28、LOS ANGELES—There are 69,144 people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, the most populous(人口稠密的) county(县) in the United States, according to the results of the 2022 Homeless Count released by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) on Thursday.
The number marks a 4.1 percent rise from the last count in 2020, said the authority, adding that a count was not conducted in 2021 in the county, home to around 10 million residents, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The results of the count, conducted over three nights in February, also showed 41,980 people were experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles, up 1.7 percent from 2020. The City of Los Angeles is the part of Los Angeles County and also the biggest city in the county.
LAHSA said in a news release that this year’s homeless count results offer a clear contrast(差距) to the results between 2018 and 2020, when Los Angeles County saw a 25.9 percent increase and the City of Los Angeles experienced a 32 percent increase. The authority noted that “Angelenos(洛杉矶人) need more affordable homes and economic help to prevent future increases in homelessness.”
LAHSA said the agency and its partners have made 84,000 housing placements(安置) over the past five years. Thanks to a 62 percent increase in shelter(居所) beds since 2019, more people are in shelter than ever before, said the agency, adding that “shelter is a necessary and key part of our system because bringing people inside protects them from the destructive effects on their health and safety that comes. from experiencing unsheltered homelessness.”
Los Angeles has one of the highest rates of unemployment and homelessness in the United States, according to usabynumbers.com. The website reported in June that the total number of homeless people in the United States is over 553,000, and that’s 170 out of every 100,000 people experiencing homelessness in the country right now.

29、Half a year ago, Lacey Scott was shopping for supplies at a local pet store in Kansas City, Missouri. When she was in that location, a bored face of a little goldfish attracted her attention, and she didn’t stop staring at it the entire time she was there.
Lying at the bottom of a dark fish tank, the sad fish didn’t appear to have much of a wish to survive. Lacey learned from a store clerk that the fish was ten years old and had spent a long time in that depressing tank.
“I couldn’t take my mind off him. I couldn’t bear the thought of a fish who had wasted so much of its life and would end up dying in a pet store,” Lacey said.
Lacey approached the store owner and asked if she could take the small fish home with her.
What no one realized was that the small fish’s best days were still to come: all it needed was a second chance.
Lacey returned home and built a pond out of various materials for the fish she named “Monstro”. She changed his water every day to keep it clean and fresh, and fed him with only the fish food. Monstro, on the other hand, did not appear to be enjoying his new living environment, not even moving to have his meal.
Despite this, Lacey did not give up on him and continued to provide him with specialized care. “I found him swimming for small amounts of time after a month,” Lacey said. “And it was at that point that I realized things began to change.”
Monstro’s body began to change as well. The gray scales (鱼鳞) that made him seem unwell began to change colors. His small body began to shine, showing that his condition had improved greatly.
Lacey put Monstro into a much larger tank once he had fully recovered, where he continues to live in the greatest possible way.
【1】Why did the goldfish at the pet store catch Lacey Scott’s attention?
A.He was a rare type of goldfish.
B.He looked sad and was tired of life.
C.He looked energetic, colorful and lovely.
D.He was so old that he could hardly move.
【2】How was the fish when he just arrived at Lacey’s home?
A.He tried to jump out of the pond.
B.He adapted to his new life very quickly.
C.He seemed not to be fond of his new home.
D.He appeared to be dead and floated on the surface.
【3】When did Lacey start to find Monstro’s change?
A.The fish began to swim in the pond.
B.The fish started to eat a lot of food.
C.The fish’s scales began to change colors.
D.The fish came to the surface to breathe.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A goldfish bought by a woman recovers from his injury.
B.A woman builds a new pond for an active goldfish.
C.A kind woman saves a goldfish from being killed.
D.A goldfish adopted by a woman starts a new life.
