26、 My father suffered a disease once, but he was an optimist(乐天派).He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he became a volunteer at a children's hopital. Sometimes one or two kids would die. At this time he would tell the heart-broken parents of the children that he would be with their children in heaven and that he would look after them there.

There was a girl with a disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down. She couldn't do anything. My dad decided to help her with his true love. He started visiting her, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He began to put the paintbrush in his mouth to paint. He didn't use his hands. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her. "You can do anything once you make up your mind to do it,”he said. Finally, she began to paint using her mouth, too.

Later, my dad recovered and returned to work. He worked at the volunteer counter in the hospital. One day, he noticed the front door open. In came the little girl who had been paralyzed. She was walking! She hugged my dad tightly and gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: "Thank you for helping me walk again!”

After that my father often said love was more powerful than doctors.

27、Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey - rats will soon be man’s new best friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs.Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).

【1】In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become popular because they can .

A．get into small spaces

B．take the place of man’s rescue jobs

A．people still use dogs and robots in rescue work

B．the “rat project” has been completed already

C．rats have replaced dogs in searching for people

D．people are happy to see a rat in a building

【4】The main idea of the passage is about_______in an earthquake.

A．dos and don’ts

B．the role rats will play

C．ways of rescuing people

D．the reason for not using dogs

28、When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modem society, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.

According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the tragedy occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.

More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children.

Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion(筋疲力尽).

The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.

A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.

Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠仪式) at the lake.

Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation, but their lives were no longer in danger.

29、Q&A on COVID-19 Vaccination in China

China has granted conditional marketing authorization for the first COVID-19 vaccine, and many places have planned to carry out mass vaccinations. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about vaccination.

How can one make a reservation to get a shot?Who can get vaccinated as soon as possible?

On Dec 5, China started vaccinating key groups. Individuals in these groups could not make a reservation themselves; instead, local authorities would arrange for these individuals to be vaccinated. After that, local authorities will arrange for service to the general public. People aged between 18 and 59 are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccination involves two shots, administered 14 days apart. The COVID-19 vaccines are provided to citizens for free.

Who is not eligible for vaccination?

Those who should not get vaccinated include pregnant women, lactating (哺乳期) women and patients with the following diseases:

●Patients in an acute stage of fever and infection; suffering from immune deficiency or immune disorder; having severe liver or kidney diseases; having uncontrolled hypertension (高血压), diabetic complications (糖尿病并发症) or malignant tumors (恶行肿瘤);

●Patients with other progressive nervous system diseases and mental diseases or family history of such diseases;

●Patients who have been diagnosed with congenital (先天性的) or acquired immunodeficiency, HIV infection, lymphoma (淋巴瘤), leukemia (白血病) or other autoimmune diseases;

●Patients with severe respiratory (呼吸) disease and severe cardiovascular (心脑血管) disease.

Is it necessary to maintain prevention and control measures after vaccination?

Since no vaccine can provide 100 percent protection’ a few vaccinated individuals could still get infected. The population immunity barrier has not been established at present. People still need to wear masks, maintain social distancing and practice good hygiene after vaccination.

What to do when an adverse reaction occurs?

According to the informed consent (许可) for vaccination, side effects include pain, itching, swelling, numbness and redness at the area where the shot is given, and other reactions include fatigue, fever, muscle pain, headache, cough, diarrhea (腹泻), nausea (恶心), loss of appetite and allergy.

Places providing vaccinations are required to have medical rescue ability and be associated with local hospitals. Those receiving a vaccination must remain at the service site 30 minutes before leaving.

Is it okay if people don’t want to be vaccinated?

Vaccination is voluntary. But China has planned to build a population immunity barrier, which can only be established when the vaccination rate reaches 60 to 70 percent. The general public is encouraged to get vaccinated.

【1】Which one of the below is not adverse effect of the vaccination?
