26、Tabichi’s father, uncle, and cousins have all worked as teachers. He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people’s lives and wanted to do the same. So for the past 12 years, Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.

However, working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy. The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students. The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access. The school also has no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers. Most of the students are not able to concentrate, because they haven’t had enough meals at home.

One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible. So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school. When the 36-year-old gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out, he works to persuade families to put more value in education. To help those in poverty afford food, uniforms, and books, Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary. Despite all the obstacles he faces, Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village’s youth in school. He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.

Thanks to his tireless work, his students have excelled. In recent years, students have won national and international science competitions. In March of 2022, Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.

【1】What inspired Tabichi to be a teacher?

27、If you’ve ever felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut (肠道) ” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood and health. Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS 肠神经系统).

The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gut. Unlike the big brain in your head, the ENS can’t calculate or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain.” For decades, researchers and doctors thought that anxiety and depression contributed to gut problems. But Pasricha’s research shows that it can also be the other way around.

Our two brains “talk” to each other, so treatments that help one may help the other. In a way, doctors who treat digestive conditions are like advisors looking for ways to comfort the second brain. Psychological approaches also help to improve communications between the big brain and the brain in our gut.

Pasricha says the research suggests that digestive-system activity may affect thinking skills and memory, too. “This is an area that needs more research, something we hope to do here at Johns Hopkins,” he says.

【1】Why does the author mention “butterflies in your stomach” in paragraph 1?

A．To show the power of the ENS.

B．To prove the origin of the idiom.

C．To explain why you’re very nervous.

D．To engage the readers with the topic.

【2】What does Pasricha’s research tell us?

A．The main role of the ENS has changed.

B．Depression contributes to gut problems.

C．The ENS affects what happens in the brain.

D．Gut problems are different from what they were.

【3】What is the benefit of Pasricha’s research?

A．It helps to prevent stomach problems.

B．It leads to further brain improvement.

C．It creates new treatment opportunities.

D．It gives a guide for better communication.

【4】What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The research proves quite fruitful.

B．There is still more to learn about mind-gut link.

C．Digestive-system activity has other bad influence.

D．Pasricha is determined to improve people’s memory.

28、These years traveling abroad is becoming more and more popular with ordinary Chinese people. If you want to enjoy such a wonderful travel, your travelling abroad truly requires the most careful of preparations. 【1】 This is a short list of some necessary things you should not forget to bring as you fly to a foreign land.

Passport. First, be sure to bring your passport along with several copies of it. Accidentally losing your passport can be a difficult experience you should always try to avoid. You may keep digital copies of this important document for backup purposes, too. 【2】

Guidebook. Staying in an unfamiliar place doesn’t have to be a headache with the help of a nice guidebook. This one provides you with maps and information you can use as you move from one place to another.

Extra clothes. While travelling, “lightly” is always highly recommended; never make the mistake of bringing lesser than what you actually need. 【3】 This is a safety precaution that you can do to make sure that you have something to wear just in case your luggage is unknowingly lost.

Medicines. Make it a point to take good care of your health while you are away. Bring enough medicines because some of them may not be available outside your country.

【4】.For example, you should get as much information as you can about the country such as its local laws, culture, weather conditions, and more. This will allow you to fit in and make any necessary adjustments. 【5】 That’s because they’re very attractive to thieves. The same rule applies to devices such as cameras, smart phones, laptop computers and others.

A．Bringing cash is also must.

B．And when going outdoors, try not to wear expensive jewelry.

C．Also, try researching about the safety of the specific area you will visiting.

D．What’s more, you may consider putting your extra clothes inside your carry-on.

E．Whether you’re a tourist or businessman, there are certain things you must keep in mind.

G．Besides these must-haves, you also have to obey certain precautions to avoid any problems.

29、   My family and I belonged to a country club located across the street from the Long Island Sound. Each summer, the big attraction for us was the pool. I learned how to swim and joined the swimming team but was never really a good swimmer. However, swimming in my younger days was a way to keep cool, and swimming on a team gave me identity and a sense of belonging (归属感). It also became invaluable many years later.

Fast-forward (快进) to 1973 – I was married, pregnant and had a home. What made our little home even more wonderful was when I discovered that four blocks away was Rath Park Pool! For the next 30 years, most of our summer days were spent around that pool.

Each of my five kids took swimming lessons and learned all the different swimming strokes (姿势). They later joined the swimming team and competed in meets. My daughter even became a lifeguard at the town pool. I sat back and happily took it all in!

As much as I would have liked to have life stand still, it doesn’t. My children outgrew their pool days and moved on. But the pool was still four blocks from my home, so I began to take up swimming again. And it was far better than I ever could have imagined. I got so much out of it that I joined the local pool so I could swim year-round. Whenever I swam, I would always come out feeling physically and mentally refreshed. I often felt that if I looked hard enough, I would be able to see all of the worries and problems I’ve had in life, sitting at the bottom of the pool!

What has swimming taught me? I’ve learned that balance is the key to being a good swimmer. If you are balanced in the water, you have no resistance. Working on staying balanced made me realize the similarities between life in and out of the swim lane (泳道). If you work on keeping yourself balanced, you will be able to swim right through the stress and problems life throws at you.

Caneze and her parents moved to the United Sates when she was only two years old and they haven't visited their motherland for ten years. Last month, Caneze's grandfather came to see them, and the family threw a big party. But Caneze didn't spend much time with him that day. He didn't speak English,so how could she have any sort of conversation with him? Caneze spent most of that day in the study room,texting her best friend, Maya, and watching her cousins play video games. There was a huge art competition coming up at school,and Caneze and Maya were planning to compete.

“I wish you'd spent time with your grandfather instead of your phone, Caneze,” Mom said one day on the way home.

“But I don't even know him,” Caneze said, “and he doesn't speak any English. How could I talk to him?”

“And you don't speak any Ukrainian(乌克兰语), Caneze, but he'd love to get to know you. I think you may find that you two have a lot in common. ”

Two weeks later, Caneze came home from school in the afternoon to find her grandfather sitting at the kitchen table chatting with Mom happily. On the table sat some books. The old man smiled warmly at Caneze, and she smiled back as she sat down at the table. As Grandpa and Mom spoke in Ukrainian, Caneze let her mind wander. As the art competition was around the corner,

Maya and she had to be quick for their project. Suddenly, an idea for a picture came to her, so she fetched her sketchbook. Sitting at the table, she sketched while the adults talked. Then Caneze heard Mom say, “I have to run out for a few minutes. You can stay here with Grandpa. ”

Caneze suddenly felt unsure and shy, what would the two of them talk about? “This is going to be awkward,” she thought as her mind was racing for an idea for this embarrassed moment. She gave Grandpa a polite smile and then returned to the lines and shapes she had drawn on the page.

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her.
