A
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and only a very expensive operation could save him now. They were a poor family and no one would lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. Then, she hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile. “Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need? ”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and m um says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered. “Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1. 11, the price of a miracl e for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Yosemite National Park, California
Hardy hikers can conquer Half Dome. The rock rises 4,000 feet above Yosemite Valley. The 17-mile round-trip trail passes two waterfalls and includes a 60-degree up a slope. “It takes more mental strength than physical strength,” Kaiser says. Although it’s possible to do as a day hike, most hikers camp and take two days. Hiking permits are required.
（209-372-0200; nps. gov/yose）
Hawaii Volcanoes national Park, Hawaii
Even if Kilaues, the world’s most active volcano, isn’t erupting when you visit the Big Island, you can still see the frightening lava（熔岩）-carved landscape. The 3-mile round-trip hike crosses former lava flows and passes lava trees, formed when the 1,200-degree lava enveloped the tree.
（808-985-6000; nps. Gov/havo）
Acadia National Park, Maine
For a different perspective, tour this popular oceanfront park by sea kayak. Water
routes pass clean shoreline, lighthouses and wildlife. “There are locations sheltered by offshore island, so the seas aren’t as rough. Level of ability is really no problem,” Kaiser says.
（207-288-3338; nps. gov/acad）
Yellow National Park, Wyoming and Montana
“One of the best ways to experience the nation’s first national park is on two wheels,” Kaiser says. Although traffic’s heavy during peak summer season, there are several areas reserved just for summer cyclists. Kaiser recommends coming in the early spring, though, when the park is closed to cars, giving cyclists free rein.

Olivia is no stranger to the stage. This young star started acting at age three, and progressed from a small stage to a hit TV show, Disney XD’s Kickin ’It. But even today
she gets pre-show jitters（紧张）. She conquers her nervousness by staying , positive. “I end up just keeping my head up and seeing where it takes me and usually, it takes me to a good place where I’m not so nervous,” Olivia said.
Olivia grew up in Miss issippi but moved to Los Angeles recently to pursue her career. “It was a big transition for me because I grew up in a small town,” O l ivia said. But now, she’s living her dream as an actress. When asked about advice for other aspiring actors, the young performer said, “Just stay positive and stay confident. If you know that you’re powerful enough to conquer your fears and stay happy, t hat will lead you in the right way.”
Olivia regularly stars on a Disney XD show called Kickin’It. She plays the fearless black belt Kim. “I think she is such an incredible girl and I look up to her.” Olivia said about her character, “She is so powerfu l and confident.”

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria （疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.
Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, re ducing patients’
suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites （寄生虫）.
However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.
The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific res earch. There have been discussions on people who really love sc ience but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.
As the first Chinese mainla nd Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.
33. It can be concluded from the text that ________.
A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research
B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment
C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work
D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate
34. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is
the one with _________.
A. a sense of national pride
B. relevant academic knowledge
C. a desire to achieve success
D. enthusiasm for scientific research
35. In writing the passage, the author intends to ________.
A. inform readers of the news and make comments
B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science
C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research
D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

You’ve seen news reports about people who need assistance after a natural disaster, or TV programs about how lonely and isolated older people can get. Maybe you’ve walked past people who are living on the streets. 36 The answer: you can volunteer. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people’s lives, including your own. Helping others in need is such an important part of life. So how do you go about it?
Find what’s right for yo u.
Volunte ering isn’t school. 37 You can choose what really interests you and who or what is most deserving of your time.
38
After you’ve discovered what interests you, decide how much time you want to spend and what fits into your schedule.
Expand your mind.
Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills — from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals. 39 And it can help you develop a new understanding of people who are different from you —people with disabilities, people in financial problems, sick kids, or the elderly.
Feel good.
Volunteering helps people feel they make a difference — that they do have the power to change things for the better. When people depend on you, it can cha nge the way you look at yourself. 40 Volunteering is also a great way to get a view on your own life. A. It can give you a chance to discover what kinds of things you’re best at and enjoy the most.
B. Instead of having the choices made for you, you’ve got to pick.
C. Doing something for others helps people to change the world.
D. So what can you do about any of those things?
