26、   My challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month.

Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn’t one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can’t read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He’s busy, so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading.

My dad is not the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities don’t have.

Firstly, it’s better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night’s sleep.

One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world—I often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better.

I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people’s point of view, and understand other people’s decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling—you really can be inside someone else’s head!

So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!

27、A 74-year-old man is pounding the pavement in the hope of finding a kidney for his sick wife. Wayne Winters began walking along the streets near his home in Farr West, Utah early this month with a sandwich board containing an unusual request. “Need Kidney for Wife,” the sign reads. Winters’ phone number and his wife Deanne’s blood type are also included.

Deanne has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant. Desperate to do something to help his sick wife, Winters walks along the streets armed with a new suit, and his sign with a plea (恳请) for a kidney. Though he doesn’t walk fast, Winters’ unusual method of tracking down a kidney for Deanne has attracted plenty of attention. In addition to the motorists and passers-by who have seen Winters out walking miles a day, his request for a kidney has now hit the Internet and attracted the attention of millions more people.

Winters said he was inspired to pound the pavement on behalf of his wife after seeing a story online about another man who did the same thing and got national attention. Rush hour is his favorite time to walk up and down the streets because drivers are slowed down.

Though he hasn’t had any success yet, Winters remains confident he will find a kidney for Deanne, and says he won’t rest until he makes it. Winters has stated even after a match for Deanne is found, he will continue to raise awareness about kidney donation because it is now his life mission. In fact, the back of his current sign includes a message aimed at helping others in need. It read, “1,000 kidneys are needed in Utah and Idaho.”

The National Kidney Foundation reports the average wait for an individual’s first kidney transplant is over three and a half years, and can vary depending on health, compatibility (兼容性) and availability of organs. The organization also notes over 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list each month, and 13 people die each day while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant.

B．To do some exercise.

C．To look for something he has lost.

D．To appreciate the sights of the city.

【2】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Winters will continue raising awareness about kidney donation all his life .

B．Winters got the inspiration from a story on line.

D．Winters’ unusual method of finding a kidney has gone viral on the Internet.

【3】According to Paragraph 4, how can we describe Winters?

A．Optimistic and kind.

B．Patient and generous.

C．Passive and stubborn.

D．Positive and successful.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．A kidney transplant is a life-saving operation.

B．Getting a suitable kidney for a patient is not easy.

C．New patients that are added to the kidney waiting list.

D．The success of a kidney transplant depends on several factors.

28、   My wife has watched me write, blog and make speeches for a few years now. I’ve encouraged her to do her own video blog (vlog), too, because she is always watching them, but she hasn’t been interested in the spotlight.

Now that enough time has passed, she is ready to go for it! Angelika is a great cook, so she is going to do a cooking show. I am just thrilled that she has found a passion to pursue in a way that works for her.

I’m smart enough to step back and let her go at her own pace. I know that being there for emotional support or however she needs me is important. Now that my wife will have a studio worthy of her talents and personality, she will only make the kitchen look better.

Part of me hopes that I will spend the rest of my life watching and tasting her creations. When you start to express your creative drive, it can be a wonderful ride. When the love of your life takes the ride with you, and starts to drive, it’s pretty cool way to travel through life.

I am at my best when being creative, whether in front of a keyboard or a live audience. I have always encouraged creative answers to life. There is always more than one right way to do something.

Yes, public attention in our social media world has become a marker of success, but it means more when you are sending a positive message. Helping people enjoy their lives a little more is a big deal.

This project will not just make her happy but make us closer. I am aware that this is her project, not mine. I will answer any questions she asks but be careful about offering unwanted advice. What she doesn't know she will learn. You never want to take that process away from anyone.

【1】Why didn’t Angelika try vlogging before?

A．She was too busy to do it.

B．She had no such talent or skill.

C．She lacked self-confidence.

D．She didn’t enjoy being on camera.

【2】What’s the author’s attitude to Angelika’s decision?

A．Worried.

B．Doubtful.

C．Supportive.

D．Unconcerned.

【3】What does the author think is important in doing a vlog?

A．Delivering positive messages with creativity.

B．Showing how successful you are.

C．Experiencing the ups and downs it brings.

D．Interacting with a live audience.

【4】How will the author help his wife?

A．He will prepare ingredients.

B．He will provide emotional support.

C．He will offer comments.
