“Where did th e Christmas basket sitting on our front porch come from? ” I thought to myself. I’d just returned from the bank, where I’d withdrawn enough cash to get us through the holidays. Life was a struggle, raising two teenagers as a single mom while working two part-time jobs and taking college courses at night. I was extremely tired.
Looking for a card or note, I searched the basket which was filled with all sorts of holiday foodstuffs. However, there was none. Had someone entered my name into a charity? The timi ng couldn’t have been better. It would support us through a period of difficult time.
At that very moment I felt a bit guilty (内疚). Wasn’t there someone else out there who needed it more? Yes, my kids and I were struggling, but my grandparent relied only on the state pension (国家抚恤金) to get by. At least I could always
pick up extra hours at work. And when I finished my degree, things would improve a lot.
My conscience(良心) won the debate. I drove to Grandma and Grandpa’s little two-room house. Grandma opene d the door. “Merry Christmas, Grandma!” I said, handing the Christmas basket to her. Grandma was thrilled. “Oh, thank you, Connie! We’ll be able to have such a nice dinner this Sunday. This will really help us until our pension come. But what about you?” “We’ll be fine,” I said. After a short visit I excused myself. “I still have a lot of work to do, so I should head back.”
On the way home, thinking about Grandma’s smile, I knew the basket had gone to the right place. But like Grandma said, what about us? I still worried about how I could afford to make Christmas special for my kids. Then I saw it in front of my house, in the same spot as before ----an identical Christmas basket, every bit as lovely as the first.

B. Because she kept the basket to get through the holidays.

B. She was extremely happy to receive it.
C. She was upset about the upcoming miserable life.
D. She was confused about the author’s coming.

Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water(放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government's decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant's damaged reactors(反应堆).The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan's coast.
China called the decision "extremely irresponsible," and South Korea summoned(召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. "They told us that they wouldn't release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen," Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. "We can't support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地)."
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan's government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
58. How do most of the local people react to the plan?
A.Indifferent.
B. Uncertain.
C. Supportive.
D.
Disapproval.
59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B.It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C.Ocean discharge is the only way the deal with the wastewater.
D.The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
60. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with?
A.The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B.It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C.It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D.It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’
permission.
61. The passage is most probably taken from a _______.
A.geography textbook.
B. personal diary
C. news report
D. fiction book

I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.
Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
