26、 For the last eight years, Jo Meade rode her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes. It took more than an hour each way. Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.
That was the “before” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.
Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman, to ask about a car priced $ 1,000. That wasn’t enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn’t say how much the car cost, but the value is about $ 4,000.
Arnold said he was motivated by Meade’s work ethic (职业道德) to help. “I see a lot of hardworking people but that’s when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?” he said.
Meade’s boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. “She’s willing to ride the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her to.”
Meade said she was planning to buy a car, “but I haven’t been able to afford it,” she said. “Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this.”
【1】What can we learn about Jo Meade’s work?
A.It’s free but low-paid. B.It’s time-consuming on the road.
C.It’s competitive and high-paid. D.It’s not worth her devotion.
【2】Why did Slaght disagree to Arnold’s buying a car priced $ 1,000?
A.The car was not in good condition of driving.
B.The car was too expensive for Meade.
C.The car was beyond Arnold’s affordability.
D.The car had been donated to another person.
【3】What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade?
A.Her devotion to work. B.His duty as a policeman.
C.His sympathy for Meade. D.Her desire for a better life.
【4】What’s Meade’s feeling for the donated car?
A.Normal. B.Embarrassed.
C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.

28、 Pre-school teacher Rosa Ramirez has a special way of asking her students to line up for playtime outside. “Pueden pararse si llevan puesto algo de color amarillo, como una abeja,” she tells them. In English, Ramirez would say, “You can stand up if you are wearing yellow—like a bee.” But this is the half of the school day in which she teaches completely in Spanish.
Students are not confused by her language choice. Most of the four-year-olds wearing yellow stand up as instructed. The pre-school bilingual program at Gates Street Early Education Center in Lincoln Heights is part of a growing number of bilingual education models in California and across the country. Many of them are designed to serve students from Spanish-speaking families, as well as students from other cultures, under growing evidence that learning two languages can help people from all backgrounds become stronger students.
About 3.8 million students in U.S. schools are native Spanish speakers who are not good at English. They make up a large part of about five million students nationwide identified as English language learners. English language learners are the fastest-growing population in schools and the lowest-performing, as judged by achievement tests and graduation rates. Sixty-seven percent of students with limited English skills graduated from high school after four years in 2016, compared with 84% of all students.
Language experts recommend how to improve the situation: more high-quality, long-term bilingual programs can close the achievement gap between English learners and native English Speakers after five to six years, according to research.
The programs can be hard to put into practice. Problems include a debate over the best way to teach English learners, shortages of bilingual teachers, and even the fact that bilingual programs often grow fastest in areas where upper-income parents ask for them. That’s good for children who participate, but it worries people who want to see language-minority students have equal access.
“If we can make children feel more ready and more accepted, then we’ve gone a long way to making them ready to learn, ” says Tara Fortune, an expert in children education.
【1】How do the pre-school children react after hearing Rosa Ramirez's words?
A.They all stand up and try to catch bees.
B.Most children in yellow stand up as she asks.
C.They are all happy to wear new yellow clothes.
D.A large number of the children are confused.
【2】What is the purpose of bilingual education models in America?
A.To help students from other cultures study.
B.To help students learn as many languages as they can.
C.To make English popular among students abroad.
D.To make students from other backgrounds physically stronger.
【3】What is the situation of students who are native Spanish speakers, according to the passage?
A.They make up a small share of English language learners.
B.Sixteen percent of them fail to graduate every year on average.
C.They perform relatively poorly in studies.
D.84% of them can graduate with good scores.
【4】What is the bilingual program like?
A.It is not accepted by rich families from other cultures.
B.It is not a good thing if it lasts for the whole life of students.
C.It is common in schools with students from different backgrounds.
D.It is hard to introduce especially with language-minority students.

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
