In a neighborhood, a service team of volunteers—“Shared Children (共享儿女)”—is getting popular. It works hard to help old people without children around to be happy.
The volunteers have already made a big difference in the neighborhood. They have helped more than seventy old people these days. The volunteers learn about old people’s needs in their life and give them a helping hand.
At first, the neighborhood started a plan to help some people in need in time. However, the neighborhood did not have enough workers to help so many old people. Then the idea of “Shared Children” was born.
The number of the volunteers in the team is more than 108 now. They help old people buy things, take a walk with them and cook for them.
▲ . Fan Fawen is a retired (退休的) train driver. He joined the volunteer team two years ago. He often helps to repair things in old people’s homes, buys them fruit and vegetables and carries heavy things, like bags of rice and heavy boxes. Liu Chunyan, 43, is also one of the volunteers. “Many old people now live alone and feel lonely, so we should help them and talk with them more often,” Liu says.
“More people now start to learn about the team. We believe that more people will join us in the future,” says Hao Guoying, a volunteer of the team.

Many people may mistakenly believe that corals are colourful plants. But in fact, they’re made of sea animals called polyps (珊瑚虫). They build hard, rock-like skeletons (骨骼) around themselves. When the polyps die, the skeletons remain. So a coral is a mix of living polyps and skeletons.
Although corals can be found in many parts of the ocean, they develop into huge coral reefs mainly in warm, shallow water. Coral reefs play an important role in both the natural world and human society. They provide homes for sea animals, and help protect villages, farms and cities along the coast from storms. Coral reefs have bright colours. They are beautiful to look at, so they also boost tourism, helping local people become richer. The world’s biggest coral reef is Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
Actually, as long as corals are protected, reefs will continue to grow. However, as the earth gets warmer, corals are in danger. How should we deal with the problem?
Scientists have tested a way to protect corals. Just like humans need different nutrients (营养物质) to stay healthy, corals do too. The scientists put the nutrients into special tiles (瓦片), and place them near the corals. When the nutrients go into the water slowly, the corals can take them in. The results are encouraging. After taking in the nutrients, the corals grow stronger and show greater ability to survive. Scientists hope that this way can help bring dying corals back to life.

Actually, as long as corals are protected, reefs will continue to grow. However, as the earth gets warmer, corals are in danger. How should we deal with the problem?
Scientists have tested a way to protect corals. Just like humans need different nutrients (营养物质) to stay healthy, corals do too. The scientists put the nutrients into special tiles (瓦片), and place them near the corals. When the nutrients go into the water slowly, the corals can take them in. The results are encouraging. After taking in the nutrients, the corals grow stronger and show greater ability to survive. Scientists hope that this way can help bring dying corals back to life.

【49题详解】
句意:如果你遇到一个问题,你能做什么?“problem”是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一个”,且以辅音音素开头。故填a。
