25、A kid hero
“If you could have any three things, what would you want?”
Eleven-year-old Ruby Chitsey loves asking that question, but it's not a game she plays. She asks the seniors (老年人) at nursing homes in Arkansas where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make their wishes come true.
Ruby has long been close to the elders. Her mother has worked in nursing homes for many years. Ruby often stays with her in summer and asks the seniors if they need anything.
Last May, Ruby noticed an old lady named Pearl staring (凝视) out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner. Ruby asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn't allow the seniors to have dogs and Pearl couldn't afford to pay anyone to look after her dog. Ruby also heard many stories about Pearl's friends there and found that they were unable to afford life costs. That was when she decided to do something about it.
She started by asking the seniors what three things they wanted most in the world. Her mother worried that people would ask for cars and other things that an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate, fries, and even just pants that fit properly.
“I felt really upset,” Ruby says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many things as we could.”
Using their own money, Ruby and her mother helped about 100 people in three months. Then, they started asking for donations (捐款). The good people in Arkansas strongly supported them, so Ruby and her mother set up a GoFundMe page—Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents. After GoFundMe named Ruby a Kid Hero and spread her story internationally, Three Wishes raised more than $ 250, 000 in five months. One of Ruby's new goals is to set up a shared computer in one nursing home in each state.
Ruby doesn't plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
【1】What did Ruby do for the seniors at nursing homes in Arkansas?

【3】According to the passage, which word best describes Ruby?

26、To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct, but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word “relevant”.
A .相关的 B.有趣的 C. 最新的 D.正确的
【2】According to the writer, newspapers in Wuxi should talk about news in ________.
A. Hong Kong B. Wuxi C. Shanghai D. Beijing
【3】Which of the following is true?
A. A small mistake can’t get a newspaper into trouble.
B. A lot of people like reading about news from last week.
C. The passage doesn’t tell us who was the first man to go into space.
D. People are mostly interested in news that happens far away from them.
27、 Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’ve decided to take action, read the following first.
S is for specific: For example, instead of setting a goal of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.
M is for measurable: Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.
A is for achievable: If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.
R is for relevant: Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.
T is for time-conscious: Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.
【1】According to the passage, the writer tells us how to_______.
A.lose weight B.take exercise
C.set a goal D.spend time
【2】What does the word “SMART” mean in the passage?
A.Five exercise plans. B.Five suggestions.
C.Five training steps. D.Five big letters.
【3】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

B.You should begin with small steps while achieving a goal.
C.In order to make the goal fit for you, you should be careful.
D.More time should be given for you to achieve your goal.
