26、A large number of India’s urban(城区的) poor kids receive little or no education. Even if they enter a formal school, their dropout rates are very high. Door Step School (DSS) aims to bridge the huge gap between these kids and education.
True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t get formal education due to a variety of reasons.
The team at DSS follows a direct model—they set up a classroom in any area, a footpath, construction site, or underpass, where they foresee the greatest need. They look for proper locations, and after making sure that enough resources are in place, they accept students in the area. DSS provides lessons of different levels. The organization even tries to provide classes in the local language, or whatever the students choose.
Another interesting project of DSS is a school on wheels. It uses a bus that has been changed into a classroom, which holds about 25 kids at a time.
Since it was started in 1988, Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring city of Pune in Maharashtra, covering a larger area and number of kids. Now DSS has a team of more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000 lives each year.
DSS doesn’t end at kids. The organisation educates parents on the importance of sending their kids to school. Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two decades. Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces. All children have the right to an education, and DSS is providing just that.

27、There are few things more comforting than a hug. It’s a gesture that makes you feel loved, supported, and safe.【1】In fact, for some, even a simple touch on the shoulder can cause them great discomfort. In the event that this is a person close to you, you may have even felt rejected by their attitude. Knowing the reasons behind their behavior will help you understand them. Let’s take a look at some of the possible causes.
【2】
A study has discovered that the degree to which we show physical affection and are comfortable with it depends on how we were raised.【3】However,as a matter of fact, some people who grew up with a lack of physical affection may later try to makeup for it. They’re the ones who always take the initiative and kiss and hug those close to them.
Low self-esteem and insecurity
【4】In fact, it’s been proven that the most insecure people generally feel threatened by being close to others. By marking and keeping their distance, they feel more in control of the situation. In fact, it means they avoid feeling vulnerable. Furthermore, they feel like it saves them from rejection or an emotional bond that’s too intimate.
Trauma (创伤)and abuse
Lastly, if individuals suffered physical abuse in their past, it is highly likely that they may reject any forms of physicaI contact. This rejection is often a result of the deep-seated fear and distrust that has developed within them due to their previous experiences. Indeed,traumatic events and negative experiences, such as physical violence or abuse, can generate a great fear of establishing physical closeness with others【5】
A.Parenting style
B.Fears and panic
C.However, not everyone experiences these pleasant sensations.
D.Those who dislike physical contact may not have strong and healthy self-esteem.
E.For instance, growing up in a loving family encourages children to be open and caring.
F.They may avoid getting close to others due to a panic of dirt, or the spread of certain diseases.
G.Thus, they may adopt a defensive gesture, keeping others at a distance to avoid potential harm.
28、Dear Strangers,
I remember you. Ten months ago, when my cellphone rang, you were walking into Whole Foods to do your grocery shopping. My brother was on the other end of the line, telling me my father’s death.
After I hung up, I started to cry as my whole body trembled(发抖). Overwhelmed with emotions, I fell to the floor, my knees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have kept on walking, ignoring my cries. Instead, you came over and comforted me.
One of you asked for my phone and who you should call. I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband, leaving an urgent message. I could hear you discuss who would drive me home. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t seem to matter.
I told you that I had a friend, Pam, who worked at Whole Foods and one of you went in search of her. I remember the relief I felt at seeing her face, familiar and warm. She took me to the back and brought comfort to me until my husband could get to me. One of you sent back a gift card to Whole Foods, which helped to feed(喂养)my family, when the idea of cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach, which lasted for days.
I’ve never seen you since then. Without you, I might have simply gotten in the car and tried to drive myself home. Terrible things would have happened. Your kindness to help a stranger in need has stayed with me until now. And no matter how many times my mind takes me back to that horrible life-changing moment, it’s not all darkness. You may not remember me. But I’ll never forget you.
Yours,
Deborah

29、Staying with family members or receiving professional care? Old people in Harbin have a new choice to enrich their life in retirement(退休), as harbin.dbw.cn reported.
The old people can take a bus to a day-care nursing home every day between 8 am and 5 pm, just like others go to work, and go back home to be with their families in the evening.
In the nursing home, they will receive professional care, have lunch, take part in activities such as calligraphy and singing, and take university lessons for them.
According to a research, there were 1.75 million old people by the end of 2015. Less than 10% choose to stay in the nursing home while most live at home. Loneliness and shortage of care are the main problems facing the stay-at-home old people.
"After my mother died, I tried to take good care of my father," said Zhou, an office worker.
Those who have retired parents agree that their parents spend a boring and lonely day at home, watching TV all day and filling their stomach with food. The situation becomes worse in winter when elders are unable to go out because of the cold.
However, the cost of such nursing homes is different from person to person but stands at around 2,000 yuan ($290). Another problem is the shortage of facilities. Even if two old people share a room in the nursing home, the city still lacks at least 100,000 such rooms.

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Adler lived with his unemployed mother and a younger brother in a small house in Durango. Like other boys at his age, the golden-haired boy wanted to play with his friends and have fun, but fate had other plans. After observing what was happening in his house, the boy decided to do something for his family. He picked up his only toy, a ball, and left his house with a mission—to help his family.
Little Adler walked to the nearest store with his last toy in hand, hoping he could sell it. While the little boy was selling his toy at the street, a man with the TikTok name Ruben Cervantes spotted him. Curious, he approached Adler to see what happened to him.
With tears in his eyes the little one said, “I just want to sell my only toy, sir. Would you like it?” When Cervantes learned Adler was selling his toy to help his family, he asked, “How much is it?” Adler replied, “I don’t want money, sir I just want milk and bread for my family.”
At that moment, Cervantes was so moved While other children at his age were enjoying and living a carefree life, Adler was worrying about his home’s financial situation. Without hesitation, Cervantes took the ball from the boy, gave him a hug and said, “Don’t cry, my boy. I’ll keep your ball for now, hoping to play it with you one day.” Cervantes did buy milk and bread in exchange for his ball and sent him back home. The boy flashed a toothy smile and said, “Thank you so much, sir. I’m looking forward.”
Immediately Cervantes got home, he posted Adler’s story on TikTok. All the viewers were touched by his devotion to his family and expressed their willingness to help the poor family. For a month, piles of food and clothes were flooding into Cervantes’ home. Apparently, it’s time for him to pay a visit.
