At the end of the class, the teacher took all the texts and read each answer in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot. After the teacher finished reading, the whole class was silent. The teacher began to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused(聚焦) on the black dot but no one wrote about the white paper, the same is with our lives. The white paper stands for our whole life and the black dot stands for troubles in our life. ” Our life is a gift given to us with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate, such as our friends around us and the job that we make a living. Still we just focus on troubles like short of money and worries in relationships, but we never see that these troubles are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.

C Have you ever thought about talking with people working in space? This is something Ezekiel Wheeler from the US began to try when he was 8. Now, as a homeschooled 13-year-old boy, he made a device (设备) by himself to help others speak to astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). When Wheeler was young, he was very interested in science. When he turned 8, he decided he wanted to talk with the ISS using ham radio (业余无线电). To make this happen, a ham radio was not enough. He also needed a satellite tracker (卫星跟踪器). He made his own tracker with a 3-meter-long antenna (天线), and two more small trackers made of Lego. “I wanted to use a fun, practical way to teach students about electrical (电机) engineering,” said Wheeler. So he 3D-printed a desktop satellite tracker. The program helped Wheeler win second prize in the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, one of the top middle school STEM competitions in the US. Wheeler wasn’t only interested in talking to the astronauts himself. He wanted to let his friends talk to them too. For him, science is everything. “I like to face challenges (挑战),” he said. “I really want to get a result that will work.” 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By describing a job. B.

The next day, a lot of people had watched it. “It just went out of control (控制) in a good way,” said Luis. ③Eight years later, people still watch the video. And some schools even pick up on the idea.

It teaches us to care more about others than ourselves.” ⑤Back at St. Joseph’s in California, the shelter dog run has become a big event. “Many, many dogs were adopted (领养) as a result of this,” Luis said. “That is the thing that I am probably most proud of.” Luis is happy his short video made a big difference.
