Simply put, our programs demonstrate the way children could be empathetic and compassionate towards people and animals that may be in pain and in need of help. Our programs encourage them to take that first step forward to lend a helping hand. These programs emphasize: ♦ How children need to be sensitive to the pain that animals on the street feel when they have been hit or run over by a speeding car. They are made aware of how they could step forward with compassion to treat and save such animals.
♦ How children need to appreciate the importance of the principles of green living by caring for the environment. Children have been urged to inculcate （谆谆教诲）the following routines that would hopefully stick with them for the rest of their lives:
Keep their neighborhood parks, lakes and rivers clean.
Avoid using plastic bags.
Appreciate the principle of recycle, reuse and reduce waste.
Not to dump garbage in parking lots or in parks but only at specified places.
Not to throw banana, orange peels and wrappers from a moving car.
To turn off lights in empty rooms to save on energy.
Not to squash insects like ants, grasshoppers etc. as these living creatures loo are part of our world and we human beings are their caretakers.

They started the school year as strangers and they are ending the year as family. I started this school year like a regular school year and Damien like a regular student, Finn Lanning said. "One
day, he showed up and just said he wasn't going to be back anymore. And when I questioned him about that, he told me that he was going back to live in the hospital for his illness."
Damien has a kidney disorder called FSGS, which requires treatment for 12 hours each day. He is in great need of a new kidney. According to Lanning, the 13-year-old wasn't suitable for a transplant because h e is homeless. "When you're living in the hospital, you’re not able to be on the transplant list because folks who don't have stable housing are considered high risk for
them,“ Lanning said.
Damien ended up in the foster care system due to his medical needs. When a suitable home couldn't be found, he was forced to live in the hospital. During that time, he couldn't leave to attend school.
“As I learned more about his story and what he was facing and what his needs were, it just became really hard for me to look the other way；" Lanning said. Lanning decided to step in, and despite not having any children of his own, he offered to take Damien in.
"It's going good,“ said Damien. He has also been moved to the top of the waiting list for a new kidney. He is hoping he can have the transplant within the next two weeks. In addition to a second chance at life, he is also getting a second chance at having a family.
4. Why did Damien ask to leave the school?

C
For many of us, there's nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it's a gripping crime story or a biography of someon e’s amazing life, it's good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life and help us relax. Maybe that's why some of them are actually being prescribed as a remedy （治疗）to sickness.
It may seem obvious that reading is good for us. It can be educational, and, as some say, it can broaden the mind”. A good novel can make us happy or sad, or make us cry as we empathies with characters. The power of books was recognised a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency, who published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, tackling topics from depression to dementia（痴呆）to chronic pain. It called this bibliotherapy（阅读疗法）and it's become so successful that it's about to be extended to children as well.
Professor Philip Davis studies the effects of literature at Liverpool University and is author of a book called Reading for Life. He studies people in reading groups and found that it's reading literature--written work thought to have artistic merit that has the best effect.
Of course, it's easy in our smartphone generation to ditch a good book and fiddle with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health. It's thought they can help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's perspective.
If you' re not an avid reader（书迷）it can be hard to know where to begin. If the Reading Agency book list doesn't appeal, you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you've found the right text, you 'll be hooked!
8. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to improve our mental health through reading.
B. How to train and form our good reading habits.
C. The material benefits of reading books.
D. The physical and mental effects of literature on people.
9. What can we know from the second paragraph?
A. Few people value the importance of reading.
B. Doctors can not provide books patients need.
C. Excellent novels always make us excited.
D. Bibliotherapy is also available for children.
10. What does Professor Philip Davis think is highly effective?
A. Reading for Life.
B. Reading literature.
C. Artistic merit.
D. A paperback.
11. What does the underlined word “they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Young people.
B. Smart phones.
C. Good books.
D. Future targets.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

Maybe that's why some of them are actually being prescribed as a remedy（治疗）to sickness.”（对我们很多人来说，没有什么比埋头读一本好书更好的了。

无论是扣人心弦的犯罪故事还是某人精彩生活的传记，读一本书都能让我们远离日常生活的干扰，帮助我们放松。

也许这就是为什么他们中的一些实际上是作为治疗疾病的药方。

But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health. It's thought they can help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's perspective.”（当然，在智能手机时代，我们很容易丢掉一本好书，而去摆弄我们的手机。

