A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started volunteering his car to the young people, Wilson has covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous conversations with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he’s driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him “Grandpa”. Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on,” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll check on those things. Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never hesitates to buy them a meal. For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely necessary for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience, “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It’s such a privilege (荣耀) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.” 21．Paul Wilson began offering free rides when _____. A．he was 68 years old. B．he worked as an engineer. C．he set up On Point for College. D．he finished driving 64,000 miles. 22．What does Tina-Stern think of Paul Wilson’s service? A．It functions as a transportation solution. B．It saves students from traffic jams. C．It provides emotional connection. D．It ensures timely arrival at class. 23．Which of the following can best describe Wilson? A．Caring and kind. B．Strict and demanding. C．Intelligent and traditional. D．Responsible and business-minded. 24．Wilson considers helping students as “a privilege” primarily to ______. A．show his pride in his engineering career B．illustrate his intention to be a role model C．highlight the emotional rewards he gains D．emphasize the economic sacrifices he makes 25．What message does the story convey? A．Community programs solve education inequality. B．Acts of kindness can bring rewards to both sides. C．Retirement offers opportunities for volunteering. D．Young people need role models to succeed. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．A 24．C 25．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。76岁退休工程师保罗·威尔逊八年来免费接送社区低收入大学生，助其准时到校，关怀备至，学生视其为榜样和朋友，他也乐在其中。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段“A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years.(76岁的威尔逊是一位退休工程师，过去八年里他一直为大学生提供免费乘车服务)”可知，保罗·威尔逊在68岁时就开始提供免费乘车服务了。故选A。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段““It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on,” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll check on those things. (斯特恩说：“这可不只是简单的乘车体验；你不会只是尴尬地沉默坐着或者戴着耳机而已。他会向你提问，并且还会记住你的回答，所以下次你和他一起乘车时，他会再次询问这些内容。”)”可知，蒂娜-斯特恩认为保罗·威尔逊的服务能带来情感上的联结。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.(威尔逊最初是通过一家名为“为大学提供支持”的非营利组织的学生支持项目成为一名司机的。尽管该项目仅要求成员接送学生上下课，但威尔逊常常会主动去做更多事情，以确保学生的安全和福祉)”以及“If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never hesitates to buy them a meal.(如果他们缺少某些日常必需品，威尔逊会开车去最近的商店购买所需物品。如果学生在往返学校的长途驾驶中感到饥饿，威尔逊会毫不犹豫地为他们买一顿饭)”可知，威尔逊关爱他人且善良。故选A。 24．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience, “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It’s such a privilege (荣耀) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.” (对他们来说，与威尔逊一起乘车使他们能够完成学业——但据威尔逊说，他从这段经历中也获益良多，“我只是喜欢开车，也喜欢这些孩子，”威尔逊说，“能成为这些孩子生活的一部分，哪怕只是几个小时，了解他们并倾听他们的故事，这真是一种荣耀。”)”可知，威尔逊认为帮助学生是一种“殊荣”，主要是为了强调他所获得的情感回报。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据最后一段“For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely necessary for them to be able to complete their college education.(对于许多学生来说，威尔逊的帮助不仅受到感激，而且对他们完成大学学业也是完全必要的)”以及“For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience(对他们来说，与威尔逊一起乘车使他们能够完成学业——但据威尔逊说，他从这段经历中也获益良多)”可知，这个故事传达了善良之举能够给双方带来回报。故选B。 