    "Mom, I'm bored," said Jason. "There is nothing to do." "You can clean your room," said Mom. "That's not fun." It was only the second week of summer vacation. It was still too cold to go to the pool, and Jason was tired of watching TV. His
friends were away on vacation, and even his dog, Riley, was being lazy.

    Mom was getting ready to go downtown to the food kitchen to help out. She volunteered serving lunch to people that weren't as lucky as Jason. "Why don't you come with me to the food kitchen and help out?" Mom asked. "I don't know anything about working at a food kitchen," said Jason. "You just watch me, and then you will see how to serve the food," said Mom.

    It was time to go, and Jason was excited to try working in the food kitchen. He watched his Mom put some turkey and mashed potatoes on a plate. She then passed the plate to the next lady, and she put some green beans and bread on the plate. "I can do that," thought Jason. One of the volunteers left early, so Jason took over her spot in the serving line. He was in charge of (负责) putting salad on the plates. He served twenty-five people that day. "That was great!" said Jason.

    Jason was so excited and really enjoyed his day at the food kitchen. He couldn't wait to get home and tell his Dad about how much fun he had. "Jason, that was a nice thing you did today." "You helped many people who aren't as lucky as you to have a hot meal." Mom said, "I am so proud of you!"

    Jason went to bed that night thinking about the food kitchen. "I am going to help out again, "he thought. Jason made some new friends, and he didn't even know they lived so close to him in town! The best part was how good Jason felt inside.

 阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 

People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water alone. It's called Seatrac.

Seatrac was designed to solve this problem. It is a chair on a moving ramp (斜坡) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. In the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote ( 远 程 ) control. When the person wants to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It's even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.

The idea came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn't like to be carried into the sea as if he were a "sack of potatoes".

Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a university to design the system. In no time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems.

TOBEA tried to make the system easy to manage. It is solar powered, and can keep running even if the electricity goes out. It can be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.

TOBEA also offers other special equipment to help disabled people enjoy Greece's beaches: changing rooms, bathrooms, and shady resting areas. It has even created a website showing where beaches with these special services can be found.

This summer, Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. The service in Greece is being offered for free. The government and the EU have helped pay for it, they hope Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.

 阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

High—speed trains

China created its first high—speed railway line in 2008. Since then, many visitors have travelled around China by high—speed trains. China is working on new high—speed trains that will have a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour. These high—speed trains will connect more than 80 percent of main cities across China. 

Shared Bikes

Shared bike services started in western countries. Unlike traditional bike—sharing methods, China's shared bikes allow users to simply pickup or park on the street. People just need to scan a QR code (扫描二维码) on a shared bike with a smartphone app. After you finish riding, you can park it everywhere, lock it and pay for your ride. 

Mobile payment

Mobile payment is turning China into a "cashless(无现金的) society". For example, customers now pay for goods simply by Ali pay or WeChat pay with their mobile phones. They can also use Alipay to buy things on international websites and apps. What's more,in some countries around the world, they can also use Alipay or WeChat pay. 

Online Shopping

China has the largest number of Internet users in the world. The largest online shopping website Alibaba has created an "online shopping festival" and celebrates it on November 11th every year. People can buy plenty of things at good prices on that day. And online shopping also helps to provide jobs for many people. 

The "four new great inventions" are not the only "Made in China" products to be welcomed in foreign countries. China plays a more and more important role in the world. 

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

 Guo Guangpu, a university professor, can be a bit odd outside the classroom, especially when he is seen sniffing(闻) bird droppings, or even pretending to eat them for dramatic effect.

 This dramatic way of teaching has proved to be effective. To date, Guo has made more than  100 short science videos about animals and plants, as well as eco logy systems. People can find information on a wide range of interesting natural phenomena(现象) in Guo's educational videos on the popular short video- sharing platform Douyin.

 His followers have watched his trips to learn about unusual knowledge. For example, they can see lychee in Dongguan of Guangdong province, Asiatic toad (蟾蜍) in Zhejiang province, and weird fruits of various shapes and sizes in Yunnan province.

" Science videos are not easy to make. You have to be professional as well as lively and interesting. Only in this way can people with different levels of knowledge understand," Guo says. Therefore, he needs to look up plenty of information to make sure that there are no mistakes in his videos. While presenting the knowledge, he also tries his best to deliver the information in plain words.

 As a result, his efforts have attracted more than 14,000 followers since March. Some of his videos have received as many as 17,000 likes.

" With the help of Professor Guo,I am able to appreciate the beautiful land across the country even without leaving home," says Ren Jiaxi, one of Guo's Douyi n followers." His video encourages my interest in learning," Ren adds.
