As we slide even closer to Father's Day during these pandemic (流行病)times, I can, t help but feel super privileged to tell you about one extraordinary dad. He's a dad so good that after he was done raising his own kids, he took to YouTube to do some more dadding to millions of complete and total strangers in need.
Rob Kenney's childhood had a theme that, sadly, is not at all uncommon for American kids: fatherlessness. His father left his family when he was just twelve years old, and statistics say that lines up with the experience of about 25% of kids today. Many lessons a dad would teach a kid, he just had to learn on his own. However, Kenney swore that his own kids would not have that experience, and after successfully raising two kids into two adults, he's branching out to help fatherless kids just like him in the coolest way possible.
Kenney has started a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?\variety of “how to' s\w to tie a tie\your face\\check your car's oil\Kenney, s videos are readily understood, though almost entirely unedited.
In the past week, thanks to some viral posts on Twitter and Facebook by influencers, Kenney's channel has gone from a handful of subscribers to 1.97 million! It just goes to show you how much his \Practical 'Dadvice' for everyday tasks\is needed and appreciated by fatherless kids everywhere --- not to mention adults who just plain don ' t know how to do stuff. The viewers ' comments on Kenney's YouTube channel can move even the hard-hearted to tears. 24. What's the author's main purpose of writing the text?
A. To celebrate Father's Day. B. To introduce a kind father.

A. To make a name for himself. B. To set an example to his kids. C. To direct parents to bring up their kids. D. To teach fatherless kids to do everyday things. 26. What does the author think of Kenney's videos? A. Complex. B. Well edited. C. Slightly abstract. D. Straightforward. 27. What does the last paragraph tell us about Kenney?

Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we discard is e-waste ---electronic items that are broken and not recycled. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Now ways are being found to give it a new life.
There's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing
amount of electrical and electronic garbage. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo said, “This project allows you to reduce waste, lengthen the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot

afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.\
Electronics consist of materials like plastic, metals, chemicals and glass. As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales includes extracting (提取)these materials from electronic items. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 components, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense 一 collections of e-waste for recycling are not progressing or even decreasing according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there are no recycling laws, much of it is got rid of. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to settle the problem by insisting business firms have to make appliances longer-lasting and have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years. 28. What does the underlined word “discard\ A. throw away B. take apart C. make the best of D. put together 29. What does the Restart Project in London help people do?
A. Collect electronic garbage. B. Use their electronics longer. C. Buy good-quality electronics. D. Get jobs in recycling companies. 30. Which part of electrical items can be mined and used again?
A. Hard plastic. B. Precious metals. C. Toughened glass. D. Various chemicals. 31. What is suggested in the last paragraph about the problem of e-waste?
A. Improving recycling process. B. Replacing spare parts timely. C. Making e-waste recycling laws. D. Using electronics permanently.

Red pandas are native to the high forests of Asia.They are only a little bigger than a
house cat and considered to be endangered.
Scientists reported last month that not all red pandas belong to the same species.There are two different species of this animal,not just one.The scientists reported finding major differences in three genetic markers between Chinese red pandas and Himalayan red pandas. Scientists identified the markers after studying DNA from 65 of the creatures.DNA carries genetic information for the development,growth and reproduction of living things. Documenting the existence of two separate species could help guide efforts for protecting red pandas.
Chinese red pandas live in northern Myanmar,as well as southeastern Tibet,Sichuan,
and Yunnan provinces in China.Himalayan red pandas are native to Nepal,India,Bhutan and southern Tibet in China.Conservation biologists Yibo Hu and Fuwen Wei led the study. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances.
"To conserve the genetic uniqueness of the two species,we should avoid their interbreeding in captivity,\said.\between species may harm the genetic adaptations already established for their local habitat environment.\
Scientists had earlier suggested there were two species of red panda.But the new study was the first to provide the genetic information necessary to permit such a judgment. International experts estimate a total population of around 10,000 red pandas in the wild.The two species differ in coloration and skull shape.The Himalayan red panda is the rarer of the two.Major
