When you hear the word "hero", you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi, who spent his life working for his country. But there are also many everyday heroes—they may not make any great achievements, but they do what they can to help make a difference to peoples lives. Everyday heroes are normal people who are making the world a better place. One such person is Robert lee.
Lee grew up in New York City. As he lived in a poor family, he learned from a young age the importance of saving food. When he was in college, he was part of a student group that raised leftover (剩余的) food for the homeless. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food waste actually was.
After graduating from New York University, Lee and a college friend created a nonprofit (非盈利的) organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants and offer it to homeless shelters (庇护处) and food kitchens.
The process is simple. Using an app developed by Lee and his team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day, and then volunteers collect the food from these restaurants and deliver (投递) it to homeless shelters and food kitchens. In the end, the food will be delivered to those in need. Lee believes this is a very good way of delivery.
So far, Lee and his team have successfully delivered over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown how we can take small action to improve the lives of people around us. But Lee says that his work is far from over, “It's just the beginning. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do?”
19. Robert Lee realized the importance of reducing (减少) food waste because of his_______.
A. great ability B. kind character C. study experience D. family background
20. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to________.
A. volunteers B. restaurants C. Lee and his team D. people in need
21. Which of the following is the correct process of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine?
①People in need of food receive food from homeless shelters or food kitchens.
②A volunteer accepts the delivery job by picking up unsold food from the restaurant.
③The volunteer delivers the leftover food to homeless shelters or food kitchens.
④A restaurant reports how much food they have left each day through an app by Lee's team.
A.①②③④ B.①④②③ C.④②③① D.④③①②
22. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Nonprofit Organization B. An Everyday Hero
C. The Importance of Saving Food D. The Problem of Food Waste
C
While mothers look forward to Mother's Day, sellers expect the holiday even more. That's because the money spent on meals, flowers, and other presents adds up to billions of dollars, and the spending keeps increasing year after year.
Not surprisingly, gifts like rings and necklaces top the list with a $4.6 billion. Trips come in second of $4.4 billion. $2.6 billion will go towards buying flowers. Others include clothing($2.1 billion), electronics(S2.1 billion), and personal services.
Though motherhood has been celebrated across the world for centuries, this official (官方的) US holiday started because of the hard work of Anna Jarvis. She came up with the idea in 1905 to honor moms for the hard work they do for their families. The first celebration in 1908 at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia, was such a success that Jarvis made up her mind to make the holiday a national holiday. To achieve her goal, she started a writing campaign (运动) to newspapers and lawmakers about the importance of a special day to honor mothers. While many states, towns, and churches had accepted the holiday by 1912, it took another two years for President Woodrow Wilson to set the second Sunday in May as official Mother's Day.
However, soon after the holiday became official, sellers got the opportunity to market their products. Jarvis was not pleased with this. So she spent years speaking out and fighting against the “profiteers (投机商)”
While Mother's Day has become increasingly commercial (商业的), most moms would choose spending time with their families and a break from daily chores over going to expensive stores to buy things. So on Mother's Day this year, do something thoughtful like making breakfast or doing laundry, and more importantly, spend time with your mom and give her a hug!
23. According to Paragraph 2, people are most likely to spend their money on______on Mother's day.
A. trips B. flowers C. clothing D. rings and necklaces
24. The third paragraph mainly tells us how________.
A. Anna Jarvis thanked her mother
B. the writing campaign was organized
C. Mother's Day became an official holiday
D. President Woodrow Wilson honored mothers
25. Jarvis was unhappy with the holiday later because she_______.
A. wanted to start a better holiday
B. failed to make the holiday popular
C. found it hard to get it accepted by people
D. got disappointed at the way of celebration
26. We can infer from the last paragraph that most moms
A. prefer cooking at home to eating outside
B. expect surprising gifts from their children
C. consider daily housework really great pleasure
D. consider Mother's Day a chance to stay with families
D
The widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (年长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.
Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 255 million in 2020, about 17.9% of China's population. But only 23% of them were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the senior citizens are not able to enjoy the digital (数字的) advantages.
Many senior citizens who can't use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (疫情). Even with a smartphone in hand and the Internet, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. It is reported that many shops refused to serve elders who don’t know how to pay by smartphones, instead of letting them pay in cash (现金). Worse still, as they don't know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places.
New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those who live in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don't live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones. There are different reasons for this. Some senior citizens can't afford smartphones. Others may feel it difficult to learn new things like using smartphones. The digital gap (差距) between the elderly and the young is becoming bigger.
However, the elderly should not become a silent group who are kept away from new technologies. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.
27. The numbers in Paragraph 2 show that_______.
A. three fourths of the elders can't afford smartphones
B. there are a small number of senior citizens in China
C. only 17.9% of the senior citizens can use the smartphones
D. many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of new technologies
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most elders need help in how to use the apps
B. It's a must for everyone to have a smartphone
C. Cash is no longer accepted in the shops in Chingo
D. Many shops refuse to offer service to senior citizens
29. According to the passage, the writer may feel________ about the situation of senior citizens.
A. excited B. worried C. surprised D. angry
30. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show new technologies to senior citizens.
B. To encourage senior citizens to learn new technologies.
C. To raise money for poor senior citizens to buy smartphones.
D. To call on people to help senior citizens with new technologies.
