The following are some of history’s most inspirational women recommended by Therese Borchard.
Who Was Mother Teresa ? ¥66.00
Born in Macedonia, Mother Teresa(1910—1997)taught at St. Mary’s High School, in Calcutta, India, but was forced to do something about the suffering and poverty. In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity. Although her devotion to the poor is inspiring, it’s her
persistence(坚持不懈)through years of doubt, as recorded in her private journals, that inspired me the most.
The Diary of a Young Girl ¥55.10
In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank (1929—1945) documented her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944 during the German Occupation of the Netherlands. She is a role model of honesty, strength, and hope for me — that even in the most miserable circumstances, you can lead with love.
A Life of Discovery ¥111.10
“Do one thing every day that scares you,” wrote Eleanor Roosevelt (1884—1962). She had a lot to choose from, as her life was full of challenges. Eleanor inspires me to bravely deal with problems that matter to me, and to find her way through life’s trials and hardships with gracefulness and determination. Story of My Life ¥32.50
A deaf-blind author from Alabama, Helen Keller (1880—1968) provides a powerful example of a woman through two major disabilities to achieve a meaningful life. “We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world,” she said. Her attitude of hope and optimism inspires me to use my suffering to become a better and wiser person, to go beyond my pain into service of others.
21. Why does Therese Borchard recommend Mother Teresa?
A. She worked as a teacher for years. B. She set up a charity organization. C. She published a private journal. D. She helped the poor in spite of doubt. 22. What made Eleanor Roosevelt special?
A. Facing challenges bravely. B. Loving doing scary things. C. Having high intelligence. D. Continuing carrying out trials. 23. Which book should the disabled losing hope read?
A. Who Was Mother Teresa ? B. The Diary of a Young Girl C. A Life of Discovery D. Story of My Life
B
As a kid, Joanna Buckley wasn’t interested in science — until she had a chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas.
“Over the course of a few weeks, I’d completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parent’s dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.
Now science is Buckley’s job. She works in the chemistry department at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, first-hand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great,” she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears. Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley’s at-home chemistry kit. That’s because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.
“Compared with a one-off experiment, what’s cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,” Prunuske says. “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.”
Long agrees. “Kids like that it’s real. And they like that it’s important, that it matters.” Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster (星系团). Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused
in Japan. And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn where butterflies go every winter.
Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. That’s one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep in touch, Long says. And she has some evidence that it’s working, “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, ‘I really think I want to be a scientist now. ’”
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To support trials can make teens interested in science. B. To prove failure is the mother of success in science. C. To state Buckley has a talent for science. D. To praise Buckley for her strong will. 25. Why is citizen science more fun?
A. It carries out experiments frequently. B. It must carry out experiments in groups. C. It needs to seek for new solutions. D. It demands to handle complex problems. 26. What can we know from what Prunuske said?
A. She participated in the experiment. B. She took pride in what students took up.
C. Citizen science is popular with students. D. Scientists are willing to employ students. 27. What is Long’s attitude towards citizen science?
A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
C
Vegetable gardens may not be as visually pleasing as the variety of flowers, but Floridians looking to save some green by growing their own salad fixings can soon do so without fear. Gov. Ron DeSantis this week signed a law that bans local governments from carrying orders against homeowners from raising veggies in their yards.
The law, which takes effect July 1, puts an end to that particular power of towns and cities across the state to prohibit vegetable gardens for “aesthetic(审美的)purposes”.
The problem became a cause after a couple living in Miami Shores Village opposed the decision of a $ 50 a day fine for growing vegetables in their front yard, as they’d done for years. Hermine Ricketts and her husband Tom Carroll fought City Hall in a case that wound its way up the state’s court system, with judges consistently ruling against their money-saving and health-conscious project.
After the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of Miami Shores’ right to control design and landscaping standards, the couple replaced their vegetables with pink flamingos(红鹤).
Their cause was not lost, however. State lawmakers proposed and passed a law that effectively voids the court rulings, with Rob Bradley, who sponsored the bill, reportedly calling the village’s action a “vast overreach”.
The lawmaker noted the difficulty that many families experience getting fresh and affordable food, calling bans against vegetable and fruit gardens ridiculous.
About a third of all households in the U. S. grow some of their own food, according to the National Gardening Association. The group says a 600-square-foot garden that costs around $ 70 a year to keep can grow 300 pounds of fresh produce worth about $ 600 annually. 28. Why will some Floridians plant salad fixings?
A. To add to some green. B. To make life colorful.
C. To build their own gardens. D. To cut down daily expenses.
29. What made people focus on the garden? A. Shortage of fresh vegetables. B. A case concerning a couple.
C. The advantages of raising vegetables. D. The unjustice of judges’ conclusion.
30. What does the underlined word “voids” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Hides. B. Cancels. C. Prevents. D. Values. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To show how to get these statistics. B. To provide some advice for citizens. C. To add some background information. D. To list the benefits of growing vegetables.

In July 2017, the American space agency(NASA)admitted to not having enough financial means to send man on Mars for the purpose of exploring it. The news had the effect of a bomb after five years of communication and development for this space exploration project. And yet, a few months before this announcement, the two houses of the US Congress voted a law to guide future NASA tasks. Among these tasks was an inhabited trip to Mars in 2033.
In the meantime, NASA is focusing on the Mars 2020 mission by building its rover (漫游者), which will be equipped with a series of new scientific instruments. This new machine will also look a lot like Curiosity which landed on the red planet in 2012. The mission Mars 2020 aims to assess the livability of the planet and possibly identify potential tracks of life yesterday and today.
At a recent press conference, former US astronaut Tom Jones announced that NASA’s current budget could not solve some technical problems for 25 years. Thus, it postpones the first inhabited mission of the agency to Mars in 2043. The subject concerned mainly mentioned many damages that will affect the body of astronauts.
Indeed, the trip to Mars could be completed in nine months by considering the current technologies and the moment when the planets are closer to each other. However, periods of weightlessness that are too long may, in particular, cause a lack of calcium. In fact, it influences the bones of astronauts. In addition, this can lead to significant damage of vision.
A quarter of a century is needed to develop new technologies to solve these problems. For example, there is the question of developing nuclear propulsion(推进)systems. Indeed, it could reduce travel times. Finally, there is also the idea of designing something to allow astronauts to hibernate during the trip!
32. What made NASA put off its inhabited mission?
A. A shortage of funds. B. The living conditions. C. The damage to health. D. Objection of scientists. 33. Which is right about the Mars 2020 Mission?
A. It has been put off.
B. Its aim is to send man to Mars.
C. It is to evaluate the possibility for our living. D. Its purpose is for man to walk on Mars. 34. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
