Myles, my four-year-old son, somehow got into an adult pool while we were out swimming. We ran over and pulled him out of the water, only to see his blue face and grey, still body. He was lifeless.
One person immediately contacted the front desk while another called 911. My friend, John Newland, and I began CPR(心肺复苏). But we hadn't received any professional training. Despite our best efforts, we failed to make any important progress in bringing back my son.
Another friend of mine realized two off-duty lifeguards, Liz and Alison Manley, were nearby. The sisters, 15 and 18, recently trained by the Red Cross in CPR, ran to help. Alison took over directly above Myles and Liz near his feet. Alison started chest compressions (胸部压迫), and Liz gave instructions. They turned him on his side, and cleared the airway as he expelled(排出) water.They continued chest compressions and rescue breathing, staying calm and cooperating as a perfect team.
As the scene unfolded, so many things went through my mind. It seemed that seconds, minutes and hours passed, all at once. I saw his life flash before my eyes, the image of my beloved son wearing his favorite Lightning McQueen jammies (睡衣) and then his t-ball uniform. All at once was filled with both regret and hope." What kind of a father lets this happen?”,“ Stay with me!”,“ Come on, Myles”,"I don' t want to live without you !”and finally "God help, somebody, do anything!" Then it happ ened. Myles slowly opened one of his eyes and began to cry. I picked him up and held him.
Myles was allowed to leave the hospital the next morning and, despite everything that happened, he asked to go to Worlds of Fun. This was the best Father's Day gift I could have ever received, seeing that my wife, son and daughter reunited and were all healthy, playing together again! No days are taken for granted any longer!

Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续）". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2024. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggesti ons, or will automatically play the next
episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addictio n?
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
28. How did the writer develop the first paragraph?
A. Listing some examples
B. Telling a story.
C. Giving a definition
D. Analyzing the cause and effect
29. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 2 ?
A. similarly
B. gradually
C. naturally
D. necessarily
30. What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _____________.
A. people have no patience to do work
B. people can’t control their movements
C. people are addicted to watching television
D. people can’t resist the temptation
31. What advice did the writer give at last?
A. To watch episodes in a moderate way.
B. To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C. To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D. To keep online media from stopping functioning.
D
You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus (章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.
These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.
More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.
Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.
The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2024, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.
“These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多样性) on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.
32. What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo?
A. To let people know about animals in the ocean.
B. To introduce one way of recycling plastic trash.
C. To warn people of plastic pollution in the ocean.
D. To show Pozzi’s great gift for creating artworks.
33. According to the passage, what is the source of plastic pollution in the ocean?
A. Garbage from towns and cities.
B. Trash left on beaches by people.
C. Plastic bags broken up by waves.
D.Litter created by human activities.
34. The data in Paragraph 5 is given to prove that ______.
A. plastic pollution will be more serious in the ocean
B. more and more artworks of sea creatures will be made
C. the Washed Ashore project has made great achievements
D. volunteers can solve the ocean pollution successfully by 2050
35. What’s Dennis Kelly’s attitude towards the artworks?
A. worried.
B. supportive.
C. doubtful.
D. unconcerned.
