He flies closer to see what is happening. There are two men inside the museum. They are wearing masks and they are trying to open a box. Inside the box, there is an old picture. Suddenly, one man looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert,” he says to the other man. “There is a huge bird up there.” The other man looks up, but Dacty doesn’t move. “Shut up, Eric.

It is a business that brings joy to young people through a lot of products (产品) and projects. Ford has been working in this area since she was only seven. Back then, she began a project called Arting for You. For this project, she collected art works and gave them to kids in need for free. “My grandma always wanted to give back to others,” Ford told Time for Kids. Two years later, Ford started her business. She got the idea from her own experience. One day, her friend was very sad and she tried to remind her of all the positive (积极的) things in her life. “I realized that I wanted to be everyone’s positive friend,” writes Ford on her business’s website. The business mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office supplies—all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Ford makes goes to people in need. She also offers activities to help kids feel good about themselves. The classes focus on things like creative writing, and how to start and run your own business. Ford hopes to use these things to remind young people of their worth (价值). “My purpose is to spread positivity,” said Ford. 33. What can we learn about Project Arting for You? A. It was started by Ford’s grandma. B. It began when Lena Ford was 15. C. It won a prize from Time for Kids. D. It helped kids by donating art works. 34. Why did the writer mention Lena Ford’s friend?

What does the underlined word “encouraging” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Waking people up. B. Making people lose heart. C. Bringing people down. D. Making people feel confident. 36 What is the best title for the text? A. Project Arting for You helps children in need B. Young people manage to mix arts with clothes C. Teen CEO starts a business to spread positivity D. Products and projects bring joy to young people D Scientists have found a new way to study the health of soil—by listening to it. They think their way could help people monitor (监测) and improve soil around the world. All living things — animals, insects, and even plants — make sounds, and by listening we can study those noises. The way has been used to watch bats, birds and sea animals. Scientists in Australia wanted to see if they could use listening to check how healthy soil was. Soil can be filled with many living things, and the greater the variety (多样性) of living things, the healthier the soil. For example, animals without backbones like ants and worms help nutrients (营养) and water pass through soil. However, the change of the environment and human activities have reduced the variety of living things in soil. “It’s very important to monitor the variety of living things in soil,” Robinson said. For the study, the scientists first put special microphones (麦克风) into the soil and then moved away and stood silently. Next, they collected many hours of recordings from the Mount Bold area of Australia. Finally, they took some to check soil health. The recordings showed the different sounds living things make underground. The study found that more different kinds of sounds suggested healthier soil. It also showed that listening is a good way to test soil health. It costs less and causes less loss than other ways, such as digging up soil and testing it. In the future, Robinson said, “Everyone can just buy their own little microphone and hear the sounds of soil.” 37. What did scientists in Australia want to use listening for? A. Checking the health of soil. B. Studying living things’ noises. C. Watching some living things. D. Making some animals’ sounds. 38. What can we learn about ants and worms from Paragraph 3? A. It’s necessary to monitor them. B. It’s natural for them to live in soil. C. They are helpful to the health of soil. D. They add to the variety of living things. 39. Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the study’s ________. A. steps B. tools C. result D. purpose 40. According to Robinson, what’s the future of listening to soil like? A. It will be used in other fields. B. It can be used by more people. C. It can dig up life underground. D. It will bring more living things. 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Physical literacy (体育素养) is about our ability to be active, which is good for both our minds and bodies.
