The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein,if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren't expecting any. Then,at age 6,the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations.They bought computers for police officers,and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children. Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town's soup kitchen,"that's when we decided we'd have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,"Jake,now 15 says."We thought,'What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?"" Last year,he and Max,now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School,started Kids That Do Good,a nonprofit website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work,coast-to-coast. It's a lesson that has caught on with many,including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein,who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey. "Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody's life better,she says."Now this summer,I want to help people around me,and I hope I can teach other kids,too.It's cool that kids just like me can do something to help others." The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered on their website (about3,000 so far)to track their volunteer hours,with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of2019. "Someday,we'd love to reach a million hours,"notes Max,who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college. 第8页，共14页 41.What can we lcarn about the Kleins when they were kids?

C It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any adverse effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell.It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011,this messaging,social media and mobile payment app 第9页，共14页 today has more than I billion individual users.People use it for everything,from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to kecping up with family and friends,shopping and paying bills-activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life When it was first introduced,WeChat was only an app supporting voice,video,picture and text messages between two persons or among a group.But today it has become ubiquitous In the past,people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went:today,a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life.Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by enterprises.Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts,which enjoy 5 billion followers.Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit.This has immensely reduced advertising,marketing and communication costs,and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease,made operations faster,contactless and safe. However,there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat,such as addiction among primary school children.Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for fraud or instigating crimes. However,it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat,but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence and pragmatism,we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5 G technology and artificial intelligence.Ultimately,the choice is ours,whether to use WeChat or any other new invention,wisely or wantonly. 46.We can conclude from the first paragraph that. A.we can easily skip a meal a day B.we will be ill by not using WeChat C.WeChat used to be meant for fun D.WeChat has become inseparable in daily life 47.The underlined word "ubiquitous"in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as_ A.everywhere B.somewhere C.nowhere D.wherever 第10页，共14页
