26、 In March 2019, when Sara Cook first got a letter telling her that someone had paid off a part of her medical debt, she thought it was fake. “It seems like one of those e-mails you get saying you have a long-lost uncle and you’ve just inherited two million dollars.” Cook says. Cook called the number listed on the letter and what she learned was that this was not a scam.
A remarkable nonprofit organization called RIP Medical Debt had paid $ 5,000 towards her bills. RIP buys medical debts directly from hospitals at a steep discount, usually paying only a few pennies to retire each dollar of debt. Since 2014, it is estimated that they’ve spent only about $20 million to pay off nearly $1 billion in personal debts. Antic and Ashton, the founders, get their money from individuals and charities that support RIP’s mission. The $5,000 to pay off Cook’s bill was donated by a church in Michigan, which in 2019 raised $53,000, paying off $5 million in debt owed by thousands of people.
Don't bother contacting RIP for help, however. Now, RIP researches potential recipients (接受者) based on three criteria. First, they look for people who make no more than 2.5 times the amount established as the federal poverty level. Then they seek for those whose debt is equal to 5 percent or more of their total income. Third, they look to see whether a person is bankrupt.
For those who do qualify, RIP’s help is life-altering. “After their letter, I realized that my life really wasn’t that awful,” says Cook, who shares her story with anyone who has the willingness to listen. “I may be deprived of the chance to work as a nurse again, but I can sit at the school library and help kid read or serve up food in the soup kitchen. When people do something out of the kindness of their hearts, sometimes they may wonder whether it really makes a difference. I want people to know that this indeed has a positive impact.”
【1】What does the underlined word “scam” probably mean?
A．Payment.
B．Cheat.
C．Reward.
D．Letter.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．Why RIP performs the act of paying off medical debt.
B．Where RIP gets the money for the kindness.
C．How much RIP has paid for people’s medical debt.
D．How RIP carries out the act of paying off people’s debt.
【3】Who are more likely to be the potential recipients of RIP?
A．Those who support RIP’s mission.
B．Those who struggle financially.
C．Those who contact RIP actively.
D．Those who get deadly diseases.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．Goodbye, My Medical Debt

27、If someone has helped you at work, on a project, or with a problem, let them know you appreciate the assistance. 【1】Here are a few tips for writing a thoughtful thank you note.
Write a rough draft.
If you decide to send a handwritten note or card, write a rough draft on a piece of paper.【2】In fact, it’s a good idea to write a rough draft even if you’re typing your thank you note in an e-mail or text. A draft helps you get your thoughts and feelings down on paper before polishing and perfecting them.
【3】
In a thank you note, as in many kinds of writing, it’s a good idea to get right to your point ! Begin your letter with a sentence that states that you are thankful and what you are thankful for. You may start with “Thank you so much for...” and “I am grateful for...”
Be specific.
After you’ve explained what you are grateful for, use details and specific examples to explain why you feel this way. The details here will depend on your unique experience, but the most important part is sharing how the person’s behavior or thoughtfulness made you feel. It’s okay to be brief!【4】
Say thank you again.
【5】You might say “Thank you, again, for your kindness” “I am very grateful to you” or any other expression of thanks that feels most true. Sign off with words such as “Warm Wishes” and “With Gratitude”.
A．Open with a thankful statement.
B．Use a warm greeting.
C．It will make you feel good all over.
D．Close your letter with one final expression of thanks to the reader.
E．In this way, your thank you note won’t have any cross-out on it.
F．Sending a note is a perfect way to express your thanks.
G．A short note can still be specific and sincere.
28、One day a philosophy professor stood before his class and picked up a large empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks, He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. He then added a box of pebbles (鹅卵石)to the jar, shaking it lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" The students said yes.
But then he poured a bag of sand into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.
The professor then opened two cans of beer and poured them into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration .
The professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life: your family, your partner, your health, your children... things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks,"
"The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take care of the rocks first. The else is just sand."

29、In response to the more than 1,500 books challenged to be removed from libraries last year, the New York Public Library (NYPL) launched an effort to make some banned books available for everyone for free.
The initiative is called Books for All and allows any reader aged 13 and older to access commonly banned books through the library’s app until the end of May. There is no wait to access the books and no fines. Typically, access to books at the New York Public Library is only available to New Yorkers with a library card.
“ The recent instances of both attempted and successful book banning — primarily on titles that explore race, religion, and history — are extremely disturbing and amount to an all-out attack on the very foundation of our democracy (民主), ” said Tony Marx, president of the NYPL. “ Knowledge is power. Ignorance is dangerous, breeding hate and division. Since their inception (创始), public libraries have worked to fight against these forces simply by making all perspectives and ideas accessible to all, ” he continued.
The New York Public Library’s efforts were launched on April 13. The books currently available are Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, King and the Dragonflies by Kacen Callender, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds and I bram X. Kendi, and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
Brooklyn Public Library also announced a similar initiative called Books Unbanned for those aged 13-21.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of The 1619 Project and a Brooklyn Public Library board member, said, “ This is such a fantastic move and a model for how other institutions in states that aren’t banning books can help those who live in states. Healthy societies do not ban books. ”
【1】Why did NYPL make some banned books available for everyone for free?
A．Because they were valueless to preserve.
B．Because they were too expensive to purchase.
C．Because they would be removed from libraries.
D．Because president of NYPL wanted to do charity.
【2】What is Marx’s attitude towards banning books?
A．Random.
B．Opposed.
C．Favorable.
D．Indifferent.
【3】What did Nikole Hannah-Jones’ words mean?
A．He wanted to purchase the banned books.
B．He supported the government’s ban on books.
C．He agreed to offer the public the banned books.
D．He thought the banned books are useless to children.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