C One week before I flew to Sweden for my son’s wedding, I got a message from Mum. My elderly parents were eager to attend the wedding but as they were both in their 80s, they’d decided to take a cruise ship (游轮) to Sweden. They’d set off two months before the rest of us. Mum’s message told me to call, “We’re being kicked off the ship. Your dad’s in an ambulance — I think it’s pneumonia (肺炎). We’re in Spain somewhere.” They were taken to a small hospital in Los Alamos, near Malaga. Mum had no phone data and didn’t know how to get a new SIM card. The only time I would hear from her was when she managed to get on to the hospital wifi. She told me Dad was seriously ill, but because the hospital staff (职工) spoke very little English, Mum didn’t really understand what was going on — only that she wasn’t allowed to see him. I quickly moved the date of my flight forward to go and find them, but couldn’t inform Mum of my coming. So I joined the Expats Malaga Facebook group, posting, “My dad’s in the local hospital and my mum doesn’t speak Spanish. Could someone tell her I’m on my way from Australia?” A woman named Elizabeth replied right away, saying she would be happy to offer help. Mum later told me that a tall, beautiful woman walked into the waiting room and said, “Excuse me, are you Maureen? My name’s Elizabeth. Your daughter sent me here.” Mum said she immediately cried. She told Elizabeth she’d been unable to contact her kids. In Spain’s 44℃ heatwave, Elizabeth bought Mum a SIM card, set it up, and checked on Dad with nurses — relaying (传递) the good news that Dad was improving. I never met Elizabeth, but we kept in touch — I wrote her a very heartfelt message thanking her for her kindness. I eventually got to Spain, and Mum and I had a week together in the hospital helping Dad recover. He got better and my parents made it to the lovely wedding. The unbelievable thing is, it’s two years later, and guess what they’re doing? Going on another cruise. 26．Why did the author’s parents choose a cruise ship to Europe? A．They disliked flying. B．They wanted to save money. C．They missed the scheduled flight. D．They were too old for long flights. 27．What difficulty did Mum face in the hospital? A．She lost contact with the cruise ship. B．She could not pay the medical bills. C．She was stopped from staying in the waiting room. D．She couldn’t communicate with the hospital staff well. 28．What did the author do to inform Mum of her coming? A．Ask for help online. B．Send Mum a message. C．Telephone her father. D．Call the hospital staff. 29．How did Mum feel when seeing Elizabeth? A．Moved and thankful. B．Calm and relaxed. C．Nervous and anxious. D．Angry and disappointed. 30．What is the text mainly about? A．A difficult cruise journey. B．A wedding in Sweden. C．Dad’s recovery from illness. D．Kindness from a stranger. 【答案】26．D 27．D 28．A 29．A 30．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者父母乘游轮去瑞典参加儿子婚礼，途中父亲生病住院，母亲沟通困难，作者网上求助，陌生人伊丽莎白热心相助的故事。 26．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My elderly parents were eager to attend the wedding but as they were both in their 80s, they’d decided to take a cruise ship (游轮) to Sweden.(我年迈的父母很想参加婚礼，但由于他们都80多岁了，他们决定乘游轮去瑞典)”可知，作者父母选择乘游轮去欧洲是因为他们年纪太大，不适合长途飞行。故选D。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段中“She told me Dad was seriously ill, but because the hospital staff (职工) spoke very little English, Mum didn’t really understand what was going on — only that she wasn’t allowed to see him.(她告诉我爸爸病得很重，但由于医院工作人员几乎不会说英语，妈妈并不真正明白发生了什么——只知道她不被允许见他)”可知，妈妈在医院面临的困难是无法与医院工作人员很好地沟通。故选D。 28．细节理解题。根据第五段中“So I joined the Expats Malaga Facebook group, posting, “My dad’s in the local hospital and my mum doesn’t speak Spanish. Could someone tell her I’m on my way from Australia?”(所以我加入了马拉加外籍人士Facebook群，发帖说：“我爸爸在当地医院，我妈妈不会说西班牙语。有人能告诉她我正在从澳大利亚赶来吗？”)”可知，作者在网上寻求帮助来告知妈妈她正在赶来。