21、The notice was posted next to the guests' mailboxes in the apartment building I'd just moved into in Brooklyn, New York. “A Mitzvah for Mrs. Green,” it read. “ Sign up to drive Mrs. G in 3B home from her chemotherapy treatments twice a month.”
Since I wasn't a driver, I couldn't add my name, but the word mitzvah stayed in my thoughts after I went upstairs. It's a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed” .
And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she'd noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. Linda, it's a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you.”
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift? “
A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know, my neighbors; I don't like to disturb others; I feel funny asking for favors. Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, "It's a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school ?
I labored to the bus stop, reaching it just as a bus went by.
Three weeks later, on the night of my final exam, the snow was falling steadily. I made my way to the bus slop. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, "Dear God, how can I get to school? What should I do?
As I pulled Grandma's scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah.
That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn't a soul on the street.
But as I pashed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. She was wearing a brown coal and had a set of keys in her hand. Obviously she had a car, and just as obviously, she was going out. In that split second, desperation overcame pride, I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift? I hurriedly explained, “ I never ask anybody for a lift, but...”
An odd look crossed the woman's face, and I added, "Oh! I live in 4R. I moved in recently. ”
“I know, she said. “I’ve seen you through the window.” Then, without hesitation, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift. Let me get my car key.”
“Your car key?” I repeated. “ Isn't that it in your hand?”
She looked down. “No, no, I was just going to get my mail. I'll be right back.” And she disappeared upstairs, ignoring my “Ma'am! Please! I don't mean to put you out!” I was terribly embarrassed.
But when she came back, she spoke so warmly that I stopped feeling uncomfortable. “You know the way better than I,” she said. "Why don't you drive?”
“ I can’t,” I said. Now I felt uneasy again.
She just laughed and patted me on the hand, saying, “It’s not so important,” and then I laughed, too.
“ You remind me of my grandmother,” I said.
At that, a slight smile crossed her lips. “Just call me Grandma Alice. My grandchildren do.”
When she dropped me off, I thanked her again and again and stood there waving as she drove away. My final exam was a piece of cake compared with the difficult experience I'd gone through to get to it, and asking Grandma Alice for help had relaxed me so that after class I was able to ask easily, “ Is anyone going my way? ” It turned out that while I'd been waiting for a bus every night, three fellow students passed my apartment house. "Why didn't you say something before?" they chorused.
Back home as I walked up the stairs. I passed Grandma Alice leaving her neighbor’s apartment. “ Good night, Mrs. Green. See you tomorrow,” the neighbor was saying.
Mrs. Green, the woman with cancer. “Grandma Alice “ was Mrs. Green.
I stood on the stairs, my hand covering my mouth: I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school. “Oh, Mrs. Green, I stammered, “ I didn't realize who you were. Please forgive me.”
I forced my legs to move me up the stairs. In my apartment, I stood still, not taking my coat off. How could I have been so insensitive? In a few seconds, someone tapped on my door. Mrs. Green stood there.
“May I tell you something?" she asked. I nodded slowly, motioning her toward a chair, sinking down onto my couch. “I used to be so strong.” she said. She was crying. “I used to be able to do things for other people . Now everybody keeps doing things for me, giving me things, cooking my meals and taking me to places where I want to go. It's not that I don't appreciate it, but I don't have chances. Tonight before I went out to get my mail, I prayed to God to let me feel like part of the human race again. Then you came along ...”

22、 Many people may not believe it, but this is what is happening: polar bears are dying out! They are dying because they are losing a great deal of habitat due to human incursion（侵入）and global warming. They are dying because of starvation as well. With the sea ice they depend on for survival shrinking, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to find food.
An ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts, and removing even a single species can result in serious consequences. Polar bears are at the top of the predators（捕食性动物）where they live. They play an important part in the ecosystem. They feed on seals, fish and deer. Several other animals depend on the kill of polar bears. The failure to save polar bears might result in loss of these predators.
In addition, all large predators perform a very important function in their habitat: helping to control the populations of other species. When an animal group loses its natural predators, its population will rise rapidly, having a direct result in population decrease of other groups. A huge boom in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey(捕食) of seals, and could reduce numbers of certain types of fish.
This could also have a direct effect on humans, who might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish. Lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply. Human beings shall save polar bears to ensure the food supply.
There is no doubt that we should save polar bears. However, there is still another question: can they be saved? This is a matter that scientists debate because of rapid degradation（恶化）of the polar bear’ environment in recent years due to warming temperatures. It is estimated that if the bears cannot adapt to changing climates, they might die out before the end of the 21st century, with about 50% of the animals disappearing by 2050. So time is running out!
There are some things that may help slow down global warming and help delay extinction of polar bears. These include finding new energy sources that don’t give off greenhouse gases and not making any more incursions into polar bear’s territory.
【1】Which is NOT the threat to the survival of polar bears according to the passage?
A. Human’s killing. B. Global warming.
C. Habitat loss. D. Lack of food.
【2】Why do we need to save polar bears?
A. For the predators in the ecosystem.
B. For the seals in Arctic Circle.
C. For our own source of food.
D. For our environment.
【3】If bears can’t adapt to changing climates, we will probably have lost _____ by the middle of the 21st century.
A. half of polar bears
B. most of polar bears
C. 90% of polar bears
D. all of polar bears
【4】We can infer that _____ .
A. nothing can prevent the extinction of polar bears
B. drilling for oil in the Arctic should be encouraged
C. polar bears can surely adapt to changing climates
D. using solar energy is good for saving polar bears
23、 Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as inspiration for living her best life. To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of using geo-tag (地理位置标签), she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, Holland, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, Spain, posing with a waffle (华夫饼) in Brussels, Belgium, taking in the impressive Parthenon temple in Athens, Greece, and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, Hungary, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
“When I’m writing on my leg, people often stare, looking puzzled, but once I share the photos, I receive only positive feedback. Seeing this, I feel much fired up and decide to try more. My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do. I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life,” said Gallagher.
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.

24、 Recently Stiles aged 17 took her 3-year-old brother, James, to her high school. A family emergency prevented her parents from being able to pick up James. So they asked Stiles to step in.
“This was a one-time event; we have never had her get him from school other than this day. But it was an emergency,” her mother said. “I figured she had gone to get him and taken him home. Later that day I saw the picture online and realized that she had taken him back to school.”
Little James quickly fell asleep in his big sister’s arms at the high school.
She didn’t want to be counted absent or miss any work. Stiles was studying to be a nurse. She was in her class, and the teacher gladly welcomed her little brother in.

25、There was once a boy called Joseph Webb who always loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his ________ said to him, “Joseph, I bet you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions.”
Joseph ________ the bet at once. However, he wasn’t sure how to test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then he left and ________ soon as if carrying something in his hands, but Joseph could see nothing there.
“Take it. It’s a very ________ chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather ________ to sit on, but if you take it to school and ________ to sit on it, you’ll activate (激活) its ________ and it’ll be able to tell who your real friends are.”
Joseph, brave and determined, set off for ________ with the strange and invisible chair. At break time he asked everyone to form a ________, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Joseph tried to sit on it, but he ________ the seat and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
“Wait! Let me try again,” Joseph said. But again, he missed the seat, ________ more surprised looks and a few catcalls (尖叫,喝倒彩). Joseph didn’t ________ and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling to the ground...until, suddenly he tried again but didn’t________. Looking around, Joseph saw three of his best friends holding him up. ________, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but make fun of him. And there, the show came to an end. Joseph understood that true friends were those who care for him, and not just the ________ that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes (不幸) was even less of a friend.
