27、It was challenging for me to organize a big fundraiser for a non-profit organization Hope. Having been involved in voluntary work for many years and running several small fundraisers, I came up with an idea to create an event that would bring my friends and family together and would educate everyone about the meaning of what I had been doing.
I wanted to hold the event at a local venue (举办地点) so I fell back on a friend, Jill, whose husband Sal owns an amazing Italian restaurant. When I asked if they'd be willing to host my fundraising event, they replied with a flat yes.
To raise additional funds, Jill and I went to local businesses asking for donations. I was amazed at how generous my community was and we got great donations.
After months of planning, I was so happy to see a full room the day of the event. While everyone was enjoying Sal's delicious food, I gave a small speech about Hope. Many of my friends and family hadn't known of the hardships that children born with a cleft (唇裂) must bear or of the life-changing impact a Hope-supported surgery (外科手术) can have on their lives. By the end of the speech, I saw that people were really moved and did all they could to raise as much money as possible. The event eventually raised an incredible $14, 600.
The event taught me that it's not difficult to throw a successful fundraising event; it just takes a lot of work! However, my family, friends, and community were there to support me every step of the way. It's amazing that one small idea could turn into something with an incredible impact. How beautiful!

28、 More than a year into the pandemic of Covid-19, many people have grown used to a new lock-down lifestyle:keeping indoors,exercising less and eating more. “All of these contribute to worsening gut(消化道)function,"says Christopher Andrews,the lead physician at the Calgary Gut Motility Center, adding that heartburn is on the rise.
Heartburn is the painful effect of the stomach's acid creeping into the esophagus(食管). Diet is the greatest contributor: acidic foods such as grapefruits, hot sauce or coffee increase the amount of acid in your stomach, while chocolate, alcohol and high-fat foods result in loosened sphincter muscle. If that muscle weakens or is unable to close completely, stomach acid might arise,causing the heartburn. Spicy food can also increase uncomfortable feelings in the gut.
Heartburn occurs in bodies of all sizes, ages and genders, but researchers have found that overweight (超重的)people are two to three times more likely to experience frequent heartburn than those with a healthy weight. This may be because of the increased pressure on the gut,which can push stomach acid up. Changes in diet, such as the recent tendency for people to turn to comfort food in lock-down, can also lead to the problem.
Occasional heartburn isn't a problem, but experiences of frequent indigestion should push you to live a healthier life. According to a recent study of 9,000 heartburn patients, following a five-step health plan-maintaining a proper body weight, eating well, exercising, not smoking and limiting coffee or tea-can decrease symptoms (症状)by 40 per cent. Andrews also tells his patients to avoid eating close to bedtime, “If you lie down when your stomach is full, it's much easier for things to come up."
Though heartburn is currently on the rise, Andrews believes the increase is short-term. “Once life comes back to normal, I'm sure things will get better,” he says.
【1】Which of the following is the main cause of heartburn?

B.Stomach upsets will lead to heartburn.
C.Comfort food can help improve the situation.
D.Stomach acid will put more pressure on the gut.
【3】What's the writer's suggestion for relieving heartburn?
A.Getting enough sleep.
B.Saying no to tea.
C.Consuming less coffee.
D.Having a medical checkup.
【4】What's the purpose of the text?
A.To inform us of a health problem.
B.To warn us of a worsening situation.
C.To recommend a way of losing weight.
D.To introduce a new lock-down lifestyle.