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据第六段中“Mum said she immediately cried. She told Elizabeth she’d been unable to contact her kids.(妈妈说她立刻哭了。她告诉伊丽莎白她一直无法联系到她的孩子们)”以及后文伊丽莎白帮助妈妈买电话卡、询问爸爸病情等可知，妈妈看到伊丽莎白时感到感动和感激。故选A。 30．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者父母乘游轮去瑞典参加儿子婚礼，途中父亲生病住院，母亲沟通困难，作者在网上求助，陌生人伊丽莎白热心相助的故事，体现了陌生人的善意。故选D。 D Hita Gupta used to volunteer at a nursing home, trying to brighten the days of the residents. Now she spreads sunshine far and wide. As a 15-year-old sophomore (二年级学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending goodie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states. Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a Go Fund Me page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones. “We’ve been able to reach so many seniors-who are among the loneliest people in our society-and let them know they are not alone,” Hita said. Hita’s project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility’s director. “It’s impressive to see a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don’t think about seniors.” Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn’t visit anymore because of the corona virus outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help. She started the Go Fund Me page, expanded the foundation’s website and began organizing volunteers from around the country to write cards or make videos for nursing home residents, who have been the most severely impacted by COVID-19. Hita also expanded her project to include the acquisition (购买) and distribution of smart devices to nursing homes and long-term care facilities. “I'm very proud that Hita is able to bring smiles to so many seniors,” her mother, Swait, wrote in an email. Hita said her foundation's name was a reflection of her determination to chase away doubt and depression for folks in need. “I thought of the sun,” Gupta said. “I thought of people in the dark, lonely, and how much I wanted to brighten their days and bring joy to them.” 31．What did Hita’s Brighten A Day foundation first do to cheer up seniors? A．Sent smart devices to nursing homes in Hawaii B．Delivered goodie bags and uplifting letters to seniors C．Organized volunteers to make video calls with seniors D．Held online activities for socially isolated seniors 32．Which of the following helps support Hita’s project now? A．Donations from a Go Fund Me page only. B．Her own savings and local community help. C．Donations and work from more volunteers. D．Financial support from nursing homes. 33．How does Hita Gupta’s family feel about her efforts? A．Surprised. B．Frustrated. C．Supportive. D．Disappointed. 34．What does her foundation’s name mean?

But the 36 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith even more remarkable. After spotting a 37 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the owner to return. After hours in the cold and wet, he 38 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact the driver, only to discover it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it. He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 39 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car — which was itself worth £35,000 — in Glasgow city centre, they were 40 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was safe. The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his kindness. Mr. Anderson said: “I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 41 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and yet he didn’t take the wallet for himself; he thought about others instead. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are honest guys out there.” Mr. Smith’s act drew much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 42 about the act of kindness on Facebook. Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 43 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. “I think the faith that everyone has shown 44 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 45 and all sorts,” Mr. Anderson commented. For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing chance. The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another. 36．A．hope B．aim C．urge D．effort 37．A．wallet B．bag C．box D．parcel 38．A．turned B．hid C．stepped D．reached 39．A．taking B．leaving C．reading D．writing 40．A．satisfied B．excited C．amused D．shocked 41．A．when B．if C．where D．because 42．A．learned B．posted C．cared D．heard 43．A．borrow B．raise C．save D．earn 44．A．of B．at C．for D．in 45．A．details B．changes C．offers D．applications 【答案】 36．C 37．A 38．D 39．B 40．D 41．A 42．B 43．B 44．D 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了无家可归的汤姆·史密斯发现一辆车窗未关的汽车里有个钱包，他冒雨守护两小时，后将钱包交给警察，其善举获众人称赞，还引发为他和其他流浪汉募捐的活动。 36．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但如果你流落街头，缺衣少食，这种冲动无疑会更大。A. hope希望；B. aim目标；C. urge强烈的欲望，冲动；D. effort努力。前文“For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source of temptation”表明发现装有现金的钱包会是一种诱惑，而“if you were living on the streets with little food and money”进一步说明对于无家可归、生活困苦的人来说，这种想要拿走钱的冲动会更强。故选C项。 37．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他发现一辆停着的汽车前座上有个钱包，车窗还没关，于是他在雨中守了大约两个小时，等车主回来。A. wallet钱包；B. bag包；C. box盒子；D. parcel包裹。根据后文“ After hours in the cold and wet, he 3 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID”可知，他伸手拿出来的是钱包，所以此处他发现的就是钱包。故选A项。 38．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在寒冷和雨中待了几个小时后，他伸手进去把钱包拿了出来，希望能找到一些身份证件，以便联系司机，结果却发现里面有400英镑的纸币，旁边还有50英镑的零钱。A. turned转动；B. hid隐藏；C. stepped迈步；D. reached伸手。前文提到车的“window down”，说明车窗是开着的，结合后文“and pulled the wallet out”可以推知，他是伸手到车里拿出钱包。故选D项。 39．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他留了张纸条让车主知道钱包很安全，然后把钱包送到了附近的警察局。A. taking带走；B. leaving留下；C. reading阅读；D. writing书写。后文“to let the owner know it was safe”表明要给车主传达钱包安全的信息，结合常识，通常是留下纸条告知；“leave a note”是固定表达，符合此处语境。故选B项。 40．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当车主约翰·安德森和他的同事卡罗尔·劳伦斯回到停在格拉斯哥市中心、价值3.5万英镑的汽车旁时，他们惊讶地发现有两名警察站在车旁。A. satisfied满意的；B. excited兴奋的；C. amused愉快的；D. shocked震惊的、惊讶的。结合后文“to find two policemen standing next to it”和常识可知，回来取车的约翰·安德森看到车旁站着两个警察，应该是感到惊讶。故选D项。 41．考查连词词义辨析。句意：想想看，虽然他本可以偷走钱去找个地方住，但今晚他还是睡在大街上。A. when虽然；B. if如果；C. where在……地方；D. because因为。根据前文“he is sleeping on the streets tonight”和后文“he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in”可知，他本有机会改变这种露宿街头的状况，但放弃了，前后形成转折关系，用when引导让步状语从句。故选A项。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在安德森先生在脸书上发布了这一善举后，史密斯先生也赢得了社交媒体用户的赞扬。A. learned学习；B. posted发布；C. cared关心；D. heard听到。根据后文“on Facebook”可知，安德森先生在脸书上发布了这件事。故选B项。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在，安德森先生发起了一项在线活动，为史密斯先生和该地区的其他无家可归者筹集资金，截至昨天，已经收到了8000英镑。A. borrow借；B. raise筹集；C. save节省、拯救；D. earn赚取。后文“which by yesterday had received £8,000”表明已经收到了一定数额的钱，结合前文“set up an online campaign”可推知，安德森先生发起活动来筹集资金。故选B项。 44．考查介词词义辨析。句意：我认为大家对他表现出的信任感动了他。A. of……的；B. at在；C. for为了；D. in在……方面。前文提到安德森先生发起活动为史密斯先生筹集资金，人们积极响应，下文“People have been approaching him in the street”等都体现了大家对他的信任；show faith in sb.是固定搭配，意为“对某人表现出信任”。故选D项。 45．考查名词词义辨析。句意：人们在街上主动和他搭话；他收到了工作邀请之类的各种东西。A. details细节；B. changes改变；C. offers提议，邀请；D. applications申请。前文提到大家对史密斯先生表现出信任，“People have been approaching him in the street”说明大家对他很关注，基于他的善举，给他提供工作邀请是合理的，所以这里是说他收到了工作邀请。故选C项。 四、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式,并将答案写在对应处。 Over the past few days, a number of forest fires 46 (break) out in Chongqing and its surrounding areas due to the extremely dry and hot weather.