但是打开一本平装书可能是帮助促进或保持我们心理健康的一个简单方法。

人们认为它们可以帮助你设定目标，找到焦点。

他们可能会让你从别人的角度去看待你已经焦虑了几个星期的尴尬处境。

）可知，此处告知读者阅读书籍可以帮助促进或保持我们心理健康，同时能帮助我们设定目标化解尴尬。

综合上所述，本文主要在讲书籍可以改善我们的心理健康。

因此A项“书籍如何改善我们的心理健康”符合题意。

故选A项。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第二段“It called this bibliotherapy（阅读疗法）and it's become so successful that it's about to be extended to children as well.”（它称之为阅读疗法，它非常成功，即将推广到儿童身上。

）可知，Philip Davis 教授认为阅读那些具有艺术价值的文学作品，效果最好。

故选B项。

【11题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据文章第四段“It's thought they can help you set targets and find focus. And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's perspective.”（人们认为它们可以帮助你设定目标，找到焦点。

他们可能会让你从别人的角度去看待你已经焦虑了几个星期的尴尬处境。

）可知，此处在强调“他们”的优点。

而根据本段前文提到“Of course, it's easy in our smartphone generation to ditch a good book and fiddle with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help boost or maintain our mental health.”（当然，在智能手机时代，我们很容易丢掉一本好书，而去摆弄我们的手机。

但是打开一本平装书可能是帮助促进或保持我们心理健康的一个简单方法。

）可知，此处在强调“一本好书”的有点。

此处前后相互照应说明。

故可推断本段中的they 指代前文提及的“一本好书”。

故选C项。

D
On social media, you may see "BM girls", who wear small skirts, tiny T-shirts and skinny jeans. The group is named after the Italian fashion brand Brandy Melville. It says its clothes are “one size fits all”.
However, most clothes the brand provides for girls are in small sizes, according to British newspaper The Sun.The brand’s idea of “one size fits all" has made many girls feel uncomfortable.
"For me, the problem was not the fact that I couldn't purchase your clothes. The root of my frustration is in the humiliation I felt when I realized that ... I just wasn't good enough for the Melville brand," young girl Andy Esmond wrote on the website Odyssey. "I got the message loud and clear: If you don't have an ideal body type, we would rather you not wear our clothing."
Esmond is one of many girls around the world who are dissatisfied with their body shapes. According to a 2018 survey conducted by Youth Select Committee in the UK, 8 in 10 teenage girls in the UK want to change their weight or body shape. Tn China, more than half of teenagers want to lose weight to make themselves look better, according to a 2018 survey by Southern Weekly.
But fashion trends like the Brandy Melville clothing line do nothing to ease the anxiety of negative body image. Instead, they feed it further, noted Coppell Student Media. In order to achieve
such an "ideal” image, some girls develop eating disorders. Even worse, this trend may lead to low self-esteem, depression and hopelessness.
“The idealization of thinness can be a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery, and fashion retailers should respect diversity in people's natural body shapes and sizes,“ Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity, told Fabulous Digital.
After all, beauty doesn't come in a box, or in one form. Just recognize that we are all different and that is something to be celebrated. In fact, accepting your true self can display a natural beauty that cannot be ignored.
12. What can we know about the group "BM girls"?
A. They are an American fashion brand.
B. They only buy Brandy Melville clothes.
C.They love to wear small-sized clothes.
D. They always share what they wear online. 13. Why are many girls dissatisfied with the brand Brandy Melville? A. Because it offers limited sizes in clothing. B. Because it produces too expensive clothes for them. C. Because it provides all customers middle-sized clothes. D. Because it has poor customer service. 14. How do fashion trends like one-size-fits-all influence consumers? A. They help people to improve their body image. B. They set new standards for clothing production. C. They encourage people to accept their body image. D. They cause some girls to develop unhealthy body images. 15. What should fashion retailers do according to Beat? A. Promote the idea of wearing comfortable clothes. B. Help customers recover from their illnesses. C. Value differences in body shapes and sizes. D. Encourage customers to wear different clothes. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

科佩尔学生媒体指出，相反，他们会进一步加剧这种焦虑。

为了达到这样的‘理想’形象，一些女孩患上了饮食失调。

更糟糕的是，这种趋势可能会导致低自尊、抑郁和绝望)”可知，“一码通吃”的时尚趋势导致一些女孩不健康的身体形象认识。

故选D。

根据倒数第二段中“The idealization of thinness can be a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery, and fashion retailers should respect diversity in people's natural body shapes and sizes(对苗条的理想化可能是导致疾病恶化和阻碍康复的一个关键因素，时尚零售商应该尊重人们自然体型和尺寸的多样性)”可知，时尚零售商应该重视身材和体型
