The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.

27、   When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.

While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.

The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”

In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.

“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.

Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.

“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman.  “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”

What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.

Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.

【1】What troubled Natalie when she was 12?

A.She had to go to a new school.

B.She was hurt by her classmates.

C.She found it hard to be friendly to others.

D.She failed to help those who were bullied.

【2】The underlined word “outcast” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person ________.

A.who is not useful B.who dislikes food

C.who bullies others D.who is not accepted

【3】How does Sit With Us help kids?

A.By talking with them. B.By introducing programs.

C.By serving lunch to them. D.By supporting them at lunch.

【4】What’s Natalie’s hope for the future?

A.Encourage more kids to use Sit With Us.

B.Invite more kids to her lunch table.

C.Invent other apps like Sit With Us.

D.Win more national awards.

28、Being a normal, healthy nineteen-year-old, Rhona was in the habit of falling asleep the moment her head touched her pillow and not wakening up again until her mother called her at seven-thirty.

When she awoke that morning in the grey light of early dawn, she had no idea what had disturbed her. Then she imagined, or thought she imagined, a faint smell of smoke around her nostrils (鼻孔). What was strange, though, was the very fact that she was wide awake and, according to her bedside clock, it was only a quarter to four.

She sat up, listening, alert. There was definitely a smell of burning. Rising quickly, she crossed to the window and opened it quietly, thinking it would be the remains of some garden bonfire. But it wasn’t. She saw smoke and flames billowing out of a downstairs window next door.

Barefoot and in pyjamas, she ran first to her parents’ room, opening their door to call, “Mum! Dad! There’s a fire next door!”

Downstairs in a flash, she hurriedly dialed 999 and gave her name and address in clear, brief tones. By the time she had finished, Graeme, her elder brother, was coming running downstairs.

“You go to their front door—I’ll go to the back,” she said to him.

As she banged on their neighbors’ back door, she could hear a child crying in fear. Without stopping to think, Rhona lifted the large doorstop and smashed it through a glass panel, put her hand in and turned the key which opened the door.

Through the smoke she saw a drying screen hung with white washing and she grabbed at as many of the damp (湿的) clothes as she could on her way past towards the stairs. Halfway up she met Mr Parker carrying the baby and she hurriedly gave him some wet towels before doing the same for Mrs Parker who was behind him leading two-year-old Clare by the hand.

“Crouch down as low as you can,” Rhona directed them as she took the child’s other hand. Within a matter of seconds the family was safely outside.

【1】Rhona woke up early in the morning because________.

A．her mother called her for an emergency

B．she heard a baby crying in fear downstairs

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

B．The Parkers escaped from the burning house together.

C．Rhona broke into the house by back door after smashing the glass panel.

D．Rhona covered her mouth with the damp clothes before entering the Parkers’.

【3】According to the article, Rhona can be best described as ________.

A．alert and timid

B．courageous and stressed

C．panic(恐慌) and sympathetic (有同情心的)

29、A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, especially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant.

The researchers found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who live in the northern US are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $ 50, 000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less than $50, 000. There is one likely reason: the wealthier Americans have more money to spend.

Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, Lynn said he found mixed results on the generosity of men and women when it comes to tipping. In some studies, men gave bigger tips than women. In others, women gave more money.

Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Tips are very important to service employees. People who work at restaurants often get most of their earnings from tips.

Nationwide, Americans generally tip between 15 to 20 percent at restaurants and leave from $2 to S 10 a day for the people who clean their hotel rooms. Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.

But here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity will be welcome. Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.

【1】What is paragraph I mainly about?

A．A study in a restaurant.

B．A job offering a lot of tips.

C．The service industry in the US.

D．The custom of tipping in the US.

【2】What is Lynn’s finding in American restaurants?

A．People give more tips to the opposite sex server.

B．People are always more generous to service employers.

C．Men give the same tips to the women restaurant servers as women.

D．Men always give more tips to the men restaurant servers than women.

【3】How much tips do Americans generally pay if the reading on the taximeter is $100?

A．$2.

B．$10.

C．$15.

D．$20.

【4】What is the authors attitude towards tipping?

A．Doubtful.

B．Critical.

C．Uncaring.

D．Supportive.

30、   Bullying（欺辱）is a problem that influences millions of students every day around the world. Here are some things you can do to fight against bullying to protect yourself at school.