A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started volunteering his car to the young people, Wilson has covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous conversations with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he’s driven have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him “Grandpa”. Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on,” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll check on those things. Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the programme asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to assist them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never hesitates to buy them a meal. For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely necessary for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has allowed them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience, “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It’s such a privilege (荣耀) to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.” 21．Paul Wilson began offering free rides when _____. A．he was 68 years old. B．he worked as an engineer. C．he set up On Point for College. D．he finished driving 64,000 miles. 22．What does Tina-Stern think of Paul Wilson’s service? A．It functions as a transportation solution. B．It saves students from traffic jams. C．It provides emotional connection. D．It ensures timely arrival at class. 23．Which of the following can best describe Wilson? A．Caring and kind. B．Strict and demanding. C．Intelligent and traditional. D．Responsible and business-minded. 24．Wilson considers helping students as “a privilege” primarily to ______. A．show his pride in his engineering career B．illustrate his intention to be a role model C．highlight the emotional rewards he gains D．emphasize the economic sacrifices he makes 25．What message does the story convey? A．Community programs solve education inequality. B．Acts of kindness can bring rewards to both sides. C．Retirement offers opportunities for volunteering. D．Young people need role models to succeed. C One week before I flew to Sweden for my son’s wedding, I got a message from Mum. My elderly parents were eager to attend the wedding but as they were both in their 80s, they’d decided to take a cruise ship (游轮) to Sweden. They’d set off two months before the rest of us. Mum’s message told me to call, “We’re being kicked off the ship. Your dad’s in an ambulance — I think it’s pneumonia (肺炎). We’re in Spain somewhere.” They were taken to a small hospital in Los Alamos, near Malaga. Mum had no phone data and didn’t know how to get a new SIM card. The only time I would hear from her was when she managed to get on to the hospital wifi. She told me Dad was seriously ill, but because the hospital staff (职工) spoke very little English, Mum didn’t really understand what was going on — only that she wasn’t allowed to see him. I quickly moved the date of my flight forward to go and find them, but couldn’t inform Mum of my coming. So I joined the Expats Malaga Facebook group, posting, “My dad’s in the local hospital and my mum doesn’t speak Spanish. Could someone tell her I’m on my way from Australia?” A woman named Elizabeth replied right away, saying she would be happy to offer help. Mum later told me that a tall, beautiful woman walked into the waiting room and said, “Excuse me, are you Maureen? My name’s Elizabeth. Your daughter sent me here.” Mum said she immediately cried. She told Elizabeth she’d been unable to contact her kids. In Spain’s 44℃ heatwave, Elizabeth bought Mum a SIM card, set it up, and checked on Dad with nurses — relaying (传递) the good news that Dad was improving. I never met Elizabeth, but we kept in touch — I wrote her a very heartfelt message thanking her for her kindness. I eventually got to Spain, and Mum and I had a week together in the hospital helping Dad recover. He got better and my parents made it to the lovely wedding. The unbelievable thing is, it’s two years later, and guess what they’re doing? Going on another cruise. 26．Why did the author’s parents choose a cruise ship to Europe? A．They disliked flying. B．They wanted to save money. C．They missed the scheduled flight. D．They were too old for long flights. 27．What difficulty did Mum face in the hospital? A．She lost contact with the cruise ship. B．She could not pay the medical bills. C．She was stopped from staying in the waiting room. D．She couldn’t communicate with the hospital staff well. 28．What did the author do to inform Mum of her coming? A．Ask for help online. B．Send Mum a message. C．Telephone her father. D．Call the hospital staff. 29．How did Mum feel when seeing Elizabeth? A．Moved and thankful. B．Calm and relaxed. C．Nervous and anxious. D．Angry and disappointed. 30．What is the text mainly about? A．A difficult cruise journey. B．A wedding in Sweden. C．Dad’s recovery from illness. D．Kindness from a stranger. D Hita Gupta used to volunteer at a nursing home, trying to brighten the days of the residents. Now she spreads sunshine far and wide. As a 15-year-old sophomore (二年级学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending goodie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states. Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a Go Fund Me page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones. “We’ve been able to reach so many seniors-who are among the loneliest people in our society-and let them know they are not alone,” Hita said. Hita’s project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility’s director. “It’s impressive to see a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don’t think about seniors.” Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn’t visit anymore because of the corona virus outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help.

After spotting a 37 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the owner to return. After hours in the cold and wet, he 38 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact the driver, only to discover it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it. He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 39 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car — which was itself worth £35,000 — in Glasgow city centre, they were 40 to find two policemen standing next to it.
