    When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.

This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said Daniel Brown, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Brown's study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children's mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

    Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.

    Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."

A、Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B、Children who work in the home or community. C、Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study. D、Children who feel good about people around them.
(3)、How did Brown follow the children in his study?
A、By giving housework and praise. B、By interviewing and giving scores. C、By setting goals and showing love. D、By solving problems and testing them.
(4)、What's the purpose of the passage?
A、To talk about an interesting study. B、To introduce Justin Tong's success. C、To tell us about childhood activities. D、To encourage children to work hard.

Shenzhen rescued and captured nearly 10,000 dogs last year. 1,119 of them have been adopted (收养) by people after receiving treatment at the city's dog rescue centres, according to a report. 

Shenzhen has a total of four dog rescue centres, one of which is the Longgang Dog Rescue Centre in Honghualing Ecological Park. As the newest one, the centre was put into use in July 2020. It covers nearly 800 square metres and can accommodate (容纳) more than 4,000 dogs a year. 

According to the director of the centre, Liu Xiongguang, the centre is divided into eight areas — the office, reception, isolation (隔离), living, adoption, storehouse, activity and science popularization areas. 

The centre aims to accommodate, treat, help with the adoption of, and inform the public about the homeless or captured dogs in Longgang. If the dog owners are found within seven days, the centre will tell him or her to get back the pet, or the centre will adopt it. 

The first place the dogs set foot in is the reception area, where workers at the centre will take photos of them and record them on the list. The dogs with diseases will be isolated and other dogs will remain in the room to wait for the next step. After careful watching, the dogs are moved to the living area. Every dog enjoys a single room there. The workers will feed them and play with them in the activity area. 

People can go to the WeChat mini-program — Dog Raising Service of Shenzhen — to get information on the dogs at each dog rescue centre in the city. Dog lovers can choose their favourite dogs and then make a request for their adoption online.

 阅读 下列材料,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight when he was only 14 months old. 

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks (咔哒声) with sonar (声呐) to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar. He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind (WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works. 

"When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect (反射) off surfaces around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It's like having a conversation with the environment. "

Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a sound, much more than he usually does. "It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way, " he says. "But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I've never had an accident and hurt myself. "

He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. "We've served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries, " he tells the reporter. "Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes. It's in the mind. "
