As a 51-year-old first-aid responder since 1984, Jeffrey never knows what type of situation he might walk into, or who he'll meet along the way
Ten years into the job, Jeffrey received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Jeffrey and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to calm the man to keep him under control and offer necessary first aid. After Jeffrey dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.
Jeffrey thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walking back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.
"You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I'd have," the man said. He thanked Jeffrey repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Jeffrey instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago
"That day changed my life," Jeffrey said. "Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the effect you can have on someone's life."
4. What did Jeffrey do with the young man?
A. He cured the man at the scene.
B. He took care of the man's wife and son.
C. He only sent the man to hospital.
D. He did what was needed
5. What did Jeffrey think of the encounter with the man at Office Max?
A. It was a common routine.
B. It was troublesome
C. It was unbelievable
D. It was a dangerous situation.
6. Why was the man thankful to Jeffrey?
A. Jeffrey helped bring up his little son
B. Jeffrey donated to support his family.
C. Jeffrey's help gave him the present happy life.
D. Jeffrey's kindness taught his son to be a new doctor.
7. How did the meeting change Jeffrey's life?
A. He was rewarded with much money
B. He changed his attitude to his job.
C. He got a promotion to be a team leader.
D. He took up teaching work to train newcomers.
C
A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.
The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.
Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.
Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.
The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.
At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.
Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.
8. What are “Link” devices used to do?
A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.
B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.
C. To send out information about the brain's signals.
D. To control movements of the arms and hands.
9. What challenged scientists most in the study?
A. Recording and sending out body signals.
B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.
C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.
D. Matching brain signals to body movements.
10. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?
A. To test artificial intelligence.
B. To help those without arms or legs.
C. To study how animals play video games.
D. To develop more complex video games.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.
B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.
C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.
D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.
D
We have most friends at the age of 26 afterhaving spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school,
with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.
Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference."
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% todrift away fromchildhood friends.
With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.
12. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?
A. 22.
B. 18.
C. 12.
D. 4.
13. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.
A. how important making friends is
B. school time is an important period to develop friendship
C. how much has been done to keep friendship
D. that friendship is not easy to keep
14. The underlined phrase "drift away from" in Paragraph 6 means ________.
A. make sense of
B. make up with
C. feel sorry for
D. lose touch with
15. This passage is mostprobably taken from ________.
A. a newspaper

Henry started his teddy bear craft-making hobby when he was only 9 years old. Now a teen, his one-of-a-kind collection has grown into thousands, but you won't find his bears on the shelf at home. His mission of kindness has the only purpose of donating his creations to put a smile on the faces of sick children and lift their spirits.
The young boy's work began one day when he was Christmas shopping with his mother. He asked if he could buy a few presents for sick children in hospitals. His mother had to infuse because the family, which included nine children, could simply not afford the extra cost. Henry told his mother not to worry-he would make the toys himself.
“I hadn’t sewed（缝纫）anything before. In the beginning, it took me a lot of practice,“ Henry recalled.
He borrowed his mother's sewing machine and got straight to work. He learned to create the toy animals by trial and error, using the Internet for instructions. It took him five hours to make his first bear, which he described as “a simple, ugly bear”. With much practice and effort, he was able to cut his time down to one hour per bear, and he began creating unique, bright-color1 ed bears that kids love to hug.
Throughout his youth, while most other children were playing video games or skateboarding , Henry was working on a sewing machine, making stuffed animals. What drives his hard work is seeing firsthand how a child changes when they are gifted a teddy bear. Each child's eyes light up with joy, and for a moment, they forget their illness.
“They smile, and some hug me. It makes their whole day better," said Henry, describing how children typically react when he hands them a toy bear. He believes each bear inspires a sense of hope in the receiver.
