26、Henrik is a kindergarten student living in Evanston, Illinois. Every Tuesday the waste-collecting crews and trucks show up in his neighborhood. The crews arrive to collect the garbage, recycling from people's homes. For a 6-year-old boy who loves trucks, seeing that weekly event is exciting. But one day, he started to run outside and help.

He started pulling out the carts from his house for the crew. Then, he didn't just do his house, he went down the street and pulled all the carts out for his neighbors. A friendship sprung up between Henrik and the recycling collectors. The men would chat with Henrik, and Henrik would tell them about his day. "My staff often told me about this young man," said Kevin Johnson, who is in charge of recycling in Evanston. "Every Tuesday, like clockwork, he's there to run the route with them. It was nice to know somebody was thinking about us. It was kind of a joy and a thrill for my staff."

"We thought we should give him something to say thank you and kind of make his day." Johnson said. One Tuesday, a total of six trucks all lined up in front of Henrik's house. The group gave Henrik a safety vest and hard hat, just like they wear, and then they presented him with an award. The award has a picture of a recycling truck and the department name. It says "Employee Recognition Award". Henrik said it made him feel like he was part of the team.

Johnson said that Henrik has been a bright spot during many hard weeks. Henrik wrote a thank-you note to the crew. He included a photo that his mom took of the group presenting him his award. "He keeps our staff's spirits up," Johnson said. "We don't always get that many thank-you notes."

27、   Many students have difficulty keeping their things organized. What can we do to assist them? Learning Management System (LMS) is an app teachers can use to upload and present all the information students need: documents, grades, the assignment calendar, etc. 【1】

Track assignments and calendars. Teachers can create calendars or charts in their LMS showing the upcoming schedule for projects and readings, which allows students to see clearly what assignments are left to complete and when they're due. 【2】Instead of digging through their backpacks for homework, now, students can quickly tell the teacher exactly what they have done.

Follow teachers' feedback. With an LMS, students can submit a typed document and receive direct feedback from their teachers in comments typed on the side of the doc. The comments are tied to specific phrases in the students' text. Students can easily access them, and better yet, they can then respond to the teacher's comment, creating a dialogue or conversation that the student can refer back to later. 【3】

【4】In the past, after receiving the dreaded red-pen comments on their essays, students would have to scrawl out corrections on the messy draft and then write a whole new draft on a separate piece of paper. 【5】 Students struggling with writing production, expressive language, and attention issues should have an easier time with this kind of work using formats like Word, Google Docs, and PowerPoint.

We now live in a digital world. Thankfully for our students, especially those with learning challenges, LMS helps them become more independent and confident in their studies.

A．Edit and rewrite.

B．Practice writing properly.

C．In the convenience of LMS, things are different.

D．It can even generate an "upcoming assignments"  notice on the home page.

E．It's an effective system for students who have trouble with classroom organization.

F．Below are some uses of this system for students struggling with classroom organization.

G．This is a simple but effective way for the student and teacher to engage with each other.

28、Some new comets have been discovered accidentally by amateur (业余的) astronomers. Surprisingly a few bright comets have been discovered with the naked eye (肉眼) by members of the general public. However, a great number of comets are found by comet hunters carrying out telescope searches of chosen areas of the night sky.

As the movement of all comets is directed around the Sun and because these bodies brighten as they move towards the Sun, there is a greater possibility for the discovery of a new comet in the skies towards the Sun rather than away from the Sun's direction. This means that searches should be put on the western sky after evening light and on the eastern sky before morning light.

From the astronomical point there is no time during the year which is the best for the discovery of new comets. A search can be done at any time providing there is no bright Moon.

Studies done on the discovery conditions of comets discovered before show that more comets have been discovered in the morning sky than in the evening sky. Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much if not more attention than any evening effort.

In recent times, the use of advanced CCD technology to discover objects close to the Earth will in the future greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes. An example of the new technology is the very successful LINEAR program operating in New Mexico, However, until a similar system is based in the southern half of the Earth there will continue to be chances for the discovery of new comets which come from the south.

【1】What are comet hunters advised to do?

A．Look away from the Sun.

B．Stay where there's bright light.

C．Face the western sky in the daytime.

D．Turn to the east in the early morning.

【2】What do we know about the time for the discovery of new comets?

A．Days when they're close to the Earth are great chances.

B．Certain fixed days are best for watching comets.

C．Every day is the same if there's no bright Moon.

D．Days with the Moon should never be missed.

【3】Which of the following is a smart idea for comet hunters?

A．Paying more attention in the morning than in the afternoon.

B．Being equally serious both in the morning and afternoon.

C．Being more relaxed in the morning than in the afternoon.

D．Forming a habit of working only in the morning.

【4】What can be inferred about the CCD technology?

A．It's similar to a telescope.

B．It'll disappoint comet hunters.

C．It's spreading all over the world.

D．It'll make comet hunters feel lucky.
