23、 “We give our girls the power (力量) to believe in themselves, go to college, and become tomorrow’s leaders,” says Felicia Gibson Jaycox, the founder (创立者) and chief executive officer of The Power of You Teens (POYT). The organization is based in Harlem, a historic African-American neighborhood in New York City.
Founded in 2014, POYT offers educational chances and positive role models for teenage girls growing up in Harlem. These “Power Girls” take part in dance, summer camp, and STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), among other programs. The purpose, according to the group, is to empower teenage girls to help them “dream big and to inspire them to achieve the most that they are capable of.”
POYT held its sixth yearly Empowerment Event in the fall of 2019 in New York City. The theme of “Girl Boss” encouraged girls to show their inner boss spirit. Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris was the keynote speaker.
Kaliegh said that she and other beauty competition winners are helping to reshape traditional images of beauty and showing that women of color are not just beautiful — they also are driven, wise women whom little girls can look up to.
I asked Ashley McFarlin Buie, POYT co-director, what inspired founder and CEO Felicia Gibson to start the organization. Gibson saw the plight that girls of color are in. For some historical reasons, many girls of color are growing up in terrible neighborhoods. They seldom see people like themselves showed positively in movies, books, TV shows, and other media.
“Powerful girls grow up to be dependable and confident women, preparing for their futures as creative leaders,” Buie said. POYT centers on saving the mind, body, and spirit of Black girls through love and support, she added.
What do the girls get out of the group? “We offer chances,” Buie said, “to break barriers (屏障).”

24、Three Chinese astronauts recently arrived at the country’s new space station in another step forward for the growing space power. Here is a look at some of the space station’s major goals.
The three-member crew will stay for three months in the station’s main living space, called a module (舱). The module is named Tianhe, which means “Harmony of the Heavens” in Chinese. The astronauts will carry out science experiments and perform maintenance. They also plan to complete space walks and prepare the station to receive two other modules next year.
While China admits it arrived late to the space station game, it says its new station is modern and includes the latest space technology. Tianhe might even outlast (更长久) the International Space Station (ISS), which is nearing the end of its operational lifespan (寿命). The recent launch brought back China’s crewed space program after a five-year break. China has now sent 14 astronauts into space since its first launch in 2003. It is the third country after the former Soviet Union and the United States to do so.
As its economy experienced growth in the 1990s, China made a plan for space exploration. Since then, it has attempted to carry out this plan carefully and evenly (平均地). China was banned from joining the ISS. It is likely, however, that China would have built its own station anyway because of its goal to become a major space power.
Ji Qiming is the Assistant Director of the China Manned Space Agency. He recently told reporters that the building and operation of the space station will raise the level of Chinese technologies. He also said it will “accumulate experience for all the people”.
【1】What will the crew do in the module?
A.Do experiments.
B.Build two modules.
C.Keep balance.
D.Try to survive.
【2】What is true of the International Space Station?
A.It is the most modern.
B.It was built in 2017.
C.Its operation will soon end.
D.Its lifespan is short.
【3】Why did China built its own station?
A.To challenge ISS.
B.To show its determination.
C.To keep a promise.
D.To join the ISS.
【4】Which of the following does the underlined part “all the people” refer to?
A.People all over the world.
B.Chinese people.
C.The three Chinese astronauts.
D.All the astronauts.
