacy said.

Financial literacy—a knowledge of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment—is generally low among American young adults, according to a recent report from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America Institute. Two-thirds of Generation Z, members born between 1997 and 2012, for example, couldn’t correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.

“The pandemic has shown a critical need for the average American to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance. “State-level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements,” Mr. Ranzetta said, “and dozens of proposals have been presented to the law-making bodies in the government. It’s uncertain how many will become law, but a requirement in a large state like Florida is likely to propel other states’ efforts.” He also said,“There will be a FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) effect.”

【1】What makes financial literacy necessary for high schoolers?

A．The risk of retiring in debt.

B．The need to hunt for satisfying jobs.

C．The financial pressure of a college education.

D．The financial worries worsened by the pandemic.

【2】The author mentions Generation Z in paragraph 3 as an example ______.

A．to encourage American people to save money

B．to emphasize the importance of financial support

C．to persuade the younger generation out of investing

D．to show the lack of financial literacy among young adults

【3】Which can best replace the word “propel” in the last paragraph?

A．Combine.

B．Promote.

C．Waste.

D．Require.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The pandemic has had a bad effect on the economy in the USA.

B．The government should pass laws to fight against the rising inflation.

C．Learning about personal money matters has been a burden for students.

D．Personal finance are being brought to the classroom for the next generation.
