Alexia suffered from a severe disease in her brain at an early age. Despite that, she refused to be easily defeated. Instead, she chose to spread light to everyone around her.
Alexia started a series of small gatherings for the kids in the neighborhood. It was her way of enhancing connections among her neighbors. For those who couldn't attend, she made funny videos and shared her artworks on the social media. She loved to use her creativity to make ordinary things beautiful.
Her mother recalled, “Somebody said Alexia was an actress and the world was her stage. She was a representative of joy. ” When it was time for her to receive another operation-she had fifteen in all-Alexia could go about it with failure. No complaining and no crying, she just got through it and got back to living. Her teachers remembered her as an inspiring girl everyone wanted to be around. With an infectious（感染的）smile and an incredible passion for life, she approaches each day as a new opportunity to conquer her illness and make a difference.
Sometimes it happens that a very special person comes into our life to welcome each day with gratitude, to cherish the moments of joy, to brave life's challenges, and to lighten up the lives of people around. Alexia's artworks made people happy. Her videos made people suffering hard things focus on good things and stay optimistic. Her positive mindset brought a sense of hope to those facing similar challenges.
Without any good luck, Alexia passed away at the age of 16. “She made a choice to live her life with joy and optimism,” said her father. That spirit continued with her family founding an organization called Alexia's Flight, which committed to inspiring others to live life as she did. The organization raised money for medical research and also celebrated life by sharing the message: Spread your wings and shine your light.
24. How did Alexia live her life when facing her serious disease
A. She lost faith in life for her disease.
B. She was actively involved in her life.
C. She made videos and created artworks to make profits.
D. She hardly interacted with the kids in the neighborhood.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Alexia
A. She knew very little about her disease.
B. She showed a talent for acting and art.
C. She had fifteen successful operations.
D. She was highly thought of by others.
26. Why did Alexia's family found Alexia's Flight
A. To attract more people to befriend her.
B. To raise more money for her treatment.
C. To tell people to face life in a right way.
D. To remind people to achieve their dreams.
27. Which of the following can best describe Alexia
A. Bright and creative. B. Strong and humorous.
C. Talented and honest. D. Organized and sensitive.
C
If you feel that making friends as a kid is easy, you're right. “They have a break between lessons and gym classes. They can let their guard down,” says Marisa G. Franco, a sought-after friendship & belonging expert. However, it's not the case for adults. Even though they see their colleagues every day, they still find it never easy to be friends with them.
In the US, for example, a 2021 survey by the American Enterprise Institute, found that the number of adults who said they had no close friends had increased four times since 1990, going from 3 percent to 12 percent. “We've never been more disconnected,” says psychologist and author Jody Carrington. Although adults spend time together from 9: 00 am to 6: 00 pm and even late into the night, the fast paced work pattern dictates that communication is limited to the content of the work, and after work, they immediately go back to homes, leaving no extra energy to have unplanned interactions to develop further friendship.
Research by Brigham Young University psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad has shown that loneliness is a major threat to longevity(长寿),same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being an alcoholic. People who are lonely or socially cut off have a higher risk of having diseases like depression, dementia and cardiac death. On the another side, healthy friendships can help us a lot, doing better with stress and living happier and longer. Plus, happiness is contagious. Harvard researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, his or her friends who live in a 1.6-kilometre radius have a 25 percent higher chance of getting a boost in happiness, too.
Hence, making and deepening friendships matters more than we imagine. You might think making riends is an inherent skill that doesn't need to be taught. It's not the case. We can all get better at connection if we try. Some experts offer some tricks to make finding connection a little easier.
28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By listing a lot of figures.
B. By drawing a conclusion.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By showing a conversation.
29. What makes an adult difficult to be friends with others according to paragraph 2
A. Lack of breaks in the workplace.
B. Worry about being deeply hurt.
C. Unwillingness to communicate.
D. Lack of unplanned interactions.

Coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0. 2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻)living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的)from absorbing CO2, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因)for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world's coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
32. Which is the main threat to coral reefs
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Loss of colored algae.
C. Increasing sea temperatures. D. Lack of food source.
33. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.

Being caring allows you to live a life based on love. If you want to know how to be more caring, see the following steps to get started.
36 One way to be caring is to put more effort into learning about how other people are doing. When you talk to someone, ask him or her about his or her physical condition, vacations or pets. Trying to ask the little questions can add up to showing that you do care. 37
Help people in need. You can't be a caring person if you're only out to help yourself. Helping other people means helping both the friends and family members who need help, and the less fortunate people in your community, or even people you may not know that well who need assistance. 38
Apologize when you need to. 39 Therefore, they are quick to apologize when they've done something wrong. They are comfortable admitting they're not perfect. If you know you've hurt somebody, then you have to swallow your pride and say sorry to show that you're aware of how your actions impact others. Doing this shows that you really care, because you think about how others are feeling.
Keep track of people. Let people know that you're thinking about them even when you're not together. To do this, whether sending a text message after your best friend's exam, or calling your cousin on her birthday is necessary. 40 . Though it's unrealistic to talk to friends every day, contacting at least one friend a week will make a big difference.
A. Ask people about their lives.
B. Remember the details about people's lives.
C. Sending cards also gets the message across.
D. Caring people spend time doing favors for other people.
E. Caring people care about how their actions affect other people.
F. Do not just ask out of duty, but because you genuinely want to care.
G. Keep an eye out for those in need and find a productive way to get involved.

) was 18. I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨)three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home-another three kilometres away-to cook my breakfast, and be off to my school.
One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometers, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe(定期订购)to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal's mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning. “I wasn't quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me,” How many miles do you walk every day ” 1 replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.
Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a hearty breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.

The Person I Admire Most
Of all the role models, I admire Zhang Guimei most, the headmaster of Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Yunnan Province.
When Zhang went there to support education decades ago, she was shocked to find a lot of girls dropped out of school due to poverty. Feeling heartbroken, she was determined to create the high school for girls with no fee to light up the dreams of girls in the poverty-stricken areas. Since then, Zhang has been devoting herself to the girls' education and changed thousands of girls' life.
It's her selfless commitment to her students and her persistence for the education career that touch me a lot.

Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. It was a brand new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday. “This is for those who are in need. Therefore, it's for you!” she said with a smile, explaining that she was impressed by my spirit of struggling for life whenever she saw my rushing figure. Mrs Kader put her arms around me, gave me a gentle hug and said, “My boy, you deserve it.” Hearing that, I was shocked and more than appreciative for her generosity and kindness. I didn't even realize that my eyes had welled up.
