21、 In 2010, cattle farmer Nano Corona was faced with an unexpected battle for his life. At 49, Corona had hardly ever been sick and was a crazy cyclist, but was having trouble swallowing. Trips to the doctor in August brought a shocking judgement: esophageal cancer (食管癌). “I started chemotherapy (化疗) that September,” said Corona. “A year later, I had surgery and did another six months of chemotherapy.” He is now getting better after the tough battle.
The experience left Corona with a desire to give back to those in the same situation locally, in his small community of Okeechobee, Florida. “l have a great family and surgeon—it made me want to do something when I got out to help,” he said.
Corona originally hoped to raise money by starting a cycling event called Ride for the Fight in the city of 6000 nestled on the northern banks of one of the country’s largest lakes. But, when you’re a farmer, why ride bikes when you can ride bulls?
The fundraiser evolved into a rodeo (马术竞技); when you ride for the fight, it’s a battle to stay upright. Over the last six years, Corona has raised over 175 thousand dollars to help those with cancer do everything that you need to get done outside of getting treatment, and that’s a lot.
“We can’t help you with treatment, but we do just about everything else,” said Corona. “We help with rides to and from treatment, grocery bills, electric bills, rent and house payments—the odd things that no other groups will cover.” The organization has also covered travel expenses for those wanting to reunite with family members or take a vacation after treatment.
【1】What did Nano Corona experience before 2010?
A.He usually got sick. B.He was diagnosed with cancer.
C.He had trouble swallowing. D.He experienced an unexpected battle.
【2】How did Nano Corona originally hope to raise money?
A.By biking. B.By riding horses.
C.By asking for donation. D.By riding bulls.
【3】What does Ride for the Fight do for those with cancer?
A.It offers them treatment. B.It travels with them.
C.It helps with some fees. D.It accompanies them to hospitals.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to Fight off Cancer B.How to Help Those with Cancer
C.Nano Corona’s Battle with Cancer D.Community Health Hero: Nano Corona
22、 When you take to the seas on a cruise(游船度假), you usually think you are leaving solid ground behind, but the Celebrity Solstice brings a whole new experience to its passengers. Aboard the 317m-long ship is a half-acre lawn(草坪). The Celebrity Solstice is the first cruise ship ever to house live grass.
Nikolas Asproudas, the ship's environmental officer told New Zealand Neus, It was a crazy idea to start with. For five years now, they have been saying that this lawn is the most walked lawn in the world. It's a symbol of honor, particularly because the lawn on the top deck of the ship has special challenges with growth at sea, including “burns” from the salt water, which must be washed off immediately and clearance checks before the ship can pull in to shore.
The lawn is grown in silica(二氧化硅)sand rather than soil, which not only reduces weight, helping the ship's stability, but also agrees with restrictions and helps control pests that may otherwise stay on the grass.
Asproudas sends the Captain of the ship a weekly report on the status of the lawn. “We know that the Australian and New Zealand, authorities are very strict with the grass, and of course, they have to check before we come if, everything's OK,” said the Captain.
The lawn is a source of pride for Asproudas, so. when there are problems with it, he says, “It brings me some sad feelings, but I need to be strong, because I know that it will recover within one week.” All of the crew’s hard work to maintain the “backyard” is appreciated by its many guests, including some that say the: Celebrity Solstice’s lawn is better than theirs at home. Two recent passengers aboard said, “We’re having a drought at home so…it was brilliant!”
Though the option of walking barefoot through a grassy field on a moving cruise ship seems terrific, there are many other ships that are trying to outdo one another with even more surprising guest options.
【1】What is a special challenge that the lawn faces?
A.Bad weather.
B.Salt water.
C.Rare soil.
D.Strict restrictions.
【2】What might be talked about if the passage is continued?
A.Efforts to maintain the lawn.
B.Other options on the cruise.
C.Guest choices on some other cruises.
D.The crew members of the cruise.
【3】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.The Advantages of a Cruise Ship
B.A Cruise Ship that Has a Backyard
C.The Building of a Special Cruise Ship
D.A Cruise Ship that Protects the Environment
23、If you are hungry, what will you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can't I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well, this is the aftereffect of using our brain for thinking of notsoworthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. But why is it reading but not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. You have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “howto” questions. Once you read a book, you just don't run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes (译解) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never think of in your wildest dreams!This is nothing but creativity. The more books you read, the wider your mind will become. Also this improves your oratorical (speechmaking) skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently,but as I read, I could improve significantly. So guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book and let me know!
【1】What's the best title of the passage?
A. Hunger of the mind
