A
Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”
It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”

These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take
a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started inGreat Britain, where the game was given new rules.
That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.
Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “I can tell you with certainty it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
8. What can we know from paragraph one?
A. Some people like to play football on the Moon.
B. The game called cuju was given new rules today.
C. Cuju is different from football as we know it today.
D. Many people like playing a ball made of plastic bags.
9. According to the author, there are ________ reasons why football became so popular in the world.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Football is round.
B. Football is more than just a sport.
C. Our planet is shaped like a football.
D. What Bill Shankly said sounds funny.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To talk about the history of football.
B. To express his/her love of football.
C. To explain why football is such a popular game.
D. To prove that he/she is a professional football fan.
D
Kamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.
Theexperiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this plan.
Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasn't easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was somepushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.
This is all great news for waste reduction of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsu's population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between generations.
That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off and others can take them, and a tableware "library" where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and plates for celebrations.
"The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are," Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.
Sakano's ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it. She's proving that community can be found through handling the stuff we no longer want and need.
12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. What harmful effects garbage burning has.
B. Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan.
C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward.
D. What the Zero Waste Academy functions as.
13. What does the underlined word "pushback" probably mean?
A. Inactive response.
B. Generous reward.
C. Bitter suffering.
D. Beneficial guidance.
14. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?
A. Reducing waste.
B. Creating community.
C. Increasing people's income.
D. Developing a new technology.
15. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?
A. Technology.
B. Health.
C. Workplace.
D. Lifestyle.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Thinking is great. But action makes things happen. One of the biggest differences with people that successfully grow,expand themselves, and reach their goals, is that they consistently take action. Action takes energy though, so where does that energy come from? It comes from inside.____16____
Here are several ways to light the fire and inspire yourself to take action.
Act like you mean it. Maybe you want to get in great shape, but are you acting like you mean it? How many hours are you putting in each week? What routines are you trying?____17____Who are your instructors and models? What actions are you taking? If you act like you mean it, you'll make better choices, show more confidence, and build energy that helps you spring up.
____18____Find some role models and heroes to use to lift your spirits. Just having some examples under your belt can inspire you to new levels. For example, for me, I always look to the amazing physical and philosophical achievements of Bruce Lee. Chances are, no matter what problem or challenge you're up against, somebody's been there and done that.
Shift to the future. Always thinking of the past is a quick way to bring yourself down. To lift yourself up, switch to the future and imagine the possibilities. See what's possible. This is where hope springs from. A few simple ways to shift to the future are... “How can I solve this?”…or "What would good look like?”…or "What's the end in mind?"____19____
Connect to your values. You can connect everything you do to your values. This is a powerful way to inspire yourself with skill.____20____Whenever you take on a task, ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?" or "How can I improve this?” Simply by connecting to your values, you make use of your inner source of power. Your values fuel you and get you excited.
A. Stand out from the others.
B. Inspiration is a powerful force. ,
C. Stand on the "shoulders of giants”.
D.Or you want to be a leading figure.
E. It's a valuable tool for us to use in analyzing possibilities.
F. Questions are a powerful way to switch to the future in effective way.
G. For example, let's say you value "continuous learning" or "growth”.
