26、Yash Gupta has worn glasses for many years. When they broke one day and he was not able to wear them to school (Northwood High School in Irvine, CA), he had a big problem. He could not see much of what was going on in his classroom and, at the end of the day, realized he had learned nothing that day!

Yash quickly got his glasses fixed, but his experience changed his life. He realized that there were probably many kids around the world that did not have proper glasses to help them learn in school.

So he did some research. He found out that there 13 million children around the world don’t have proper glasses to help them see in class. And he learned that not having glasses can cause a 20% loss in learning!

Instead of just shaking his head at this problem, he decided to do something about it. Yash started a small organization, Sight Learning, to help find glasses for other kids and teens that need them.

He created Sight Learning in 2011 and since then he has impacted thousands of young students around the world! Sight Learning’s mission is “to provide eyeglasses to students who need them but cannot afford them.” They have collected and donated over $1,000,000 worth of eyeglasses. This has helped over 20,000 young people in 5 countries to see better!

Yash was honored as a CNN Hero. As Dr. Seuss once said, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Yash is a great example of a young person taking action to not only improve his own life, but those of others.

A．His desire to improve his own life.

28、A team of researchers at ETH Zurich have the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based coating that can turn sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevents them from fogging. The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It uses infrared radiations from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating mainly uses heat to stop fogging. The coating uses a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it warm up to 8 ℃. Before that, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty things, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating prevents water.

Besides, the coating is thinner, which makes it more vitreous and move more easily. It is heated quickly and requires no additional energy source. Gold might be expensive during the day, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs low.

However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does depend on a certain amount of light. The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will study whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to worry about that this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. Hopefully, this pioneering product will soon be sold on the market.

【1】Why does the author mention anti-fogging sprays?

A．To stress the advantages of the new coating.

B．To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.

C．To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging sprays.

D．To explain the reason for anti-fogging sprays being popular.

【2】Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “vitreous” in paragraph 3?

A．Heavy.

B．Dirty.

C．Clear.

D．Cool.

【3】What is the limitation of the new coating?

A．It is very expensive.

B．It is difficult to clean.

C．It depends on light to work.

D．It takes too much time to produce.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the new coating?

A．Worried.

B．Supportive.

C．Doubtful.

D．Uncertain.

29、   Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

【1】David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.

A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

B.he couldn’t stand a clean appearance

C.he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

D.he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes

【2】According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.

B.Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.

C.“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.

D.Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.

【3】According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?

A.Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.

B.Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.

C.A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.

D.All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.

【4】In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage except _______.

A.saving employees’ money

B.making employees more attractive

C.encouraging employees to work harder

D.making employees happier
