21、Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring.
The teachers at Ward Elementary in Winston –Salem,North Carolina ,picked up on that and traded in their students’desks for exercise bikes as a part of their Read and Ride program!
The Read and Ride program began five years ago.One classroom has enough bikes for every student in any given class,and throughout the day teachers bring in their students to the room to ride them and read their books.
Even regular classrooms have one bike in the back of each room for students who just can’t sit still to use to help them burn energy in a good way.
Students love being more active!Teachers enjoy seeing students eager to read.Parents appreciate stronger,smarter children.Headmasters value this effective and cost-free program.“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated(挫败的)when they read.Thus,they have a way to release that frustration while they ride,”said Scott Ertl,who started the program.“As we can see,everyone wants to promote literacy and lose weight!But many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be the last or lose with others watching on the playground.On exercise bikes,however,students are able to exert(发挥)themselves at their own level—without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break.”
As it turns out,not only are the bikes helping the students burn calories,they’re also helping them learn better and stay focused.At the end of the school year the school analyzed testing data and found that students that spent more time reading and riding did more than twice as well on reading tests than their fellow students who spent the least time in the program.
【1】Why did the teachers start the Read and Ride program?

22、Although May 24 was a working day, thousands of people wearing black went to the Mingyangshan Funeral Home in Hunan province to present flowers and bunches of rice plants to honor Yuan Longping. The top rice scientist, referred to as the “father of hybrid rice”, died of organ failure at age 91 on May 22.
Born in 1930 in Beijing, Yuan witnessed the despair of people who lost their land they lived on in an era of war. So when he applied for university, he decided to study agriculture. But his parents worried it would be tough and tiring. However, Yuan said: “Having enough food was people’s basic needs,” noted People’s Daily. Yuan set out to solve the problem. He began researching hybrid rice in 1964, succeeding in producing the world’s first high-yielding hybrid rice strain in 1973.
More importantly, he was selfless when it came to sharing his research to benefit people globally. To date, his hybrid rice strain has been planted in large areas of India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, the US and Brazil. “Professor Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame or praise, instead focusing only on hard work and results that could help remove poverty and lift people out of hunger,” Kenneth M. Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation, told China Daily.
Yuan could make such achievements partly because he believed in the power of science as a harvest multiplier, noted People’s Daily.
The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs mourned his passing on Twitter, saying, “Yuan passed away today at 91 but his mission to end hunger lives on.”

23、 There is a lot of “fake(假的) news” on the Internet. A new study shows that many young people in the United States have a hard time telling “real” from “fake” news. Fake news is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an article that may look just like any other news article, except that it’s not true, Unfortunately, many people can’t tell the differences
Young people, especially are likely to be fooled by fake news, according to a study done by the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG). The study asked 7.804 students in the United States to judge articles on Facebook. Twitter, blogs, and readers’ comments on websites. They tested students in three age levels: middle school, high school and university.
According to Stanford University’s website, “Students in middle school were asked to explain why they might not believe an article about money that was written by a bank manager. The researchers found that many students did not think of who writes the article as the key reason for being suspicious about the article. And they didn’t have much interest in the writers.”
Other students were asked to look at articles on a website, and try to make it clear whether the articles were news stories or advertisements. Even when the words “sponsored(赞助的) content” were on the article, some students said they believed it was a “real” news article.
The study also found that university students decided whether to believe a website on the basis of is look. They would think the website was good and they were more likely to believe the articles on it if it looked attractive, especially the ones with beautiful pictures.
The study was led by Stanford Professor Sam Wineburg. On the Stanford website he said, “My Team will use the research to help teachers beer teach students about how to recognize fake news” So you can spare some time from your busy teaching to go through my next article about his following research.

26、阅读下面文章,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整短文,续写词数应为150左右。
One Saturday morning, I got a call from my aunt. She told me that she had to go with my uncle on a business trip for the day, and she wondered if I could look after my little 6-year-old cousin, Max. I knew that for them, leaving their dearest son for a day was the last thing in the whole world they would do, because they were what is known as “helicopter parents”, who keep watching everything their kids do. As a high school student, I knew exactly that children who were brought up by helicopter parents could end up having many problems and I hoped I could do something to improve the situation, so I accepted her request. Actually, I was honored to be trusted by such parents.
When I arrived there, my aunt and uncle were just ready to go out. The last thing my aunt said to me before they left was “Don’t let him hurt himself while we are away.” She repeated it several times until she thought I took it seriously. After they left, I tried to teach Max to play some games that might be against my aunt’s will, but failed. Max seemed not to be interested, and even frightened. I didn’t want to push him, so I decided to slow it down.
Around lunch time, Max asked me what was for lunch. I said, “I don’t know, what do you want?” He said, “Can you cook scrambled eggs?” I replied, “Of course I can!” “Well,” said Max, “I want some.” I asked him if he could cook. He looked at me in amazement, and said, “Of course not. Mom won’t allow me to approach the kitchen. She thinks I’ll be burnt if I try to do that, but I think it would be amazing to cook what I like on my own.”
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, I had an idea.

Paragraph 2:
When my aunt and uncle returned, they saw Max cooking a dinner in the kitchen.
